CARE & MAINTENANCE
CLEANING
Ensure the appliance is unplugged before cleaning.
• To clean the inside of the appliance, use a soft
cloth and a solution of one tablespoon of baking
soda to one quart of water or a mild soap
solution or some mild detergent.
• Clean the outside with a soft, damp cloth and
some mild detergent.
• It is important to keep the area where the lid
seals against the cabinet clean to ensure a tight
seal. Clean this area with a soapy cloth. Rinse
with a damp cloth and let dry.
Note: Do not use cleaners containing ammonia or
alcohol on the appliance. Ammonia or alcohol can
damage the appearance of the appliance. Never
use any commercial or abrasive cleaners or sharp
objects on any part of the appliance.
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
lid is opened. If the power is going to be off for
a longer period of time, take the proper steps to
protect your contents.
Note: Wait 3 to 5 minutes before attempting
to restart the refrigerator if operation has been
interrupted.

of the room, away from heat producing appliances,
and out of direct sunlight. Do not overload the unit
or block any ventilation openings.

during vacations of less than three weeks.
• Long vacations: If the appliance will not be used

leave the lid open slightly, blocking it open if
necessary.
MOVING
