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
control if necessary. Setting the Cold Control to
MIN, is the warmest setting; MAX is the coldest.
The MAX setting mayreduce the temperature
to below freezing, but it will not cool the
refrigerator faster.
The fresh food section should be as cold as
possible without freezing vegetables or milk.
Adjust as necessary.
2. Defrost:
DefrOst when !/4 inch frost forms. Set the
temperature control dial to OFF for defrosting.
Remove food. Do not touch freezing plate with
bare hands. Do not use electric defrost devices
or hair dryers to melt frost. They may damage
plastic parts.
When defrosting is completed, wipe the
freezing plate dry and reset the control dial.
Return food to the refrigerator.
3. For all cleaning:
Mix 2 tablespoons baking soda with 1 quart
warm water or use a mild soap. Do not use
strong cleaners, scouring powder or pads. For
persistent odors, contact Sears Service Center
for odor removal products. Do not put the drip
tray in the dishwasher. Vacuum the condenser
tubing on the back of the refrigerator when
dusty.
6. Reduce the number and length of time you
open the door. Your cooling system will not
have to run as often.
7. Keep your refrigerator level, so that the door
seals tightly. When the door is closed, the door
gaskets should touch the refrigerator all the
way around. If net, make your refrigerator level
by use of the adjustable leg located under the
unit.
8. Keep your refrigerator away from stoves or
other heat sources. A cool and dry place allows
your refrigerator to operate more efficiently.
Before Calling for Service

Test the outlet with a lamp.
Be sure the control is not set to OFF.

the Use and Care Information. You may find the
answer to your questions.
If you do not find the answer to your questions
in this manual, find the unit model number (on
the upper back of the refrigerator) and contact
your Sears Service Center.
When requesting service or ordering parts, always

Energy Saving tips
1. Close the door as soon as you can after
opening it to remove food. Make sure the door
is fully shut after each use so that cold air does
not escape from the refrigerator cavity.
2. Keep the condenser coils clean. The motor
must work harder when the coils are dusty.
Clean the coils at least once every 3 months.
They are located on the back of the unit.
3. Adjust the Cold Control. Try a warmer setting.
Your refrigerator may be colder than necessary.
Use the condition of milk to check refrigerator
temperature. As long as milk keeps without .
spoiling your refrigerator is cold enough.
4. Do Not place hot food in the refrigerator.
5. Do Not allow more than 1/4 inch of frost to build
up in the freezer compartment.
