"How To Set Temperature"

Before you move your Kenmore to a new location

Remove all food (pack dry ice around any food you're

keeping). Unplug the refrigerator and tape the power cord securely to the back.

Take out all removable shelves and storage drawers. Pack carefully. Clean and dry your refrigerator thoroughly. Tape all doors, drawers and shelves that you didn't remove.

Move your refrigerator in an upright position. Never on its back or side.

Wrap allfood unless you're putting it in the storage drawers.

Bread: Refrigeration slows molding. But bread still gets stale with time, so use within 3 days.

Dairy products: Keep cartons closed. Use milk,

cream or cottage cheese within 5 days. Wrap

cheese tightly with foil or plastic wrap. Hard cheese (cheddar, etc.) will keep as long as a month. Soft cheeses will keep up to 2 weeks. Wrapped butter keeps about 2 weeks,

Eggs: Store unwashed. Use within 2 weeks.

Fish: Clean. Wrap tightly, Freeze unless you use it the same day you buy it,

Fruits: Wash, dry and store in crisper. Store fruits with strong aromas (apples, melons)in plastic bags, Berries keep up to 3 days, if stored unwashed, in a shallow, open bowl,

Leftovers: Let cool before storing. Wrap well. Use within 2 days (or freeze).

Meat: Wrap fresh meats loosely (and seal). Wrap smoked meats tightly. Use foil or plastic wrap. Store in meat drawer or on lower shelf. For best results,

use within recommended times.

For the Freezer Section

Ways to save power.

Save money. And still enjoy your Kenmore.

1.Close the door as soon as you can. Make sure the door is fully shut after each use so cold air doesn't escape.

2, Keep the condenser coils clean. Your Kenmore's motor works harder when colts are dusty. Clean the coils at least every 3 months. They are on the back of your refrigerator. Allow three inches air space above your Kenmore. So air circulates freely.

3. Adjust cold control, Try a warmer setting, Your refrigerator

change, if needed.

In the summer, or when the refrigerator door is opened often, you may need to turn the control in the refrigerator toward MAX so more cold air will enter the refrigerator section.

DON'T TURN THE REFRIGERATOR TEMPERATURE CONTROL OFF UNLESS both freezer and refrigerator sections are completely empty. The control will shut off refrigeration in both sections.

For future use, please record the model purchased your Kenmore refrigerator in small label on the back of the refdgerator.
