Do not wash or cut berries until they are ready to use. Sort and keep berries in original container in crisper, or store in a loosely closed paper bag on a refrigerator shelf. ■■ Vegetables with skins: Place in plastic bag or plastic container and store in crisper. Humidity Level - Max Setting MAX (closed) keeps moist air in the crisper for best storage of fresh, leafy vegetables. ■■ Leafy vegetables: Wash in cold water, drain and trim or tear off bruised and discolored areas. Place in plastic bag or plastic container and store in crisper. ICE AND WATER Ice Maker (on some models - Accessory) ■■ Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the first three batches of ice produced. ■■ The quality of your ice will be only as good as the quality of the water supplied to your ice maker. Avoid connecting the ice maker to a softened water supply. Water softener chemicals such as salt) can damage parts of the ice maker and lead to poor quality ice. If a softened water supply cannot be avoided, make sure the water softener is operating properly and is well maintained. ■■ Do not use anything sharp to break up the ice in the storage bin. This can cause damage to the ice container and the dispenser mechanism. ■■ Do not store anything on top of or in the ice maker or storage bin. ■■ To turn on the ice maker, lift open the ice maker door, flip the switch to the On (right) position. ■■ To manually turn off the ice maker, lift open the ice maker door, flip, the switch to the Off (left) position. Ice can still be dispensed, but no more can be made. NOTE: Your ice maker has an automatic shutoff to keep the storage bin from overfilling during normal operation. As ice is made, the ice cubes will fill the ice storage bin, and the ice cubes will raise the shutoff arm to the Off (arm up) position. When the storage bin is at full capacity, the ice maker will automatically stop ice production, but the ice maker On/Off switch will remain in the On position. Turning the Ice Maker On/Off The On/Off switch is located on the bottom of the Ice Maker, can be accessed by lifting and opening the ice maker door. REFRIGERATOR CARE Cleaning WARNING Explosion Hazard Use nonflammable cleaner. Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire. Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost automatically. However, clean both sections about once a month to avoid buildup of odors. Wipe up spills immediately. IMPORTANT: Because air circulates between both sections, any odors formed in one section will transfer to the other. You must thoroughly clean both sections to eliminate odors. To avoid odor transfer and drying out of food, wrap or cover foods tightly. To Clean Your Refrigerator: NOTE: Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window sprays, scouring cleansers, flammable fluids, cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches or cleansers containing petroleum products on plastic parts, interior and door liners or gaskets. Do not use paper towels, scouring pads, or other harsh cleaning tools. 1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power. 2. Hand wash, rinse, and dry removable parts and interior surfaces thoroughly.
