ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of
electrical shock by providing an escape wire for the electrical current.
This appliance is equipped with a cord having a
grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must
be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed
and grounded.
IMPORTANT WARNING
An empty refrigerator can pose a threat to children.
To render the unit harmless we strongly recommend
removing the door prior to disposal.
WARNING - Improper use of the grounding plug can
result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified
electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions
are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to
whether the appliance is properly grounded.
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD
Use an exclusive wall outlet. Do not connect your
refrigerator to extension cords or together with any
other appliance in the same wall outlet.
DANGER: Risk of child entrapment! 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.
DON'T WAIT! DO IT NOW!
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
Remove exterior and interior packings, wipe the
outside thoroughly with a soft dry cloth and the inside
with a wet, lukewarm cloth. Avoid placing the unit in
a narrow recess or near any heat source, direct
sunlight, or moisture. Let air circulate freely around
the unit. Keep the rear of the refrigerator 5inches
away from the wall.
LOCATION
1) Select a place with a strong, level floor.
2) Allow 5inches of space between the back of the
refrigerator and any adjacent wall.
3) Avoid direct sunlight and heat. Direct sunlight
may affect the acrylic coating. Heat sources
nearby will cause higher electricity consumption.
To avoid vibration, the unit must be set level. This is
accomplished by adjusting the front leveling leg,
located under the refrigerator.
NOTES:
• This appliance is intended for FREE-STANDING
INSTALLATION ONLY, and is NOT intended to be
built-in.
• Before connecting this appliance to electrical power
supply, leave it to stand for approx. 24 hours, which
will reduce the possibility of malfunction in the
cooling system due to transport handling.
• This appliance is approved for INDOOR USE
ONLY and is NOT intended for outdoor operation.
IMPORTANT: Install this appliance in an area where
the ambient temperature is between 55°F (13°C) and

ELECTRONIC CONTROL OPERATION:
1) Temperature Increase
2) Temperature Decrease
3) LED Display
4) Fahrenheit/Celsius Selector
5) Fahrenheit/Celsius Mode Indicators
The electronic LED display on this refrigerator is
programmed to display (independently)the following
temperature (only) information:
INTERNAL CABINET TEMPERATURE: This setting is
represented by a steady (non-flashing) LEDdisplay
and is the normal (LED) default setting during
operation.
SET OPERATING TEMPERATURE: This setting is
represented by a flashing LED display and can only
be programmed(SET) by pressing and releasing
either of the J, T temperature keys during operation.
Note: The set temperature can only be adjusted/set
while the LED is in "flashing" mode.
DEFAULT SETTINGS: When the unit is first connected
to the power supply (and/or in the event of a power
failure) temperature settings automatically revert to
the following default settings:
The LEDdefault setting for the internal temperature is
the ambient (room) temperature measured at the time
the unit isconnected or power is restored.
The LEDdefault setting for the set operating
temperature is 41 °F/5°C - we recommend you set the
temperature to 37°F/2.8°C to start, then adjust if
needed. Note: After a power failure has occured, the
previously set temperature is automatically erased
and will have to be re-set).
The LEDdefault setting for temperature selection
(°F/°C) is °F (Farenheit Scale).
SETTING OPERATING TEMPERATURE:
To set/change the operating temperature:
1) Press and release either of the A T (temperature)
keys.
The LED display will temporarily revert to the
(flashing) set temperature for approximately 5
seconds (if you fail to set/change the operating
temperature within this 5second period, the LEDwill
automatically revert back and display the internal
temperature.
2) Each depression of the A key (during flashing
mode) will increase the temperature incrementally
by 1 (temperature ranges between 36°F - 46°F
(2°C _ 8°C)
:3)Each depression of the _ key (during flashing
mode) will decrease the temperature incrementally
by 1 ; temperature will display for approximately
5seconds after the selection is made, then revert
back to display the current internal temperature.
TEMPERATURE SELECTION (°F/°C): This unit can
display temperatures in the "Fahrenheit" or "Celsius"
scales. Press the temperature selector keypad to
alternate between °F/°C scale. The blue indicator
light adjacent to the corresponding mode (the mode
indicator light) will illuminate to signify the selection
made.
DEFROSTING: Your refrigerator is designed with an
"Auto-Cycle" defrost. What is Auto-Cycle Defrost?
The refrigerated surfaces of the fresh food
compartment defrost automatically during the "off"
cycle of the thermostat. Defrost water from the fresh
food compartment is disposed of automatically by
means of being channeled onto a drip tray located on
the compressor. Heat transfer from the compressor
causes the defrost water to evaporate.
To turn "off" the refrigerator permanently, you must
disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet.
There is no "off" position (setting) available on the
electronic control panel.
NOTE: Wait 3 to 5minutes before restarting if
operation has been interrupted (i.e. due to power
failure).

CLEANING
To clean the inside, use a soft cloth and a mixture of
one tablespoon of baking soda to one quart of water.
Other cleaning solutions options are a mild soap suds
solution, or mild detergent. Wash glass shelves in a
mild detergent solution, then dry and wipe with a soft
cloth. Clean the outside with a soft damp cloth and
some mild detergent or appliance cleaner.
VACATION TIME
For short vacation periods, leave the control knob at
its normal setting. During longer absences;
(a) remove all foods,
(b) disconnect power cord from electrical outlet,
(c) leave door open to avoid possible formations of
condensation, mold or odors.
POWER FAILURE
Most power failures are corrected within an hour or
two and will not affect your refrigerator temperatures.
However, you should minimize the number of door
openings while the power is off. During power
failures of longer duration, take steps to protect your
food by placing dry ice on top of packages.
SOME IMPORTANT RULES FOR THE CORRECT USE
OF THE REFRIGERATOR
•Never place hot foods in the refrigerator.
• Never place spoiled foods in the refrigerator.
• Don't overload the refrigerator.
• Don't open the door unless necessary.
Should the refrigerator be stored without use for
long periods, it is suggested, after a careful
cleaning, to leave the door ajar to allow the air to
circulate inside the unit in order to avoid possible
formations of condensation, mold or odors.
Occasionally, a minor problem may arrise, and a service call may not be necessary- use this troubleshooting
guide for a possible solution. If the unit continues to operate improperly, call Sears at 1-800-4MY-HOME.
