CLEANING
Before cleaning the refrigerator or freezer, always discon-
nect the refrigerator from the power supply. To clean the
inside, use a soft cloth with a baking soda solution (one
tablespoon baking soda to 4 cups of water). A mild soap
suds solution or mild detergent is also ok. Wash the ice
cube tray, drip tray, and glide out shelves in a mild deter-
gent solution, then wipe dry with a soft cloth. Clean the
outside with a damp soft cloth and some mild detergent or
appliance cleaner.
VACATION TIME
For short vacation periods (a couple of weeks or less), leave
the control knob at the usual settings but remove food that
might spoil.
During longer absences:
• Remove all food
• Disconnect the unit from its electrical outlet
• Leave the doors ajar to avoid possible formations of
condensation, mold, or odors. Ensure there will be no
children playing with the refrigerator.
POWER FAILURE
Most power failures are corrected within an hour or two,
and will not affect your refrigerator temperatures. Howev-
er, you should minimize the number of times you open the
door while the power is off. During power failures of longer
duration, take steps to protect your food.
IF YOU NEED TO MOVE THE UNIT
•
Unplug the unit and remove all food
•
Securely fasten down and loose items inside the refrig-
erator
•
Tape the door shut
•
To avoid damaging the leveling legs, turn them all the
way into the base.
•
Ensure the unit remains upright during transport.
BEST PRACTICES IN USING THE REFRIGERATOR
• Never place hot foods in the refrigerator
• Beverages should be stored in sealed containers
• Foods to be stored for a long time should be wrapped in
cellophane or polyethylene, or kept in glass containers.
• Never place spoiled food in the refrigerator.
• Don't overload the refrigerator.
• Don't open the door unless necessary.
• Should the refrigerator be stored without use for long
periods, it is suggested (after careful cleaning) to leave
the door ajar to allow the air to circulate inside the unit
in order to avoid the possible formations of condensa-
tion, mold, or odors.
FOOD STORAGE SUGGESTIONS
• Never cover food compartment shelves with aluminum
foil or any other shelf covering material which may pre-
vent air circulation.
• Always remove the porous store wrapping paper from
meats, poultry, and fish. Meats should be wrapped indi-
vidually and placed in a dish for storage. Wrap fish and
poultry in foil or heavy waxed paper. Most fish should be
used the same day of purchase. Packaged meats such
as ham, bacon, dried beef, or frankfurter, store best in
their original packages.
• Allow warm foods to cool to room temperature before
placing them in the refrigerator.
• Always cover open dishes of food, especially leftovers.
Use leftovers within 2 or 3 days.
VEGETABLE CRISPER
The tray at the bottom of the refrigerator is covered to re-
tain moisture. The crisper compartment will enable you to
store vegetables and fruits which would otherwise dry out
rapidly. You can set the humidity on the crisper as follows:
•
For low humidity: move the slider to the left
•
For high humidity: move the slider to the right
