USE AND CARE GUIDE FOR YOUR REFRIGERATOR/FREEZER
Varying amounts of frost will form occasionally in the
freezer compartment, especially in areas near the top air
return. This is normal adjunct of the moist cold air circu
-
lating in the refrigerator section to help food stay fresh
longer.
If your freezer has an icemaker...
First buckets may contain contamination from new installa
-
tion. Throw away the first two harvests or until the ice is
free of discoloration and taste.
The icemaker makes ice once the freezer is cold. It will
turn off automatically when the ice bucket is full, provided
the bucket is properly positioned.
Lift the Stop Arm up out of the way when removing and
replacing the container.
CAUTION
Never place fingers, foreign objects or food packages near
the Ejector Blade.
CONGRATULATIONS!
You are now the proud owner of a
superb, beautiful and durable addition to your kitchen.
The following information will help you get the most plea
-
sure from your purchase.
Using your refrigerator...
Cool flowing air keeps your refrigerated foods fresh. Large
containers placed close together may restrict the flow of
air. Space food so cool air can flow around it.
To retain maximum moisture and flavor, cover containers
or seal food in moisture proof wrap. Odorous foods which
might affect others should always be covered.
Meat, fish and poultry can be stored safely in the refrigera
-
tor section for a few days, but as a general rule, the freezer
should be utilized for longer storage.
Vegetables and fruits should be washed, dried and stored
in the slide-out crisper. They will last longer in closed plas
-
tic containers or wrapped in plastic film.
Cover left-overs and use within a couple of days.
Shelves adjust to many positions, allowing versatile stor
-
age and maximum use of space. The adjustable door
shelves hold abundant storage, even tall bottles. Firmly
lock shelves in place before use.
NOTE: Do NOT block air coming into the refrigerator sec
-
tion. Food or liquids can freeze if placed too close to inlet
air.
All refrigerator crispers, and also the freezer basket sup
-
plied on the side-by-side models, are designed to be at the
very BOTTOM of their compartments.
Using your freezer...
Meats, fish and poultry pre-packed in plastic (self-service)
wrap can be stored in the freezer for a couple of weeks.
For longer freezer storage, wrap food in foil or other vapor-
proof, moisture-proof freezer wrap. Frozen food contain
-
ers should be sealed tightly. If food is wrapped in “Butcher
Paper”, remove and rewrap.
For more even temperature, space food so as not to re
-
strict air flow, especially at rear.
Light frost may form on shelves when freezer door is open.
After the door is closed, the air stream gradually removes
the frost.
Typical cycle of icemaker:
1. The icemaker fills with water.
2. When the water freezes, the motor rotates Ejector
Blade against the ice. The blade stops when it touches
the ice.
3. The heater releases the ice from the form.
4. The motor starts again. The blade moves ice from the
form into the bucket. The Ejector Blade makes two
(2) revolutions and then the icemaker fills with water
again.
