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 - Store in original carton on interior shelf, not on door shelf. • Fruit - Do not wash or hull fruit until it is ready to be used. Sort and keep fruit in original container in a crisper, or store in completely closed 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. • Fish - Freeze fresh fish and shellfish if they are not being eaten the same day purchased. Eating fresh fish and shellfish the same day purchased is recommended. • Leftovers - Cover leftovers with plastic wrap or aluminum foil, or store in plastic containers with tight lids.
