Freezer Compartment
The freezer compartment is not intended for quick freezing of foods; it retains food in a frozen state. The recessed bottom helps to prevent the escape of cold air when the freezer door is opened. The freezer shelf can be adjusted or removed to meet your storage needs.
Fresh Food Compartment
The fresh food compartment stores and cools food.
For best cooling performance, air must be free to circulate within the fresh food compartment. Do not cover the shelves with paper, plastic, etc.
To reduce frost formation on the cooling fins, cover liquids and moist foods, do not place hot foods in the compartment, and do not leave the door open longer than needed.
Allow the refrigerator to cool for 8 hours before loading foods. Loading a warm refrigerator with warm food increases the cool down period.
Defrosting and Cleaning the Refrigerator Interior
Your refrigerator is not frost free and will require periodic defrosting. To defrost, turn the refrigerator off. Empty the freezer and the fresh food compartments. Placing a pan of hot water in the freezer will reduce the defrosting time. Leave the drip tray under the cooling fins. After frost has melted, empty the drip tray and clean the refrigerator.
Add a small quantity of mild dish detergent to lukewarm water and wash the interior of the refrigerator. Do not use abrasive cleansers; they can damage the interior surfaces of the refrigerator. Rinsing both compartments in a solution of baking soda and water (one table spoon of baking soda to one quart of water) will freshen the interiors and neutralize odors. Wipe the interior with a soft dry cloth to prevent water spots. Clean the door gaskets in the same manner as the refrigerator interior. This will help to prolong the life of the gaskets.
Crispers
The crispers, located in the bottom of the fresh food compartment, provide storage to preserve fruit and vegetable freshness. Wrap vegetables with strong odors so that their odor will not be transmitted to other foods. Always insure the crispers are pushed in all the way. Important! The crispers are not dishwasher safe.
Moisture Reduction Heater
Your refrigerator is equipped with a heater that prevents moisture from forming on the center divider between the freezer and fresh food compartment doors. This heater is activated and deactivated when the refrigerator is turned "On" and "Off".
