Mum- BE PROPERLYGROUNDED.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with
athree-prong (grounding) plug which mates
with astandard three-prong (grounding) wail re-
ceptacle (Fig. 1) to
minimize the possibil-
ity of electric shock
hazard from this appli-
ance. Have the wall
receptacle checked by
aqualified electrician
to make sure the re-
ceptacle is properly
grounded.
Where astandard two-prong wall receptacle is en-
Iargerslot inthe adapter
must be aligned with
the larger slot in the
wall receptacle to pro-
vide proper polarity in
the connection of the
power cord.
countered, it is the personal responsibility and obli-
gation 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

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 set-
ing 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 acontainer of milk is too warm or too
cold to your taste after being on the top
shelf in the Fresh Food compartment for
aday, adjust the Cold Control Dials ac-
cordingly.
If agallon of ice cream remains firm to the
touch after being in the I?reezer for aday,
the Coid Control Dials are at the proper
setting. If the ice cream’s firmness ismot to
your liking, adjust the dials accordingly.
Check aday 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 aquicksupply of i

TIPSON FREEZINGFOODS
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 espe-
cially for freezing; they’re readily available
in awide 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-
~}geto provide agood,lastingseal. Don’t
rrfreeze meat that has completely thawed;
meat, whether raw or cooked, can be frozen
successfully only once.

Kxi cRmM STOMGE
Fine-quality ice cream, with high cream
content, will normally require slightly low-
er temperatures than more “airy” already-
packed brands with low cream content. It
will be necessary to experiment to deter-
mine 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 notadjustable on models
CTF18A and CTH6C)
Most Hotpoint No-Frost Refrigerators fea-
ture 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.

Cheese should be well wrapped with wax

Vegetable drawers (on all models except
CTF18A) have been specially designed to
preserve natural moisture and freshness.
Crispness can be maintained by covering
vegetables with amoist towel. As afurther
aid to freshness, it is suggested that pre-
packaged vegetables be stored in their orig-
inal wrapping.
If you shutoff the house power for extended
vacations, remove food and clean interior
with baking soda solution using one table-
spoon of baking soda per each quart
water. Wipe dry. To prevent formation o
odor, place open box of soda in refrigerate
and leave doors open.
If you leave for shorter absences, remove
perishable foods and leave control dials at
normal setting. If, however, room temper-
ature is expected to go below 60°F., turn
control dials to OFF, remove food, clean
interior, leave doors open and remove plug
from wall receptacle.
If you have an icemaker, move icemaker
manual switch to OFF position and be sure
to shut off water supply to icemaker. Ice-

NERGY-SAVER SWITCH

saver switch located on the left side of
the refrigerator near the top of the fresh
food compartment {Fig.7).
I

Iwiv
IFig.7I
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” posi-
tion 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 refriger-
ator, and keep all foods covered to reduce
moisture build-up inside refrigerator.
~Don’t waste ice cubes by letting many
melt while using afew.
~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— over-
crowding can require extra e~ectrical energy
to keep everything cool.
oBefore 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, aheating vent or where sun-
g.~+line will strike it if any other kitchen ar-
~%-angement is possible.

No DEFROSTING
It is not necessary to defrost the freezer
or fresh food sections. Your refrigerator
is designed and equipped to defrost itself
automatically.
CLEANING
Inside –Clean both refrigerator and freez-
er sections at least once ayear. It is rec-
ommended that the refrigerator be unp-
lugged before cleaning. If this is not prac-
tical, wring excess moisture out of sponge
or cloth when cleaning in the vicinity of
switches, lights or controls.
Use warm water and baking soda solution
—about atablespoon 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
ahigh 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 acoat of appliance polish wax
when the refrigerator is brand new and re-
peat 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 aclean
cloth lightly dampened with appliance pol-
ish or mild household detergent. Use a
clean, soft cloth to dry and polish the
cleaned surface.

damaged, particularly cushioned floor cov-
erings and those with embossed $urfaces.
If your refrigerator is on wheels, pull it
straight out and return to position by push-
ing straight in. Moving your refrigerator in
aside direction may result in damage to
your floor covering or refrigerator.
