Ice cube trays
(RT12DC and RT14DK)
Remove ice by slightly twisting the tray
with both hands.
NOTE: The longer ice cubes are stored,
the smaller they get. Slow evaporation is
caused by the movement of cold air.
Automatic ice maker
Model RT14DM includes a factoryinstalled ice maker. The ice maker is an
optional accessory for model RT14DK.
Connect the ice maker to the water
supply before turning it on.
The ON/OFF lever is a wire signal
arm. Lower signal arm to make ice.
Raise signal arm to turn off the ice
maker.
Freezer must be cold enough for the
ice maker to work. This may take
eight hours or more before the
correct temperature is reached.
“First" ice may be discolored or off-
flavored because of new plumbing
coimections. Throw away first few
batches of ice.
Change ice cube size with the dial
or lever on the side of the ice maker.
Ice crescents are normally attached
at the corner. They break apart
easily.
Normal soimds include water
running when the ice maker is
working and the thud of ice as it
falls into the bin.
If ice is not being made fast enough
and more ice is needed, turn the
Refrigerator Control to a higher
number. Wait 24 hours, and if this
does not increase the ice supply,
turn the Freezer Control to A.
Raise the signal arm before you
remove the ice bin. When you
replace the bin, push it in aU the
way. Then lower the arm to the ON
position.
Cubes left in the bin for long
periods of time may develop an off
flavor, like stale water. Throw old
cubes away. Cubes may also
become smaller if stored for a long
time.
Good water guality is important for
good ice quality. It is not
recommended that you connect the
ice maker to a softened water
supply. If a softened water supply
cannot be avoided, it is important to
maintain the water softener so it
operates properly. Water softener
chemicals, such as salt from a
malfunctioning softener, can
damage the ice maker mold and
lead to poor quality ice.
Changing the light bulb
Awarning
Electrical Shock Hazard
Unplug the refrigerator or
disconnect the main electric power
supply to the refrigerator before
changing a bulb. Failure to do so
can result in electrical shock or
injury.
supply.
2. Remove the bulb from the socket
located behind the Control Console
and throw the bumed-out bulb
away.
3. Replace with a 40-watt appliance
bulb.
4. Recormect power supply.
NOTE: Not aU commercial appliance
bulbs will fit your refrigerator. Be sure to
replace a bulb with one of the same size
and shape.

Normal operating sounds
You can expect to hear the following
sounds when your refrigerator is
operating:
■ Slight hum or soft hiss as the
refrigerator's fan motor moves air.
■ Clickiiig or snapping soimds occur
when the refrigerator starts and
stops rurming. The defrost timer
also clicks when the defrost cycle
starts and stops.
■ Water sounds occur as water
gurgles through tubing for a few
minutes after refrigerator stops
running. You may also hear defrost
water rurming into the defrostwater pan.
■ Buzzing sounds (from the ice maker
water valve), trickling water and
clatter (or thud) of ice may be heard
if you have an ice maker.
Food Storage Guide
■ Operating sounds from the high
efficiency compressor and motor. It
may run longer than your older
refrigerator.
Energy saving tips
■ Check the door gaskets for a tight
seal. Level the refrigerator to be
sure of a good seal.
■ Clean dust and lint from the
condenser coils every other month.
■ Open the doors as seldom as
possible. Decide what you need
before you open the door. Remove
everything you need at one time.
Organize and label food so you will
not have to search for items you
want. Close door immediately after
you remove food items.
■ Store food in the refrigerator and
freezer so that air movement is not
blocked.
■ Set the refrigerator and freezer
temperatures so that the drinks
remain cold enough for your
family's taste and ice cream
remains firm. Do Not set
temperatures colder than they need
to be.
■ Set the Exterior Moisture Control to
the OFF position unless moisture
forms on the outside of the
refrigerator.
■ Do Not install your refrigerator next
to your range, water heater,
furnace, radiator, other heat sources
or in direct sunhght.
Reversing the door swing
(RT14DK and RT14DM)
Change the direction the doors swing by
following the instruction sheet in the
literature package.
Storing fresh food
Food placed in the refrigerator should be
wrapped or stored in air and moisture
proof material. This prevents food odor
and taste transfer throughout the
refrigerator. For dated products, check
code date to ensure freshness.
Vegetables
For leafy vegetables: remove store
wrapping and 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. For
vegetables with skins: store in crisper,
plastic bags or plastic container.
Fruit
Wash, let dry and store in refrigerator in
plastic bags or crisper. Do not wash or
hull berries until they are ready to use.
Sort and keep berries in their store
container in a crisper, or store in a
loosely closed paper bag on a
refrigerator shelf.
Eggs
Store without washing in the original
carton on interior shelf or in egg nest (on
some models).
Milk
Wipe milk cartons. For best storage,
place milk on interior shelf.
Butter or margarine
Keep opened butter in covered dish or
butter compartment. When storing an
extra supply, wrap in freezer packaging
and freeze.
Page 6
Cheese
Store in the original wrapping until you
are ready to use it. Once opened, rewrap
tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foU.
Meat
Most meat can be stored in original
wrapping as long as it is air and moisture
proof. Rewrap if necessary. See the
following chart for storage times.

Leftovers
Cover leftovers with plastic wrap or
aluminum foil. Plastic containers with
tight lids can also be used.
Storing frozen food
The freezer section is designed for
storage of commercially frozen food and
for freezing food at home. For further
information about preparing food for
freezing or food storage times, contact
your local Cooperative Extension Service
or check a freezer guide or cookbook.
Packaging
The secret of successful freezing is in
the packaging. The way you close and
seal the package must not allow air or
moisture in or out. Packaging done in
any other way could cause food odor and
taste transfer throughout the refrigerator
and drying of frozen food.
Rigid plastic containers with tight fitting
lids, straight-sided canning/freezing jars,
heavy-duty aluminum foil, plastic-coated
paper and nonpermeable plastic wraps
(made from a saran film) are recom
mended. Follow package or container
instructions for proper freezing methods.
Do not use: bread wrappers, non-rigid
plastic containers, containers without
tight-fitting hds, waxed paper, waxcoated freezer wrap or thin, semi
permeable wrap. The use of these
wrappings could cause food odor and
taste transfer and drying of frozen food.
Freezing
Do not expect your freezer to quickfreeze any large quantity of food. Put no
more unfrozen food into the freezer than
will freeze within 24 hours. (No more
than 2 to 3 pounds of food per cubic foot
of freezer space.) Leave enough space
for air to circulate around packages. Be
careful to leave enough room at the front
so the door can close tightly. Storage
times will vary according to the quality
of the food, type of packaging or wrap
used (air and moisture proof), and
storage temperature which should be
0°F (-17.8°C).

Cleaning Your Refrigerator
Both the refrigerator and freezer
sections defrost automatically. To help
prevent odors, wipe up spills
immediately. Clean both sections once a
month.
1. Turn Refrigerator Control to OFF
and unplug power cord.
2. Take out all removable parts and
clean according to the following
directions:
^WARNING
Electrical Shock and Product Damage Hazard
■ Unplug power supply cord or disconnect power supply at the fuse or circuit

Caring For Your Refrigerator
If electricity goes off
1. Call the power company.
Ask how long power will be off.
2. Keep freezer closed if service is to
be interrupted 24 hours or less.
This will help food will stay frozen.
3. If service is to be interrupted
longer than 24 hours, do this;
Remove all frozen food and store in
a frozen food locker;
OR
Place 2 lbs. (0.9 kg) of dry ice in
freezer for every cubic foot of
freezer space. This will keep foods
frozen for 2 to 4 days.
A WARNING
Personal Injury Hazard
Wear gloves to protect your hands
from dry ice bums. Failure to do so
could result in dry ice bums.
OR
If dry ice or a food locker is not
available, use or can perishable
food at once.
NOTE: A full freezer stays colder longer
than a partly filled one. A freezer full of
meat stays colder longer than a freezer
full of baked goods.
Food containing ice crystals may be
safely refrozen, but the quahty and flavor
of the food may be affected.
Use refrozen food quickly. If the
condition of the food is poor, or you feel
it is unsafe to eat, dispose of it
inunediately.
