Cleaning and Maintenance
Preparing the Refrigerator for Storage
If the refrigerator will not be used for a long time, or is to be moved to another place, it will be
necessary to defrost the unit and dry the interior.
1. Disconnect the refrigerator from the power supply by removing the power plug from the wall
socket.
2. Leave the door open to allow for air circulation and to prevent mold, mildew, and unpleasant smells.
3. Once the interior is dry and clean the unit will be ready for storage.
HAZARD:
Store the unit out of reach from children. If you have children, you may want to take additional
precautions such as removing the door to prevent a child from being trapped inside the
refrigerator.
• Do not touch the power plug when your hands are wet.
• Never unplug the unit by pulling on the cord.
WARNINGS:
Cleaning and Maintenance
Periodic cleaning and proper maintenance will ensure efficiency, top performance, and long life.
The door and cabinet may be cleaned with a mild detergent and lukewarm water solution such as 2
tablespoons of baking soda to 1 quart of water.
Do not use solvent based or abrasive cleaners. Use a soft sponge and rinse with clean water. Wipe

detergent and warm water solution. Never use an abrasive or caustic cleaning agent.
