Frozen Food Storage
„
The freezer compartment of a refrigerator should be kept at
approximately 0°F (-18°C). To check the temperature, place
an appliance thermometer between the frozen packages and
check after 24 hours. If the temperature is above 0°F (-18°C),
adjust the control as described on page 3.
„
A freezer operates more efficiently when it is at least two-thirds
full.
Packaging foods for freezing
„
To minimize dehydration and quality deterioration use
aluminum foil, freezer wrap, freezer bags or airtight containers.
Force as much air out of the packages as possible and be
sure they are tightly sealed. Trapped air can cause the food to
dry out, change color and develop an off-flavor (freezer burn).
„
Wrap fresh meats and poultry with suitable freezer wrap prior
to freezing.
„
Do not refreeze meat that has completely thawed.
Loading the Freezer
„
Avoid adding too much warm food to the freezer at one time.
This overloads the freezer, slows the rate of freezing and can
raise the temperature of frozen foods.
„
Leave space between the packages so cold air can circulate
freely, allowing food to freeze as quickly as possible.
„
Avoid storing hard-to-freeze foods such as ice cream and
orange juice on the freezer door shelves. These foods are
best stored in the freezer interior where the temperature varies
less with door openings.
Refrigerator Operation
Water Filter Removal and Installation
Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of
unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after
the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used on
disinfected waters that may contain filterable cysts.
Initial Installation
The water filter is located in the upper right hand corner of the
fresh food compartment.
NOTICE: Flush four (4) gallons of water through the water filter
cartridge before use.
1. Remove the blue bypass cap and retain it for later use.
2. Remove the sealing label from the end of the filter and insert it
into the filter head.
3. Rotate it gently clockwise until it stops. Snap the filter cover
closed.
4. Hold a sturdy container under the water spout and press the
dispenser button. Flush the water system by dispensing and
discarding 4 gallons (15 L) of water. Cleaning the system will
take approximately 5 minutes and will help clear air from the
line. Additional flushing may be required in some households.
As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out of the
dispenser.
Replacing the Water Filter
IMPORTANT: Air trapped in the system may cause water and the
cartridge to eject. Always dispense water for two minutes before
removing the filter for any reason. Use caution when removing.
1. Turn the filter counterclockwise until it releases from the filter
head.
2. Drain the water from the filter into the sink, and dispose of the
filter in normal household trash.
3. Wipe up excess water in the filter cover and continue with
Initial Installation steps 2 through 4.
Change the filter at least every 6 months.
NOTICE: Flush four (4) gallons of water through the water filter
cartridge before use.
IMPORTANT: The condition of the water and the amount used
determines the life span of the water filter cartridge. If water use is
high, or if water is of poor quality, replacement may need to take
place more often.
To order visit www.everythingdacor.com or call Dacor Customer
Service at (800) 793-0093. Use replacement cartridge AFF3.
The dispenser feature may be used without a water filter
cartridge. If you choose this option, replace the filter with the blue
bypass cap.
