Precautions When Freezing Food; Using Ice Maker And Cold Water Dispenser - Haier PRCS25 Series User Manual

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.
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 after-sale service center to buy a new
filter. 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.
The ice maker should only be connected to a source of drinkable water.
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 contamination-free to avoid tainting
the food inside.
Do not put too much fresh food into the
freezer at once. This could go beyond the
freezer's cooling capacity.
