Automatic ice maker...

There are a few things you will want to know about your ice maker: l

The ON/OFF lever is a wire signal arm.

Down...for making ice automatically.

Up...to shut off the ice maker.

DO NOT TURN ICE MAKER ON UNTIL IT IS CON-

NECTED TO THE WATER SUPPLY.

LOWER

SIGNAL

ARM TO

START IT

RAISE

SIGNAL

ARM TO

STOP ICE 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 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.

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 not 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 being made fast enough and more ice is needed, turn the Refrigerator Control to- ward a higher number. Wait a day and, if neces- sary, turn the Freezer Control toward C. 7 continued on next page

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 position.

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. l

Good water quality is important for godd 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 malfunc- tioning sof-tener can damage the ice maker mold and lead to poor quality ice. If a softened water supply cannot be avoided, then it is impor- tant that the water softener be well maintained and operating properly.

Removing the base grille...

To remove the grille: r

METAL CLIPS

\

1. Open the doors.

2. Pull grille outwards as shown.

3. Do not remove Tech sheet fastened behind grille.

1. Line up grille support tabs with metal clips.

2. Push firmly to snap into place.

3. Close the doors. l l l l

Sounds you may hear...

P

‘/

’ \’

Possible Sounds:

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.

Probable Causes:

Slight Hum, Sotl Hiss: You may hear the refrigerator’s fan motor and moving air.

Cllcklng or Snapping

Sounds:

The thermostat makes a definite click when the refrigerator stops running.

It also makes a sound when the refrigerator starts. The defrost timer will click when the defrost cycle starts and stops.

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.

Ice Maker Sounds:

-trickling water

-thud (clatter of ice)

When the ice maker is running you may hear buzzing (from the water valve), trickling water and the clatter of ice dumped into the bin. l

Running Sounds:

8

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 l l

Energy saving tips...

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 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 orga- nized so you won’t have to search for what you want. Close door as soon as food is removed. l l l l

Go ahead and fill up the refrigerator, but don’t overcrowd it so air movement is blocked.

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 Saver Control on CONSUMES

LESS ENERGY unless moisture forms on refrigerator exterior.

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

Food storage guide

STORING FRESH FOOD

Cured or Smoked Meat and Cold Cuts. Ham, bacon, sausage, cold cuts, etc., keep best in origi- nal wrappings. Once opened, tightly re-wrap in plastic wrap or aluminum foil.

Canned Ham. Store in refrigerator unless the label says it’s okay to store on the shelf. Do not freeze.

Fresh Poultry...Wrap in plastic wrap. The plastic on poultry, as purchased, may be used for storage.

There is a right way to package and store refrigerated or frozen foods. To keep foods fresher, longer, take the time to study these recommended steps. leafy Vegetables...Remove store wrapping and trim or tear off bruised and discolored areas.

Wash in cold waterand drain. Place in plastic bag or plastic container and store in crisper. Cold, moist air helps keep leafy vegetables fresh and crisp.

Vegetables with Skins (carrots, peppers)...Store in crisper, plastic bags or plastic container.

Frult...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,

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

Meat*...Meat is perishable and expensive...you won’t wantto waste an ounce of it through careless handling. The following list and chart give you packaging hints and time limits. Store meat in the meat drawer.

Fresh, Prepackaged Meat. Store fresh meat in thestore wrapping. Vacuum packaged meat can be frozen for as long as one month if the seal is not broken. If you want to keep it frozen longer, you should wrap it with special freezer wrapping material.

Fresh Meat, Not Prepackaged. Remove the market wrapping paperand re-wrap in aluminum foil for storing it unfrozen.

Cooked Meat. Wrap or cover cooked meat with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Store immediatelv.

Eggs...Store without washing in the original car- ton or use the Utility Bin that came with your refrigerator.

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

Bevemges...Wipe bottles and cans. Store on a door shelf or inside the refrigerator.

Butter...Keep opened butter in covered dish or in the Utility Compartment. When storing an extra supply, wrap in freezer packaging and freeze.

Cheese...Store in the original wrapping until you are ready to use it. Once opened, re-wrap tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil.

Condiments...Store small jars and bottles

(catsup, mustard, jelly, olives) on the door shelves where they are in easy reach.

Leftovers...Cover leftovers with plastic wrap or aluminum foil to keep food from drying out and transferring food odors. Plastic containers with tight lids are fine, too.

FREEZING & STORING

FROZEN FOODS

The freezer section is designed for storage of commercially frozen foods and for freezing foods at home.

Packaging - 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 through- out the refrigerator and drying of frozen food.

Rigid polyethylene (plastic] containers with tightfitting lids, straight-sided jars, heavy-duty aluminum per and nonpermeable canning/freezing foil, plastic-coated pa- plastic wraps (made from a Saran film] 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 expansion). Twist the top and turn it back. Fasten tie securely around the doubled-over tail. Put the label inside transparent bags; use self-adhesive label on outside of opaque ones. l

DO NOT USE:

Bread wrappers l l l l

Non-polyethylene plastic containers

Containers without tight lids

Waxed paper

Waxed-coated freezer wrap

Thin, semi-permeable wrap l

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

Air-tight wrapping calls for “drugstore” wrap. Cut the sheet about one-third longerthan 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 tips over twice. Finish package and tape closed. NOTE: With unboned meats, pad sharp edges with extra wrap or use stockinette to pro- tect the wrap from punctures.

Freezing Fruits - Select ripe, blemish-free fruits.

Be sure they taste as good as they look. Wash 2 to 3 quarts [liters] at a time and drain. Fruitthatstands in water may lose food value and become soggy.

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

Pack in rigid wide-mouthed containers or other recommended material. Leave head space to allow liquids to expand during freezing.

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

For best results, freeze no more than 2 to 3 hours after picking. 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, potatoes or fresh tomatoes. All will become limp or mushy. Tomatoes will collapse when thawed.

Freezing Cooked Food-Prepare cooked foods as you would for the table; shorten cooking time 10 to 15 minutes to allow for additional cooking dur- ing reheating Omit seasonings and part of the liq- uid. Plan to add them at reheating time. Potatoes should also be added to soup and stew at heating time. Add crumb and cheese toppings at heating time.

Cool as rapidly as possible and freeze at once

Liquid or semi-liquid dishes may be frozen in rec- ommended containers with head-space. Cas- seroles 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, line 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 indrvidually or in layers sepa- rated by a double thickness of freezer wrap.

Make sure store wrappings are moisture and vapor proof. If not, re-wrap meats with one of the wraps recommended under “Packaging:’

Freezing Baked Goods- Wrap baked breads in recommended material. Thaw In wrapping.

Unbaked yeast breads can be frozen afterthe first rising. Punch down, wrap and freeze

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

Thaw only enough to slice when ready to bake.

Fruit pies are best frozen unbaked. Bake without thawing. Bake pecan and similar pies before freezing...rich fillings do not freeze solid. Cut steam vents in top crusts when ready to bake.

12

IMPORTANT: 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 foot of freezer space.) leave enough space for air to circulate around pack- ages. Be careful to leave enough room at the front so the door can close tightly.

FOOD STORAGE CHART

Storage times* will vary according to the qual- ity of the food, the type of packaging or wrap used (moisture and vapor-proof], and the stor- age temperature which should be 0°F ( -17.8”C).

Extension Service suggested storage times.

If electricity goes off

Call the power company. Ask how long power will be off

1. If service is to be interrupted 24 hours or less, keep both doors closed. This will help frozen foods to stay frozen.

2. If service is to be interrupted longer than 24 hours:

[a) Remove all frozen food and store in a frozen food locker. Or...

(b] Place 2 Ibs (0.9 kg) of dry ice in freezer for every cu. ft. of freezer space. This will keep frozen foods for 2 to 4 days. Wear gloves to protect your hands from dry ice burns.

(c] If neither food locker storage nor dry ice is available, use or can perishable food at once.

3. A full freezer will stay cold longerthan a partly filled one. A freezer full of meat will stay cold longer than a freezer full of baked goods. If food contains ice crystals, it may be safely refrozen, although the quality and flavor may be affected. Use refrozen foods quickly. If the condition of the food is poor or you have any suspicions, it is wise to dispose of it.

Vacation

Short vacations...

No need to shut off the refrigerator if you will be away for less than four weeks. Use up perishables; freeze other items.

1. Turn off your ice maker.

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

3. Empty the ice bin.

Long vacations...

Remove all the food if you are going for a month or more. At least a day ahead, turn off the water supply to the ice maker. When the last load of ice drops, turn off the ice maker.

Unplug the refrigerator and clean it...rinse well and dry. Tape rubber or wood blocks to the tops of both doors...keeping them open farenough for air to get in. This will keep odor and mold from build- ing up.

Questions? call your

CCCL-LINE” service assistance telephone number

(page W.

Moving...

Shutoff theicemakerwatersupplya day ahead of time. Disconnect the water line. After the last sup- ply of ice drops, lift the signal arm to turn off the ice maker.

Remove all food. Pack 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, level the refrigerator, reconnect the water supply and refer to page 4.

To restart refrigerator, see “Using Your Refrig- erator:’

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

1.

Before calling for assistance...

Performance problems often result from little things you can find and fix yourself without tools of any kind. l if your refrigerator will not operate:

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

Have you checked your home’s main fuses or circuit breaker box?

Is the Refrigerator Control ON? l l if there Is a rattling or jingling noise or unfamiliar sounds:

Is something on top or behind the refrigerator making noise when the refrigerator is running?

New features on your new refrigerator make new sounds. You may be hearing air flowing from the fans, timer clicks for the defrosting cycle, or defrost water draining in the defrost pan. l l if your ice maker will not operate:

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

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

Is the water valve turned on? is water getting to the ice maker? l if there is water in the defrost pan:

This is normal in hot, muggy weather. The pan can even be half full. Make sure the refrigerator is level so the pan does not overflow. l if the lights do not work:

Have you checked your home’s main fuses or circuit breaker? l

Is the power supply cord plugged into a live circuit with the proper voltage? (See page 4.) if a bulb is burned out:

9 See instructions for changing light bulbs on page 7.

Only use appliance bulbs.

If the motor seems to run too much: l l l

Is the condenser free of dust and lint?

On hot days, or if the room is warm, the motor naturally runs longer, if the door has been opened a lot, or if a large amount of food has been put in, the motor will run longer to cool down the interior.

Remember: Motor running time depends on different 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 compartment.

All this means better refrigeration and may require more running time than your old one.
