Frequently Asked Questions - RT18DKXHW00 Roper

How do I set the temperature controls on my Roper RT18DKXHW00?

Set the Refrigerator Control to 0 (mid) and the Freezer Control halfway between LESS COLD and MORE COLD when first plugging in. Adjust as needed. Note that changing one control affects both compartments.

Why is my ice maker not making ice?

Ensure the ice maker is turned ON (lever down), the freezer is cold enough (wait 24 hours), the water supply is connected and valve open, and the water line is not clogged. See manual for common problems.

Can I reverse the door swing on this freezer?

Yes, the door swing is reversible. Follow the instructions in the manual (pages 13-14) using a Phillips screwdriver, socket wrench, and putty knife. Keep all parts and reinstall handles on the new side.

How often should I clean the condenser coils?

Clean the condenser coils on the back of the cabinet at least every other month using a vacuum cleaner with an extended narrow attachment to ensure efficient operation.

What should I do during a power outage?

Keep doors closed. If power is off 24 hours or less, food stays frozen. If longer, remove food to a locker or use dry ice (2 lbs per cu ft). A full freezer stays cold longer.

The freezer is making unusual sounds. Is this normal?

Many sounds are normal: clicking from thermostat, gurgling water, fan hum, ice maker noises. See 'Understanding the sounds you may hear' (page 12). If sounds are new or loud, check for items on top/behind.

How do I remove and clean the shelves?

Tilt the shelf up at the front, lift the back, and pull straight out. Clean with mild detergent and warm water. Reverse to reinstall by hooking rear slots into supports.

What type of light bulb does the freezer use and how do I replace it?

The manual does not specify the bulb type, but typically it is a 40W appliance bulb. Unplug the freezer or disconnect power before removing the old bulb.

How do I prepare the freezer for vacation?

Remove all food, turn off ice maker, unplug, clean and dry, prop doors open with blocks to prevent mold. For short vacations (<4 weeks), just use up perishables and freeze items.

Where can I find replacement parts or service?

Call Roper toll-free at 1-800-44-ROPER (1-800-447-6737) for assistance or to locate authorized service. Use FSP® replacement parts for best fit and function.

Changing the light bulb

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Before removing a light bulb, either unplug the refrigerator or disconnect the electricity leading to the refrigerator at the main power supply.

USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR

Understanding the sounds you may hear

Your new refrigerator may make sounds that your old one didn't. Because the sounds are new to you, you might be concerned about them. Don't be. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard surfaces like the floor, walls, and cabinets can make the sounds seem louder.

The following describes the kinds of sounds that might be new to you, and what may be making them.

Slight hum, soft hiss

You may hear the refrigerator's fan motor and moving air.

Clicking or snapping sounds

The thermostat makes a definite click when the refrigerator stops running. It also makes a sound when the refrigerator starts. The defrost timer will click when the defrost cycle starts.

Water sounds

When the refrigerator stops running, you may hear gurgling in the tubing for a few minutes after it stops. You may also hear defrost water running into the defrost water pan.

Ice maker sounds

- trickling water

- thud (clatter of ice)

You may hear buzzing (from the water valve), trickling water, and the clatter of ice dumped into the bin.

Running sounds

Your refrigerator has a high-efficiency compressor and motor. It will run longer than older designs. It may even seem to run most of the time.

Saving energy

You can help your refrigerator use less electricity.

- Check door gaskets for a tight seal. Level the cabinet to be sure of a good seal.

- Clean the condenser coils regularly.

- Go ahead and fill up the refrigerator, but don't overcrowd it so air movement is blocked.

- It is a waste of electricity to set the refrigerator and freezer to temperatures colder

2. Pack all frozen food in dry ice.

3. Unplug the refrigerator.

4. Clean it thoroughly. Rinse well and dry.

CARING FOR YOUR REFRIGERATOR

Power interruptions

If electricity goes off, call the power company. Ask how long power will be off.

1. If service will be interrupted 24 hours or less, keep both doors closed. This helps foods stay frozen.
2. If service will be interrupted longer than 24 hours:

(a) Remove all frozen food and store in a frozen food locker.

OR
(b) Place 2 lbs. (0.9 kg) of dry ice in freezer for every cubic foot of freezer space. This will keep food frozen for 2 to 4 days. Wear gloves to protect your hands from dry ice burns.
OR
(c) If neither a food locker or dry ice is available, use or can perishable food at once.

1. A full freezer stays cold longer than a partly filled one. A freezer full of meat stays cold longer than a freezer full of baked goods. If food contains ice crystals, it may be safely refrozen, although the quality and flavor may be affected. If the condition of the food is poor, or if you feel it is unsafe, dispose of it.

Questions 7

Call our toll-free number, 1-800-44-ROPER.

Food Storage Guide

There is a correct way to package and store refrigerated or frozen food. To keep food fresher, longer, take the time to study these recommended steps.

Storing fresh food

Wrap or store food in the refrigerator in air-tight and moisture-proof material. This prevents food odor and taste transfer throughout the refrigerator. For dated products, check code date to ensure freshness.

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.

Vegetables with skins (carrots, peppers)

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 original container in a crisper, or store in a loosely closed paper bag on a refrigerator shelf.

Eggs

Cheese

Store in the original wrapping until you are ready to use it. Once opened, rewrap tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil.

Leftovers

Cover leftovers with plastic wrap or alumi- num foil. Plastic containers with tight lids can also be used.

Meat

Store most meat in original wrapping as long as it is airtight and moisture-proof. Rewrap if necessary. See the following chart for storage times.

TYPE	APPROXIMATE TIME(DAYS)*
Chicken	1 to 2
Ground beef	1 to 2
Steaks and roasts	3 to 5
Cured meats	7 to 10
Bacon	5 to 7
Cold cuts	3 to 5

FOOD STORAGE GUIDE

Storing frozen food

The freezer section is designed for storage of commercially frozen food and for freezing food at home.

NOTE: For further information about preparing food for freezing or food storage times, contact your local Cooperative Extension Service or check a freezer guide or reliable 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.

Packaging recommended for use:

• Rigid plastic containers with tight-fitting lids
- Straight-sided canning/freezing jars
- Heavy-duty aluminum foil
- Plastic-coated paper
• Non-permeable plastic wraps (made from a saran film)

Follow package or container instructions for proper freezing methods.

Do not use:

Freezing

Do not expect your freezer to quick-freeze 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, the type of packaging or wrap used (airtight and moisture-proof), and the storage temperature, which should be 0°F (-17.8°C).

Troubleshooting

Listed in the chart below are the most common problems consumers run into with their refrigerator. Please read through this chart before calling for service. It could save you the cost of a service call.
