The ON/OFF ever is a wire signa arm. DOWN to make ice automaticay UP to shut off ice maker IMPORTANT: Do not turn the ice maker ON unti it is connected to a water suppy. Instructions for water suppy hookup are attached to the back of the refrigerator cabinet. If you remove the ice bin, raise the signa arm to the OFF position. When you repace the bin, push it a the way in and ower the signa arm to the ON position. Good water quaity is important for good ice quaity. Try to avoid connecting the ice maker to a softened water suppy. Water softener chemicas (such as sat from a mafunctioning softener) can damage the ice maker mod and ead to poor ice quaity. If a softened water suppy cannot be avoided, make sure the water softener is operating propery and is we maintained. UP to stop ice maker DOWN to start ice maker 12

_.- _.-_..._ Understanding the sounds you may hear Your new refrigerator may make sounds that your od 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 norma. Hard surfaces ike the foor, was, and cabinets can make the sounds seem ouder. The foowing describes the kinds of sounds that might be new to you, and what may be making them. Sight hum, soft hiss You may hear the refrigerator s and moving air. fan motor Cicking or snapping sounds The thermostat makes a definite cick when the refrigerator stops running. It aso makes a sound when the refrigerator starts. The defrost timer wi cick when the defrost cyce starts. Saving energy You can hep your refrigerator use ess eectricity. Check door gaskets for a tight sea. Leve the cabinet to be sure of a good sea. Cean the condenser cois reguary. Open the door as few times as possibe. 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. Cose door as soon as food is removed. Reversing the door swing The doors on your refrigerator are reversibe. If you need to reverse the door swing, refer to the instruction sheet incuded with your refrigerator. Water sounds When the refrigerator stops running, you may hear gurging in the tubing for a few minutes after it stops. You may aso hear defrost water running into the defrost water pan. Ice maker sounds tricking water thud (catter of ice) If your refrigerator has an ice maker, you may hear buzzing (from the water vave), tricking water, and the catter of ice dumped into the bin. Running sounds Your refrigerator has a high-efficiency compressor and motor. It wi run onger than oder designs. It may even seem to run most of the time. Go ahead and fi up the refrigerator, but don t overcrowd it so air movement is bocked. It is a waste of eectricity to set the refrigerator and freezer to temperatures coder than they need to be. If ice cream is firm in the freezer and drinks are as cod as your famiy ikes them, that s cod enough. Make sure your refrigerator is not next to a heat source such as a range, water heater, furnace, radiator, or in direct sunight. 14
Caring For Your Refrigerator Your refrigerator is buit to give you many years of dependabe service. However, there are a few things you can do to hep extend its product ife.

Power interruptions If eectricity goes off, ca the power company. Ask how ong power wi be off. 1. If service wi be interrupted 24 hours or ess, keep both doors cosed. This heps foods stay frozen. 2. If service wi be interrupted onger than 24 hours: (a) Remove a frozen food and store in a frozen food ocker. OR (b) Pace 2 Ibs. (0.9 kg) of dry ice in freezer for every cubic foot of freezer space. This wi keep food frozen for 2 to 4 days. Wear goves to protect your hands from dry ice burns. OR (c) If neither a food ocker or dry ice is avaiabe, use or can perishabe food at once. 3. A fu freezer stays cod onger than a party fied one. A freezer fu of meat stays cod onger than a freezer fu of baked goods. If food contains ice crystas, it may be safey refrozen, athough the quaity and favor may be affected. If the condition of the food is poor, or if you fee it is unsafe, dispose of it.

Food Storage Guide There is a correct way to package and store refrigerated or frozen food. To keep food fresher, onger, take the time to study these recommended steps. Storing fresh food Wrap or store food in the refrigerator in airtight and moisture-proof materia. This prevents food odor and taste transfer throughout the refrigerator. For dated products, check code date to ensure freshness. Leafy vegetabes Remove store wrapping and trim or tear off bruised and discoored areas. Wash in cod water and drain. Pace in pastic bag or pastic container and store in crisper. Vegetabes with skins (carrots, peppers) Store in crisper, pastic bags, or pastic container. Fruit Wash, et dry, and store in refrigerator in pastic bags or crisper. Do not wash or hu berries unti they are ready to use. Sort and keep berries in their origina container in a crisper, or store in a oosey cosed paper bag on a refrigerator shef. hgs Store without washing in the origina carton on interior shef. Mik Wipe mik cartons. For best storage, pace mik on interior shef. Butter or margarine Keep opened butter in covered dish or cosed compartment. When storing an extra suppy, wrap in freezer packaging and freeze. Cheese Store in the origina wrapping unti you are ready to use it. Once opened, rewrap tighty in pastic wrap or auminum foi. Leftovers Cover eftovers with pastic wrap or auminum foi. Pastic containers with tight ids can aso be used. Meat Store most meat in origina wrapping as ong as it is airtight and moisture-proof. Rewrap if necessary. See the foowing chart for storage times. When storing meat onger than the times given, foow the directions for freezing. Chicken,... -2 days Ground beef.................................. -2 days Steaks and roasts......................... 3-5 days Cured meats................................ 7-0 days Bacon............................................. 5-7 days Cod cuts....................................... 3-5 days Variety meats................................ -2 days NOTE: Use fresh fish and shefish the same day as purchased. 19
Storing frozen food The freezer section is designed for storage of commerciay frozen food and for freezing food at home. NOTE: For further information about preparing food for freezing or food storage times, contact your oca Cooperative Extension Service or check a freezer guide or reiabe cookbook. Packaging The secret of successfu freezing is in the packaging. The way you cose and sea the package must not aow air or moisture in or out. Packaging done in any other way coud cause food odor and taste transfer throughout the refrigerator and drying of frozen food. Packaging recommended for use: Rigid pastic containers with tight-fitting ids Straight-sided canning/freezing jars Heavy-duty auminum foi Pastic-coated paper Non-permeabe pastic wraps (made from a Saran fim) Foow package or container instructions for proper freezing methods. Do not use: Bread wrappers Non-poyethyene pastic containers Containers without tight ids Waxed paper Waxed-coated freezer wrap Thin, semi-permeabe wrap The use of these wrappings coud cause food odor, taste transfer, and drying of frozen food. Freezing Do not expect your freezer to quick-freeze any arge quantity of food. Put no more unfrozen food into the freezer than wi 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 circuate around packages. Be carefu to eave enough room at the front so the door can cose tighty. Storage times wi vary according to the quaity of the food, the type of packaging or wrap used (airtight and moisture-proof) and the storage temperature, which shoud be 0 F (-17.8%). 20
