CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
All the exterior parts and interior parts of the product should be kept clean.
The refrigerator should be cleaned periodically. If the refrigerator is kept clean, its lifespan will be extended.
Regular cleaning should be performed at least once a year; twice a year is recommended.
CAUTION: Before service or cleaning is performed, ensure the dial is set to "0", the power supply is
disconnected, and all components of the unit are completely cool.
WARNING: To avoid electric shock, always unplug your refrigerator before cleaning. Ignoring this warning may
result in death or injury.
CAUTION: Before using cleaning products, always read and follow manufacturer's instructions and warnings

GENERAL CLEANING
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 GASKETS
Clean door gaskets every three months using cleaning solution and non-abrasive cloths or pads. Gaskets must
be kept clean and pliable to ensure a proper seal.
Petroleum jelly applied lightly on the hinge side of gaskets will keep the gasket pliable and ensure a good seal.
STAINLESS STEEL SURFACES (if applicable)
The exterior of the appliance should be cleaned by fi rst using stainless steel
cleaner to remove grease and dirt. Always wipe with the grain (see Fig. 12-1).
Next, apply stainless steel polish and wipe down using polish wipes to restore
the stainless steel color.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE (cont.)
MAINTENANCE
DANGER: Risk of Fire or Explosion due to puncturing of refrigerant tubing. Flammable refrigerant
used. Do not use metal instruments to defrost refrigerator. Do not puncture refrigerant
tubing.
• All safety precautions must be followed.
• To be repaired only by a qualifi ed professional service technician.
LIGHT
To replace the bulb, carefully pull the plastic light cover to the left and
remove. Locate and unscrew the bulb and replace it with a new bulb
(use bulbs of 15 watts or less). Replace plastic light cover.
POWER INTERRUPTIONS
Occasionally there may be power interruptions due to
thunderstorms or other causes. Remove the power cord from
GFCI outlet when a power outage occurs. When power has been
restored, reconnect power cord to GFCI outlet. If outage is for a
prolonged period, inspect and discard spoiled or thawed food in
refrigerator. Clean refrigerator before reusing.
VACATION AND MOVING CARE
For long vacations or absences, empty food from refrigerator and
freezer, move the temperature dial to the "0" position and clean the
refrigerator and door gaskets (see previous page). Prop doors open,
so air can circulate inside. When moving, always move the refrigerator
vertically. Do not move with the unit lying down. Possible damage to
the sealed system could occur.

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 increases 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 wire shelves should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper towels. Liners interfere with
cold air circulation, making the refrigerator less effi cient.
• Organize food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as many items as needed at one
time, and close the door as soon as possible.
