Precaution when Freezing Food Before putting hot food into the freezer, cool it to room temperature. Separate food into small batches to make it easier to freeze and defrost for later. Do not freeze in batches larger than 5.5 lbs each. Before freezing food, it is better to pack it securely and make sure that the outside of the package is dry. The packing material should be flavorless, airproof, nontoxic, and contamination-free to avoid tainting the food inside. Write the date, expiration date, and food name on the outside of packing materials so you can be assured of the food and when it is safe to eat. Take food from the freezer to defrost when needed. Defrosted food cannot be frozen again unless it is cooked. Otherwise, it will affect food quality and safety. Do not put too much fresh food into the freezer at once. This could go beyond the freezer's cooling capacity. (Refer to "Technical Data.") Usage of Ice Maker and Cold Water Dispenser Preparation before using the ice maker and cold water dispenser: a.Cut the water pipe according to need, and avoid bending the water pipe too much. Usually the length should be less than 5 meters (18 feet). If the water pipe is too long, the ice content and cold water content are affected because there is not enough water pressure. b.The water pipe cannot stand heat. Keep it away from heat sources. c.You may want to have a service engineer install the water pipe. d.During the first use, in order to supply water to the fresh food compartment, press the cold water button several times for 1 minute each. Do not press the cold water button for longer than a minute, to prevent overheating of the water valve. Cold water will begin to flow from the outlet. e.Water supply pipe instruction: The cold water pressure should be 21-123 psi for automatic ice making. f.The purifier is only for filtering. It cannot sterilize or destroy anything.Therefore, make sure to connect the water pipe to a drinkable water source. Precautions a.To prevent the pipe from freezing, do not install the water pipe in place below 32°F. b.Open water valve to flush pipe, and check leakage in water pipe joints until water is clean. c.When temperature of icemaker is equal to or below 5°F, the icemaker will begin to make ice. (Throw out the first several batches of ice cubes if you make ice after not having made it for a long time.) d.After the fridge is installed, put the water supply pipe in a proper place to prevent pressing and damage. e.The filter in the water pipe is there to filter impurities in the water and to make ice clean and hygienic. Therefore, the filter will absorb impurities during normal use. After a long time of usage, if the cubed ice becomes smaller, it may mean that the filter is blocked from the impurities. After 6 months of use, the "Change Filter" indicator light will turn on. At this time, we suggest you go to an authorized Haier after-sale service center or shop to buy a new filter and change it. After you change the filter, the indicator light will turn off. The refrigerator comes with a filter installed; after this you have to buy and change the filter yourself. f.The icemaker should only be connected to a source of drinkable water.
