In order to obtain the best possible results from your refrigerator, it is important that you operate it properly. This section will tell you how to do just that.

Setting the temperature control

The Temperature Control is in the refrigerator. It controls the temperature in both the refrigerator and freezer compartments. When the refrigerator is plugged in for the first time:

1. Set the Temperature Control to 3 (normal).

Temperature Control adjustments range from

1 (wannest) to 5 (coldest).

NOTE: Turning the Temperature Control to

OFF stops cooling in both the refrigerator and freezer compattments, but it does not discon- nect the refrigerator from the power supply.

2. Give the refrigerator time to cool down completely before adding food. This could take several hours.

3. Adjust the Temperature Control to have food as cold as you like. The settings indicated above should be correct for normal, household refrigerator usage.

NOTE: The built-in exterior moisture control continuously guards against moisture build-up on the outside of the refrigerator cabinet and mullion area.

7

Adjusting the refrigerator shelves

The refrigerator shelves can be adjusted to match the way you use your refrigerator.

To remove the shelves:

1. Remove items from the shelf.

2. Slide shelf straight out to the stop.

3. Lift back of shelf over stop.

4. Slide shelf out the rest of the way.

To replete the shelves:

1. Slide back of shelf into shelf track in wall of cabinet.

2. Guide front of shelf into shetf track.

3. Slide shelf in all the way.

Removing the crisper(s) and cover

To remove the crisper(s):

1. Slide crisper(s) straight out to the stop.

2. Lift the front.

3. Slide out the rest of the way.

4. Replace in reverse order.

Using the ice cube trays (TTIICK)

lf cubes are not used, they may shrink. The moving cold air starts a slow evaporation. The longer cubes are stored, the smaller they get.

To remove ice:

1. Hold tray at both ends.

2. Twist slightly.

Using the optional automatic ice maker

lf you plan to add an automatic ice maker later

(Part No. ECKMF-90) there are a few things you will want to know: l

The aluminum water inlet tube, supplied with your refrigerator, is found in the rear, bottom of the refrigerator on the compressor support plate.

This tube should be used instead of the tube provided in the accessory kit.

. The ON/OFF lever is a wire signal arm.

Rain signal arm to

8top ice.

Down . . . to make ice automatically. up . . . to shut off the ice maker.

. . .

NOTE: Do not turn

LOWW signal arm to dart it to the of the l l l l l

The dial or lever on the side of the ice maker changes the size of the cubes.

Shake the bin occasionally to keep cubes separated and to obtain increased storage capacity.

It is normal for ice crescents to be attached by a comer. They will break apart easily.

You will hear water running when ice maker is working. You’ll hear ice fall into the bin. Don’t let these sounds bother you.

The ice maker will not operate until the freezer is cold enough to make ice. This can take overnight. l l

Because of new plumbing connections, the first ice may be discolored or off -flavored. Discard the first few batches of ice. lf you remove the ice bin, raise the signal arm to shut off the ice maker. When you return the bin, push it in all the way and lower the signal arm to the ON position.

. If cubes are stored too long, they may develop an off-flavor . . . like stale water. Throw them away. Ice maker will make new ice. Cubes in the ice bin can also become smaller by evaporation.

9

l

Good water quality is important for good ice quality. It is not recommended that the ice maker be connected to a softened water supply. Water softener chemicals, such as salt from a matfunctioning softener, can damage the ice maker mold and lead to poor ice quality. lf a softened water supply cannot be avoided, it is important that the water softener be well maintained and operating properly.

Changing the light bulb

Electrical Shock Hazard

Before removing a light bulb, either unplug the refrigerator or disconnect the electricity leading to the refrigerator at the main power supply. Turning the Temperature

Control to the OFF position does not disconnect the refrigerator from the power supply.

Failure to do so could result in electrical shock or personal injury.

To change the refrigerator light:

1. Disconnect refrigerator from power supply.

2. Reach behind the Control Panel to remove bulb.

3. Replace with a 40-watt appliance bulb.

4. Reconnect refrigerator to power supply.

NOTE: Not all commercial appliance bulbs will fit your refrigerator. Be sure to replace a bulb with one of the same size, wattage and shape.

Reversing the door swing

You can change the hinges on your refrigerator so the doors open the other way. Refer to the instruction sheet included with your refrigerator.

10

Saving energy

l l l

You can help your refrigerator use less electricity.

Check door gaskets for a tight seal. Level the cabinet to be sure of a good seal.

Clean the condenser coils regularly.

Cpen the door as few times as possible. Think about what you need before you open the door.

Get everything out at one time. Keep food organized so you won’t have to search for what you want. Close door as soon as food is removed. l l l

Go ahead and fill up the refrigerator, but don’t overcrowd it so air movement is blocked. lt is a waste of electricity to set the refrigerator temperature colder than it needs to be. lf ice cream is firm in the freezer and drinks are as cold as your family likes them, that’s cold enough.

Make sure your refrigerator is not next to a heat source such as a range, water heater, furnace, radiator or in direct sunlight.

Understanding the sounds you may hear

Your new refrigerator may make sounds that your old one didn’t. Because the sounds are new to you, you might be concerned about them. Don’t be. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard surfaces like the floor, walls and cabinets can make the sounds seem louder.

The following describes the kinds of sounds that might be new to you, and what may be making them.

Water sounds

When the refrigerator stops running, you may hear gurgling in the tubing for a few minutes after it stops. You may also hear defrost water running into the defrost water pan and sizzle during defrost cycles.

Ice maker sounds

trickling water

Slight hum, soft hiss

l thud (clatter of ice) l

You may hear the refrigerator’s fan motor and moving air.

Clicking or snapping sounds

lf your refrigerator has an ice maker, you may hear buzzing (from the water valve), trickling water and the clatter of ice dumped into the bin.

The thermostat makes a definite click when the refrigerator stops running. lt also makes a sound when the refrigerator starts. The defrost timer will click when the defrost cycle starts.

Vacation and moving care

Long vacations

Remove all the food if you are going for a month or more. ff your refrigerator is equipped with an automatic ice maker, turn off the water supply to the ice maker at least one day ahead. When the last load of ice drops, turn off the ice maker.

Make sure all ice is dispensed out of mechanism.

Unplug the refrigerator. Clean, rinse it well and dry. Tape rubber or wood blocks to the tops of both doors to prop them open far enough for air to get in. This will keep odor and mold from building up.

Personal Injury Hazard

Do not allow children to climb on, play near or climb inside the refrigerator when the doors are blocked open.

They may become injured or trapped.

To restart refrigerator, see “Using Your Refrigera- tor” on page 7.

Short vacations

No need to shut off the refrigerator if you will be away for less than four weeks. Use up perish- ables; freeze other items. If you have an auto- matic ice maker:

1. Turn off your ice maker by raising signal arm.

2. Shut off the water supply to the ice maker.

3. Empty the ice bin.

Moving

lf your refrigerator is equipped with an automatic ice maker, shut off the ice maker water supply at least a day ahead. Disconnect the water line.

After the last load of ice drops, lift the signal arm to turn off the ice maker.

Remove all food. Pack frozen food in dry ice.

Unplug the refrigerator and clean it thoroughly.

Take out all removable parts. Wrap all parts well and tape them together so they don’t shift and rattle. Tape the doors shut; and tape the electric cord to the cabinet.

When you get to your new home, put every- thing back and refer to page 5. Also, if you have an automatic ice maker, remember to reconnect the water supply line.

13

Power interruptions

lf electricity goes off, call the power company.

Ask how long power will be off.

1. lf se&e is to be interrupted 24 hours or less, keep both doors closed. This will help foods stay frozen.

2. lf service is to be interrupted longer than

24 hours:

(a) Remove all frozen food and store in a frozen food locker.

OR

(b) Place 7% Ibs. (3.4 kg) of dry ice in freezer.

This will keep food frozen for 2 to 4 days.

Wear gloves to protect your hands from dry ice burns.

OR

(c) If neither a food locker or dry ice is avail- able, use or can perishable food at once.

3. A full freezer will stay cold longer than a partly filled one. A freezer full of meat will stay cold longer than a freezer full of baked goods. lf food contains ice crystals, it may be safely refrozen, although the quality and flavor may be affected. If the condition of the food is poor or if you feel it is unsafe, dispose of it.

There is a correct way to package and store refrigerated or frozen food. To keep food fresher, longer, take the time to study these recommended steps.

I

Storing fresh food

Food placed in the refrigerator should be wrapped or stored in air and moisture proof material. This prevents food odor and taste transfer throughout the refrigerator. For dated products, check code date to ensure freshness.

Leafy vegetables

Remove store wrapping and trim or tear off bruised and discolored areas. Wash in cold water and drain. Place in plastic bag or plastic con- tainer and store in crisper.

Vegetables with skins

(carrots, peppers)

Store in crisper, plastic bags or plastic container.

Fruit

Wash, let dry and store in refrigerator in plastic bags or crisper. Do not wash or hull berries until they are ready to use. Sort and keep berries in their store container in a crisper, or store in a loosely closed paper bag on a refrigerator shelf. mJs

Store without washing in the original carton on interior shelf.

Milk

Wipe milk cartons. For best storage, place milk on interior shelf.

14

Butter or margarine

Keep opened butter in covered dish or closed cornpattment. When storing an extra supply, wrap in freezer packaging and freeze.

Cheese

Store in the original wrapping until you are ready to uss ft. Once opened, rewrap tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil.

Leftovers

Cover leftovers with plastic wrap or aluminum foil.

Plastic containers with tight lids can also be used.

Meet

Most meat can be stored in original wrapping as long as it is air and moisture proof. Rewrap if necessary. See the following chart for storage times.

l

lf meat is to be stored longer than the times given, follow the directions for freezing.

NOTE: Fresh fish and shellfish should be used the same day as purchased.

Storing frozen food

The freezer section is designed for storage of commercially frozen food and for freezing food al home. For turther information about preparing food for freezing, contact your local Cooperative

Extension Service or check a freezer guide or a reliable cookbook.

Packaging

The secret of successful freezing is in the packaging. The way you close and seal the package must not allow air or moisture in or out.

Packaging done in any other way could cause food odor and taste transfer throughout the refrigerator and drying of frozen food. l l

Packaging recommended for use: l

Rigid plastic containers with tight-fitting lids

Straight-sided cannin@freezing jars l

. Heavy-duty aluminum foil

Plastic-coated paper

Non-permeable plastic wraps (made from a

Saran film)

Follow package or container instructions for proper freezing methods. l l l

Do not use:

Bread wrappers

Non-polyethylene plastic containers

Containers without tight lids l l

Waxed paper

Waxedcoated freezer wrap l

Thin, semi-permeable wrap

The use of these wrappings could cause food odor, taste transfer and drying of frozen food.

Freezing

Do not expect your freezer to quick-freeze any large quantity of food. Put no more unfrozen food into the freezer than will freeze within 24 hours.

(No more than 2 to 3 pounds of food per cubic toot of freezer space.) Leave enough space for air to circulate around packages. Be careful to leave enough room at the front so the door can close tightly.

Freezer food storage chart

Storage times will vary according to the quality of the food, the type of packaging or wrap used (air and moisture proof) and the storage temperature
