Refrigerator Use - Sears Kenmore ELITE 106 Manual De Uso Y Cuidado

REFRIGERATOR USE
In order to ensure proper temperatures, you need to permit
airflow between the refrigerator and freezer sections. As shown in
the illustration, cool air enters through the bottom of the freezer
section and moves up. Most of the air then flows through the
freezer section vents and recireulates under the freezer floor. The
rest of the air enters the refrigerator section through the top vent.
Do not block any of these vents with food packages. If the vents
are blocked, airflow will be prevented and temperature and
moisture problems may occur.
IMPORTANT: Because air circulates between both sections, any
odors formed in one section will transfer to the other. You must
thoroughly clean both sections to eliminate odors. To prevent
odor transfer and drying out of food, wrap or cover foods tightly.
Adjusting Controls
The mid-setting indicated in the previous section should be
correct for normal household usage. The controls are set
correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice
cream is firm.
If the temperature is too warm or too cold in the refrigerator or
freezer, first check the air vents to be sure they are not blocked.
If you need to adjust temperatures, use the settings listed in the
chart below as a guide. On models with two controls, adjust the
refrigerator temperature first. Wait at least 24 hours between
adjustments and then recheck the temperatures.

For your convenience, your refrigerator controls are preset at the
factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure that the
controls are still preset to the mid-setting as shown.
NOTE: To turn your refrigerator off, turn the refrigerator control to
the word OFF or until the word OFF appears. Your product will
not cool when the refrigerator control is set to OFR
Mid-setting "3"
IMPORTANT:
• Give your refrigerator time to cool down completely before
adding food. It is best to wait 24 hours before you put food
into the refrigerator.
If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely,
your food may spoil. Adjusting the Refrigerator and Freezer
Controls to a higher (colder) than recommended setting will
not cool the compartments any faster.
Cut Hazard
Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice or water.
Failure to do so can result in cuts.
If you did not flush the water system when the refrigerator was
first installed, dispense water into a container until you draw and
discard 2 to 3 gal. (8 to 12 L) or for approximately 6 to 7 minutes
after the water begins dispensing. The water you draw and
discard rinses the pipes. Allow several hours for the refrigerator
to cool down and chill water.
Dispensing Water
There are 2 water dispenser buttons as shown for use with
different sizes of containers.
1. Press a glass against the back button or hold a container
under the dispenser while pressing the front button.
