Waxing external painted metal
surfaces helps provide rust
protection. Do not wax plastic
parts. Wax painted metal surfaces
at least twice a year using
appliance wax (or auto paste wax).
Apply wax with a clean, soft cloth.
To help remove odors, you can
wash with a mixture of warm water
and baking soda (2 tbs to 1 qt [26 g
to .95 L] of water).
Do not use cleaning waxes,
concentrated detergents, bleaches,
or cleaners containing petroleum
on plastic parts.
Do not use paper towels, window
sprays, scouring cleansers or
flammable fluids. These can
scratch or damage material.
Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost
automatically.
However, clean both sections about once a
month to prevent odors from building up. Wipe up spills
immediately.
Energy Saving Tip:
Clean the condenser coils regularly. A coil cleaning brush
is available for purchase. Call 1-800-366-PART and ask for
Part Number 4210463.
