Care and Maintenance



Cleaning Your Refrigerator:

1. Turn the refrigerator temperature control to OFF and the freezer control to MIN,

unplug the unit and remove the food and 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 shelves 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 unit 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 unit 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.


Vacation Time:

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 Unit:

1. Remove all the food.
2. Securely tape down all loose items inside your unit.
3. Turn the leveling legs up to the base to avoid damage.
4. Tape the doors shut.
5. Be sure the unit stays secure in the upright position during transportation. Also,

protect the outside of the unit with a blanket or similar covering.
