These instructions were provided to aid you in the installation of your unit. Sears cannot be responsible for improper
installation.
Follow these tips when moving the unit to final location:
NEVER transport unit on its side. If an upright position is not possible, lay unit on its
back. Allow unit to sit upright for approximately 30 minutes prior to plugging unit in
to assure oil return to the compressor. Plugging unit in immediately may cause
damage to internal parts.
Use an appliance dolly when moving unit. ALWAYS truck unit from its sideNEVER
from its front or back.
Protect outside finish of unit during transport by wrapping cabinet in blankets or
inserting padding between the unit and dolly.
Secure unit to dolly firmly with straps.
Thread straps through handles when
possible. DO NOT overtighten. Overtightening restraints may
dent or damage outside finish.
Observe these points when choosing the final location for your unit:
DO NOT install refrigerator near oven, radiator, or other heat source. If not possible,
shield unit with cabinet material.
DO NOT install where temperature falls below 55°F (13°C). Malfunction may occur
at this temperature.
Make sure floor is level. If floor is not level, shim rear wheels of unit with a piece of
plywood or other shim material.
To assure proper door closure, verify that the unit is leveled with a ¼" tilt to the back.
How to Transport Your Unit
How to Select the Best Location
A ½" of air space should be
provided for the top and back of the
unit to allow for proper air
circulation. When installing your
unit, measure carefully.
Subflooring or floor coverings (i.e.
carpet, tile, wood floors, rugs) may
make your opening smaller than
anticipated.
Some clearance may be gained by
using the leveling procedure under
"How to Level Your Refrigerator".

If unit is to be installed

clearance.
