IS low.

2. Use the “0N”setting if moisture forms on the outside of the refrigerator.

Adjusting meat pan temperature.. .

Cold air flows against the meat pan through an opening between the freezer and the refrigerator. This helps keep the meat pan colder than the rest of the refrigerator

Set the control to let more or less cold air through.

l l

If you have the automatic ice maker accessory or plan to add one later [Part No. ECKMF-61). there are a few things you will want to know: l

The ON/OFF lever is a wire signal arm.

Down,, .for making ice automatically;

Up...toshut off the ice maker.

Shake the bin occasionally to keep cubes sepa- rated, and to obtain increased storage capacity.

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

Lower Signal

Arm to Start It.

Signal

Maker.

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. l l l

The ice maker will noi operate until the freezer is cold enough to make ice. This can take overnight.

Because of new plumbing connections, the first ice may be discolored or off-flavored. Discard the first few batches of ice.

If ice is not berng made fast enough and more ice is needed, turn the Temperature control to a higher number. Wait a day and, if necessary, turn the Air

Control to a higher number. l l

If you remove the ice bin, raise the signal arm to shut off the ice maker. When you return the bin. push it all the way in and lower the arm to the ON posrtion.

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

0 Good water quality is important for good ice quality

It is not recommended that the ice maker be con- nected to a softened water supply. Water softener chemicals such as salt from a malfunctioning soft- ener can damage the ice maker mold and lead to poor quality ice. If a softened water supply cannot be avoided, then it is important that the water soft- ener be well maintained and operating properly.

Sounds you may hear...

P

‘/

’ ,F

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

Possible Sounds:

Slight Hum, Soft Hiss:

Probable Causes:

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

Clicking or Snapping

Sounds: l

Water Sounds:

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

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. l

Ice Maker Sounds:

-trickling water

-thud (clatter of ice)

If 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.

Your refrigerator has a high-efficiency compressor and motor. It will run longer than older designs. It may even seem to run most of the time. l

Energy saving tips...

l l l l

You can help your refrigerator use less electricity

Check door gaskets for a tight seal. Level the cabr- net to be sure of a good seal.

Clean the condenser coil regularly.

Open the door as few times as possible Think about what you need before you open the door, Get everything out at one time. Keep foods organized so you won’t have to search for what you want.

Close door as soon as food is removed.

Go ahead and fill up the refrigerator, but don’t over- crowd it so air movement IS blocked. l l l

It is a waste of electricity to set the refrigerator and freezer to temperatures colder than they need to be. If ice cream is firm in the freezer and drinks are as cold as your family likes them, that’s cold enough.

Keep the Power Saving Control on OFF unless moisture forms on the refrigerator exterior.

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

Cleaning your refrigerator

Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost automatically. But both should be cleaned about once a month to help prevent odors from building up. Of course, spills should be wiped up right away.

To clean your refrigerator, turn the Temperature

Control to OFF, unplug it, take out all removable parts, and clean it according to the following directions.

FREEZING & STORING FROZEN

3 6

The freezer section is desrgned for storage of com- mercially frozen foods and for freezrng foods at home.

Packaglng - The secret of successful freezing is in the packaging. The wrap you use must be air, moisture and vapor proof. The way you close and seal the package must not allow air, moisture or vapor in or out. Packaging done in any other way could cause food odor and taste transfer throughout the re- frigerator and drying of frozen food.

Rigid polyethylene (plastic) containers with trght- fitting lids, straight-sided canning/freezing jars, heavy-duty aluminum foil, plastrc-coated paper and non-permeable plastic wraps [such as Saran) are recommended. Note: Heat-sealed boiling bags are easy to use and can be used by themselves or as carton liners.

Sealing-When sealing foods in bags squeeze out the air (liquids need headspace to allow for expansron ) Twist the top and turn it back. Fasten tie securely around the doubled-over tail. Put the label inside transparent bags, use self-adhesrve label on outsrde of opaque ones. over twice. Finish package and tape closed. NOTE:

With unboned meats, pad sharp edges with extra wrap or use stockinette to protect the wrap from punctures l l l l l l

DO NOT USE.

Bread wrappers

Non-polyethylene plastic containers

Containers without tight lids

Waxed paper

Waxed-coated freezer wrap

Thin, semi-permeable wrap

None of these are totally moisture, air or vapor proof. The use of these wrappings could cause food odor and taste transfer and drying of frozen food.

Air-tight wrapping calls for “drugstore” wrap. Cut the sheet about one-third longer than the distance around the food Bring the ends together and fold in

[toward the food) at least twice to seal out air. Crease ends close to food, press air from package. Fold trps

Freezing Fruits-Select ripe. blemrsh-free frurts

Be sure they taste as good as they look. Wash 2 to

3 quarts [liters) at a time and drain, Fruit that stands

In water may lose food value and become, soggy.

Sort, peel, trim. pit and slice as needed.

Pack in rigid wide-mouthed contarners or other recommended material. Leave head space to al- low liquids to expand during freezing.

Freezing Vegetables - Freeze only fresh hrgh- quality vegetables picked when barely mature

For best results, freeze no more than 2 to 3 hours after pickrng. Wash in cold water, sort and cut into appropriate sizes. Blanch or scald. Pack In recom- mended container and freeze.

Do not freeze lettuce, celery, carrot sticks, pota- toes or fresh tomatoes. All will become IImp or mushy. Tomatoes will collapse when thawed

Freezing Cooked Food - Prepare cooked foods as you would for the table; shorten cooking tImeI to15 minutes toallow for additional cooking during reheating. Omit seasonings and part of the liquid. Plan to add them at reheatrng time. Pota- toes should also be added to soup and stew at heating time. Add crumb and cheese topprngs at heating time.

Cool as raprdly as possible and freeze at once.

Liquid or semi-liquid dishes may be frozen in rec- ommended containers with head-space. Casser- oles and other more solid foods may be frozen In the baking container. If you don’t want to leave your casserole dish in the freezer, lrne it with foil.

Bake, cool, freeze, lift out the foil package, bag it and return to freezer.

Freezing Meats-The meat you thaw can only be as good as the meat you freeze. “Drugstore” wrap in meal-size packages. Flat cuts or patties should be wrapped individually or in layers sepa- rated by a double thickness of freezer wrap.

Make sure store wrappings are moisture and va- por proof. If not, re-wrap meats wrth one of the wraps recommended under “Packaging”.

Freezing Baked Goods-Wrap baked breads in recommended material. Thaw In wrapping. Un- baked yeast breads can be frozen after the first rrsrng. Punch down, wrap and freeze.

Bake cookies as usual Cool and freeze on trays, then pack In recommended freezer bags or car- tons. Unbaked cookres may be dropped. molded or rolled and frozen on cookie trays Store In bag or carton, bake without thawing. Refrigerator-type cookres can be wrapped and frozen in roll form.

Thaw only enough to slice when ready to bake.

Frurt pies are best frozen unbaked. Bake without thawing. Bake pecan and stmilar pies before freezing .rrch frllrngs do not freeze solid. Cut steam vents In top crusts when ready to bake

IMPORTANT: Do not expect your freezer to quick-freeze any large quantity of food. Put no more un- frozen food into the freezer than will freeze within 24 hours. (No more than

2 to 3 pounds of fresh meat or 3 to 4 pounds of vegetables per cubic foot 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.

Long vacations. . .

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

Unplug the refrigerator and clean it...rinse well ar,d dry. Tape rubber or wood blocks to both doors

..keeping them open far enough for air to get in.

This will keep odor and mold from building up.

Moving. . .

If your refrigerator is equipped wrth an automatic ice maker, shut off the ice maker water supply a day ahead of time. Disconnect the water line. After the last supply of ice drops, lift the signal arm to turn off the ice maker.

Remove all food. Pock frozen foods in dry ice.

Unplug the refrigerator and clean it thoroughly.

Remove everything that comes out. Wrap all parts well and tape them together so they don’t shift and rattle.

Screw in the levelling rollers; tape the doors shut: tape the electric cord to the cabinet. When you get to your new home, put everything back, and refer to page 4. Don’t forget to reconnect the water supply line if you have an icemaker.

If you need service or assistance, we suggest you follow these four steps:

1.

Before calling for assistance...

Performance problems often result from little things you con find and fix yourself wlthout tools of any kind. l l l

If your refrigerator will not operate:

Is the power supply cord plugged into a live circurt with the proper voltage7 [See page 4 )

Hove you checked your home’s maln fuses or clrcult breaker box?

Is the Temperature Control turned ON? l l

If there is a mttling or jingling noise, or other un- familiar sounds:

Is something on top or behind the refrigerator mak- ing noise when the refrigerator

IS running?

New features on your new refrigerator make new sounds. Vou may be hearing air flowing from the fans, timer clicks for the defrosting cycle, defrost water draining into the defrost pan l l l

If your ice maker will not operate:

Has the freezer hod enough time to get cold? With a new refrigerator, this might take overnight.

Is the signal arm ON...in the down position?

Is the water valve turned on? Is water getting to the ice maker? l

If there is water in the defrost pan:

In hot, muggy weather, this

IS normal. The pan con even be half full. Make sure the refrigerator is level so the pan doesn’t overflow. l l

If the lights are not working:

Hove you checked your home’s man fuses or circuit breaker box?

Is the power supply cord plugged into a live circuit with the proper voltage? (See page 4 ) l

If a bulb is burned out:

Seeinstructionsforchanglng

Use appliance bulbs only lightbulbsonpage7 l l l

If the motor seems to run too much:

Is the condenser, behind the base gnlle, free of dust and lint?

On hot days, or if the room

IS worm, the motor natu- rally runs longer.

If the door has been opened a lot, or if a large amount of food has been put in, the motor WIII run longer to cool down the interior.

Remember: Motor running time depends on dif- ferent things: number of door openings, amount of food stored, temperature of the room, setting of the controls

And, your new refrigerator may be larger than your old one so it has more space to be cooled It also has a regular freezer instead of a frozen food comport- ment. All this means better refrigeration and may re- quire more running time than your old one.
