Function of light-wave fresh-keeping lamp in the crispers
Use of the light-waves is designed to preserve and extend the life of fruits and vegetables.
The light-wave fresh-keeping lamp will turn off if the door is open for more than 60 seconds.
Once the door closes, this feature will cycle for a 15 minute period before turning off.
Ice-making switch

Care and cleaning of the refrigerator.
Cleaning the Outside
Keep the outside clean. Wipe with a clean cloth lightly dampened with mild liquid dish detergent. Dry with a clean, soft cloth. Do not wipe the stainless steel door with a soiled dishcloth or wet towel. These may leave a residue that can erode the finish.
Do not use scouring pads, powdered cleaners, bleach or cleaners containing bleach because these products can scratch and weaken the finish. Use only a liquid cleanser free of grit and rub in the direction of the brush lines
. The stainless steel door and door handle can be cleaned with a commercially available stainless steel cleaner. Cleaners with oxalic acid (e.g. Bar Keepers Friend Soft Cleanser) will remove rust, lime, and other tarnish. Do not use appliance wax or polish on the stainless steel.
Cleaning the Inside
To help prevent odors, leave an open box of baking soda in the fresh food and freezer compartments.
Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning. If this is not practical, wring excess moisture out of sponge or cloth when cleaning around switches, lights or controls.
Use warm water and baking soda solution—about a tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda to a quart (1 liter) of water. This both cleans and neutralizes odors. Rinse and wipe dry.
Other parts of the refrigerator—including door gaskets, fruit and vegetable drawers, and all plastic parts—can be cleaned the same way.
After cleaning the door gaskets, apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly to the door gaskets at the hinge side. This helps keep the gaskets from sticking and bending out of shape. Do not use cleansing powders or other abrasive cleaners.
Do not wash any plastic refrigerator parts in the dishwasher.
Avoid cleaning cold glass shelves (on some models) with hot water because the extreme temperature difference may cause them to break. Handle glass shelves carefully. Bumping tempered glass can cause it to shatter.
Replacing the Light Bulb
WARNING: Light bulb may be hot. Do not attempt to replace the light bulb for this unit. A burned-out light bulb may break if attempted to fix. Please contact your local Moffat Service Technician or contact 800.561.3344.
CAUTION: Using a bulb rated higher than 40W may damage the control housing and light lens.
Preparing for Vacation
For long vacations or absences, remove food and unplug the refrigerator. Clean the interior with a baking soda solution of one tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda to one quart (1 liter) of water. Leave the doors open.
Preparing to Move
Remove food and unplug the refrigerator. Secure all loose items such as shelves and drawers by taping them securely in place to prevent damage.
Be sure the refrigerator stays in an upright position during moving
Troubleshooting Tips
Normal Operating Sounds
Do you hear what I hear? These sounds are normal.
The new high efficiency compressor may run faster and longer than your old refrigerator and you may hear a high-pitched hum or pulsating sound while it is operating.
You may hear a whooshing sound when the doors close. This is due to pressure equalizing within the refrigerator.
You may hear the fans spinning at high speeds. This happens when the refrigerator is first plugged in, when the doors are opened frequently or when a large amount of food is added to the refrigerator or freezer compartments. The fans are helping to maintain the correct temperatures.
You may hear cracking or popping sounds when the refrigerator is first plugged in. This happens as the refrigerator cools to the correct temperature.
The compressor may cause a clicking or chirping sound when attempting to restart (this could take up to 5 minutes).
Expansion and contraction of cooling coils during and after defrost can cause a cracking or popping sound.
On models with an ice maker, after an ice making cycle, you may hear the ice cubes dropping into the ice bucket.
The flow of refrigerant through the freezer cooling coils may make a gurgling noise like boiling water.
Water dropping on the defrost heater can cause a sizzling, popping or buzzing sound during the defrost cycle.
A water dripping noise may occur during the defrost cycle as ice melts from the evaporator and flows into the drain pan.
Closing the door may cause a gurgling sound due to pressure equalization.
