Cleaning
Before cleaning the refrigerator, always disconnect the
refrigerator from the power supply.
To clean the
inside, use a soft cloth and a solution of a tablespoon
of baking soda to one quart of water, or a mild soap
suds solution, or some mild detergent. Wash glide out
shelves in a mild detergent solution, then dry and
wipe with a soft cloth. Clean the outside with a soft
damp cloth and some mild detergent or appliance
cleaner.
Vacation Time
For short vacation periods, leave the control knob at
the usual setting. During longer absences;
(a) remove all foods,
(b) disconnect from electrical outlet,
(c) leave door open to avoid possible formations of
condensate, mold or odors.
Power Failure
Most power failures are corrected within an hour or
two and will not affect your refrigerator temperatures.
However, you should minimize the number of door
openings while the power is off. During power failures
of longer duration, take steps to protect your food by
placing dry ice on top of packages.
If You Move
Remove or securely fasten down all loose items inside
the refrigerator. To avoid damaging the leveling legs,
turn them all the way into the base.
Some Important Rules for the
Correct Use of the Refrigerator
• Never place hot foods in the refrigerator.
• Beverages should be stored in sealed containers.
• Foods to be stored for a long time should be
wrapped in cellophane or polyethylene, or kept in
glass containers. Never place spoiled foods in the
cabinet.
• Don’t overload the cabinet.
• Don’t open the door unless necessary.
• Should the refrigerator be stored without use for
long periods it is suggested, after a careful cleaning,
to leave the door ajar to allow the air to circulate
inside the cabinet in order to avoid possible
formations of condensate, mold or odors.
Food Storage Suggestions
Fresh Food Compartment
• Never cover food compartment shelves with
aluminum foil or any other shelf covering material
which may prevent air circulation.
• Allow warm foods to cool to room temperature
before placing them in the refrigerator.
• Always cover open dishes of food, especially
leftovers. Use leftovers within 2 or 3 days.
