Fresh Food Storage (continued)
Fruits and Vegetables
Storage in the crisper drawers traps humidity to help preserve
the fruit and vegetable quality for longer time periods (see
page 5).
Sort fruits and vegetables before storage and use bruised or
soft items first. Discard those showing signs of decay.
Always wrap odorous foods such as onions and cabbage so
the odor does not transfer to other foods.
While vegetables need a certain amount of humidity to remain
fresh, too much humidity can shorten storage times (especially
leafy vegetables). Drain vegetables well before storing.
Wait to wash fresh produce until right before use.
Freezer Compartment
Ice Bin
The ice bin provides storage for ice.
To remove the ice bin:
Pull it forward, away from the ice maker. To avoid the ice
maker dumping ice while the bin is removed, turn the ice
maker off by raising the ice maker arm.
To install the ice bin:
Reverse the above procedure. Turn the ice maker on by
lowering the ice maker arm.
Lower Basket Divider
The lower basket divider allows you to organize the basket area
into sections.
To remove and replace the divider:
Pull the divider straight up to remove it.
To install it, hook the top corners of the divider over the top
horizontal basket rungs.
Removing the Drawer Front
Pull the freezer drawer
1.
completely open.
Loosen the four screws
2.
attaching the drawer
brackets to the drawer front
as shown.
NOTE:
Loosen the screws
only three to four turns. Do
not remove the screws from
the drawer front.
Reinstalling the Drawer Front
Slide the screws on the back of the drawer front into the slots
1.
in the drawer brackets on both sides. You may need to move
the bottom of the bracket around slightly to get the slot to line
up with the screw.
Tighten the four front panel screws completely. Do not over-
2.
tighten.
Place the freezer basket back into the drawer slides.
3.
Automatic Ice Maker
Connect the ice maker to the water supply as instructed in the
installation instructions.
Proper water flow and a level refrig-
erator are essential for optimal ice maker performance.
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.
To start the ice maker:
Make sure the ice bin is in
1.
place and the ice maker arm is
down.
After the freezer section
2.
reaches between 0° to 2°F
(-18° to -17° C), the ice maker
fills with water and begins
operating. You will have a
complete harvest of ice approx-
imately every three hours.
Allow approximately 24 hours
3.
after installation to receive the first harvest of ice.
Discard ice created within the first 12 hours of operation to
4.
assure the system is flushed of impurities.
To turn off the ice maker:
Raise the ice maker arm until a click is heard. The ice maker
will remain in the off position until the arm is pushed down.
NOTES:
The first one or two batches will probably contain undersized
and irregular cubes because of air in the supply line.
When the ice cubes are ejected, it is normal for several cubes
to be joined together at the ends. They can easily be broken
apart. The ice maker will continue to make ice until the supply
of ice cubes raises the ice maker arm, shutting the ice maker
off.
Certain sounds may accompany the various cycles of the ice
maker. The motor may have a slight hum, the cubes will rattle
as they fall into an empty storage pan and the water valve
may click or “buzz” occasionally.
If the ice is not used frequently, the ice cubes will become
cloudy, shrink, stick together and taste stale. Empty the ice
storage bin periodically and wash it in lukewarm water. Be
sure to dry the bin thoroughly before replacing it.
Beverages and foods should not be placed in the ice storage
bin for quick chilling. These items can block the ice maker
arm, causing the ice maker to malfunction.
Turn off the ice maker when the water supply is to be shut off
for several hours.
Refrigerator Operation
Lift the drawer front upward
3.
and off the screws.
