CARE AND MAINTENANCE

CLEANING

To clean the inside, use a soft cloth and a mixture of one tablespoon of baking soda to one quart of water. Other cleaning options are a mild soap suds solution, or mild deter- gent. 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.

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 unit. To avoid damaging the leveling legs, turn them all the way into the base.

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 pack- ages.

•Allow warm foods to cool to room temperature before plac- ing them in the refrigerator.

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

VACATION TIME

For short vacation periods, leave the control knob at its nor- mal setting. During longer absences:

(a)remove all foods.

(b)disconnect power cord from electrical outlet.

(c)clean the refrigerator thoroughly, including drip tray (defrost pan), located on the bottom of the unit.

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

Some Important Rules for the Correct Use of the Refrigerator

•Never place hot foods in the refrigerator.

•Never place spoiled foods in the unit.

•Don’t overload the unit.

•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 unit in order to avoid the

possibility of condensation, mold or odors.
