USE AND CARE INFORMATION

•TIPS ON EVERYDAY USE AND CARE

DEFROST: For the most efficient operation of your refrigerator, defrost it whenever a ¼”-thick layer of ice/frost forms (except for frost-free models). When defrosting, Turn off control. Remove all food from the refrigerator. Do not use heater devices to speed defrosting. Do not scrape or use sharp objects in the ice storage compartment. Let frost melt. Pan of warm water in ice storage compartments speeds defrosting. Empty defrost tray. Reset cold control. Replace food.

FOR ALL CLEANING: Mix 2 tablespoons baking soda or mild soap with 1 quart warm water. No strong cleaners, scouring powder or pads should be used. For persistent odors, Absocold’s Service Department has odor removal products. Vacuum the tubing on the outside back when dusty.
