rust protection. Do not wax plastic parts. Wax painted
metal surfaces at least twice a year using appliance wax
(or auto paste wax). Apply wax with a clean, soft cloth.
Do not use wax on stainless steel exteriors. Use a
product specially designed for polishing stainless steel
appliances, or clean with a soft cloth or clean sponge
and a mild detergent dissolved in warm water. Dry
thoroughly with a soft cloth.
NOTE: Avoid door surface contact with chemical
products that contain Phosphate or Chlorine,
such as degreasers, detergents (containing TSP)
and bleaches.

To help remove odors, you can wash the inside of the
refrigerator with a mixture of baking soda and warm
water. Mix 2 tablespoons baking soda to 1 quart of water
(26 g soda to 1 liter water.) Be sure the baking soda is
completely dissolved so it does not scratch the
surfaces of the refrigerator.
DOOR LINERS AND GASKETS

bleaches, or cleaners containing petroleum on plastic
refrigerator parts.

in warm water. Wash, rinse and dry all surfaces

PLASTIC PARTS (covers and panels)
Do not use window sprays, abrasive cleaners, or
flammable fluids. These can scratch or damage the
material. Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild
detergent in warm water. Wash, rinse and dry all surfaces
thoroughly.

If the power will be out for 24 hours or less, keep all
refrigerator doors closed to help foods stay cold and
frozen.
2.
If the power will be out for more than 24 hours:
a) Remove all frozen food and store it in a frozen food
locker.

every cubic foot (28 L) of freezer space. This will keep
the food frozen for two to four days. While handling
dry ice, wear gloves to protect your hands from
frostbite.

SUFFOCATION HAZARD
When using dry ice, provide adequate ventilation, Dry
ice is frozen carbon dioxide (CO2). When it vaporizes,
it can displace oxygen, causing dizziness,

suffocation. Open a window and don not breathe
vapors.
OR
c) If neither a food locker nor dry ice is available,
consume or dispose of food at once.
