CARE AND CLEANING

Outside

The door handles and trim can be cleaned with a

cloth dampened with dishwashing detergent and water. Dry with a soft cloth. Don’t use wax on the door handles and trim.

Keep the finish clean. Wipe with a clean cloth lightly

dampened with kitchen appliance wax or mild liquid dishwashing detergent. Dry and polish with

soft cloth. Do not wipe the refrigerator with a soiled dishwashing cloth or wet towel. These may leave a residue that can erode the paint. Do not use scouring pads, powdered cleaners, bleach or cleaners containing bleach because these products can scratch and weaken the paint finish.

Protect the paint finish. The finish on the outside of the refrigerator is a high quality, baked-on paint finish. With proper care, it will stay new-looking and rust-free for years. Apply a coat of kitchen/appliance wax when the refrigerator is new and then at least twice a year.

Inside

Inside the fresh food and frozen food storage compartments should be cleaned at least once a year.

Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning. If this is not practical, wring excess moisture out of sponge or

cloth

when cleaning around switches, lights or controls.

Use warm water and baking soda solution—about tablespoon of baking soda to a quart of water. This both cleans and neutralizes odors. Rinse thoroughly with water and wipe dry. Other parts of the refrigerator, including door gasket, vegetable drawer, ice trays and all plastic parts, can be cleaned the same way. Do not use cleansing powders or other abrasive cleaners. To help prevent odors, leave an open box of baking soda in the rear of the refrigerator, on the top shelf. Change the box every three months. An open box of baking soda in the frozen food storage

compartment will absorb stale odors.

Do not wash any in

your automatic dishwasher.

plastic parts from your refrigerator

Defrosting

Defrost whenever frost becomes 1/4” to 1/2” thick. Never use a sharp or pointed instrument to remove frost as it may result in damage to the cooling coils. Use of a plastic scraper is recommended. Do not use any electrical device in defrosting your refrigerator.

Defrost:

● Remove foods from frozen food storage

compartment and chiller tray. To reduce the amount of thawing of frozen food while defrosting the frozen food storage compartment, store the food in a picnic cooler or other insulated container.

● Turn temperature control to “OFF”.

● Place pans of hot water in frozen food storage

compartment to speed melting of ice.

After Defrosting:

● Empty water from chiller tray.

. Wash chiller tray in warm water and wipe frozen

food storage compartment with a damp cloth.

● Remove vegetable pan and wipe up spills in bottom

of refrigerator.

CAUTION: Do not touch refrigerator coils or refrigerating surfaces, particularly when hands are

damp or wet.

Use of Extension Cords

Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against the use

Electrical Requirements

The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage

rating that matches the rating plate. This provides the best performance and also prevents

overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires.
