Normal Phenomena
It is normal that both side panels and the top of the refrigerator be warm because of the built-in
condenser.
There may be condensation on the surface of the appliance when it is placed in an area of high
humidity or when the weather is hot. It resembles the moisture that condenses on a glass of cold
liquid during summer. Dry it with a clean, soft cloth.
Occasionally the sound of a gurgling liquid can be heard. This is the refrigerant flowing through
the condensing tubes. The sound can also be heard when the refrigerator stops working.
Care and Maintenance
Cleaning Your Refrigerator
Turn the temperature control to 0 (Off), unplug the refrigerator, and remove the food, shelves,
and any trays.
Wash the inside surfaces with a solution of a warm water and baking soda. The solution should
consist of about 2 tablespoons of baking soda to a quart of water. If you use a spray bottle, do
not spray in the area of the temperature control, vents or any electrical connections.
Clean the door gasket with a soft cloth dampened in warm water or mild detergent solution.
Wash the shelves and trays with a mild detergent solution.
The outside of the refrigerator should be cleaned with mild detergent and warm water. Rinse well
and wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth.
Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth when cleaning the area of the controls, or any
electrical parts.
Dust on the compressor and condensing coils (at the back of the appliance) will affect the
diffusion of heat. Clean them periodically with a soft brush or dusting utensil.
Vacation Time
Short vacations: Leave the refrigerator 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 necessary.
Moving Your Refrigerator
1. Remove all the food.
2. Securely tape down all loose items inside your refrigerator.
3. Tape the door shut.
4. Be sure the refrigerator stays secure in the upright position during transportation. Also protect
the outside of the refrigerator with a blanket or similar item.
