Before using cleaning products, always read and
follow manufacturer’s
instructions and warnings to

General:
• Prepare a cleaning solution of 3-4 tablespoons of
baking soda mixed

soft cloth, dampened with the cleaning
solution, to
wipe down your refrigerator.

Door
Gaskets:
• Clean door gaskets every three months according
to general
instructions. Gaskets must be kept clean
and pliable to assure a
proper seal.

gaskets will keep
the gasket pliable and assure a
good seal.
Proper Refrigerator Care and Cleaning
Power Interruptions
• Occasionally there may be power interruptions due to thunderstorms or
other causes. Remove the power cord from AC outlet when a power
outage occurs. When power has been restored, replug power cord to AC
outlet. If outage is for a prolonged period, inspect and discard spoiled or
thawed food in freezer. Clean freezer before reusing.
Vacation and Moving Care
• For long vacations or absences, empty food from refrigerator, move
the
temperature DIAL to the OFF position and clean the door gaskets
according to "General cleaning" section. Prop doors open, so air can
circulate inside. When moving always move the refrigerator vertically.
Do
not move with the unit lying down. Possible damage to the sealed
system could occur.
