Proper Refrigerator Care and Cleaning
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
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 to avoid
personal injury or product damage.
GENERAL
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 according to general instructions. Gaskets must be kept clean and pliable
to assure a proper seal.
• Petroleum jelly applied lightly on the hinge side of gaskets will keep the gasket pliable and ensure a good seal.
POWER INTERRUPTIONS
• Occasionally there may be power interruptions due to thunderstorms or other causes. Remove the power cord
from AC outlet when a power outage occurs. When power has been restored, replug power cord to AC outlet. If
outage is for a prolonged period, inspect and discard spoiled food in refrigerator. Clean refrigerator before reusing.
VACATION AND MOVING CARE
• For long vacations or absences, empty food from refrigerator, move the temperature dial to the "0" position and
clean the refrigerator and door gaskets according to "General Cleaning" section. Prop doors open, so air can cir-
culate 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 refrigerater 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 efficient.
• 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.
