CLEANING
To clean the inside, use a soft cloth and a mixture of one
tablespoon of baking soda to one quart of water, or a mild
soap or detergent. After washing glass shelves, dry and wipe
with a soft cloth. Clean the outside with a soft damp cloth and
some mild detergent or appliance cleaner.
POWER FAILURE
Most power failures are corrected within an hour or two and
will not affect your refrigerator temperatures. However, you
should minimize the number of times the door is opened of
while the power is off. During power failures of longer dura-
tion, take steps to protect your food by placing dry ice on top
of packages.
IF YOU MOVE
Remove or securely fasten down all loose items inside the
unit. To avoid damaging the leveling legs, turn them all the
way into the base.
