Ice cube trays...

(Model ET22DK only)

If cubes are not used, they may shrink. The mov- ing 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. Slightly twist.

Automatic ice maker...

l

If you have Model ET22DM and have the auto- matic ice maker accessory, or if you have Model

ET22DK and plan to add one later (Part No.

ECKMF-B3), there are a few things you will want to know:

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. l

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

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

8 l l 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 A.

NAL

ICE

l 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.

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 malfunc- tioning softener 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.

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

Energy saving tips...

l 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 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,

Go ahead and fill up the refrigerator, but don’t overcrowd 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 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 refngerator 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 Refrigerator

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 alurrlnum foil to keep food from drying out and transferring food odors Plastic containers with tight lids are fine, too

FREEZING g: STORING

FROZEN FOODS

The freezer section is designed for storage of commercrally frozen foods and for freezrng 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 canning/freezing jars. heavy-duty aluminum forl, plastic-coated per and nonpermeable 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 tre securely around the doubled-over tall Put the label inside transparent bags use self-adhesive label on outside of opaque ones l l l

DO NOT USE:

Bread wrappers

Non-polyethylene plastic containers

Containers without tight lids l l

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-

1 ing of frozen food.

Atr-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 tips over twice. Finrsh 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 Frurtthat stands in water may lose food value and become soggy

Sort. peel, trim prt and slice as needed

Pack In rigid wade-mouthed containers or other recommended material Leave head space to allow liquids to expand during freezing

12

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

For best results, freeze no more than 2 to 3 hours after plckrng. Wash In cold water, sort and cut Into appropriate srzes Blanch or scald Pack in recom- mended contarner and freeze

Do not freeze lettuce, celery, carrot sticks. potatoes or fresh tomatoes All WIII become I!mp or mushy Tomatoes will collapse when thawed

Freezing Cooked Food-Prepare cooked foods as you would for the table, shorten cooking time IO to 15 minutes to allow for additional cooklng dur- rng reheating Omit seasonrngs and part of the Ilq- urd 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 dashes 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 wrth 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 pattfes should be wrapped indrvrdually or in layers sepa- rated by a double thrckness of freezer wrap

Make sure store wrappings are motsture and vapor proof. If not, re-wrap meats with one of the wraps recommended under ‘Pockaging:

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

Unbaked yeast breads can be frozen after the 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 freezrng rich fillings do not freeze solrd Cut steam vents in top crusts when ready to bake

13

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.

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. If your refrigerator is equipped with an automatic ice maker:

1. Turn it off

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. If your refrigerator is equipped with an automatic 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 and dry. Tape rubber or wood blocks to the tops of both doors...keeping them open far enough for air to get in. This will keep odor and mold from build- ing up.

Moving...

If your refrigerator is equipped with an auto- matic ice maker, shut off the ice maker water sup- ply a day ahead oftime. Disconnectthe water line.

After the last supply 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, and refer to page 4. Don’t forget to reconnect the water supply line if you have an ice maker.

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 l l if your retrlgemtor will not operate:

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

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

Is the Refrigerator Control ON? 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. l l if there is a rattling or jingling noise, or other 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, defrost water draining into the defrost pan.

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

2. If you need assistance?..

l l l

I? 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?

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 can even be half full. Make sure the refrigerator is level so the pan doesn’t overflow.
