Cleaning & Care
Troubleshooting
CLEANING
1. Turn off and unplug the appliance.
2. Prepare a cleaning solution of 2 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).
3. DO NOT use harsh chemicals, abrasives, ammonia, chlorine bleach, solvents,
concentrated detergents or metal scouring pads.
4. Rinse with clean warm water and dry with a soft cloth.
5. Wipe the exterior and door gaskets with a damp cloth. Allow to dry.
6. Petroleum jelly can be applied lightly on the hinge side of door gaskets, if
needed, to keep them pliable and ensure a good seal.
7.
DO NOT immerse any electrical appliance, cord or plug into water.
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 OFF. 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.
Normal operating sounds you may hear:
• Gurgling sounds or slight vibrations are the result of the refrigerant circulating
through the cooling coils.

• Check if refrigerator is plugged in.
• Check the circuit breaker.
Food temperature is too warm:
• Frequent door openings.
• Allow time for recently added warm food to reach new temperature.
• Check door gaskets for proper seal.
• Adjust the control dial to colder setting (higher number) and allow several
hours for temperature to adjust.

• Adjust the control dial to a warmer setting (lower number) and allow several
hours for temperature to adjust.
Refrigerator runs too frequently:
• This may be normal to maintain constant temperature during hot days.
• Doors may have been opened frequently or for an extended period of time.
• Check door gaskets for proper seal.
• Check to see if doors are completely closed.
Moisture buildup on interior or exterior:
• This is normal during high humidity periods.
