HINGE LOCATION OF
A REVERSIBLE DOOR
Refer to the disassembly diagram and
change the door hinges in the following
procedure.
1. Tilt the refrigerator back or lay it on its back.
Use a pad or blanket to protect the floor and
to avoid scratching the painted finish.
2. Remove the leveling legs by turning them
counterclockwise. Remove the lower
hexagonal head screws, two on the hinge
side and one near the front corner of the
other side.
3. Pull the door away from the top table
assembly and set the door aside.
4. With a Philips plusscrew driver, unscrew the
shaft hinge top and transfer to tile opposite
side.
5. Insert the door back to the shaft hinge top
which was screwed untothe opposite side.
6. Remove the refrigerator door hinge stopper
and the hinge stopper screws and install
them on the other side of the door.
7. Screw the bottom hinge in place ensuring
the door is properly secured.
8. Screw the remaining leg to the otl-,er side.
.The direction in which the door opens has
now been changed; however, the following
points should be checked:
a. Make sure the door is on straight.
b. Make sure that there is no space
between the door gasket and the
refrigerator unit itself when the door is
closed.
C. Make sure that the gasket on the hinge
side is not caught between the door
and the unit when the door is opened
or closed. (If the door isforced closed
when the gasket is caught, the gasket
may be damaged.)
When checking the above points, if it is
discovered that the door is not installed
properly (this is apt to happen at the first
try), loosen the screws holding the upper
hinge, straighten the door and tighten the
screws slowly with the socket wrench. After
making sure that the door is installed
correctly, tighten all the screws holding the
hinge.
If they are not tightened, the door may slip
out of position or there may be an opening
between the door and the unit.

Use and Care Information
Tips on everyday care and use
1. To control the temperature:
First, set the cold control on "3".
Wait 24 hours for the entire cabinet
to cool. Then adjust the conVol if
necessary. Setting the cold control
to min. is the warmest setting;
maximum is the coldest. The Max
se_ng may reduce the temperature
to below freezing, but it will not cool
the refrigerator taster.
2. Defrost
As long as the Temperature Control
is set at normal position, evaporator
is automatically defrosted and no
manual operation is needed to
defTosL
3. For all cleaning:
Mix 2 tablespoons baking soda with
1 quart warm water or use a mild
soap. Do not use strong _ners,
scouring powder or pads. For
persistent odors, contact Sears
Service Center for odor removal
products. Do not put the drip tray in
the dishwasher.
4. Cleaning the evaporation tray:
Since the dust accumulated on the
evaporation tray will decrease the
evaporation efficiency, remove the
tray to clean.
• The evaporation bay is set on the
beck of the refrigerator. This can be
removed by pulling it out from the
back of the unit.
Energy Saving tips
1. Close the door as soon as you can
after opening it to remove the food.
Make sure that the door is fully shut
after each use so that cold air
doesn't escape from the refrigerator
cavity.
2. Adjust the Cold Control. l"ry a
warmer setting. Your refrigerator
may be colder than necessary. Use
the condition of the milk to check
the refrigerator temperature. As
long as milk keeps without spoiling
your refrigerator is cold enough.
3. Do not place hot foods in the
refrigerator.
4. Reduce the number and length of
time you open the door. Your
cooling system won't have to run as
often.
S. Keep your refrigerator level, so that
the door seals tightly. When the
door is closed, the door gaskets
should touch the reffigeratbr all the
way around.
6. If not, make the refrigerator level by
use of the adjustable leg located
under the uniL
7. Keep the refrigerator away from
stoves or other heat sources. A cool
and dry place allows your
refi'igerator to operate more
efficiently.
Before calling for service
•Check the plug and fuse.
• Test the outlet with a lamp

OFF
•Read the manual, especially the
items under Use and Care
Information. You may find the
