Cleaning & Care
WARNING:
After your refrigerator/freezer is in operation,
DO NOT touch the cold surfaces in the freezer
compartment (especially with wet hands). Skin
may adhere to these extremely cold surfaces.
DEFROSTING
Defrost the freezer compartment whenever frost accumulates to a thickness of
¼
" or more on freezer walls. Frost tends to accumulate more during the summer
months or in humid areas.
1. Remove food and ice cube tray from the freezer compartment.
2. Turn the temperature control dial to 0. Defrosting may take a few hours.
3. Keep the freezer door open and place a bowl of warm water in the freezer
compartment.
4. Use a towel to wipe up dripping water. DO NOT leave unattended (a puddle
may form on the floor and become a slip hazard).
5. After defrosting, wipe down the interior of the freezer. For thorough cleaning
instructions, see page 9.
6. Reset the temperature control dial to the desired temperature and return food
to the freezer compartment.
WARNING:
There is a risk of fire or explosion if the refrigerant
tubing is punctured. DO NOT use metal instruments
to defrost freezer.
CLEANING
1. Turn off and unplug the appliance.
2. Prepare a cleaning solution of 3–4 Tbsp. baking soda mixed with 1 qt. warm
water. Use a sponge or soft cloth, dampened with the cleaning solution, to wipe
down the interior of the refrigerator and freezer (after defrosting freezer). DO
NOT use harsh chemicals, abrasives, ammonia, chlorine bleach, concentrated
detergents, solvents or metal scouring pads.
3. Rinse with clean warm water and dry with a soft cloth.
4. Wipe the exterior and door gaskets with a damp cloth. Allow to dry.
5. Petroleum jelly can be applied lightly on the hinge side of door gaskets, if
needed, to keep them pliable and ensure a good seal.
6. DO NOT immerse any electrical appliance, cord or plug into water.
LIGHT BULB REPLACEMENT
1. Turn the temperature control dial to 0.
2. Gently pull off the light cover.
3. Replace with same type light bulb rated at 10 watts.
4. Put the cover back into place.
POWER INTERRUPTIONS
1. Remove the power cord from the electrical outlet when a power outage occurs.
2. Avoid opening the refrigerator and freezer doors while power is out.
a. If outage is for 2–3 hours, plug the power cord back into the outlet
when power is restored.
b. If outage is for a prolonged period, inspect and discard spoiled or
thawed food in freezer and refrigerator. Clean freezer/refrigerator
before using (instructions above).
VACATION
For long vacations or absences, empty food from refrigerator and freezer and set
the temperature dial to 0. Unplug and clean the refrigerator and freezer
(instructions above). Prop doors open so air can circulate inside.
MOVING
When moving, always move the refrigerator vertically. DO NOT move with the
unit lying down or in a horizontal position—possible damage to the sealed system
could occur. After the move, wait 24 hours before plugging in and using.
