CARE & MAINTENANCE
CLEANING
Ensure the appliance is unplugged before cleaning.
To clean the inside of the appliance, use a soft cloth and a solution of a tablespoon of baking soda to one quart of water or a mild soap solution or some mild detergent.
- Wash removable 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.
- It is important to keep the area clean where the door seals against the cabinet. Clean this area with a soapy cloth. Rinse with a damp cloth and let dry.
Note: Do not use cleaners containing ammonia or alcohol on the appliance. Ammonia or alcohol can damage the appearance of the appliance. Never use any commercial or abrasive cleaners or sharp objects on any part of the appliance.
POWER FAILURE
Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the temperature of your appliance if you minimize the number of times the door is opened. If the power is going to be off for a longer period of time, take the proper steps to protect your contents.
Note: Wait 3 to 5 minutes before attempting to restart the refrigerator if operation has been interrupted.
VACATION
- Short vacations: Leave the appliance operating during vacations of less than three weeks.
- Long vacations: If the appliance will not be used for several months, remove all items and turn off the appliance. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth, leave the door open slightly, blocking it open if necessary.
DEFROSTING INSTRUCTIONS
There is no need to defrost the refrigerator compartment as any ice build up on the back wall will be defrosted automatically. Defrost water from the refrigerator compartment is channeled into a drip tray above the compressor. Heat transfer from the compressor causes the water to evaporate.
The freezer compartment should be defrosted any time the frost reaches 3 - 5mm (1/4 in) thick. To defrost the freezer compartment, unplug the appliance and remove all frozen contents. Leave the freezer door open to allow the frost to melt. Discard the melted water and leave the door open until the interior of the freezer is dry.
Remember to protect your floors during the defrosting process by putting towels or a pan under the appliance in case of leaking.
Important: Never use sharp or pointed instruments to remove ice. The freezer compartment contains refrigerated gas lines. If these lines are accidentally pierced it will render the refrigerator inoperable and void the manufacturer's warranty. Do not allow the refrigerator to continue operation if the freezer compartment is pierced.
MOVING
- Remove all contents.
- Turn the adjustable legs up to avoid damage.
- Tape the door shut.
- Be sure the appliance stays in the upright position during transportation. Protect the outside of the appliance with a blanket.
- If the appliance is placed on its back or side during transportation, upon reaching the destination, allow it to remain upright for 6 hours before plugging in to avoid damage to internal components.
DISPOSAL
This appliance may not be treated as regular household waste, it should be taken to the appropriate waste collection point for recycling of electrical components. For information on local waste collection points, contact your local waste removal agency or government office.
