Care and Cleaning
Keep your refrigerator and freezer clean to prevent odor
Always unplug the power cord from the wall outlet before cleaning. Turning the control to OFF does not disconnect power to the controls, light bulb, or other electrical components.
Damp objects stick to cold metal surfaces. Do not touch refriger- ated surfaces with wet or damp hands.
Inside
Wash inside surfaces of the refrigerator and freezer with a solution of 2 tablespoons baking soda in 1 quart warm water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Be sure to wring excess water out of sponge or cloth before cleaning around the controls, light bulb, or any electrical parts.
Wash removable parts such as shelves and drawers with baking soda solution or mild detergent and warm water. Do not use harsh cleaners on these surfaces. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Clean the door gaskets with mild suds, rinse with clear water and wipe dry. Do not use razor blades or other sharp instruments which can scratch the appliance surface when removing adhesive labels. Any glue left from the tape or energy label can be removed with a mixture of warm water and mild detergent, or, touch the residue with the sticky side of tape already removed. Do not remove the serial plate.
To avoid damage and help the refrigerator run as efficiently as possible, clean the condenser periodically.
Outside
Wash the cabinet and handles with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth.
When moving the refrigerator, pull straight out. Do not shift the refrigerator from side to side as this may tear or gouge the floor covering. If the refrigerator has an automatic ice maker, be careful not to move the refrigerator beyond plumbing connections.
Periodically clean the condenser (black tubes and wires on the back of the refrigerator). Using a vacuum with its dusting tool attachment, vacuum the coils to remove dust
The defrost water pan is located at the bottom rear of the refrigerator on top of the compressor (shown left). The pan should be cleaned periodically. Wipe clean with a damp cloth.
Replacing the Light Bulb
To replace the light bulb:
1.Unplug the refrigerator.
2.Wear gloves as protection against possible broken glass.
3.Replace old bulb with an appliance bulb of the same wattage.
4.Remember to plug the refrigerator back in.
