Maintenance
Cleaning Your Refrigerator
• Disconnect the electrical unit from
the wall outlet.
• Clean interior and parts with a cloth
soaked in lukewarm water and
baking soda solution. A solution of 2
tablespoons baking soda to a quart of
water will clean and neutralize odors.
Rinse and wipe dry.
• Be sure to keep the door gasket
(seal) clean to keep the unit running
efficiently.
• The outside of the refrigerator should
be cleaned with a warm damp cloth
and mild detergent. Do not use harsh
or abrasive cleaners.
• Never clean refrigerator parts with
flammable fluids. The fumes can
create a fire hazard.
Vacation Time
• For long vacations, remove all food.
Then, unplug the electrical cord from
the wall outlet.
• Clean the interior and leave doors
open to avoid possible odor or mold
formation.
• Use extreme caution in the case
of children. The unit should not be
accessible to child's play.

Moving Your Refrigerator

from the wall outlet.
• Remove all the food and securely tape
down all loose items such as shelves,
drawers, and doors.

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 the direct
sunlight.
• Let hot foods cool to room
temperature before placing in the
refrigerator.
• Be sure to wrap foods properly, and
wipe containers dry before placing
them in the refrigerator. This cuts
down on frost build-up inside the
refrigerator.
• Organize and label food to reduce
door openings and extended
searches.
