Cleaning

Wash glass shelves in a mild detergent solution, then dry and wipe with a soft cloth. Clean the outside with a soft damp cloth and some mild detergent or appliance cleaner.

Vacation Time

(a)remove all foods,

(b)disconnect power cord from electrical outlet

(c)clean the refrigerator thoroughly, including defrost pan, located above compressor at back of unit.

(d)leave door open to avoid possible formations of condensate, mold or odors.

Power Failure

Most power failures are corrected within an hour or two and will not affect your refrigerator temperatures. However, you should minimize the number of door openings while the power is off.

During power failures of longer duration, take steps to protect your food by placing dry ice on top of packages.

If You Move

Remove or securely fasten down all loose items inside the refrigerator. To avoid damaging the leveling legs, turn them all the way into the base.

Some Important Rules for the

Correct Use of the Refrigerator

•Never place hot foods in the refrigerator.

•Beverages should be stored in sealed containers.

•Foods to be stored for a long time should be wrapped in cellophane or polyethylene, or kept in glass containers. Never place spoiled foods in the cabinet.

•Don’t overload the cabinet.

•Don’t open the door unless necessary.

•Should the refrigerator be stored without use for long periods it is suggested, after a careful cleaning, to leave the door ajar to allow the air to circulate inside the cabinet in order to avoid possible formations of condensate, mold or odors.

Food Storage Suggestions

Fresh Food Compartment

•Never cover food compartment shelves with aluminum foil or any other shelf covering material which may prevent

air circulation.

•Always remove porous store wrapping paper from meats, poultry and fish. Meats should be wrapped individually

and placed in a dish for storage. Wrap fish and poultry in foil or heavy waxed paper. Most fish should be used the same day of purchase. Packaged meats such as ham, bacon, dried beef, or frankfurter, store best in their original packages.

•Allow warm foods to cool to room temperature before placing them in the refrigerator.

•Always cover open dishes of food, especially leftovers. Use leftovers within 2 or 3 days.

Vegetable Crisper

The vegetable crisper is located at the bottom of the refrigerator compartment and is covered to retain moisture. The crisper compartment will enable you to store fruits and vegetables which would otherwise dry out rapidly. The humidity level inside the crisper can be controlled by adjusting the sliding damper control located at the front of the crisper drawer.
