CARE & MAINTENANCE

CLEANING

Ensure the appliance is unplugged before cleaning.

• To clean the inside of the appliance, use a soft cloth and a solution of a

tablespoon of baking soda to one quart of water or a mild soap solution or

some mild detergent.

• Wash removable shelves in a mild detergent solution, then dry and wipe

with a soft cloth.

Ammonia or alcohol can damage the appearance of the appliance. Never

use any commercial or abrasive cleaners or sharp objects on any part of

the temperature of your appliance if you minimize the number of times the

door is opened. If the power is going to be off for a longer period of time,

take the proper steps to protect your contents.

Note: Wait 3 to 5 minutes before attempting to restart the refrigerator if

operation has been interrupted.

compressor causes the defrost water to evaporate.

ACATION

• Long vacations: If the appliance will not be used for several months,

remove all items and turn off the appliance. Clean and dry the interior

thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth, leave the door open slightly,

blocking it open if necessary.

• Turn the adjustable leg up to the base to avoid damage.

• Tape the door shut.
