Care and cleaning of the refrigerator.

Cleaning the Outside

Keep the outside clean. Wipe with a clean cloth lightly dampened with kitchen appliance wax or mild liquid dish detergent. Dry and polish with a clean, soft cloth.

Do not wipe the refrigerator with a soiled dish cloth or wet towel. These may leave a residue that can erode the paint. Do not use scouring pads, powdered cleaners, bleach or cleaners containing bleach because these products can scratch and weaken the paint finish.

Protect the paint finish. The finish on the outside of the refrigerator is a high quality, baked-on paint finish. With proper care, it will stay new-looking and rust-free for years. Apply a coat of kitchen/appliance wax when the refrigerator is new, and then at least twice a year.

Cleaning the Inside

To help prevent odors, leave an open box of baking soda in the refrigerator.

Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning. If this is not practical, wring excess moisture out of sponge or cloth when cleaning around the control.

Use warm water and baking soda solution— about a tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda to a quart (1 L) of water. This both cleans and neutralizes odors. Rinse and wipe dry.

Other parts of the refrigerator—including door gaskets, fruit and vegetable drawers, and all plastic parts—can be cleaned the same way.

Do not wash any plastic refrigerator parts in the dishwasher.

Defrosting

Defrost whenever frost on the wall of the ice tray compartment becomes 1/4 thick. Never use

a sharp or metallic instrument to remove frost as it may damage the cooling coils. (A punctured cooling coil will cause serious problems and void the warranty.) We recommend using a plastic scraper. Do not use any electrical device in defrosting your refrigerator.

To defrost, remove foods and ice trays from the ice tray compartment. Set the temperature control dial at OFF position. Defrosting usually takes a few hours.

To defrost faster, keep the door open. Also, pouring warm (not hot) water on the frosted part may speed defrosting.

Do not use boiling water—it may damage plastic parts.

After defrosting, empty water from the drip tray. Wash the drip tray in warm water. Wipe the ice tray compartment with a damp cloth. Then turn the temperature control to the desired setting and return food and ice trays to the refrigerator.

NOTE: If ice buildup is very thick, it may keep the ice tray compartment door from opening or closing completely. Don’t try to force it open; after defrosting, the door will open and close easily.

Preparing for Vacation

For long vacations or absences, remove food and unplug the refrigerator. Move the control to the OFF position, and clean the interior with a baking soda solution of one tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda to one quart (1 liter) of water. Leave the door open.

 

Preparing to Move

 

Secure all loose items such as shelves and ice trays by taping them securely in place to

 

prevent damage.

GE 3, and 4, 2 owner manual Care and cleaning of the refrigerator

2, and 4, 3 specifications

The GE 3 and 4,2 are advanced electric locomotive models produced by General Electric, recognized for their robust performance, efficiency, and technological innovations. These locomotives have become staples in freight transportation, contributing significantly to the evolution of railway systems.

The GE 3 model offers a powerful traction system with a horsepower rating typically ranging from 2,500 to 3,200 HP, which enables it to handle heavy freight loads across various terrains. One of its primary features is the AC propulsion technology, providing smoother acceleration and improved traction compared to traditional DC systems. This technology enhances energy efficiency, reducing operational costs for railway operators.

A notable aspect of the GE 3 is its modular design, allowing for easy upgrades and maintenance. This design philosophy ensures that the locomotive can be adapted to meet changing operational demands without extensive overhauls. Additionally, the GE 3 is equipped with advanced braking systems, including dynamic and regenerative braking, which not only improves safety but also contributes to energy savings by converting kinetic energy back into usable power.

Turning to the GE 4,2, this model continues to build upon the strengths of its predecessors while introducing several new features. It typically has a horsepower range of about 4,200 HP, making it suitable for even heavier freight trains. The GE 4,2 is designed with enhanced aerodynamics, which helps reduce drag and improve fuel efficiency.

This locomotive also showcases cutting-edge technology with its onboard diagnostics system. This system monitors various parameters in real-time, enabling predictive maintenance and reducing downtime. The GE 4,2 is also equipped with the latest traction control technology, which optimizes wheel slip performance, further enhancing its ability to operate efficiently under challenging conditions.

Both the GE 3 and GE 4,2 are designed with operator comfort in mind. They feature ergonomic cab designs with modern instrumentation, reducing fatigue for locomotive engineers during long-haul operations. Safety features are further bolstered by advanced signaling and communication systems, ensuring compliance with contemporary rail safety standards.

In conclusion, the GE 3 and 4,2 locomotives exemplify the intersection of power, efficiency, and cutting-edge technology in freight transportation. Their commitment to performance and sustainability positions them as key players in the future of railway logistics, continually adapting to meet the demands of the industry.
