Ice cube trays.. .

If cubes are not used, they may shrink. The

cold air starts a slow evaporation. The longe

are stored, the smaller they get.

To remove ice:

Hold tray at both ends.

Sounds you may hear.. .

Your new refrigerator may make sounds that your old 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 normal. Hard surfaces like

the floor, walls and cabinets can make the sounds seem louder.

The following chart describes the kinds of sounds that might be new

to you, and what may be making them.

Possible Sounds:

Water Sounds:

Probable Causes:

When the refrigerator stops running, you may hear gurgling in the tubing for a

few minutes after it stops. You may also hear defrost water running into the

defrost water pan.

Running Sounds: Your refrigerator has a high-efficiency compressor and motor. It will run longer

than older desians. It may even seem to run most of the time.

Energy saving tips...

You can help your refrigerator use less electricity

Check door gaskets for a tight seal. Level the cabi-

net to be sure of a good seal.

Clean the condenser coil regularly

Open the door as few times as possible. 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.

Close door as soon as food is removed.

Go ahead and fill up the refrigerator, but don’t over-

crowd it so air movement is blocked.

It is a waste of electricity to set the refrigerator and

freezer to temperatures colder than they need to

be. If ice cream is firm in the freezer and drinks are

as cold as your family likes them, that’s cold enough.

QKeep the Power Saving Control on OFF unless

moisture forms on the refrigerator exterior

Make sure your refrigerator is not next to a heat

source such as a range, water heater, furnace, radi-

ator, or in direct sunlight.

Cleaning your

refrigerator

The freezer section of your refrigerator needs

defrosting from time to time. The fresh food section

defrosts automatically

Both the fresh food and freezer compart-

ments should be cleaned about once a month to

help prevent odors from building up. Of course, spills

should be wiped up right away

To clean your refrigerator. turn the Temperature

Control to “OFF:’ Unplug it, take out all removable

parts and clean it according to the following chart

There is a cold plate on the back wall at the top

of the fresh food compartment. When the refrigerator

motor runs, frost collects on the cold plate. When the

mot& turns off, the

frost melts.

Water from this

melted frost drips

into a drain trough

just below the cold

plate. Then it runs

down the back wall

and through a drain

just above the cris-

per. The drain leads

to a defrost water

pan on top of the

refrigerator motor.

Heat from the motor evaporates

the water.

Remove

‘/

Force Soda/Water

Solution Through

Drain

If the drain be-

comes clogged, re-

move the drain cap.

Force warm water

mixed with baking

soda through the drain

until the water flows

through freely. Replace

the cap. Make sure it is

pushed all the way

down.

Defrosting the freezer...

The

freezer section

should be defrosted when-

ever frost builds up to a Y4-inch (6 mm] thickness. DO

NOT USE ANY TYPE OF ELECTRIC DEFROSTER OR

SHARP UTENSILS[ICE PICK, KNIFE, ETC.) to speed de-

frosting. These can cause damage.

Defrost Drain

Put Pan of Hot Water

in Freezer fo Speed

Melting.

Put pan in Refrigerator

to Catch Defrost Water.

I. Put empty pan in the refrigerator on the top shelf in

the ten ter.

2. Move frozen food and ice to the refrigerator

section.

3. Turn the Temperature Control to “OFF?

4. Close the refrigerator door Leave the freezer door

open.

5. Put a pan of

hot

water in the center of the freezer.

This helps melt frost. Don’t place pan over drain

hole in &enter of freezer.

6. Defrost water will drain through a hole in the bottom

of the freezer into the pan you put in the refrigerator:

You may have to melt frost from the drain hole by

pouring a little hot water around the hole.

7. Wash the inside of the freezer with a solution of two

tablespoons (30 mg] of baking soda and one

quart (1L) warm water: Rinse well and dry

8. Remove the pan of defrost water from the re-

frigerator; put frozen food and ice back into

freezer.

9. Reset the Temperature Control.

Food storage guide

STORING FRESHFOOD

There is a right way to package and stofe refrig-

erated or frozen foods. To keep foods fresher, longer,

take the time to study these recommended steps.

Leafy Vegetables.

Remove store wrapping and

trim or tear off bruised and discolored areas. Wash in

cold water and drain Place in plastic bag or plastic

container and store in crisper. Cold, moist air helps

keep leafy vegetables fresh and crisp.

Vegetables with Skins

[carrots, peppers) Store

In crisper, plastic bags or plastic container.

Fruits

...Wash. let dry and store in refrigerator in

plastic bags OTcrisper. Do not wash or hull berries

until they are ready to use. Sort and keep berries In

their store container in a crisper, or store In a loosely

closed paper bag on a refrigerator shelf.

Meat-

Meat is perishable and expensive

you won’t want to waste an ounce of it through care-

less handling. The following list and chart give you

packaging hints and time limits.

Fresh, Prepackaged Meat.

Store fresh meat in

the store wrapplng. Vacuum packaged meat can

be frozen for as long as one month if the seal ISnot

broken. If you want to keep it frozen longer, you

should wrap it with special freezer wrapping material.

Fresh Meat, Not Prepackaged.

Remove the

market wrapping paper and re-wrap in aluminum foil

for storing it unfrozen.

Cooked Meat.

Wrap or cover cooked meat with

plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Store immediately

Cured or Smoked Meat and Cold

Cuts. Ham,

bacon, sausage, cold cuts, etc., keep best in origi-

nal wrappings. Once opened, tightly re-wrap In

plastic wrap or aluminum foil.

Canned Ham.

Store in refrigerator unless the la-

bel says It’s okay to store on the shelf. Do not freeze.

Fresh

Poultry...Wrap in plastic wrap. The plastic

wrap on poultry, as purchased, may be used for

storage.

Eggs

Store without washing in the origina

carton or use the egg nest in the door of you1

refrigerator

Milk...Wipe

milk cartons. For best storage, place

milk on interior shelf

Beverages.

.Wipe bottles and cans. Store on a

door shelf or inside the refrigerator

Butter.

.Keep opened butter in covered dish or In

the Butter Compartment. When storing an extra sup-

ply, wrap in freezer packaging and freeze.

Cheese

.Store in the original wrapping until

you are ready to use it. Once opened, re-wrap

tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil.

Condlments

.Store small jars and bottles (cat-

sup, mustard, jelly, olives] on the door shelves where

they are in easy reach.

Leftoven...Cover

leftovers with plastic wrap or

aluminum foil to keep food from drying out and

transferring food odors. Plastic containers with tight

lids are fine, too.

STORING FRO2EN FOOD

The freezer section is designed for storage of com-

mercially frozen foods and for freezlng foods at

home.

Packaging

-The secret of successful freezing IS

In the packaging. The wrap you use must be air.

moisture and vapor proof. The way you close and

seal the package must not allow air, moisture or

vapors in or out

Rigid polyethylene (plastrc) containers with trght-

fitting lids, strarght-sided canning/freezing jars,

heavy-duty aluminum fotl, plastic-coated paper and

non-permeable plastic wraps (such as Saran) are

recommended. Note: Heat-sealed boiling bags are

easy to use and can be used by themselves or as

carton loners

IMPORTANT: Do not expect your freezer to qulck-

freeze any large quantlty of food. leave enough

space for ah to circulate around packages. Be

careful to leave enough room at the front so the

door can close tlghtly.

Ice Cream..

Store In the freezer Once the pack-

age is opened, place a piece of aluminum foil or

plastic wrap smoothly against the Ice cream surface

This will prevent ice crystals from forming

Packaged Frozen Food

.Store on freezer door

shelf or in the freezer. If you plan to store it for a long

time, re-wrap it with aluminum foil or plastic wrap.

Frozen Meats*

The following hints will help

keep the quality in your frozen meats:

1. Freeze meat while fresh and in top condition.

2. Use only recommended wrapping materials.

3. Prepare the meat for freezing before wrap-

ping it. Trim off excess fat and remove bones

when practical. Meat should not be salted

because salt shortens freezer life.

4. Wrap tightly, pressing out as much air as

possible.

5. Label and date it.

6. Refreezing thawed meat

not recommended.

Frozen Soups, Juices

.Store on freezer door

shelf or in the freezer.
