Care and Maintenance
Cleaning Your Refrigerator
• Disconnect the electrical 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. Then, unplug the electrical cord 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
• Disconnect the electrical cord 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
