CARE AND CLEANING
Cleaning the Inside
Wash inside surfaces of the refrigerator with a solution
of two tablespoons of baking soda in one quart
(1.136 liters) warm water. Rinse and dry. Wring excess
water out of the sponge or cloth when cleaning in the
area of the controls, or any electrical parts.
Wash the removable parts with the baking soda solution
mentioned above, or mild detergent and warm water.
Rinse and dry. Never use metallic scouring pads, brushes,
abrasive cleaners, or alkaline solutions on any surface. Do
not wash removable parts in a dishwasher.
Cleaning the Outside
Wash the cabinet with warm water and mild liquid
detergent. Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean soft
cloth.
Vacation and Moving Tips
Vacations:
If the refrigerator will not be used for several months:
•
Remove all food and unplug the power cord.
•
Clean and dry the interior thoroughly.
•
Leave the refrigerator door open slightly, blocking it
open if necessary, to prevent odor and mold growth.
Moving:
When moving the refrigerator, follow these guidelines to
prevent damage:
•
Disconnect the power cord plug from the wall outlet.
•
Remove food and clean the refrigerator.
•
Secure all loose items by taping them securely in
place to prevent damage.
•
In a moving vehicle, secure the refrigerator in an
upright position to prevent movement. Also, protect
the outside of the refrigerator with a blanket or
similar item.
WARNING
If leaving the refrigerator door open while on vacation,
make certain that children cannot get into the
refrigerator and become entrapped.
