Cleaning Your Appliance

 Unplug the unit and remove the food and baskets.
Wash the inside with a warm water and baking soda solution. The solution should be about 2 tablespoons of baking

soda to a quart of water.
 Wash the baskets with a mild detergent solution.
The outside of the unit should be cleaned with mild detergent and warm water.

CAUTION
Failure to unplug the refrigerator-freezer could result in electrical shock or personal injury.
 Power Failure
Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the temperature of your refrigerator-freezer 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, you need
to take the proper steps to protect your food.
 Vacation Time
Short vacations: Leave the unit operating during vacations of less than three weeks.
Long vacations: If the appliance will not be used for several months, remove all food and unplug the power cord. Clean
and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth, leave the door open slightly: blocking it open if
necessary
Moving Your Appliance

Remove all the food.
•
• Securely tape down all loose items inside your unit.
 Turn the leveling screws up to the base to avoid damage.
 Tape the door shut.
 Be sure the unit stays in the upright position during transportation.
Energy Saving Tips

• The unit 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 them in the unit. Overloading the unit forces the compressor
to run longer. Foods that freeze too slowly may lose quality, or spoil.
 Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in the unit. This cuts down on frost
build-up inside the freezer.
Organize and label 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.
