BEFORE USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR

It is important to prepare your refrigerator for use. This section will tell you how to clean it, connect it to a power source, install it, and level it.

Cleaning it
Clean your refrigerator before using it, if necessary. See cleaning instructions on page 17.

Plugging it in

Recommended Grounding Method

  1. A 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only 15 or 20 ampere fused and properly grounded electrical supply is required. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided.
  2. Use a receptacle that cannot be turned off with a switch or pull chain. Do not use an extension cord.

See the Electrical Requirements and Grounding Instructions Sheet in your Literature Package.

Installing it

  1. Allow½ inch (1.25 cm) space on each side and at the top of the refrigerator for ease of installation.
  2. If the refrigerator is to be against a wall, you might want to leave extra space on the hinge side closest to the wall so the door can be opened wider.
  3. The refrigerator can be flush against the wall.

BEFORE USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR

Using the automatic ice maker
(Factory-installed on ED22ZRr optional on ED20PK and ED20ZK)

If you have the automatic ice maker accessory
(Part No. ECKMF-90), or if you plan to add one later, there are a few things you will want to know:

The ON/OFF lever is a wire signal arm.

  1. Down … to make ice automatically.
  2. Up … to shut off the ice maker.

NOTE : Do not turn the ice maker on until it is connected to the water supply, Instructions for ice maker water supply hook-up are attached to the back of the refrigerator cabinet.

  • The dial or lever on the side of the ice maker changes the size of the cubes.
  • Shake the bin occasionally to keep cubes separated and to obtain increased storage capacity.
  • It is normal for ice crescents to be attached by a corner. They will break apart easily.
  • You will hear water running when the ice maker is working. You’ll hear ice fall into the bin. Don’t let these sounds bother you.
  • The ice maker will not operate until the freezer is cold enough to make ice. This can take overnight.
  • Because of new plumbing connections, the first ice may be discolored or off-flavored. Discard the first few batches of ice.
  • If ice is not being made fast enough and more ice is needed, turn the Refrigerator Control toward a higher number. Wait a day and, if necessary, turn the Freezer Control toward C.
  • If you remove the ice bin, raise the signal arm to shut off the ice maker. When you return the bin, push it in all the way and lower the signal arm to the ON position.
  • If cubes are stored too long, they may develop an off-flavor … like stale water. Throw them away. The ice maker will make new ice. Cubes in the ice bin can also become smaller by evaporation.
  • Good water quality is important for good ice quality. It is not recommended that the ice maker be connected to a softened water supply. Water softener chemicals, such as salt from a malfunctioning softener, can damage the ice maker mold and lead to poor ice quality. If a softened water supply cannot be avoided, it is important that the water softener be well-maintained and operating properly.

Using the ice dispenser ED22zR

WARNING
Personal Injury Hazard
Tumbling ice and pressure on a fragile glass can break it. Do not use a fragile glass when dispensing ice. Doing so could result in personal injury or breakage.

Ice is dispensed from the ice maker storage bin in the freezer. When the dispenser bar is pressed, a trapdoor opens in a chute between the dispenser and the ice bin. Ice is moved from the bin and falls through the chute. When the dispenser bar is released, a buzzing sound may be heard for a few seconds as the trapdoor closes. The dispensing system will not operate when the freezer door is open.

NOTE: Large amounts of ice should be taken from the ice bin, not through the dispenser.

To dispense ice:

  1. Press a sturdy glass against the ice dispenser bar. Hold the glass close to the dispenser opening so ice does not fall outside of the glass.
  2. Remove the glass to stop dispensing.

NOTE : The first few batches of ice may have an off-taste from new plumbing and parts. Throw the ice away.

Removing the ice maker storage bin

Remove, empty, and clean the storage bin if:

  • the ice dispenser has not, or will not, be used for a week or more.
  • a power failure causes ice in the bin to melt and freeze together.
  • the ice dispenser is not used regularly.

To remove the ice bin:

  1. Pull the covering panel out from the bottom and slide it to the rear.
  2. Lift the signal arm so it clicks into the OFF {up) position. Ice can still be dispensed, but no more can be made.
  3. Lift the front of the storage bin and pull it out.
  4. Empty the ice bin. Use hot or warm water to melt the ice if necessary. Never use anything sharp to break up ice in the bin. This can damage the bin and dispenser mechanism.
  5. Wash with mild detergent. Rinse well. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners or solvents.
  6. When replacing the bin, make sure ~ is pushed in all the way. Then push the signal arm down to the ON position to restart ice production.

Understanding the 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 describes the kinds of sounds that might be new to you, and what may be making them.

Slight hum, soft hiss
You may hear the refrigerator’s fan motor and moving air.

Clicking or snapping sounds
The thermostat makes a definite click when the refrigerator stops running. It also makes a sound when the refrigerator starts. The defrost timer will click when the defrost cycle starts.

Water sounds
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.

Ice maker sounds

  • trickling water
  • thud (clatter of ice)

If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker, you may hear buzzing (from the water valve), trickling water and the clatter of ice dumped into the bin.

Running sounds
Your refrigerator has a high-efficiency compressor and motor. It will run longer than older designs. It may even seem to run most of the time.

Saving energy
You can help your refrigerator use less electricity.

  • Check door gaskets for a tight seal. Level the cabinet to be sure of a good seal.
  • Clean the condenser coils regularly.
  • Open the door as few times as possible. Think about what you need before you open the door.
  • Go ahead and fill up the refrigerator, but don’t overcrowd 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.
  • Make sure your refrigerator is not next to a heat source such as a range, water heater, furnace, radiator or in direct sunlight.

Get everything out at one time. Keep food organized so you won’t have to search for what you want. Close the door as soon as food is removed.

CARING FOR YOUR REFRIGERATOR

Your refrigerator is built to give you many years of dependable service. However, there are a few things you can do to help extend its product life. This section will tell you how to clean your refrigerator and what to do when going on vacation, moving, or during a power outage.

Cleaning your refrigerator
Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost automatically. But both should be cleaned about once a month to help prevent odors from building up. Spills should be wiped up right away. To clean your refrigerator, turn the Refrigerator Control to OFF, unplug it, take out all removable parts, and clean the refrigerator according to the following directions.

WARNING
Personal Injury Hazard
Refrigeration system tubes are located near the defrost pan and can become hot. Remove and install the defrost pan carefully. Failure to do so could result in personal injury.

Vacation and moving care

Long vacations

  1. Remove all the food if you are going for a month or more. If your refrigerator is equipped with an automatic ice maker, turn off the water supply to the ice maker at least once day ahead. When the last load of ice drops, turn off the ice maker.
  2. Make sure all ice is dispensed out of the mechanism.
  3. Unplug the refrigerator. Clean it, rinse well and dry. Tape rubber or wood blocks to the tops of both doors to prop them open far enough for air to get in. This will keep odor and mold from building up.

AWARNING
Personal Injury Hazard
Do not allow children to climb on, play near, or climb inside the refrigerator when the doors are blocked open. They may become injured or trapped.

To restart the refrigerator, see “Using Your Refrigerator” on page 7.

Short vacations
No need to shut off the refrigerator if you will be away for less than four weeks. Use up perishables; freeze other items. If you have an automatic ice maker:

  1. Turn off your ice maker by raising the signal arm.
  2. Shut off the water supply to the ice maker.
  3. Empty the ice bin.

Moving

  1. If your refrigerator is equipped with an automatic ice maker, shut off the ice maker water supply at least a day ahead. Disconnect the water line.
  2. After the last load of ice drops, lift the signal arm to turn off the ice maker.
  3. Remove all food. Pack frozen food in dry ice.
  4. Unplug the refrigerator and clean it thoroughly.
  5. Take out all removable parts. Wrap all parts well and tape them together so they don’t shift and rattle. Screw in the leveling legs; tape the doors shut; and tape the electric cord to the cabinet.
  6. When you get to your new home, put everything back and refer to page 5. Also, if you have an automatic ice maker, remember to reconnect the water supply line.

Power interruptions
If the electricity goes off, call the power company. Ask how long the power will be off.

  1. If service is to be interrupted 24 hours or less, keep both doors closed. This will help foods stay frozen.
  2. If service is to be interrupted longer than 24 hours:
  3. Remove all frozen food and store in a frozen food locker. OR
  4. Place 2 lbs. (0.9 kg) of dry ice in the freezer for every cubic foot of freezer space. This will keep food frozen for 2 to 4 days. Wear gloves to protect your hands from dry ice burns. OR
  5. If neither a food locker or dry ice is available, use or can perishable food at once.
  6. A full freezer will stay cold longer than a partly filled one. A freezer full of meat will stay cold longer than a freezer full of baked goods. If food contains ice crystals, it may be safely refrozen, although the quality and flavor may be affected. If the condition of the food is poor or if you feel it is unsafe, dispose of it.

**Food Storage Guide

**

There is a correct way to package and store refrigerated or frozen food. To keep food fresher, and longer, take the time to study these recommended steps.

Storing fresh food
Food placed in the refrigerator should be wrapped or stored in air and moisture-proof material. This prevents food odor and taste transfer throughout the refrigerator. For dated products, check the code date to ensure freshness.

Leafy vegetables
Remove store wrapping and trim or tear off bruised and discolored areas. Wash in cold water and drain. Place in a plastic bag or plastic container and store in a crisper.

Vegetables with skins
(carrots, peppers)
Store in crisper, plastic bags, or plastic containers.

Fruit
Wash, let dry, and store in the refrigerator in plastic bags or crisper. 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.

Eggs
Store without washing in the original carton on the interior shelf.

Milk
Wipe milk cartons. For best storage, place milk on the interior shelf.

Butter or margarine
Keep opened butter in a covered dish or closed compartment. When storing an extra supply, wrap it in freezer packaging and freeze it.

Cheese
Store in the original wrapping until you are ready to use it. Once opened, rewrap tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil.

Leftovers
Cover leftovers with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Plastic containers with tight lids can also be used.

Meat
Most meat can be stored in original wrapping as long as it is air and moisture-proof. Rewrap if necessary. See the following chart for storage times.

*If meat is to be stored longer than the times given, follow the directions for freezing.

NOTE : Fresh fish and shellfish should be used the same day as purchased.

Storing frozen food
The freezer section is designed for storage of commercially frozen food and for freezing food at home. For further information about preparing food for freezing, contact your local Cooperative Extension Service or check a freezer guide or cookbook.

Packaging
The secret of successful freezing is in the packaging. The way you close and seal the package must not allow air or moisture in or out. Packaging done in any other way could cause food odor and taste transfer throughout the refrigerator and drying of frozen food.

Packaging recommended for use:

  • Rigid plastic containers with tight-fitting lids
  • Straight-sided canning/freezing jars
  • Heavy-duty aluminum foil
  • Plastic-coated paper
  • Non-permeable plastic wraps (made from a saran film)

Follow package or container instructions for proper freezing methods.

Do not use:

  • Bread wrappers
  • Non-polyethylene plastic containers
  • Containers without tight lids
  • Waxed paper
  • Waxed-coated freezer wrap
  • Thin, semi-permeable wrap

The use of these wrappings could cause food odor, taste transfer, and drying of frozen food.

Freezing
Do not expect your freezer to quickly freeze any large quantity of food. Put no more unfrozen food into the freezer than will freeze within 24 hours. (No more than 2 to 3 pounds of food per cubic foot of freezer space.) Leave enough space for air to circulate around packages. Be careful to leave enough room at the front so the door can close tightly.

FOOD STORAGE GUIDE

Freezer food storage chart
Storage times will vary according to the quality of the food, the type of packaging or wrap used (air and moisture-proof), and the storage temperature which should be 0°F (-17.8°C).

Remember:
Motor running time depends on different things: number of door openings, amount of food stored, temperature of the room, setting of controls, etc. Your new refrigerator may be larger than your old one so it has more space to be cooled. It also has a regular freezer instead of a frozen food compartment. All this means better refrigeration and may require more running time than your old one.
