USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR

ENSURING PROPER AIR CIRCULATION

In order to ensure proper temperatures, air must flow between the refrigerator and freezer sections. As shown in the illustration below, cool air enters through the bottom of the freezer section and moves up. Most of the air then flows through the freezer section vents and recirculates under the freezer floor. The rest of the air enters the refrigerator section through the top vent

FRONTCHILL DOOR COOLING (on some models)

DOOR COOLING

• To provide cool air everywhere, there are cool air vents on all four internal wails in Frontchiil Door Cooling and on two internal wail In Door Cooling.
• This allows for more powerful and effective Cooling Especially noticeable when new food is placed in the refrigerator compartment.

Note: If you close the fresh food compartment door applying more force than necessary, freezer door may get open and dose again, due internal airflow of refrigerator.

SETTING THE CONTROLS (on some models)

• Your refrigerator has two controls that let you regulate the temperature in the freezer and refrigerator compartments.
• Initially set the REFRIGERATOR CONTROL at 4th position 37°F (3°C) and the FREEZER CONTROL at 4th position O°F(-10“C)

Leave it at this setting for 24 hours (one day) to stabilize. Then adjust the compartment temperature ss desired

• Refrigerator control: Position 1 to 7 (30°F t 48°F or - 1°C to 9°C)

The lower the number setting, the colder the refrigerator compartment will become

NOTE; You can lock the controls so the settings cannot be changed.

To lock the control:

1. Set the contra! to the desired settings
2. Press and hold the lock pad for 3 seconds

When the controls are locked, the indicator light will be on and the cold and colder controls will not operate.

To unlock the control:

1. Press and hold the lock pad for 3 seconds.

After unlocking the controls, the lock indicator light will be out, and the setting can be changed.

Freezer control:- 6°F to 8"F (-21"C to -13"0)

When the setting is at a lower number, the freezer compartment becomes colder, But the refrigerator compartment becomes warmer because less cold air flows into the refrigerator

NOTE: "F/*C display control-press this control to cbar_ge the displayed temperature to °F or °C
NOTE: To turn the refrigerator off, press and hold the °F /°C button for 3 seconds and it will show "FF" in the display. To turn the refrigerator on, press and hold the °F / °C button for 3 seconds again, and it will return to start-up status

NOTE: Pressing OFF control key, we setting the refrigerator for exhibition mode Only the refrigerator lights will work, not the refrigerator

NOTE: Pressing OFF control key, we setting the refrigerator for exhibition mode Only the refrigerator lights will work, not the refrigerator

NOTE: To turn the refrigerator off, press and hold the OFF button for 3 seconds. To turn the refrigerator ON, press and hold the OFF button for 3 seconds again

ADJUSTING CONTROL SETTINGS

Give the refrigerator time to cool down completely before adding food it is best to wait 24 hours before you put food into the refrigerator The mid-settings indicated in the previous section should be correct for normal household refrigerator usage. The controls are set correctly when milk or juice Is as cold as you like and when ice cream is firm

The refrigerator control functions as the thermostat for the entire appliance (refrigerator and freezer sections.) The higher the number setting, the longer the compressor will run to keep the temperature colder. The freezer control adjusts the cold air flow from the freezer to the refrigerator. Setting the freezer control to a lower temperature keeps more cold air in the Freezer compartment to make it colder. if you need to adjust temperatures in the refrigerator or freezer, start by adjusting the refrigerator first. Wait 24 hours after the refrigerator adjustment to check the freezer temperature, if it is too warm or too cold, then adjust the freezer control as well

Use the settings listed In the chart below as a guide. Always remember to wait at least 24 hours between adjustments.

FOOD STORAGE GUIDE

Storing Fresh Food

Wrap or store food in the refrigerator in airtight and moisture-proof material unless otherwise noted This prevents food odor and taste transfer throughout the refrigerator For dated products, check code date to ensure freshness

Butter or margarine

Keep opened butter in a covered dish or closed compartment. When storing an extra supply, wrap in freezer packaging and freeze

Cheese

Store in the original wrapping until you ere ready to use it..Once opened, rewrap tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil,.

Milk

Wipe miik cartons For best storage, place milk on interior shelf, not on door shelf

Eggs

Store in original carton on interior shelf, not on door shelf

Fruit

Wash, let dry and store in refrigerator in plastic bags or crisper. Do not wash or hull berries until they are ready to use Sort and keep berdes in original container in a crisper, or store in a loosely closed paper bag on a refrigerator shelf.

Leafy vegetables

Remove store wrapping and trim or tear off bruised and discolored areas Wash in cold water and drain Place in plastic bag or plastic container and store in crisper

Vegetables with skins (carrots, peppers)

Place in plastic bags or ptastic container and store tn crisper

Fish

Use fresh fish and shellfish the same day purchased,

Meat

Store most meat in original wrapping as long as it is airtight and moisture-proof Rewrap if necessary. See the following chart for storage times,, When storing meat longer than the times given, freeze the meat,.

Chicken .......................................... .... 1-2 days

Ground beef ....................................... .1-2 days

Organ meats (liver, heart, etc) ............. 1-2 days

Cold cuts ............................................. 3-5 days

Steaks/roasts ............................. ........ 3-5 days

Cured meats .............................. ....…7-10 days

Leftovers

Cover leftovers with plastic wrap or aluminum foil

STORING FROZEN FOOD

NOTE: For further informationabout preparing food for freezing or food storage times, check a freezer guide or a reliable cookbook

Packaging

Successful freezing depends on correct packaging When you close and seal the package, it must not allow air or moisture in or out If you do, you could have food odor and taste transfer throughout the refrigerator and also dry out frozen food

Packaging recommendations:

• Rigid plastic containers with tight-fitting lids
• Straight-sided canningtfreezing jars
• Heavy-duty aluminum foil
• Plastic-coated paper
• Non-permeable plastic wraps
• Specified freezer-grade self-seating plastic bags

Follow package or container instructions for proper freezing methods

Do not use;

• Bread wrappers
• Non-polyethylene plastic containers
• Containers without tight lids o Wax paper or wax-coated freezer wrap
• Thin, semi-permeable wrap

Freezing

Your freezer will not quick4reeze any large quantity of food Do not put more unfrozen food into the freezer than will freeze within 24 hours (no more than 2 to 3 Ibs of food per cubic foot of freezer space) Leave enough space in the freezer for air to circulatearound packages Be careful to leave enough room at the front so the door can close tightly.

Storage timeswill vary according to the quality and type of food, the type of packaging or wrap used (.airtight and moisture-proof) and the storage temperature, ice crystals inside a sealed package are normal This simply means that moisture in the food and air inside the package have condensed, creating ice crystals.

NOTE: Allow hot foods to cool at room temperature for minutes, then package and freeze, Cooling hot foods before freezing saves energy

NOTE: Do not store food near the sensor; it may cause the sensor to malfunction

CONNECTING THE WATER LINE

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Unless it is performed by Sears service this water line installation is not warranted by the refrigerator or icemaker manufacturer. _

Follow these instructions carefully to minimize the risk of expensive water damage.

Water hammer (water banging in the pipes) in house plumbing can cause damage to refrigerator parts and lead to water leakage or flooding. Call a qualified plumber to correct water hammer before installing the water supply line to the refrigerator.

To prevent bums and product damage, do not hook up the water line to the hot water line, if you use your refrigerator before connecting the water line, make sure the icemaker power switch is in the O (off) position.

Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas where temperatures fail below freezing When using any electrical device (such as a power drill) during installation, be sure the device is doubleinsulated or grounded in a manner to prevent the hazard of electric shock, or is battery-powered.

All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Install the shutoff valve on the nearest frequently used drinking water line.

1. SHUT OFF THE MAIN WATER SUPPLY Turn on the nearest faucet to relieve the pressure on the line.
2. CHOOSE THE VALVE LOCATION Choose a location for the valve that is easily accessible. It is best to connect into the side of a vertical water pipe. When it is necessary to connect into a horizontal water pipe, make the connection to the top or side, rather than at the bottom, to avoid drawing off: any sediment from the water pipe.
   
3. DRILL THE HOLE FOR THE VALVE Drill a 1/4 in. hole in the water pipe using a sharp bit. Remove any burrs resulting from drilling the hole in the pipe. Be careful not to allow water to drain into the drill. Failure to drill a 1/4 in. hole may result in reduced ice production or smaller cubes.
   
4. FASTEN THE SHUTOFF VALVE Fasten the shutoff: valve to the cold water pipe with the pipe clamp.
   
5. Tighten the clamp screws until the sealing washer begins to swell.
   
6. ROUTE THE TUBING Route the tubing between the cold water line and the refrigerator. Route the tubing through a hole drilled in the wall or floor (behind the refrigerator or adjacent base cabinet) as close to the wall as possible.
   NOTE: Be sure there is suMcient extra tubing (about 8 feet coiled into 3 turns of about 10 in. diameter) to allow the refrigerator to move out from the wall after installation.
7. CONNECT THE TUBING TO THE VALVE Place the compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for copper tubing onto the end of the tubing and connect it to the shutoff valve. Make sure the tubing is fully inserted into the valve. Tighten the compression nut securely.
   
8. FLUSH OUT THE TUBING Turn the main water supply on and flush out the tubing until the water is clear. Shut the water oft: at the water valve after about one quart of water has been flushed through the tubing.
   
9. CONNECT THE TUBING TO THE REFRIGERATOR NOTE: Before making the connection to the refrigerator, be sure that the refrigerator power cord is not plugged into the wall outlet.
   
   Place the compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) onto the end of the tubing.Insert the end of the tubing into the water vaive connection as far as possible While holding the tubing, tighten the fitting
   
   Fasten the tubing into the tubing Clamp attached to the back of the refrigerator.
   First you loosen the screw fastening the clamp, next insert the tubing in the groove, last re-fasten the screw
10. TURN THE WATER ON AT THE SHUTOFF VALVE Tighten any connections that leak.
    
11. PLUG iN THE REFRIGERATOR Arrange the coil of tubing so that it does not vibrate against the back of the refrigerator or against the wall. Push the refrigerator back to the wall.
    
12. START THE ICEMAKER Set the icemaker power switch to the ON position. The icemaker will not begin to operate until it reaches its operating temperature of 15°F (-9°C) or below. It will then begin operation automatically if the icemaker power switch is in the ON (I) position.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

UNDERSTANDING SOUNDS YOU M/V HEAR

Your new refrigerator may make sounds that your old one didn’t make Because the sounds are new to you, you might be concerned about them. Most of the new sounds are normal, Hard surfaces, like the floor, wails and cabinets, can make the sounds seem louder than they actually are The following describes the kinds of sounds and what may tie making them.

The defrost timer will click when the automatic defrost cycle begins and ends The thermostat control (or refrigerator control, depending on the model) will also click whan cycling on and off Rattling noises may come from the flow of refrigerant, the water line or items stored on top of the refrigerator. Your refrigerator is designed to run more efficiently to keep your food items at the desired temperature. The high efficiency compressor may cause your new refrigerator to run longer than your old one, and you may hear a pulsating or high-pitched sound Contraction and expansion of the inside walls may cause a popping noise. You may hear the evaporator fan motor circulating the air through the refrigerator and freezer compartments Water dripping on the defrost heater during a defrost cycle may cause a sizzling sound As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the refrigerant flowing in your refrigerator You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the condenser fan. You may hear water running into the drain pan during the defrost cycle Note; Due to refrigerator's low energy consumption design, the fans will remain off by the door switch activates the inner compartment light
