If you have the automatic ice maker accessory or pan to add one ater [Part No. ECKMF-B3), there are a few things you wi want to know: The ON/OFF ever is a wire signa arm. Downfor making ice automaticay. UpJo shut off the ice maker. Shake the bin occasionay to keep cubes separated, and to obtain increased storage capacity. It is norma for ice crescents to be attached by a corner. They wi break apart easiy. LOWER SIGNAL ARM TO START IT ON You wi hear water running when ice maker is working. You hear ice fa into the bin. Don t et these sounds bother you. The ice maker wi not operate unti the freezer is cod enough to make ice. This can take overnight. Because of new pumbing connections, the first ice may be discoored or off-favored. Discard the first few batches of ice. If ice is not being made fast enough and more ice is needed, turn the Refrigerator Contro toward a higher number. Wait a day and, if necessary, turn the Freezer Contro toward A. If you remove the ice bin, raise the signa arm to shut off the ice maker. When you return the bin, push it a the way in and ower the arm to the ON position. If cubes are stored too ong, they may deveop an off-favor...ike stae water. Throw them away. They wi be repaced. Cubes in the ice bin can aso become smaer by evaporation. Good water quaity is important for good ice quaity It is not recommended that the ice maker be connected 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 quaity ice. If a softened water suppy cannot be avoided, then it is impor- tant that the water softener be we maintained and operating propery. 7

8 Sounds you may hear... 3 P /,---+ Possbie Sounds: Sight Hum, Sof HISS: Cicking or Snapping Sounds: Water Sounds: Ice Maker Sounds: - tricking water - thud (cafter of ice) Running Sounds: 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 chart describes the kinds of sounds that might be new to you, and what may be making them. Probabe Causes: You may hear the refrigerator s fan motor and moving air. 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 and stops. 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. 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. 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. Energy saving tips... 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 coi 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 foods organized so you won t have to search for what you want. Cose door as soon as food is removed. Go ahead and fi up the refrigerator, but don t overcrowd it so air movement is bocked. Ceaning your refrigerator Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost automaticay. But both shoud be ceaned about once a month to hep prevent odors from buiding up.of course,spis shoud be wiped up right away. To cean your refrigerator turn the Refrigerator Contro to OFF, unpug it, take out a removabe parts and cean it according to the foowing directions.. 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. Keep the Power Saving Contro on CONSUMES LESS ENERGY uness 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 sunight.

11 FREEZING & STORING FROZEN FOODS The freezer section is designed for storage of commerciay frozen foods and for freezing foods ot home. Packagng - The secret of successfu freezing is in the packaging. The wrap you use must be air, moisture and vapor proof. The way you cose and sea the package must not aow air, moisture or vapor in or out. Packaging done in any other way coud cause food odor and taste transfer fhroughout the refrigerator and drying of frozen food. Rigid poyethyene (pastic) containers with tighffitting ids, straight-sided canning/freezing tars, heavy-duty auminum foi, pastic-coated paoer and nonpermeabe pastic wraps [made from 3 Saran fim) are recommended. NOTE: Heatheaed bong bags are easy to use and can be used by themseves or as carton iners. Seang - When seaing foods in bags squeeze >ut the air (iquids need headspace to aow for?xpansion). Twist the fop and turn it back. Fasten tie securey around the doubed-over tai. Put the abe inside transparent bags; use sef-adhesive abe on outside of opaque ones. DO NOT USE: Bread wrappers Non-poyethyene pastic containers Containers without tight ids Waxed paper Waxed-coated freezer wrap Thin, semi-permeabe wrap None of these are totay moisture, air or vapor proof. The use of these wrappngs coud cause food odor and taste transfer and drying of frozen food. Air-tight wrapping cas for drugstore wrap. Cut the sheet about one-third ongerthan the distance around the food. Bring the ends together and fod in (toward the food] at east twice to sea out air. Crease ends cose to food, press air from package. Fod tips over twice. Finish package and tape cosed. NOTE: With unboned meats, pad sharp edges wth extra wrap or use stockinette to protect the wrap from punctures. Freezing Fruits - Seect ripe, bemish-free fruits. Be sure they taste as good as they ook. Wash 2 to 3 quarts (iters) at a time and drain. Fruit that stands in wafer may ose food vaue and become soggy. Sort, pee, trim, pit and sice as needed. Pack in rigid wide-mouthed containers or other recommended materia. Leave head space to aow iquids to expand during freezing. 11

12 Freezing Vegetabes - Freeze ony fresh highquaity vegetabes picked when barey mature. For best resuts, freeze no more than 2 to 3 hours after picking. Wash in cod wafer, sort and cut info appropriate sizes. Banch or scad. Pack in recommended container and freeze. Do not freeze ettuce, ceery, carrot sticks, potatoes or fresh tomatoes. A wi become imp or mushy. Tomatoes wi coapse when thawed. Freezng Cooked Food - Prepare cooked foods as you woud for the tabe; shorten cooking time 10 to 15 minutes to aow for additiona cooking during reheating. Omit seasonings and part of the iquid. Pan to add them at reheating time. Potatoes shoud aso be added to soup and stew at heating time. Add crumb and cheese toppings at heating time. Coo as rapidy as possibe and freeze at once. Liquid or semi-iquid dishes may be frozen in recommended containers with head-space. Casseroes and other more soid foods may be frozen in the baking container. If you don t want to eave your casseroe dish in the freezer, ine it with foi. Bake, coo, freeze, ift out the foi package, bag it and return to freezer. Freezing Meats - The meat you thaw can ony be as good as the meat you freeze. Drugstore wrap in mea-size packages. Fat cuk or patties shoud be wrapped individuay or in ayers separated by a doube 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 materia. Thaw in wrapping. Unbaked yeast breads can be frozen after the first rising. Punch down, wrap and freeze. Bake cookies as usua. Coo and freeze on trays, then pack in recommended freezer bags or cartons. Unbaked cookies may be tiropped, moded or roed and frozen on cookietrays. Store in bag or carton; bake without thawing. Refrigerator-type cookies can be wrapped and frozen in ro form. Thaw ony enough to sice when ready to bake. Fruit pies are best frozen unbaked. Bake without thawing. Bake pecan and simiar pies before freezing...rich fiings do not freeze soid. Cut steam vents in top crusts when ready to bake. 12

13 HPORTANT: Do not expect your freezer to quickreeze any arge quantity of food. Put no more infrozen food Into the freezer than wi freeze rthn 24 hours. (No more than 2 to 3 pounds of >od per cubic foot of freezer space.) eave nough space for ar to circuate around pack- Iges. Be carefu to eave enough room at the ont so the door can cose tighty.

Questions?...ca your COOL-LINE n service assistance teephone number (page 151. To restart refrigerator, erator: see Using Your Refrig- 14

15 If you need service or assistance, we suggest you foow these five steps: 1. Before Caing for Assistance... Performance probems often resut from itte things you can find and fix yoursef without toos of any kind. If your refrigerator wi not opemte: Is the eectric cord pugged into a ive circuit with proper votage? [See page 4.) Have you checked your home s main fuses or circuit breaker box? Is the Refrigerator Contro ON? If there Is a mttng or Jngng nose or unfamiiar sounds: Is something on fop 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 fowing from the fans, timer cicks for the defrosting cyce, or defrost water draining in the defrost pan. If your Ice maker wi not operate: Has the freezer had enough time to get cod? With a new refrigerator, this might take overnight. Is the signa arm ON...in the down position? Is the wafer vave turned on? Is wafer getting to the ice maker? If there Is water In the defrost pan: This is norma in hot, muggy weather. The pan can even be haf fu. Make sure the refrigerator is eve so the pan does not overfow. If the ight does not work: Have you checked your home s main fuses or circuit breaker box? Is the power suppy cord pugged info a ive circuit with the proper votage? (See page 4.) If a bub Is burned out: See instructions for changing ight bubs on page 6. Ony use appiance bubs. If the motor seems to run too much: Is the condenser, behind the refrigerator, free of dust and int? On hot days, or if the room is warm, the motor naturay runs onger. If the door has been opened a ot, or if a arge amountof food has been put in,fhe motor wi run onger to coo 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 contros. And, your new refrigerator may be arger than your od one so it has more space to be cooed. It aso has a reguar freezer instead of a frozen food compartment. A this means better refrigeration and may require more running time than your od one. 2. If you need assistance?.. Ca Whrpoo COOL-LINE@ service assistance teephone number.
