Cleaning And Maintenance - White-Westinghouse WRTG213MBJW Instruction Manual

Hints and suggestions
01. Do not let fats of any kind come into contact with the plastic parts of the
refrigerator. Under no circumstances should you lubricate the
refrigerator.
02. Glass and plastic bottles and metallic containers should not be placed in
the freezer compartment, unless so recommended by the manufacturer
on the product packaging.
03. Foods and liquids should not be stored in open containers in the
refrigerator. Carbonated beverages should not be frozen.
04. To freeze fresh foods, use the upper compartment (freezer). Package the
foods properly before freezing. Avoid storing fresh food next to food that
has already been frozen.
05. If there are any problems with the refrigerator, transfer all the food to a
different refrigerator.
06. Excessively heavy, pointy or corrosive objects should not be placed on top
of the refrigerator.
07. The refrigerator doors should only be opened when strictly necessary
during a power outage.
08. Do not touch the food or containers inside the refrigerator with wet
hands, to keep them from freezing.
09. Do not store bottled or canned food, since they expand when they freeze;
this can cause the container to burst.
10. Do not overfill the refrigerator with food, as this may block the circulation
of air and increase energy consumption.
11. Use hermetically sealed recipients and plastic bags to keep food from
drying out, and to keep odors from mixing together.
12. Clean the food, bottles and containers before storing them in the
refrigerator. If necessary, dry them off first.
13. Do not place food inside the temperature sensor or along the rear inside
wall of the refrigerator.
14. Radishes, bananas, pumpkins, onions and canned foods do not need to
be refrigerated.

Cleaning and maintenance

Unplug the refrigerator before starting
to clean it.
Never clean the refrigerator with
flammable fluids such as alcohol,
kerosene, gasoline, thinner, solvents or
chemical / abrasive products like
detergents, acids or vinegar. Cleaning
products such as powdered detergents,
abrasive cleansers, alkaline cleansers,
chemically treated cloths, solvents,
alcohol and even hot water should
also not be used to clean the
refrigerator, as they can damage the
paint and the plastic parts.
If you are not going to use the
refrigerator for an extended period of
time, unplug it, clean and dry the
inside, and then close it properly.
Do not clean the Refrigerator by
throwing water directly on it, neither on
the outside, nor on the inside.
Inside
Before cleaning, remember that humid
objects adhere easily to extremely cold
surfaces. For this reason, do not touch
these surfaces with damp cloths,
objects or hands. Clean the inside of
the refrigerator with a cloth dampened
in a solution of warm water and
baking soda (one spoonful of baking
soda for each liter of water). Never use
metallic objects, brushes, abrasive or
alkaline products to clean the plastic
surfaces inside the refrigerator. Plastic
parts should not be washed in hot
water.
