CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Cleaning Your Unit
• Turn the temperature control to "OFF,” unplug the unit, and remove contents (food,
shelves, and trays).
• Wash the inside surfaces 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 shelves and trays with a mild detergent solution.
• The outside of the unit should be cleaned with mild detergent and warm water.
• Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth before cleaning the area of the controls,
or any electrical parts.
• Wash the outside cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse well and
wipe dry with a clean soft cloth.
Automatic Defrosting
There is no need to defrost the refrigerator. Defrost water collects and passes thru the
drain outlet in the rear wall into a tray located above the compressor, where it evaporates.
NOTE: If the unit is unplugged, power lost, or turned off; you must wait 3 to 5 minutes
before restarting the unit. If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the refrigerator
will not start.
Power Failure
Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the
temperature of your unit 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.
Vacation Time
• 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 necessary.
Moving Your Unit
• Remove all the food.
• Securely tape down all loose items inside your unit.
• Turn the leveling screw up to the base to avoid damage.
• Tape the door shut.
• Be sure the unit stays secure in the upright position during transportation. Also protect
the outside of unit with a blanket, or similar item.
Energy Saving Tips
• The unit should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing
appliances, and out of the direct sunlight.
• Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the unit. Overloading the
unit forces the compressor to run longer.
• Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in the
unit. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the unit.
• Unit storage bin should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling.
Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the unit less efficient.
• Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as
many items as needed at one time, and close the door as soon as possible.
