Always keep the refrigerator clean. Cleaning the refrigerator is
usually done after it is defrosted or put into storage. Use luke-
warm weak soda solution to clean the interior liner of the re-
frigerator. Use warm water only to clean the finned evaporator,
gasket, ice tray and shelves. Do not spray liquids near electrical
outlets, connections or the refrigerator components.
To keep the refrigerator operating efficiently and safely, peri-
odic inspection and cleaning of several components once or
twice a year is recommended:
Check the lower vent, upper vent and area between these •
openings for any obstructions such as bird/insect nests,
spider webs, etc.
Make sure the refrigerator area is free from combustible
•
material, gasoline and other flammable vapors or liquids.
Clean the coils on the back of the refrigerator. Use a soft
•
bristled brush to dust off the coils.

ON/OFF button (OFF position).

the drip tray under the finned evaporator.
Defrosting time can be reduced by filling the ice
trays with hot water and placing them in the freezer
compartment.
When all the frost has melted, dry the interior with a 4.
clean cloth.
Turn the refrigerator back on.
