1. FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, -nils APPLIANCE
Mum- BE

PROPERLYGROUNDED.

The power cord of this appliance is equipped with

a three-prong (grounding) plug which mates

with a standard three-prong (grounding) wail re­ceptacle (Fig. 1) to
minimize the possibil-

ity of electric shock

hazard from this appli­ance. Have the wall
receptacle checked by
a qualified electrician

to make sure the re­ceptacle is properly
grounded.

Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is en­countered, it is the personal responsibility and obli­gation of the customer to have it replaced with a
properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle.

Do IVOR UNDER ANY circumstances, cur OR
REMOVE THE?THIRD [GROUND] PRONG FROM
THE POWER CORD*

USAGE OF ADAPTER PLUG

Because of potential safety hazards under certain
conditions, we strongly recommend against the use
of an adapter plug. However, if you stiii eiect to use

anadapter,where iocaicodes permit, aTEiViFQRARY
CONN ECTiON may be made to a properiy grounded
two-prong waii receptacle by the use of a (JL iisted
adapter which is avaii­abie at most iocai hard­warestores (Fig.2).The

(AOAPTERPLUGSNOTPERMITTEDINCA~A)

USE OF EXTENSION CCIRDS–Because of poten­tial safety hazards under certain conditions, we
strongiy recommend against the use of an exten-

ease of installation. When building a new

home, consider providing water supply to
refrigerator location. It will simplify con­nection of optional automatic icernaker

should you wish to install one at a later date.
Your refrigerator should not be insta!led

where the temperature will go below 60°F.
because the refrigerator will not run fre­quently enough to maintain proper tem-

peratures.
Be sure to install on a floor strong enough

m support a fully loaded refrigerator.
Adjustable rollers, which enable you to

move your refrigerator away from the wall
for cleaning, or leveling legs of models
CTF18A and CTF~6C, are located behind
the grille. These rollers, or leveling legs,
should be set so that the refrigerator is

firmly positioned on the floor and the front
is raised just enough that the doors close

easily when opened about halfway.

TEMPERATURE GUIDE

If you turn your household thermost

down to 60° each evening, you may fi
it desirable to turn your lettered control

to colder setting by one letter, such as

from “C” to “D” and leave it at this set­ing during the entire period that you are

setting the household thermostat down

each evening. The numbered setting will
not likely need to be changed; however,
if you experience freezing in fresh food
compartment, you could set the numbered
control one number warmer— such as “5”
to “4:’

If a container of milk is too warm or too
cold to your taste after being on the top
shelf in the Fresh Food compartment for

a day, adjust the Cold Control Dials ac-

cordingly.
If a gallon of ice cream remains firm to the

touch after being in the I?reezer for a day,

the Coid Control Dials are at the proper
setting. If the ice cream’s firmness ismot to
your liking, adjust the dials accordingly.

Check a day after resetting either dial to
make sure new setting is providing the

temperature you desire.

If you advance the lettered Cold Control
Dial to “E” to freeze a

quicksupply of i

cubes or a large amount of food, be s

Fine-quality ice cream, with high cream
content, will normally require slightly low­er temperatures than more “airy” already­packed brands with low cream content. It
will be necessary to experiment to deter­mine the exact temperature control setting
to keep your favorite ice cream at the right
serving temperature. Also, the rear of the
freezer is slightly colder than the front.

AWUSTABLE SHELVES

(Shelves not adjustable on models
CTF18A and CTH6C)

Most Hotpoint No-Frost Refrigerators fea­ture adjustable shelves. This allows you to
vary the amount of space between shelves
and provides greater storage flexibility.

To adjust, remove shelf by tilting up at
front, then lifting up and out of the track
on the rear wall of the refrigerator as
illustrated in Fig. 10.

For only one or two cubes, leave tray right­side up, twist ends slightly and remove the
number of cubes desired.

TIPSONFREEZINGFOODS

There are three essential requirements for
efficient home freezing. First, of course, is
initial quality. Only top-quality foods

should be frozen. Freezing retains quality
and flavor; it cannot improve quality. Sec-

ond is speed. The quicker fruits and veg-

etables are frozen after picking, the better
rhe frozen product will be. You’ll save time,
ioo, because less culling and sorting will be
necessary. The third requirement is proper

packaging. Use food wraps designed espe­cially for freezing; they’re readily available
in a wide selection at your favorite store.

-i-clFREEZEMEAT, HSH,POULTRY

l~rap well in freezer-weight foil (or other

heavy-duty wrapping material), forming it
carefully to the shape of the contents. This
expels air. Fold and crimp ends of the pack-

NERGY-SAVER SWITCH

our refrigerator is equipped with an ener-

the refrigerator near the top of the fresh

food compartment {Fig.7).

I

I

I

The energy saver switch allows you to turn
on heaters to eliminate moisture which
may form on the exterior of the refriger-

ator under hot, humid conditions. This
switch should be Jeft in the “Normal” posi­tion to save energy except when moisture
does form. Remember to switch it back to

normal when the weather isno longer humid.

ENERGY-SAVINGTIPS

~ Keep energy saver switch on “Normal”

nfessmoisture forms on exterior of cabinet.

~ Don’t open doors more often than neces-

ry and close them as soon as possible,

particularly in hot, humid weather.

~ Store only foods requiring refrigeration
in your refrigerator.

~ Wipe all moisture from bottles and car-

tons before putting them into the refriger­ator, and keep all foods covered to reduce
moisture build-up inside refrigerator.

~ Don’t waste ice cubes by letting many
melt while using a few.

~ If you turn control to coldest position for
quick chilling or freezing, don’t forget to
turn it back to normal setting.

~ Don’t overcrowd your refrigerator— over­crowding can require extra e~ectrical energy
to keep everything cool.

o Before leaving the house or retiring for
[he night, check to be sure doors haven’t
been left ajar inadvertently.

* Don’t locate your refrigerator adjacent

[t>your range, a heating vent or where sun-

g.~+line will strike it

or cloth when cleaning in the vicinity of

switches, lightsor controls.

Use warm water and baking soda solution

—about a tablespoon of baking soda to a

quart of water. Rinse thoroughlywith water

and wipe dry. Follow this same procedure

for cleaning door gaskets, vegetable and

meat pans and all plastic parts. Wash ice

trays and ice storage bucket in lukewarm
water only.
Do not wash any plastic parts from your

refrigerator in your automatic dishwasher.
Outside-The stee~exterior is coated with

a high quality baked-on finish. However,
without proper care, degradation of this
finish can occur and permit rust spots to
form on the outside of the cabinet.
To keep your refrigerator new-looking and
provide protection for the exterior paint
finish, apply a coat of appliance polish wax

when the refrigerator is brand new and re­peat the application several times each
year. Proper care of the paint finish will

help maintain the new look and provide
protection against rusting. If the exterior

should become soiled, wipe off with a clean

cloth lightly dampened with appliance pol­ish or mild household detergent. Use a
clean, soft cloth to dry and polish the

cleaned surface.
