A WARNING!

HOW TOCONNECTELECTRICITY

Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.

Thepower cord of this appliance isequipped with a 3- prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard

:S-prong(grounding)wall outlet to minimizethe possibility of electric shock hazard from this

appliance. Have the wall outlet and circuit checkedby a

qualified electricianto make surethe outlet is properly grounded.

Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to

have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.

Therefrigerator should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which hasa voltage

rating that matches the rating plate.

Thisprovides the best performance and alsoprevents overloading housewiring circuits which could cause a

fire hazardfrom overheated wires. Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the

power cord.Always grip plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet.

Do not wipe the refrigerator with a soiled dish cloth or wet towel. These may leave a

residue that can erode the paint. Do not usescouring pads, powdered cleaners, bleach or cleaners containing bleach

because these products can scratch and weaken the paint finish.

Cleaning the Inside

Thestainless steel panels and door handles.

Stainlesssteel (onsome models)can be cleaned with a commercially available

stainlesssteel cleaner. Aspray-on stainless steel cleanerworks best.

Do not use appliance wax or polish

on the stainless steel.

Silver-plated plastic parts. Wash parts with soap or other mild detergents. Wipe clean

with a sponge,damp cloth or paper towel.

Donot scrub with steel-wool pads or other

abrasive cleaners.

Tohelp prevent odors, leaveanopen box of baking soda in the refrigerator and freezer

compartments. Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning. If

this is not practical, wring excessmoisture

out

of sponge or cloth when cleaning around switches, lights or controls.

Usean appliance wax polish on the inside surface between the doors.

Usewarm water and baking soda solution- about a tablespoon (15ml)of baking sodato

a quart (1liter)of water. Thisboth cleansand neutralizesodors.Rinseandwipe dry.

After cleaning the door gaskets,apply a thin lager of petroleumjelly to the door gasketsat

the hinge side.Thishelpskeepthe gaskets from sticking and bending out of shape.

Avoid cleaning cold glass shelves with hot

water because the extreme temperature difference may cause them to break.

Handle glass shelves carefully. Bumping tempered glass can cause it to shatter.

Do not wash any plastic refrigerator parts in the dishwasher.
