It is important that your refrigerator be kept clean to
prevent undesirable odors. Spilled food should be
wiped up immediatel
y,
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, 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
refrigerato
r.
Wipe with a clean, damp cloth and
then dr

INTERIOR - Regular cleaning of the interior and
interior parts is recommended. If you have the No
Frost model which defrosts automaticall

leave
both doors open during the entire cleaning process.
Disconnect the power suppl
y,
and remove food and
all compartment shelves, storage trays etc.

door racks, storage trays, and magnetic door seals
etc. with the baking soda solution or a mild deter-
gent and warm water. Rinse and dry.
WARNING
Always remove power cord from the wall
outlet prior to cleaning in the vicinity of elec-
trical parts (lamps, switches, controls, etc.).
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 clean-
ing liquids.
VACATION TIME
During average length vacations, you will probably
find it best to leave the refrigerator in operation.
Place freezable items in freezer for longer life.
When you plan to be away for an extended period,
remove all food, disconnect the power cord, clean
the interior thoroughl
y,
and leave each 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.
DRY ICE WARNING
When using dry ice, provide adequate ventilation.
Dry ice is frozen carbon dioxide (CO
2
).
When it vaporizes, it can displace oxygen, causing
dizziness, light-headedness, unconsciousness, and
death by
suffocation
.
Open a window and do not breathe the
vapors.
I
F YOU MOVE
If you move, empty the refrigerator (freezer)
completely and wash a mild solution of baking soda
and water. (2 TBS soda to 1 quart water)
Be sure the soda is completely dissolved to avoid
scratching the inside of the refrigerator (freezer).
Secure any loose items, such as
racks
, bins, ice
trays, etc. Do not try to move a loaded refrigerator.
ANTI-CONDENSATION PIPE
The outside wall of the refrigerator cabinet may
sometimes get warm, especially just after
installation.
Don't be alarmed.
This is due to the
anti-condensation pipe,
which pumps hot refrigerant
to
prevent
sweating on the
outer cabinet wall.
