CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Cleaning Your Appliance
• Turn the temperature control to OFF, unplug the unit, and remove the contents, including
shelves and trays.
• Wash the inside surfaces with warm water and baking soda solution (about 2 tablespoons of
baking soda to a quart of water).
• Wash the shelf and any trays with a mild detergent solution.
• Wash the outside cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse well and wipe dry
with a soft, clean cloth.
• Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth before cleaning the area of the controls, or any
electrical parts.
Vacation Time
• 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 contents 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 Appliance
• Remove all stored items.
• Securely tape down all loose items, such as the shelf and chiller compartment door, inside your
refrigerator.
• Turn the leveling screw up to the base to avoid damage.
• Tape the door shut.
• 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.
Energy-Saving Tips
• The refrigerator should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat-producing
appliances and out of direct sunlight.
• Let warm items cool to room temperature before placing them in the refrigerator. Overloading the
unit forces the compressor to run longer.
• Be sure to package stored items properly and wipe containers dry before placing them in the
appliance. This cuts down on frost build-up in the interior.
• Refrigerator shelves should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling. Liners
interfere with cold air circulation, making the refrigerator less efficient.
• Organize and label items to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as many
items as needed at one time and close the door as soon as possible.
