Care and Maintenance
SOME IMPORTANT RULES FOR THE CORRECT USE OF
THE REFRIGERATOR
• Never place hot foods in the refrigerator.
• Never place spoiled foods in the refrigerator.
• Don’t overload the refrigerator.
• 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 possible formations of condensation, mold or
odors.
• Turn the temperature control to the “OFF” or “0” position, unplug the unit and remove the food and interior accesso-
ries.
• Wash the inside with a warm water and baking soda solution. The solution should be about 2 tablespoons of baking
soda to a quart of water.
• Wash the baskets and interior accessories with a mild detergent solution.
• The outside of the unit should be cleaned with mild detergent and warm water.
Caution: Failure to unplug the appliance could result in electrical shock or personal injury.
CLEANING THE APPLIANCE
Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the temperature of your refrigerator and/or
freezer 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,
you need to take the proper steps to protect your food.
POWER FAILURE
Short vacations: Leave the unit operating during vacations of less than three weeks.
Long vacations: If the appliance will not be used for several months, remove all food and unplug the power cord. Clean
and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth, leave the door open slightly, blocking it open if neces-
sary.
VACATION TIME
Remove or securely fasten down all loose items inside the unit. To avoid damaging the leveling legs (some models), turn
them all the way into the base.
