FLOORING
For proper installation, this refrigerator must be
placed on a level surface of hard material that is
the same height as the rest of the flooring. This
surface should be strong enough to support a
fully loaded refrigerator, or approximately 1,500 Ibs.
(680kg).
NOTE: Protect the finish of the flooring. Cut a
large section of the cardboard carton and place
under the refrigerator where you are working.
GROUNDING THE REFRIGERATOR
IMPORTANT m Please read carefully.
FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE
MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED.
The power supply cord of this appliance is
equipped with a three-pin grounding plug which
mates with a standard three-pin grounding wall
receptacle to minimize the possibility of electric
shock hazard from this appliance.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a
qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is
properly grounded.
Where a standard 2-pin wall outlet is encountered,
it is your personal responsibility and obligation to
have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-pin
wall outlet.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY
CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT
OR REMOVE THE
THIRD (GROUNDING)
PIN FROM THE
POWER CORD.
DO NOT USE AN ADAPTER PLUG TO CONNECT
THE REFRIGERATOR TO A 2-PIN OUTLET.
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD WITH THIS
APPLIANCE.

CAUTION: MAKE SURE THE
WATER LINE IS CLEAR OF APPLIANCE
DOLLY TO AVOID DAMAGE.

2. CONNECT WATER DISPENSER LINE
A water dispenser is just one of the helpful features
on your new Kenmore Refrigerator. To help promote
better health, the Kenmore water filter removes
unwanted particles from your water. However,
it does not sterilize or destroy microorganisms.
You may need to purchase a water purifying
system to do that.
In order for the icemaker to operate properly, a
water pressure of 20-125 psi (pound per square
inch) is required.
Under normal conditions, a 6-ounce cup can be
filled in 10 seconds.
If the Refrigerator is installed in an area with low
water pressure (below 20 psi), install a booster
pump to compensate for the low pressure.
Make sure the water storage tank inside the
Refrigerator is properly filled. To do this, press the
water dispenser lever until the water runs from the
water outlet.
NOTE: Water line installation kits are available at
extra cost from Sears. We recommend using
awater supply kit that contains copper tubing.
Connecting to the water supply line:
1. First, shut off the main water supply line and turn
the icemaker off.
2. Locate the nearest cold drinking water line.
3. After connecting the water supply to the water
filter, turn your main water supply back on and
flush 4 or more gallons into a bucket to clear and
prime the water filter.
