Setup and Installation

Proper setup is crucial for the optimal performance and longevity of your Kenmore refrigerator. Please follow these guidelines carefully.

1. Unpacking and Placement

• Remove all packaging materials, including tape and protective films.
• Ensure the refrigerator is placed on a level, stable surface.
• Allow adequate clearance around the appliance for proper ventilation.

2. Space and Hook-up Requirements

Before installation, verify that your intended space meets the necessary dimensions and electrical requirements.

This diagram illustrates key considerations for refrigerator placement, including measuring the space to ensure proper fit and verifying electrical and water hook-ups.

• Measure Space: Ensure the refrigerator fits in the intended space and through all doorways, hallways, and stairways in the delivery path. Account for appliance molding and legs.
• Check Hook-ups: A standard 110-volt, 3-prong grounded electrical outlet must be within reach of the power cord. For models with ice and water dispensing, ensure a water shut-off valve is within 6 feet and is corrosion-free.

2. Dual Ice Makers

The refrigerator features dual ice makers, one in the refrigerator compartment and one in the freezer, ensuring a continuous supply of ice for various needs.

3. Dual Evaporator Design

To maintain optimal freshness, the refrigerator utilizes a Dual Evaporator design. This system creates separate cooling climates for the freezer and refrigerator sections:

• The freezer maintains a dryer climate to prevent freezer burn.
• The refrigerator maintains a more humid climate to keep fresh foods crisp.

Maintenance and Care

Regular maintenance helps ensure the efficiency and appearance of your refrigerator.

1. Cleaning the Exterior

The Active Finish exterior is designed to be fingerprint smudge resistant and easy to clean.

• Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent.
• Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
• For best results on stainless steel, wipe in the direction of the grain.

2. Cleaning the Interior

• Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning.
• Remove shelves, drawers, and bins and wash them with warm, soapy water.
• Wipe down interior surfaces with a solution of baking soda and water (about 2 tablespoons baking soda to 1 quart water) to neutralize odors.
• Rinse and dry all parts thoroughly before returning them to the refrigerator.

3. Defrosting

This model features manual defrost for the freezer compartment. Refer to the specifications for details.

• When ice buildup becomes excessive (approximately 1/4 inch or more), manually defrost the freezer.
• Remove all food items and unplug the unit.
• Allow ice to melt naturally or use a bowl of hot water to speed up the process. Do not use sharp objects to chip away ice.
• Clean and dry the interior before plugging the unit back in and returning food.

Troubleshooting

Before calling for service, review these common issues and their potential solutions.

1. Refrigerator Not Cooling

• Check Power: Ensure the refrigerator is plugged in securely and the circuit breaker has not tripped.
• Temperature Settings: Verify that the temperature controls are set correctly.
• Door Seal: Check if the doors are closing completely and the seals are intact.
• Ventilation: Ensure there is adequate space around the refrigerator for air circulation.

2. Ice Maker / Water Dispenser Issues

• Water Supply: Confirm the water supply line is connected and the shut-off valve is open.
• Water Filter: Check if the water filter needs replacement. A clogged filter can restrict water flow.
• Ice Maker Arm: Ensure the ice maker's shut-off arm is in the down position.

3. Unusual Noises

• Leveling: Ensure the refrigerator is level to prevent rattling or vibrating noises.
• Normal Operating Sounds: Modern refrigerators can produce various sounds (e.g., hums, clicks, gurgles) as they operate, which are typically normal.
