Cleaning
To clean the inside, use a soft cloth and a mixture of
one tablespoon of baking soda to one quart of water.
Other cleaning solutions options are a mild soap suds
solution, or mild detergent. Wash glass shelves in a
mild detergent solution, then dry and wipe with a soft
cloth. Clean the outside with a soft damp cloth and
some mild detergent or appliance cleaner.
Vacation Time
For short vacation periods, leave the control knob at
its normal setting. During longer absences:
(a) remove all foods.
(b) disconnect power cord from electrical outlet.
(c) clean the refrigerator thoroughly, including drip
tray (defrost pan), located on the bottom of the
unit.
(d) leave door open to avoid possible formations of
condensation, mold or odors.
Power Failure
Most power failures are corrected within an hour or
two and will not affect your refrigerator temperatures.
However, you should minimize the number of door
openings while the power is off. During power
failures of longer duration, take steps to protect your
food.
Occasionally, a minor problem may arise, and a service call may not be necessary- use this troubleshooting
guide for a possible solution. If the unit continues to operate improperly, call an authorized service depot or
Danby's Toll Free Number for assistance.
