NOTE : If ice buildup is very thick, it may keep the ice tray
compartment door from opening or closing completely. Don’t try to
force it open; after defrosting, the door will open and close easily.
Care and cleaning of the refrigerator.
Preparing for Vacation
For long vacations or absences, remove food and unplug the refrigerator. Move the
control to the 0 position, and clean the interior with a baking soda solution of one
tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda to one quart (1 liter) of water. Leave the door open.
Preparing to Move
Secure all loose items such as shelves and ice trays by taping them securely in place to
prevent damage. Be sure the refrigerator stays in an upright position during moving.
Replacing the Light Bulb
Unplug the refrigerator before replacing a burned-out bulb. Setting the controls to 0
does not remove power to the light circuit.
The light bulb is located behind the temperature control housing and is visible through
the clear lens. Using a Philips screwdriver, unscrew the lens and pull horizontally until
the lens is removed. Gently unscrew the light bulb and replace with a bulb of 15 watts
or less.
Care and cleaning of the refrigerator.
Defrosting
Defrost whenever frost on the wall of the Freezer compartment becomes 164) “4/
mm) thick. Never use a sharp or metallic instrument to remove frost as it may damage
the cooling coils. (A punctured cooling coil will cause serious problems and void the
warranty.) We recommend using a plastic scraper. Do not use any electrical device in
defrosting your refrigerator.
To defrost:
•
Remove foods from the Freezer and Fresh Food compartments.
•
Set the temperature control dial to 0.
•
Place a towel in the Freezer Compartment to soak up water.
Defrosting usually takes a few hours. To defrost faster, keep the door open. Also using a
hair dryer on the low setting may speed defrosting.
Warning: using excessive heat may damage the plastic liner!
Do not pour water into the Freezer or Fresh Food compartments.
After defrosting:
• Empty water from the drip tray. Wash the tray with warm water.
• Wipe the Freezer and Fresh Food compartments with a damp cloth.
• Turn the temperature control to the desired setting and return food
to the refrigerator.
