20 INSTALLATION

ENGLISH

NOTE

A self piercing saddle type water valve

should not be used.

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.

If your existing copper water line has a

flared 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.

Water Line 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.

WARNING

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.

21INSTALLATION

Leveling and Door Alignment

Leveling

After installing, plug the refrigerator’s power

cord into a 3-prong grounded outlet and push

the refrigerator into the final position.

Your refrigerator has two front leveling legs—

one on the right and one on the left. Adjust the

legs to alter the tilt from front-to-back or side-

to-side. If your refrigerator seems unsteady, or

you want the doors to close more easily, adjust

the refrigerator’s tilt using the instructions

below:

1 Remove the base grille. Refer to the Base

Grille Installation section.

2 Turn the leveling leg to the left to raise

that side of the refrigerator or to the right

to lower it. It may take several turns of

the leveling leg to adjust the tilt of the

refrigerator.

3 Open both doors again and check to make

sure that they close easily. If the doors do

not close easily, tilt the refrigerator slightly

more to the rear by turning both leveling

legs to the left. It may take several more

turns, and you should turn both leveling

legs the same mount.

4 Replace the base grille.

NOTE

A flare nut wrench works best, but an

open-end wrench will suffice.

Do not over-tighten.

Door Alignment

Both the left and right refrigerator doors have

an adjustable nut, located on the bottom hinge,

to raise and lower them to align properly.

If the space between your doors is uneven,

follow the instructions below to align the doors

evenly:

Use the wrench (included with the Owner’s

Manual) to turn the nut in the door hinge to

adjust the height. To the right to raise or to the

left to lower the height.

29HOW TO USE

Automatic Icemaker

(continued)

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.

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 a qualified

service center.

CAUTION

When You Should Turn the

Icemaker Off

When the water supply will be shut off

for several hours.

When the ice bin is removed for more

than one or two minutes.

When the refrigerator will not be used

for several days.

Normal Sounds You May Hear

The icemaker water valve will buzz as

the icemaker fills with water. If the

power switch is in the ON (I) position,

it will buzz even if it has not yet been

hooked up to water. To stop the buzzing,

move the power switch to OFF (O).

You will hear the sound of cubes

dropping into the bin and water running

in the pipes as the icemaker refills.

Preparing For Vacation

Set the icemaker power switch to OFF (O) and

shut off the water supply to the refrigerator.

If the ambient temperature will drop below

freezing, have a qualified technician drain

the water supply system to prevent serious

property damage due to flooding caused by

ruptured water lines or connections.

NOTE

The ice bin should be emptied when the

icemaker on/off switch is turned to the

OFF position.

NOTE

Keeping the power switch in the ON

(I) position before the water line is

connected can damage the icemaker.

NOTE

The ice bin should be emptied anytime

Storing Food

Food Preservation Location

Each compartment inside the refrigerator is designed to store different types of food.

Store your food in the optimal space to enjoy the freshest taste.

Vegetable storage

(Crisper)

Preserves vegetables and

fruit.

Gallon Storage Bin

Store drinks such as

juice and soda, as well as

seasonings, salad dressings

and other food items.

Durabase®

Largest storage space in

the freezer.

Dairy product bin

Store milk products such as

butter and cheese.

Adjustable refrigerator shelf

Adjustable shelves to meet

your individual storage

needs.

Glide‘N’Serve

Provides storage space that

keeps the compartment

at a different temperature

than the refrigerator. It is a

convenient place to store

sandwiches or meat to be

cooked.

CAUTION

Do not store food with high moisture content towards the top of the refrigerator. The moisture

could come in direct contact with the cold air and freeze.

Wash food before storing it in the refrigerator. Vegetables and fruit should be washed, and food

packaging should be wiped down to prevent adjacent foods from being contaminated.

If the refrigerator is kept in a hot and humid place, frequent opening of the door or storing a lot of

vegetables in the refrigerator may cause condensation to form. Wipe off the condensation with a

clean cloth or a paper towel.

If the refrigerator door or freezer drawer is opened or closed too often, warm air may penetrate

the refrigerator and raise its temperature. It can also increase the cost of electricity.

NOTE

If you are leaving home for a short period of time, like a short vacation, the refrigerator should

be left on. Refrigerated foods that are able to be frozen will stay preserved longer if stored in the

freezer.

If you are leaving the refrigerator turned off for an extended period of time, remove all food and

unplug the power cord. Clean the interior, and leave the door open to prevent fungi from growing

in the refrigerator.

32 HOW TO USE

ENGLISH

Food Storage Tips

* The following tips may not be applicable

depending on the model.

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 date code to ensure freshness.

Food How to

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 are ready to use it.

Once opened, rewrap tightly in

plastic wrap or aluminum foil.

Milk Wipe milk 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 Do not wash or hull the fruit

until it is ready to be used. Sort

and keep fruit in its original

container, in a crisper, or store

in a completely 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 plastic

container and store in crisper.

Fish Store fresh fish and shellfish

in the freezer section if they

are not being consumed the

same day of purchase. It is

recommended to consume

fresh fish and shellfish the

same day purchased.

Leftovers

Cover leftovers with plastic

wrap, aluminum foil, or plastic

containers with tight lids.

Storing Frozen Food

Freezing

FreezingFreezing

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

Check a freezer guide or a reliable cookbook

for further information about preparing food

for freezing or food storage times.

NOTE

Allow hot foods to cool at room temperature

for 30 minutes, then package and freeze.

Cooling hot foods before freezing saves

energy.

33HOW TO USE

ENGLISH

Humidity Controlled Crisper

* Depending on the model, some of the

following functions may not be available.

The crispers provide fresher tasting fruit

and vegetables by letting you easily control

humidity inside the drawer.

You can control the amount of humidity in

the moisture-sealed crispers by adjusting the

control to any setting between

HIGH and LOW.

HIGH

y keeps moist air in the crisper for

best storage of fresh, leafy vegetables.

LOW

y lets moist air out of the crisper for

best storage of fruit.

Storing Frozen Food (continued)

Packaging

PackagingPackaging

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.

ENGLISH

Problem Possible Causes Solutions

Interior moisture

buildup.

Doors are opened often or for

long periods of time.

When the doors are opened often or for long

periods of time, warm, humid air enters the

compartment. This raises the temperature and

moisture level within the compartment. To

lessen the effect, reduce the frequency and

duration of door openings.

Doors not closed correctly. See the Doors will not close correctly section in

the Troubleshooting section.

Weather is humid. Humid weather allows additional moisture

to enter the compartments when the doors

are opened leading to condensation or frost.

Maintaining a reasonable level of humidity in the

home will help to control the amount of moisture

that can enter the compartments.

Defrost cycle recently

completed.

During the defrost cycle, the temperature

of each compartment may raise slightly and

condensation may form on the back wall.

Wait 30 minutes and confirm that the proper

temperature has been restored once the defrost

cycle has completed.

Food is not packaged correctly. Food stored uncovered or unwrapped, and damp

containers can lead to moisture accumulation

within each compartment. Wipe all containers

dry and store food in sealed packaging to prevent

condensation and frost.

Food is freezing

in the refrigerator

compartment.

Food with high water content

was placed near an air vent.

Rearrange items with high water content away

from air vents.

Refrigerator temperature control

is set incorrectly.

If the temperature is too cold, adjust the control

one increment at a time and wait for the

temperature to stabilize. Refer to the Setting the

Controls section for more information.

Refrigerator is installed in a cold

location.

When the refrigerator is operated in temperature

below 41°F (5°C), food can freeze in the refrigerator

compartment. The refrigerator should not be

operated in temperature below 55°F (13°C).

Frost or ice

crystals form

on frozen food

(outside of

package).

Door is opened frequently or for

long periods of time.

When the doors are opened often or for long

periods of time, warm, h umid air enters the

compartment. This raises the temperature and

moisture level within the compartment. Increased

moisture will lead to frost and condensation.

To lessen the effect, reduce the frequency and

duration of door openings.

Door is not closing properly. Refer to the Doors will not close correctly or pop

open section in the Troubleshooting section.

Refrigerator or

Freezer section is

too cold.

Incorrect temperature control

settings.

If the temperature is too cold, adjust the control

one increment at a time and wait for the

temperature to stabilize. Refer to the Setting the

44 TROUBLESHOOTING

ENGLISH

Frost or ice

crystals on frozen

food (inside of

sealed package).

Condensation from food with a

high water content has frozen

inside of the food package.

This is normal for food items with a high water

content.

Food has been left in the freezer

for a long period of time.

Do not store food items with high water content

in the freezer for a long period of time.

Icemaker is not

making enough

ice.

Demand exceeds ice storage

capacity.

The icemaker will produce approximately 70~210

cubes in a 24 hour period.

House water supply is not

connected, valve is not turned

on fully, or valve is clogged.

Connect the refrigerator to a cold water supply

with adequate pressure and turn the water

shutoff valve fully open.

If the problem persists, it may be necessary to

contact a plumber.

Water filter has been

exhausted.

It is recommended that you replace the water

filter:

Approximately every six months.•

When the water filter indicator turns on.•

When the water dispenser output decreases. •

When the ice cubes are smaller than normal.•

Low house water supply

pressure.

The water pressure must be between 20 and 120

psi (140 and 830 kPa) on models without a water

filter and between 40 and 120 psi (280 and

830kPa) on models with a water filter.

If the problem persists, it may be necessary to

contact a plumber.

Reverse Osmosis filtration

system is used.

Reverse osmosis filtration systems can reduce

the water pressure below the minimum amount

and result in icemaker issues.

(Refer to Water Pressure section.)

Tubing connecting refrigerator

to house supply valve is kinked.

The tubing can kink when the refrigerator is

moved during installation or cleaning resulting

in reduced water flow. Straighten or repair the

water supply line and arrange it to prevent future

kinks.
