Precautions When Freezing Food
Before putting hot food into the freezer, cool it to room temperature.
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.
Separate food into small batches to make it easier to freeze and defrost for later. Do not freeze in batched larger than 5.5 lbs. each.
Take food form the freezer to defrost when needed. Defrosted food cannot be frozen again unless it is cooked. Otherwise, it will affect food quality and safety.
Before freezing food, it is better to pack it securely and make sure the outside of the package is dry. The packing material should be flavorless, airproof, nontoxic, and
Do not put too much fresh food into the freezer at once. This could go beyond the freezer’s cooling capacity.
Using the Ice Maker and Cold Water Dispenser
Preparations Before Using the Ice Maker and Cold Water Dispenser
Cut the water pipe according to need, and avoid bending the water pipe too much. Usually the length should be less than 18 ft (5 m). If the water pipe is too long, the ice and water content are affected because of low water pressure.
The water pipe cannot stand heat. Keep it away from heat sources. You may want to have a service engineer install the water pipe.
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 the water valve. Cold water will begin to flow from the outlet.
Water supply pipe instruction: The cold water pressure should be 21 - 123 psi for automatic ice making. 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
To prevent the pipe form freezing, do not install the water pipe in a place below 32 °F.
Open water valve to flush pipe, and check leakage in water pipe joints until water is clean.
When temperature of ice maker is equal to or below 5 °F, the ice maker 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.)
After the refrigerator is installed, put the water supply pipe in a proper place to prevent pressing and damage. The filter in the water pipe is there to filter impurities in the water and to make the ice chlorine and odor free. After a long time of usage, if the cubed ice becomes smaller, it may mean that the filter is blocked from the water impurities. After about 6 months of use, the “Change Filter” indicator light will turn on. At this time, we suggest you call the number on the filter or go to an authorized Haier
The ice maker should only be connected to a source of drinkable water.
