Cleaning
, Wash any removable parts of the refrigerator interior,
and exterior with mild detergent and warm water. Wipe
dry. Do not use harsh cleaners on these surfaces.
- Do not use razor blades or other sharp instruments,
which can scratch the appliance surface when removing
adhesive labels. Any glue left[ from the tape can be
removed with a mixture of warm water and mild
detergent, or touch the residue with the sticky side of
tape already removed. Do not remove the serial plate.
To allow door to close and seal properly, DO NOT let
food packages extend past the front of shelves.
Shelf Front
- Install the refrigerator in the coolest part of a dry and
ventilated room, out of direct sunlight and away from
heating ducts or registers. Do not place the refrigerator
next to heat-producing appliances such as a range,
oven or dishwasher.
- Level the refrigerator so the doors close tightly.
- Do not overcrowd the refrigerator or block cold air
vents. Doing so causes the refrigerator to run longer
and use more energy. Shelves should not be lined
with aluminum foil, wax paper or paper toweling.
Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the
refrigerator less efficient.
- Wipe bottles and containers dry before placing them in
the refrigerator. This cuts down on moisture build-up
inside the unit.
- Organize the refrigerator to reduce door openings.
Remove as many items as needed at one time and
close the door as soon as possible.
