IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
This guide contains many important safety messages. Always read and obey all safety messages.

This is the safety alert symbol. It alerts you to safety messages that inform you of hazards that can kill or hurt you or others, or cause damage to the product.
All safety messages will be preceded by the safety alert symbol and the hazard signal word DANGER, WARNING or CAUTION. These words mean:

You will be killed or seriously injured if you do not follow instructions.
You can be killed or seriously injured if you do not follow instructions.
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury, or product damage.

All safety messages will identify the hazard, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury when using your product, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following.
Read all instructions before using this appliance.

• NEVER unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull it straight out from the outlet.
• Immediately repair or replace all power cords that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either the plug or connector end.
• Do not modify or extend the power cord length. It could cause electric shock or fire.
• When moving your refrigerator away from the wall, be careful not to roll over or damage the power cord.
• The insulation in this unit contains cyclopentane or a pentane-like gas which is flammable and requires a special elimination process. Before discontinuing use of this refrigerator, contact local authorities to arrange for safe disposal of the unit.
• DO NOT store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
• DO NOT store explosive substances such as aerosol cans containing flammable propellants in this appliance.
• DO NOT allow children to climb, stand, or hang on the refrigerator doors or shelves in the refrigerator. They could damage the refrigerator and seriously injure themselves.
• Keep fingers out of pinch point areas; clearances between the doors and cabinets are necessarily small. Be careful closing doors when children are in the area.
• Unplug your refrigerator before cleaning or making any repairs.

NOTE: It is strongly recommended that any service be performed by a qualified technician.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

• Before service is performed on the interior LED lighting, unplug the refrigerator or turn off power at the circuit breaker or fuse box.
  NOTE: The refrigerator and freezer compartment lights are LED interior lighting, and service should be performed by a qualified technician.
  WARNING: Setting either or both controls to the OFF position does not remove power to the light circuit.

• When you are finished, reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical source and reset the controls (Thermostat, Refrigerator Control, and or Freezer Control, depending on the model) to the desired setting.

• This refrigerator must be properly installed in accordance with the Attention Installer Instructions that were taped to the front of the refrigerator.

• After your refrigerator is in operation, do not touch the cold surfaces in the freezer compartment when hands are damp or wet. Skin may adhere to the extremely cold surfaces.

• DO NOT touch the automatic ice making mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged in.

• DO NOT refreeze frozen foods which have thawed completely. The United States Department of Agriculture in Home and Garden Bulletin No. 69 says:
  …You may safely refreeze frozen foods that have thawed if they still contain ice crystals or if they are still cold—below 4°C.
  ..- Thawed ground meats, poultry or fish that have any off-odor or off-color should not be refrozen and should not be eaten. Thawed ice cream should be discarded.
  If the odor or color of any food is poor or questionable, dispose of it. The food may be dangerous to eat.
  Even partial thawing and refreezing reduces the eating quality of foods, particularly fruits, vegetables and prepared foods. The eating quality of red meats is affected less than that of many other foods. Use refrozen foods as soon as possible to save as much of their quality as you can.

**** WARNING: This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

CAUTION

This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

DANGER: RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT

Junked or abandoned refrigerators are dangerous, even if they are sitting for only a few days. If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator, please follow the instructions at right to help prevent accidents (child entrapment and suffocation).

BEFORE YOU THROW AWAY YOUR OLD REFRIGERATOR OR FREEZER:

• Take off the doors.
• Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.

CFC/HCFC DISPOSAL

Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system that used CFCs or HCFCs (chlorofluorocarbons or hydrochlorofluorocarbons). CFCs and HCFCs are believed to harm stratospheric ozone if released to the atmosphere. Other refrigerants may also cause harm to the environment if released to the atmosphere.
If you are throwing away your old refrigerator, make sure the refrigerant is removed for proper disposal by a qualified technician. If you intentionally release refrigerant, you may be subject to fines and imprisonment under provisions of environmental legislation.

ELECTRICAL & GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS

IMPORTANT: Please read carefully.
TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY

WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, this appliance must be properly grounded. Have the wall outlet and the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.

RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD
The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own individual properly grounded electrical outlet rated for 115 Volts, 60 Hz, AC only, and fused at 15 amperes (minimum).
This provides the best performance and also prevents overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided.
Use a receptacle that cannot be turned off with a switch or pull chain. Do not use an extension cord.
Where a standard two-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall outlet.

USE OF EXTENSION CORDS
WARNING: Do not use extension cords or ungrounded (two-prong) adaptors. Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, the use of an extension cord is not recommended. However, if you still elect to use an extension cord, it is  absolutely necessary that it be a UL-listed (USA), 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding type plug and outlet, and that the electrical rating of the cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 120 volts.
Use of an extension cord will increase the clearance needed for the back of the refrigerator.

CAUTION

• Do not bend the power cord excessively or place heavy articles on it.
• Connect the power plug in the proper position with the cord hanging down.
• When moving the refrigerator, be careful not to roll over or damage the power cord.
•  If the power cord is damaged, have it replaced immediately by the manufacturer or its service agent.
• Do not insert the power plug with wet hands.
• Do not insert your hands into the area under the bottom of the appliance.
• Make sure that the power plug is not squashed or damaged by the back of the refrigerator.

**WARNING
Replacing Electrical Cord**
To avoid hazard, damaged power cords must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified technician. Do not operate the appliance with a damaged power cord.

USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR

SETTING THE CONTROLS

The refrigerator control functions as the thermostat for the entire appliance (refrigerator and freezer sections). The colder the 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.

AIRFLOW
Cold air circulates from the freezer to the fresh food section and back again through air vents in the wall dividing the two sections. Be sure not to block vents while packing your refrigerator. Doing so will restrict airflow and may cause the refrigerator temperature to become too warm or cause interior moisture buildup. (See air flow diagram below.)

IMPORTANT:
Because air circulates between both sections, any odors formed in one section will transfer to the other. You must thoroughly clean both sections to eliminate odors.
To prevent odor transfer and dried out food, wrap or cover foods tightly. (See the Food Storage Guide section for details.)
NOTE: If you close the refrigerator door, you may see the freezer door open and close again due to pressure from internal air flow.

PRIOR TO USE

1. Clean your refrigerator thoroughly and wipe off dust accumulated during shipping.
2. Install accessories such as ice cube bin, drawers, shelves, etc., in their proper places. They are packed together to prevent possible damage during shipment.
3. Let your refrigerator run for at least 2 or 3 hours before putting food in it. Check the flow of cold air in the freezer compartment to ensure proper cooling.
   Your refrigerator is now ready for use.

AUTOMATIC ICEMAKER (continued)
CAUTION

• The first ice and water dispensed may include particles or odor from the water supply line or the water tank.
• Throw away the first few batches of ice (about 24 cubes). This is also necessary if the refrigerator has not been used for a long time.
• Never store beverage cans or other items in the ice bin for the purpose of rapid cooling. Doing so may damage the icemaker or the containers may burst.
• If discolored ice is dispensed, check the water filter and water supply. If the problem continues, contact a Sears or other qualified service center. Do not use the ice or water until the problem is corrected.
• Keep children away from the dispenser. Children may play with or damage the controls.
• The ice passage may become blocked with frost if only crushed ice is used. Remove the frost that accumulates by removing the ice bin and clearing the passage with a rubber spatula. Dispensing cubed ice can also help prevent frost buildup.
• Never use thin crystal glass or crockery to collect ice. Such containers may chip or break resulting in glass fragments in the ice.
• Dispense ice into a glass before filling it with water or other beverages. Splashing may occur if ice is dispensed into a glass that already contains liquid.
• Never use a glass that is exceptionally narrow or deep. Ice may jam in the ice passage and refrigerator performance may be affected.
• Keep the glass at a proper distance from the ice outlet. A glass held too close to the outlet may prevent ice from dispensing.
• To avoid personal injury, keep hands out of the ice door and passage.
• Never remove the dispenser cover.
• If ice or water dispenses unexpectedly, turn off the water supply and contact Sears Home Service in U.S.A. call 1-844-553-6667, and in Canada call 1-800-469-4663.

STORING FROZEN FOOD
NOTE: Check a freezer guide or a reliable cookbook for further information about preparing food for freezing or food storage times.
Freezing
Your freezer will not quick-freeze a 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 lbs. of food per cubic foot of freezer space). Leave enough space in the freezer for air to circulate around packages. Be careful to leave enough room at the front so the door can close tightly. Storage times will vary according to the quality and type of food, the type of packaging or wrap used (how 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 30 minutes, then package and freeze. Cooling hot foods before freezing saves energy.
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 it does, you could have food odor and taste transfer throughout the refrigerator and could also dry out frozen food.

Packaging recommendations:

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

Follow package or container instructions for proper freezing methods.

Do not use

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

**   CAUTION:** Do not keep beverage cans or plastic food containers in the freezer compartment. They may break or burst if they freeze.

CONNECTING THE WATER LINE

BEFORE YOU BEGIN
This water line installation is not covered by the refrigerator warranty. 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 can lead to water leakage or flooding. Call a qualifled plumber to correct water hammer before installing the water supply line to the refrigerator.

**CAUTION:** To prevent burns and product damage, only connect the refrigerator water line to a cold water supply. Connect to a potable water supply only.
If you use your refrigerator before connecting the water line, make sure the Ice Maker button is set to OFF.
Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas where temperatures fall below freezing.

WATER PRESSURE
Connect to the cold water supply. The water pressure must be between 20 and 120 psi (138 to 827 kPa) on models without a water filter and between 40 and 120 psi (276 to 827 kPa) on models with a water filter.
If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to your cold water supply, this water line installation is not covered by the refrigerator warranty. Follow the following instructions carefully to minimize the risk of expensive waterdamage.
If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to your cold water supply, the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system needs to be a minimum of 40 to 60 psi (2.8 kgf/cm2 ~ 4.2 kgf/cm2, less than 2.0~3.0 sec. to fill a cup of 7 oz capacity).
If the water pressure from the reverse osmosis system is less than 21 psi or 1.5 kgf/cm2 (takes more than 4.0 sec to fill a cup of 7 oz capacity):

• Check to see if the sediment filter in the reverse osmosis system is blocked. Replace the filter if necessary.
• Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to refill after heavy usage.
• If the issue concerning water pressure from reverse osmosis remains, call a licensed, qualified plumber.
• All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements.

CAUTION: Wear eye protection during installation to prevent injury.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED

• Copper Tubing, ¼ in. outer diameter, to connect the refrigerator to the water supply. Be sure both ends of the tubing are cut square.
• To determine how much tubing you need: measure the distance from the water valve on the back of the refrigerator to the water supply pipe. Then, add 8 feet (2.4 m). Be sure there is suficient extra tubing (about 8 feet [2.4 m] coiled into 3 turns of about 10 in. [25 cm] diameter) to allow the refrigerator to move out from the wall after installation.
• Power drill.
• ½ in. or adjustable wrench.
• Flat blade and Phillips head screwdrivers.
• Two ¼ in. outer diameter compression nuts and 2 ferrules (sleeves) to connect the copper tubing to the shutoff valve and the refrigerator water valve.
• If your existing copper water line has a fiared fitting at the end, you will need an adapter (available at plumbing supply stores) to connect the water line to the refrigerator OR you can cut off the flared fitting with a tube cutter and then use a compression fitting.
• Shutoff valve to connect to the cold water line. The shutoff valve should have a water inlet with a minimum inside diameter of 5/32 in. at the point of connection to the COLD WATER LINE. Saddle-type shutoff valves are included in many water supply kits. Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve complies with your local plumbing codes. NOTE: A Self Piercing Saddle Type Water Valve should not be used.

WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
When using any electrical device (such as a power drill) during installation, be sure the device is battery powered, double insulated or grounded in a manner that will prevent the hazard of electric shock.

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 ¼ 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 ¼ in. hole may result in reduced ice production or smaller cubes. NOTE: The hookup line cannot be white, plastic tubing. Licensed plumbers must use only copper tubing NDA tubing #49595 or 49599 or Cross Link Polyethylene (PEX) tubing.

4. FASTEN THE SHUTOFF VALVE
   Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with the pipe clamp. NOTE: Commonwealth of Massachusetts Plumbing Codes 248CMR shall be adhered to. Saddle valves are illegal and use is not permitted in Massachusetts. Consult with your licensed plumber.

5. TIGHTEN THE PIPE CLAMP
   Tighten the clamp screws until the sealing washer begins to swell.
   NOTE: Do not overtighten clamp or you may crush the tubing.

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 suffcient 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. NOTE:
   Commonwealth of Massachusetts Plumbing Codes 248CMR shall be adhered to. Saddle valves are illegal and their use is not permitted in Massachusetts. Consult with your licensed plumber.
   IMPORTANT : Use only new water hose-sets, do not reuse old water hose -sets

8. FLUSH OUT THE TUBING
   Turn the main water supply on and flush out the tubing until the water is clear.
   Shut the water off 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.
   1. Remove the plastic flexible cap from the water valve.
   2. Place the compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) onto the end of the tubing as shown.
   3. Insert the end of the copper tubing into the connection as far as possible. While holding the tubing, tighten the fitting.

10. TURN THE WATER ON AT THE SHUTOFF VALVE
    Tighten any connections that leak. CAUTION: Check to see if leaks occur at the water line connections.

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 Ice Maker button to ON.
    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 Ice Maker button is set to ON.

Refrigerator was recently installed.| It may take up to 24 hours for each compartment to reach the desired temperature.
Refrigerator was recently relocated.| If the refrigerator was stored for a long period of time or moved on its side, it is necessary for the refrigerator to lay upright for 24 hours before connecting it to power.
Cooling System runs too much.| Refrigerator is replacing an older model.| Modern refrigerators require more operating time but use less energy due to more efficient technology.
Refrigerator was recently plugged in or power restored.| The refrigerator will take up to 24 hours to cool completely.
Door opened often or a large amount of food / hot food was added.| Adding food and opening the door warms the refrigerator, requiring the compressor to run longer in order to cool the refrigerator back down. In order to conserve energy, try to get everything you need out of the refrigerator at once, keep food organized so it is easy to find, and close the door as soon as the food is removed. (Refer to the Food Storage Guide.)
Doors are not closed completely.| Firmly push the doors shut. If they will not shut all the way, see the Doors will not close completely or pop open section in Parts & Features Troubleshooting.
Refrigerator is installed in a hot location.| The compressor will run longer under warm conditions. At normal room temperatures (70°F or 21°C) expect your compressor to run about 40% to 80% of the time. Under warmer conditions, expect it to run even more often. The refrigerator should not be operated above 110°F (43°C).
Condenser / back cover is clogged.| Use a vacuum cleaner with an attachment to clean the condenser cover and vents. Do not remove the panel covering the condenser coil area.

Diagnostics
Diagnostics (on some models)

Should you experience any problems with your refrigerator, it has the capability of transmitting data via your telephone to the Diagnostics Team.
This gives you the capability of speaking directly to our trained specialists. The specialist records the data transmitted from your machine and uses it to analyze the issue, providing a fast and effective diagnosis. If you experience problems with your refrigerator,  in the U.S.A. call 1-844-553-6667, and in Canada call 1-800- 469-4663. Only use the Diagnostics feature when instructed to do so by the Diagnostics Team.
The transmission sounds that you will hear are normal and sound similar to a fax machine.
Diagnostics cannot be activated unless your refrigerator is connected to power. If your refrigerator is unable to turn on, then troubleshooting must be done  without using Diagnostics.
Using Diagnostics
First, call in U.S.A 1-844-553-6667, and in Canada call 1-800-469-4663. If the number of the phone you are using is on file is associated with your refrigerator, you will be quickly relayed to a Diagnostics Team agent. Only use the Diagnostics feature when
instructed to do so by the Diagnostics Team agent.

1. Lock the display. To lock the display, press and hold the Control Lock button for three seconds. (If the display has been locked for over five minutes, you must deactivate the lock and then reactivate it.)

2. Open the right refrigerator door.

3. Held the mouthpiece of your phone in front of the speaker that is located on the right hinge of the refrigerator door, when instructed to do so by the call center.

4. Press and hold the Freezer Temp button for three seconds while continuing to hold your phone to the speaker.

5. After you hear three beeps, release the Freezer Temp button.

6. Keep the phone in place until the tone transmission has finished. The display will count down the time. Once the countdown is over and the tones have stopped, resume your conversation with the specialist, who will then be able to assist you in using the information transmitted for analysis.

NOTE:

• For best results, do not move the phone while the tones are being transmitted.
• If the call center agent is not able to get an accurate recording of the data, you may be asked to try again.
• Call quality differences by region may affect the Diagnostics function.
• For best results, use Diagnostics with a landline phone.
• Bad call quality may result in poor data transmission from your phone to the machine, which could cause Diagnostics to malfunction.
