The Freezer Compartment
• This compartment is designed for the long-term storage of frozen food. The storage life of
frozen foods varies and the recommended storage time should not be exceeded.
• Place frozen food into the freezer as quickly as possible after purchase. If there are
instructions on the packet, carefully follow these instructions regarding storage times.
Care and Maintenance
Cleaning Your Refrigerator
• Upon installation of your new appliance, it is recommended that it be cleaned thoroughly.
• Turn the control to the OFF position and unplug the unit from the wall outlet.
• Clean interior and parts with a cloth soaked in lukewarm water and baking soda solution. A
solution of 2 tablespoons baking soda to a quart of water will clean and neutralize odors.
Rinse and wipe dry.
• Be sure to keep the door gasket (seal) clean to keep the unit running efficiently.
• The outside of the refrigerator should be cleaned with a warm damp cloth and mild
detergent. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners.
• Never clean refrigerator parts with flammable fluids. The fumes can create a fire hazard.
Vacation Time
• For long vacations, remove all food and turn the control to the OFF position. Then, unplug
the unit from the wall outlet.
• Clean the interior and leave doors open to avoid possible odor or mold formation.
• Use extreme caution in the case of children. The unit should not be accessible to child’s play.
Moving Your Refrigerator
• Turn the control to the OFF position and unplug the unit from the wall outlet.
• Remove all the food and securely tape down all loose items such as shelves, drawers, and
doors.
• Be sure the refrigerator stays in the upright position during transportation.
Energy Saving Tips
• The refrigerator should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing
appliances or heating ducts, and out of the direct sunlight.
• Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the refrigerator.
• Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in the
refrigerator. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the refrigerator.
• Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches
NOTE
Do not store can foods or food stored in glass containers in the
freezer compartment.
