Care and Cleaning

Damp objects stick to cold
metal surfaces. Do not touch refrigerated
surfaces with wet or damp hands.
To avoid damage and help
the refrigerator run as efficiently as
possible, clean the condenser and air
vents periodically.
Keep your refrigerator and freezer clean to prevent odor build-up. Wipe up any spills
immediately and clean both sections at least twice a year. Never use metallic
scouring pads, brushes, abrasive cleaners or strong alkaline solutions on any
surface. Do not wash any removable parts in a dishwasher.
Always unplug the power cord from the wall outlet before cleaning.
NOTE: Turning the control to OFF does not disconnect power to the controls, light
bulb, or other electrical components.

Inside

Wash inside surfaces of the refrigerator and freezer with a solution of 2 tablespoons
baking soda in 1 quart warm water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Be sure to wring
excess water out of sponge or cloth before cleaning around the controls,
light bulb, or any electrical parts.
Wash removable parts such as shelves and drawers with baking soda solution or mild
detergent and warm water. Do Not Use Harsh Cleaners On These Surfaces. Rinse
and dry thoroughly. Clean the door gaskets with mild suds, rinse with clear water and
wipe dry. Do not use razor blades or other sharp instruments which can scratch the
appliance surface when removing adhesive labels. Any glue left from the tape or
energy label can be removed with a mixture of warm water and mild detergent, or,
touch the residue with the sticky side of tape already removed. Do Not Remove The
Serial Plate.

Outside

Wash the cabinet and handles with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse
well and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth. Do not use commercial household
cleaners, ammonia, or alcohol to clean handles.
Remove any dust or dirt from the front of the toe grille using a vacuum cleaner with
its dusting tool attachment. Remove the toe grille by pulling it straight out. While the
grille is removed, vacuum the backside of the grille and wipe with a sudsy cloth or
sponge. Periodically clean the condenser (black tubes and wires beneath the
refrigerator, behind the toe grille). Do not allow lint or dust to accumulate on the coils.
Insert a long handled brush or vacuum attachment between the two coils to bring the
lint forward. To replace the toe grille, line up clips with holes and push grille straight
on. Use caution when cleaning in the area of the coils. Surfaces
there may be sharp.
The air vents on the lower access panel at the rear of the refrigerator should be
cleaned periodically. Clean the vents by using a vacuum cleaner with its dusting tool
attachment. When moving the refrigerator, pull straight out. Do not shift the
refrigerator from side to side as this may tear or gouge the floor covering. Be careful
not to move the refrigerator beyond plumbing connections.

To replace the light bulb in either compartment:
1. Unplug the refrigerator.
2. Wear gloves as protection against possible broken glass.
3. Replace old bulb with an appliance bulb of the same wattage.
