36 OPERATION
Normal Sounds You May Hear
• Keeping the power turned on to the icemaker
before the water line is connected can damage
the icemaker.
• The icemaker water valve buzzes as the
icemaker fills with water. If the icemaker power
button is in the ON position, it will buzz even if it
has not yet been hooked up to water. To stop the
buzzing, press the icemaker power button to
turn it off.
• You will hear the sound of ice dropping into the
bin and water running in the pipes as the
icemaker refills.
Preparing for Vacation
Set the icemaker power button to OFF and shut off
the water supply to the refrigerator.
NOTE
• The ice bin should be emptied any time the
icemaker power button is turned to the OFF
position.
If the ambient temperature will drop below
freezing, have a qualified technician drain the
water supply system to prevent serious property
damage due to flooding caused by ruptured water
lines or connections.
Storing Food
NOTE
• If you are leaving home for a short period, like a
short vacation, the refrigerator should be left on.
Refrigerated foods that are able to be frozen will
stay preserved longer if stored in the freezer.
• If you are leaving the refrigerator turned off for
an extended period, remove all food and unplug
the power cord. Clean the interior, and leave the
door open to prevent fungi from growing in the
refrigerator.
• If doors are opened or closed too often, warm
air may penetrate the refrigerator and raise its
temperature. This can increase the running costs
of the unit.
Food Storage Tips
Wrap or store food in the refrigerator in airtight
and moisture-proof material unless otherwise
noted. This prevents food odor and taste transfer
throughout the refrigerator. For dated products,
check date code to ensure freshness.
CAUTION
• Do not overfill or pack items too tightly into door
bins. Doing so may cause damage to the bin or
personal injury if items are removed with
excessive force.
• Do not store glass containers in the freezer.
Contents may expand when frozen, break the
container and cause injury.
How to Store Food
• 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 original wrapping until used. Once
opened, rewrap tightly in plastic wrap or
aluminum foil.
•Milk
- Wipe milk cartons. For coldest milk, place
containers on an interior shelf.
• Eggs

• Fruit
- Do not wash or hull fruit until it is ready to be

paper bag on refrigerator shelf.
• Leafy Vegetables
- Remove store wrapping, 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)
- Place in plastic bags or plastic container and
store in crisper.

foil, or store in plastic containers with tight
lids.
