the insulation. Do not use hot water, acid, alkali, gasoline, benzene, caustic
cleanser, alcohol, or hard brushes to clean the plastic parts.
3. Turning off the unit
If possible, avoid turning off the refrigerator. Let it work for long periods of time, even if
there is no food being stored. This will help keep the appliance working properly for a
long time.
If you must turn it off and not use it for a long period of time, turn the thermostat knob to
"OFF" and unplug the appliance. Follow the information above for cleaning it and keep it
in a dry, clean place. Store the refrigerator with the doors slightly open to reduce the
formation of mold and to prevent the door gaskets from sticking to the cabinet.
If your appliance is not working normally, you may be able to avoid the cost of a service call
