Care and Cleaning of the Refrigerator
Ice Formation on the
Inner Rear Wall
As long as the defrost water
runs to the channel and through
the opening to the drain pan on
the compressor, automatic de-
frosting of the appliance is as-
sured. In case any ice forma-
tion on the inner wall increases
to (1/8”), the ice should be
manually defrosted.
Set the thermostat knob to 0
(off) position and leave the
drawer open. Never use electric
devices for defrosting and do
not scrape the ice or frost layer
with sharp objects. After com-
pleting defrosting, turn the
knob to the desired position and
close the refrigerator drawer.
Water is Leaking from
the Refrigerator
In case the discharged water
outlet is clogged, or the defrost
water drips over the channel, or
water leaks from the refrigerator
just clean the clogged opening
with a plastic straw. Manually
defrost the increased ice layer.
See “Ice Formation on the Inner
Back Wall”.
Behind the Refrigerator
Be careful when moving the
refrigerator away from the wall.
All types of floor coverings can
be damaged; particularly
cushioned coverings and those
with embossed surfaces.
Pull the refrigerator straight out
and return it to position by
pushing it straight in. Moving
the refrigerator sideways may
result in damage to the floor
covering or refrigerator.
When pushing the refrigerator
back, make sure you don’t roll over
the power cord.
Preparing for Vacation
For long vacations or absences,
remove all of the food and un-
plug the refrigerator.
Move the refrigerator control to
the 0 (off) position and clean
the interior with a baking soda
solution of one tablespoon of
baking soda to one quart or wa-
ter.
Leave the doors open to prevent
odors.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
WARNING!
These instructions are intended
for the user. They describe the
appliance and the safe way to
use it. The instructions
were prepared for vari-
ous models/types of re-
frigerators therefore you
may find descriptions of some
accessories and functions that do
not apply to your appliance
SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS
When using electrical appli-
ances, basic safety precautions
should be observed, including the
following:
•
Before connecting the appli-
ance to the power supply,
leave it standing for about 2
hours. This reduces the risk
of malfunctions in the cool-
ing system caused by ship-
ping.
•
This refrigerator must be
properly installed in accor-
dance with the Installation
Instructions before it is used.
•
Do not allow children to
climb, stand or hang on the
drawers in the refrigerator.
They could damage the re-
frigerator and seriously in-
jure themselves.
•
Do not touch the cold sur-
faces when hands are damp
or wet. Skin may stick to
these extremely cold sur-
faces.
•
Do not store or use gasoline
or other flammable vapors
and liquids in the vicinity of
this or any other appliance.
•
Keep fingers out of the
“pinch point” areas; clear-
ances between the drawers
and cabinet. Be careful clos-
ing doors when children are
in the area.
•
Unplug the refrigerator be-
fore cleaning or making re-
pairs
.
•
Setting controls to the 0 (off)
position does not remove
power to the light circuit
Children entrapment and suffo-
cation are not problems of the
past. Junked or abandoned refrig-
erators are still dangerous…even
if they will sit for “just a few
days”.
