CARE AND CLEANING
NOTE
•Turning the refrigerator temperature control to “OFF” (See page 8) turns off the compressor, but does not disconnect electrical power to the lights or other electrical components. Unplug the unit or switch the breaker that supplies power to the unit to the off position.
•Do not use razor blades or other sharp instruments which can scratch the appliance surface when removing adhesive labels. Any glue left from tape or labels can be removed with a mixture of warm water and mild detergent, or, touch the glue residue with the sticky side of tape you have already removed. Do not remove the serial plate.
