• D o not use harsh or abrasive chemicals, ammonia, chlorine bleach, concentrated detergents, solvents
or metal scouring pads. Some of the chemicals may dissolve, damage and/or discolor
your refrigerator.
• I t is recommended that the unit be cleaned periodically to help keep the unit odor free and running
efficiently.
Door Gasket
• B e sure to keep the door gasket (seal) clean and pliable to keep the unit running efficiently and to
ensure a proper seal.
• C lean the door gaskets every three months according to the General Cleaning instructions above.
• P etroleum jelly applied lightly on the hinge side of the gaskets will keep the gasket pliable and ensure
a good seal.

Power Interruptions

• O ccasionally there may be power interruptions due to thunderstorms or other causes. Remove the
power cord from the AC outlet when a power outage occurs. When power has been restored, re-plug
the power cord back into the AC outlet. If the outage is for a prolonged period, inspect and discard
spoiled food in the refrigerator. Clean the refrigerator before reusing.
Vacation and Moving Care
• F or long vacations or absences, empty food from the refrigerator and turn the temperature control
knob to the OFF position. Unplug the refrigerator. Clean the interior and exterior, including the door
gaskets, according to the General Cleaning instructions above. Prop the doors open so that air can
circulate inside, and to avoid the possible formation of condensation, mold and odors.
• W hen moving, remove all food from the refrigerator; turn the temperature control knob to the OFF
position. Unplug the refrigerator. Securely tape down all loose items inside your refrigerator and tape
the door shut. Be sure to move the refrigerator in the upright position. Do not move with the unit lying
down. Possible damage to the sealed system could occur.

Energy Saving Tips

• T he refrigerator should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat-producing
appliances or heating ducts, and out of direct sunlight.
• L et hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the refrigerator. Overloading the refrigerator
forces the compressor to run longer and thus increases energy consumption. Foods that refrigerate too
slowly may lose quality or spoil.
• Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in the refrigerator.
• T h e wire shelves should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper towels. Liners interfere
with cold air circulation, making the refrigerator less efficient.
• O rganize 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.
