This section tells you how to set the temperature control, remove and adjust some of the features in your refrigerator, and how to save energy. Setting the temperature control The Temperature Control is in the refrigera- tor. It controls the temperature in both the refrigerator and freezer compartments. When you plug in the refrigerator for the first time: 1. Set the Temperature Control to 3 (nor- mal). Temperature Control adjustments range from 1 (warmest) to 5 (coldest). NOTE: Turning the Temperature Control to OFF stops cooling in both the refrigera- tor and freezer compartments, but it does not disconnect the refrigerator from the power supply. 2. Give the refrigerator time to cool down completely before adding food. This could take several hours. 3. Adjust the Temperature Control to have food as cold as you like. The settings indicated above should be correct for normal, household refrigerator usage. NOTE: The built-in exterior moisture control continuously guards against moisture build- up on the outside of the refrigerator cabinet. 8

The refrigerator shelves can be adjusted to

match the way you use your refrigerator. To remove the shelves: 1. Remove items from the shelf. 2. Slide shelf straight out to the stop. 3. Lii back of shelf over stop. 4. Slide shelf out the rest of the way. To replace the shelves: 1. Slide back of shelf into shelf track in wall of cabinet. 2. Guide front of shelf into shelf track. 3. Slide shelf in all the way. Removing the crispers and cover To remove the crispers: 1. Slide crispers straight out to the stop. 2. Lift the front. 3. Slide out the rest of the way. 4. Replace in reverse order. To remove the cover: 1. Lift cover front and remove the cover support. 2. Lift cover up and slide out. To replace the cover: 1. Fit cover tabs into lowest cabinet slots and push in. Lower the front retainers into place. 2. Insert cover support (with the long tab toward the front) into the groove on the underside of the cover. NOTE: If the support needs adjustment, turn base clockwise to raise or counter- clockwise to lower. Lift cover front, then the back. 9

If you don’t use the cubes, they may shrink.

The moving cold air starts a slow evapora- tion. The longer you store cubes, the smaller they get. To remove ice: 1. Hold tray at both ends. 2. Twist slightly. Using the automatic ice maker (Optional on RT14DK, RT14EK, RTl4HD, and RT14GD, factory-installed on RT14DM) If you have an automatic ice maker, or if you plan to add one later, there are a few things you will want to know: l For models RT14DK, RT14EK, RT14HD and RT14GD: The aluminum water inlet tube, supplied with your refrigerator, is in the rear bottom of the refrigerator, on the compressor support plate. Use this tube instead of the tube provided in the acces- sory kii. l The ON/OFF lever is a wire signal arm. DOWN to make ice automatically UP to shut off the ice maker IMPORTANT: Do not turn 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. l The dial or lever on the side of the ice maker changes the size of the cubes. l Good water quality is important for good ice quality. Try to avoid connecting the ice maker 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, make sure that the water softener is well maintained and operating properly. 10

Off-taste or odor in ice l New plumbing connections can cause discolored or off- flavored ice. Discard the first few batches of ice. l Cubes are stored too long. Throw them away and make a new supply. . Foods in freezer are not wrapped properly. See “Food Storage Guide” on pages 16 and 17. l Freezer and ice bin need to be cleaned. See pages 13 and 14. Changing the light bulb Electrical Shock Hazard Before removing a light bulb, either unplug the refrigerator or disconnect the electricity leading to the refrigera- ~ tor at the main power supply. Turning the Temperature Control to the OFF position does not disconnect the refrigerator from the power supply. Failure to do so could result in electri- cal shock or personal injury. To change the refrigerator light: 1. Disconnect refrigerator from power supply. 2. Reach behind the Control Panel to remove bulb. 3. Replace with a 40-watt appliance bulb. 4. Reconnect refrigerator to power supply. NOTE: Not all commercial appliance bulbs will fit your refrigerator. Be sure to replace a bulb with one of the same size, wattage and shape. 11

(not for RTMEK)

You can change the hinges on your refrig- erator so the doors open the other way. Refer to the instruction sheet included with your refrigerator. 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 l trickling water l thud (clatter of ice) If your refrigerator has an ice maker, you may hear buzzing (from the water valve), trickling water and the clatter of ice dumped into the bin. Saving energy You can help your refrigerator use less electricity. l Check door gaskets for a tight seal. Level the cabinet to be sure of a good seal. l Clean the condenser coils regularly. l 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 food organized so you won’t have to search for what you want. Close door as soon as food is removed. l Go ahead and fill up the refrigerator, but don’t overcrowd it so air movement is blocked. l It is a waste of electricity to set the refrig- erator 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 cokl enough. l Make sure your refrigerator is not next to a heat source such as a range, water heater, furnace, radiator or in direct sunlight. 12

If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker: l Raise signal arm to OFF (up) position. l Shut off water supply to ice maker. l Empty the ice bin. 14

If you will be gone a month or more:

1. Remove all food from the refrigerator. 2. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker: l Turn off the water supply to the ice maker at least one day ahead of time. . When the last load of ice drops, turn off the ice maker. Make sure all ice is dis- pensed out of the ice maker mecha- nism. 3. Unplug the refrigerator. 4. Clean it, rinse well and dry. 5. Tape rubber or wood blocks to the tops of both doors to prop them open far enough for air to get in. This stops odor and mold from building up. 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 refrigerator, see “Using Your Refrigerator” on page 6. Moving When you are moving the refrigerator to a new home: 1. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker: l Turn off the water supply to the ice maker at least one day ahead of time. l Disconnect the water line. l After the last load of ice drops, lift the signal arm to the OFF (up) position. 2. Remove all food from the refrigerator. 3. Pack all frozen food in dry ice. 4. Unplug the refrigerator. 5. Clean it thoroughly. Rinse well and dry. 6. Take out all removable parts, wrap them well, and tape them together so they don’t shift and rattle. 7. Screw in the leveling rollers. 8. Tape the doors shut and tape the power supply cord to the cabinet. When you get to your new home, put everything back and refer to page 6. Also, if your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker, remember to reconnect the water supply line. Power interruptions If electricity goes off, call the power com- pany. Ask how long power will be off. 1. If service will be interrupted 24 hours or less, keep both doors closed. This helps food stay frozen. 2. If service will be interrupted longer than 24 hours: (a) Remove all frozen food and store in a frozen food locker. OR (b) Place 2 Ibs. (0.9 kg) of dry ice in 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 (c) If neither a food locker or dry ice is available, use or can perishable food at once. 3. A full freezer stays cold longer than a partly filled one. A freezer full of meat stays 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. Questions I Call our toll-free telephone number, 1-800-44-ROPER. 15

There is a correct way to package and store refrigerated or frozen food. To keep food fresher,

longer, take the time to study these recommended steps. Storing fresh food Wrap or storefood placed in the refrigerator in airtight and moisture-proof material. This prevents food odor and taste transfer throughout the refrigerator. For dated products, check code date to ensure fresh- ness. 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. Vegetables with skins (carrots, peppers) Store in crisper, plastic bags or plastic container. Fruit Wash, let dry and store in refrigerator in plastic bags or crisper. Do not wash or hull berries until they are ready to use. Sort and keep berries in their original container in a crisper, or store in a loosely closed paper bag on a refrigerator shelf. E%Js Store without washing in the original carton on interior shelf. Milk Wipe milk cartons. For best storage, place milk on interior shelf. Butter or margarine Keep opened butter in covered dish or closed compartment. When storing an extra supply, wrap in freezer packaging and freeze. 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 alumi- num foil. Plastic containers with tight lids can also be used. Meat Store most meat in original wrapping as long as it is airtight and moisture-proof. Rewrap if necessary. See the following chart for storage times. APPROXIMATE TIME TYPE (DAYS)* Chicken 1 to 2 Ground beef 1 to 2 Steaks and roasts 3 to 5 Cured meats 7to10 Bacon 5 to 7 Cold cuts 3 to 5 Variety meats 1 to2 ‘If storing meat longer than the times given, follow the directions for freezing. NOTE: Use fresh fish and shellfish the same day as purchased. 16

The freezer section is designed for storage

of commercially frozen food and for freezing food at home. NOTE: For further information about prepar- ing food for freezing or food storage times, contact your local Cooperative Extension Service or check a freezer guide or reliable 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 through- out the refrigerator and drying of frozen food. Packaging recommended for use: l Rigid plastic containers with tight-fitting lids l Straight-sided canning/freezing jars l Heavy-duty aluminum foil l Plastic-coated paper l Non-permeable plastic wraps (made from a Saran film) Follow package or container instructions for proper freezing methods. Do not use: l Bread wrappers 9 Non-polyethylene plastic containers l Containers without tight lids l Waxed paper l Waxed-coated freezer wrap l 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 quick-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. Storage times will vary according to the quality of the food, the type of packaging or wrap used (airtight and moisture-proof) and the storage temperature, which should be 0°F (-17.8%). 17
