First Steps - Sears Kenmore 253.6152 Serie Manual De Uso Y Cuidado

First Steps

This Use & Care Guide provides specific
operating instructions for your model. Use
the unit only as instructed in this Use &
Care Guide. Before starting the appliance,
follow these important first steps.
Installation
• Choose a place that is near a grounded
electrical outlet. Do Not use an
extension cord or an adapter plug.
• If possible, place the refrigerator out
of direct sunlight and away from the
range, dishwasher or other heat sources.
• The refrigerator must be installed on a
floor that is level and strong enough to
support a fully loaded refrigerator.
• Consider water supply availability for
models equipped with an automatic ice
maker.
CAUTION
Do Not install the refrigerator where the
temperature will drop below 55°F (13°C) or
rise above 110°F (43°C). The compressor
will not be able to maintain proper
temperatures inside the refrigerator.
Do Not block the toe grille on the lower
front of your refrigerator. Sufficient air
circulation is essential for the proper
operation of your refrigerator.
IMPORTANT
If you install your refrigerator in a
garage or other unheated area, you
may experience freezer temperature
problems during the winter months
when temperatures dip below 55°F.
Upgrading your refrigerator with a
Garage Kit will lower the minimum
operating temperature of your unit to
34°F. This kit can be ordered through
Sears stores or Sears Parts & Repair at
an additional cost.
Installation Clearances
Allow the following clearances for ease
of installation, proper air circulation, and
plumbing and electrical connections:
Sides & Top
Back
Preferred Operating Temperature
The preferred operating room temperature
range for optimal performance is 70
80 o F.
NOTE
If you see black coils/tubing on the
back of your refrigerator (air-cooled
condenser) leave 3" clearance at top of
refrigerator.
Door Opening
Your refrigerator should be positioned
to allow easy access to a counter when
removing food. To make this possible, the
direction in which the doors open can be
reversed. See Door Removal & Reversal
Instructions.
NOTE
If your refrigerator is placed with the
door hinge side against a wall, you may
have to allow additional space so the
door can be opened wider.
