CLEANING METHOD
Prepare a cleaning solution of 3-4 tablespoons of baking soda mixed with warm water� Use sponge or soft cloth, dampened with the
cleaning solution to wipe down your refrigerator�
• Rinse with clean warm water and dry with a soft cloth,
• Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasives, ammonia, chlorine bleach, concentrated detergents, solvents or metal scouring pads�
Some of these chemicals may dissolve, damage and/or discolor your refrigerator�
DOOR GASKET
Clean door gaskets every three months according to general instructions� Gasket must be kept clean and pliable to assure a proper
seal�
• Petroleum jelly applied lightly on the hinge sides of gaskets will keep the gasket pliable and ensure a good seal�
VACATION AND MOVING CARE
• When going on vacation, it is best that you empty all the food from your refrigerator and freezer� Set the temperature dial to "0"
and unplug the refrigerator� Clean the unit as per "Cleaning Method" and leave the door open to remove any odors�
• When traveling or moving the refrigerator, always transport the unit vertically� Moving the unit on its sides may damage the refrig-
erator and/ or its compressor� DO NOT TRY TO ADJUST OR REPAIR THE REFRIGERATOR YOURSELF�
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
• The refrigerator should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat-producing appliances or heating ducts, and
out of direct sunlight�
• Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the refrigerator� Overloading the refrigerator forces the compressor to
run longer and thus increase energy consumption� Foods that refrigerate too slowly may lose quality or spoil�
• Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing in the refrigerator�
• The shelves should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper towels� This will interfere with cold air circulation, mak-
ing the refrigerator less efficient�
• Organize food to reduce door openings and extended searches� Remove as many items as needed at one time, and lose the door
as soon as possible�
HOW TO DEFROST
• Defrost the freezer compartment when the frost accumulated is about 1/8" thick�
• Set the temperature control dial to "0" before defrosting� Remove all contents from the freezer compartment and leave the door
open until ice and frost dissolve thoroughly� Make sure the drip tray is in place and unplug the unit� After defrosting, empty water
from drip tray and wipe the compartment dry with a soft cloth and then adjust the temperature control dial to the desired posi-
tion�
NOTE: · In case you want to speed up the defrosting, you may put a bowl of warm water (about 122°F) into the refrigerator�
• Do not heat the evaporator directly with hot water or hair dryer while defrosting� Doing so will damage the freezer compartment�
• Never use a sharp or metallic instrument to remove frost as it may damage the refrigerator and puncture the cooling coils� It will
also void the warranty� We recommend using a plastic scraper�
TROUBLESHOOTING & WARRANTY

1� Check to make sure that the refrigerator is plugged in securely� If it is not, remove the plug from the outlet, wait 10 seconds and
plug it in again securely�
2� Check for a blown circuit fuse or a tripped main circuit breaker� If these seem to be operating properly, test the outlet with an-
other appliance�
