Ke ping your ice supply fresh
When summer sizzles, few things
are nicer than having a supply of
fresh ice for cold drinks (offered
automatically by many of today's
refrigerators) ... yet few things are
worse than ice than ruins your drink
with a bad flavor or aroma.
What causes ice cubes to taste or
smell funny? Appliance experts
from Whirlpool Corporation suggest
investigating all of the following pos-
sibilities: .
Old ke - Cubes that are stored
too long may develop a stale, "orr'
flavor.
To prevent this, discard any ice
that's more than a week or two old.
New installations- Ice may be a
bit discolored or off-flavored if
you've just installed a refrigerator
with an automatic ice maker. This
condition, caused by brand-new
plumbing, is temporary-simply dis­
card the first few batches o� ice.
Improperly wrapped foods-Un­
fortunately, cold maces (including
ice) attract and absorb odors and
odor-causing substances faster than
warm surfaces. The problem be­
comes more troublesome in today's
no-frost refttgerators, where air con­
stantly circulates between the freezer
and refrigerator ections.
There's a imple solution: Make
sure all foods are sealed or wrapped
well, using air-tight, moisture-proof,
vapor-proof containers or wrapping ,
materials. It's also a good idea to
avoid storing food with strong odors
(pizza, cas eroles, anything contain­
ing onion or garlic) for long periods
of time.
Freezer needs cleaning--Self­
defrosting freezers are not self-clean­
ing! Most manufacturers
recommend that you clean the
freezer section with a mild detergent
at least once a year, ccordlng to the
instructions in your use and care
guide. The refrigerator section and
icc bin also need to be cleaned peri­
odically.
Hard water- Ice made with
water that has four or more grains
per gallon of hardness absorbs odors
faster than ice made with otter
water. To find out if you have hard
water, contact your local water
department, public utility consumer
ervice or the home economist at the
county Cooperative Extension ser­
vice office, or have your water
analyzed by 8 private water service
company.
If your household water is very
hard, consider installing a mechani­
cal water softener to help eliminate
the need for frequent dumping of Ice
cubes.
Following these simple
guidelines can help you have fre h,
odor-free ice all year long. After all
ice that smells or tastes "funny" is
no laughing matter.
