Care and Maintenance
COOLING SYSTEM
This refrigerator is equipped with a "Frost Free" type cooling system, which means you never have to defrost the
freezer compartment. Defrosting is done automatically by means of a defrost heating element and a defrost timer
factory-programmed to operate (cycle) approximately every 8 hours. The defrost water is routed into a defrost pan
located directly above the compressor, where it then evaporates.
CLEANING
Before cleaning the refrigerator or freezer, always disconnect the refrigerator from the power supply. To clean the
inside, use a soft cloth and a solution of a tablespoon baking soda to one quart (4 cups) of water, or a mild soap
suds solution or mild detergent. Wash ice cube tray, drip tray, and glide out shelves in a mild detergent solution,
then wipe dry with a soft cloth. Clean the outside with a damp soft cloth and some mild detergent or appliance
cleaner.
VACATION TIME
For short vacation periods, leave the control knob at the usual setting. During longer absences:
a) remove all food.
b) disconnect from electrical outlet.
c) leave the door open to avoid possible formations of condensation, mold, or odors.
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 times you open the door while the power is off. During power failures of
longer duration, take steps to protect your food.
IF YOU MOVE
Remove, or securely fasten down, all loose items inside the refrigerator. To avoid damaging the leveling legs, turn
them all the way into the base.
Some Important Rules for the Correct Use of the Refrigerator
• Never place hot foods in the refrigerator.
• Beverages should be stored in sealed containers.
• Foods to be stored for a long time should be wrapped in cellophane or polyethylene, or kept in glass containers.
Never place spoiled food in the refrigerator.
• Don't overload the refrigerator.
• Don't open the door unless necessary.
• Should the refrigerator be stored without use for long periods, it is suggested, after careful cleaning, to leave the
door ajar to allow the air to circulate inside the unit in order to avoid the possible formations of condensation,
mold, or odors.
VEGETABLE CRISPER
The tray at the bottom of the refrigerator is covered to retain moisture. The crisper compartment will enable you to
store vegetables and fruits which would otherwise dry out rapidly.
