• Service Warranty and Modification
Any changes or modifications performed by a third party
on this finished appliance are not covered under Sears
warranty service, nor can Sears be responsible for
safety issues that result from third-party modifications.
This appliance is not intended for use by small children
or infirm persons without capable, adult supervision.
Small children should be supervised when using the
appliance.
DO NOT block air holes in the refrigerator. If the air
holes are blocked, especially with a plastic bag, the
refrigerator can become overcooled. Prolonged periods
of overcooling will break the water filter and cause water
leakage.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system that used
CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons). CFCs are believed to harm
stratospheric ozone.
If you are throwing away your old refrigerator, make sure
the CFC refrigerant is removed for proper disposal by a
qualified servicer. If you intentionally release the CFC
refrigerant, you can be subject to fines and imprisonment
under provisions of environmental legislation.
IMPORTANT:
Please read carefully.

RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD
The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own
individual properly grounded electrical outlet rated for
115 volts, 60 Hz, AC only and fused at 15 or 20 amperes.
This provides the best performance and also prevents
overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a fire
hazard from overheated wires. It is recommended that a
separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided.
Use a receptacle which cannot be turned off with a switch
or pull chain. Do not use an extension cord.
Where a standard two-prong wall outlet is encountered,
it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it
replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall outlet.
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the
third (ground) prong from the power cord.
USE OF EXTENSION CORDS
Because of potential safety hazards under certain
conditions, we strongly recommend against the use
of an extension cord. However, if you still elect to use
an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be
a UL-listed, 3-wire grounding-type appliance extension
cord having a grounding-type plug and outlet and an
electrical rating of the cord of 15 amperes (minimum)
and 120 volts.
Use of an extension cord will increase the clearance
needed for the back of the refrigerator.
