STORING FOOD
●
Store fresh food in the refrigerator. How food is
frozen and thawed is an important factor in
maintaining its freshness and flavor.
●
Do not store food which goes bad easily at low
temperatures, such as bananas, pineapples,
and melons.
●
Allow hot food to cool prior to storing. Placing
hot food in the refrigerator could spoil other food,
and lead to higher electric bills!
●
When storing, wrap food in vinyl, or place in a
covered container. This prevents moisture from
evaporating, and helps food to keep its taste and
nutrients.
●
Do not open the door frequently. Opening the
door lets warm air enter the refrigerator, causing
temperatures to rise.
●
Do not store bottles on the evaporator - they may
break when frozen.
●
Always clean food prior to refrigeration.
Vegetables and fruits should be washed and
wiped, and packed food should be wiped clean,
to prevent adjacent food from spoiling.

SUGGESTIONS ON FOOD STORAGE
It is important that your refrigerator be kept clean to
prevent undesirable odors. Spilled food should be
wiped up immediately, since it may acidify and
stain plastic surfaces if allowed to settle.
Never use metallic scouring pads, brushes, coarse
abrasive cleaners or strong alkaline solutions on
any surface.
Before you clean, however, remember that damp
objects will stick or adhere to extremely cold
surfaces. Do not touch frozen surfaces with wet or
damp hands.
EXTERIOR - Use a lukewarm solution of mild soap or
detergent to clean the durable finish of your refrigerator.
Wipe with a clean, damp cloth and then dry.
INTERIOR - Regular cleaning of the interior and
interior parts is recommended. Disconnect the
power supply, and remove food and shelves, trays
etc. Wash all compartment and shelves, trays etc.
with a baking soda solution. Rinse and dry.
CLEANING
GENERAL INFORMATION
WARNING
Always remove power cord from the wall
outlet prior to cleaning in the vicinity of
electrical parts. Wipe up excess moisture with
a sponge or cloth to prevent water or liquid
from getting into any electrical part and
causing a electric shock. Do not use
flammable or toxic cleaning liquids.
VACATION TIME
During average length vacations, you will probably
find it best to leave the refrigerator in operation.
When you plan to be away for an extended period,
remove all food, disconnect the power cord, clean
the interior thoroughly, and leave the door OPEN to
prevent odor formation.
POWER FAILURE
Most power failures are corrected in 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, place a block of dry ice
on top of your frozen packages.
IF YOU MOVE
Remove or securely fasten down all loose items
inside the refrigerator. To avoid damaging the
leveling screw, turn them all the way into the base.
