CARE AND MAINTENANCE
NOTE:
Be sure to unplug your unit before performing any cleaning or maintenance to prevent the
risk of electric shock.
Cleaning your Appliance
CAUTION: Cleansers such as soap powder, abrasive cleaning powder, alkali cleansers, chemical
cloth, thinner, alcohol, acid petroleum product and hot water should NOT be used for
cleaning, as they may damage the appliance.
To Clean the Interior:
1. Unplug the unit and remove the food, shelves and crisper.
2. Wash the inside surfaces with a solution of warm water and baking soda. The solution should
contain about 2 tablespoons of baking soda to a quart of water. Rinse and dry thoroughly with a
clean soft cloth.
3. Wash the shelves and crisper with a mild detergent solution. Rinse and dry.
4. Wash the outside cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse well and wipe dry
with a clean soft cloth.
5. Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth before cleaning the area of the controls, or any
electrical parts.
To Clean the Exterior:
Wipe any accumulated dust with a dry cloth. If necessary, spray warm water onto a clean cloth
instead of spraying directly onto the surface of the appliance. This helps ensure an even distribution
of moisture to the surface.
NOTE:
Do not use sharp objects to clean, as it may scratch or damage the exterior.
Cleaning the Door Gasket
It is important to regularly clean the door gaskets to prevent them from becoming soiled with oils,
sauces or similar impediments, which may prevent a good seal when the doors are closed.
Power Failure
In the event of a power failure, your appliance can store food for several hours.
• Do not put additional items in the appliance
• Reduce the frequency of door openings.
Vacations
•
Short vacations:
Leave the freezer operating during vacations of less than three weeks, but be
sure to remove any foods which may rot during this time.
•
Long vacations:
If the appliance will not be used for several months, remove all food and
unplug the power cord. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth,
leave the door open slightly, blocking it open if necessary, or have the door removed. Use
extreme caution in the case of children. The unit should not be accessible to children at play.
