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.
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.
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.
