CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Cleaning your Refrigerator
1. Turn the refrigerator temperature control to OFF, unplug the appliance, and remove the contents,
including shelves.
2. Wash the inside surfaces with a solution of warm water and baking soda. The solution should
contain about 2 tablespoons of baking soda to a quart of water.
3. Wash the drawer compartments with a mild detergent solution.
4. Wash the outside cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse well and wipe dry with
a clean soft cloth.
5. Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth before cleaning the area of the controls, or any
electrical parts.
CAUTION:
Failure to unplug the appliance could result in electrical shock or personal injury
.
Power Failure
Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the temperature of your
appliance if you minimize the number of times the doors are opened. If the power is going to be off for
a longer period of time, you need to take the proper steps to protect your food.
Vacations
•
Short vacations:
Leave the refrigerator operating during vacations of less than three weeks.
•
Long 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. To prevent odor and mold growth, leave the
door open slightly, blocking it open if necessary.
Moving your Refrigerator
1. Remove all stored items.
2. Securely tape down all loose items inside your appliance (shelves).
3. Turn the leveling legs up to the base to avoid damage.
4. Tape the door shut.
5. Be sure the appliance stays secure in the upright position during transportation. Also,
protect the outside of the appliance with a blanket or similar covering.
Energy-Saving Tips
•
The appliance should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat-producing
appliances and out of direct sunlight.
•
Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the appliance. Overloading the appliance
forces the compressor to run longer.
•
Be sure to wrap foods properly and wipe containers dry before placing them in the appliance. This
cuts down on frost build-up inside the appliance.
•
The appliance's storage area should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper or paper toweling.
Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the appliance less efficient.
•
Organize and label stored items to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as
many items as needed at one time, and close the door as soon as possible.
