• Additional cleaning tips are listed below:
PART COMMENTS
Outside • 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.
Inside walls
(allow freezer
to warm up so
cloth won't
stick)
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).
Door liners
and gaskets
Do not use cleaning waxes,
concentrated detergents,
bleaches, or cleaners containing
petroleum on plastic parts.
Plastic parts
(covers and
panels)
Do not use paper towels, window
sprays, scouring cleansers or
flammable fluids. These can
scratch or damage material.
Condenser
coils
• Roll refrigerator out away from the
wall.
Vacuum coils when dusty or dirty.
Coils may need to be cleaned as
often as every other month.
Roll refrigerator back into place.
Make sure to leave 1 in (2.5 cm)
between the cabinet back and the
wall.
• Check to see if the refrigerator is
level.

NOTE: Not all appliance bulbs will fit your refrigerator. Be
sure to replace the bulb with one of the same size, shape,
and wattage.
To change the refrigerator light:
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Reach behind the Control Panel and unscrew the bulb.
3. Replace the bulb with a 40-watt appliance bulb.
4. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.
If the electricity in your house goes off, call the power
company and ask how long it will be off.
1. If the power will be out for 24 hours or less, keep both
refrigerator doors closed to help foods stay cold and
frozen.
2. If the power will be out for more than 24 hours:
a) Remove all frozen food and store it in a frozen food
locker.
OR
b)
Place 2 Ibs (907 g) of dry ice in the freezer for every
cubic foot (28 L) of freezer space. This will keep the
food frozen for two to four days. While handling dry
ice, wear gloves to protect your hands from ice
burns.
OR
c) If neither a food locker nor dry ice is available,
consume or can perishable food at once.
REMEMBER: A full freezer stays cold longer than a
partially filled one. A freezer full of meat stays cold longer
than a freezer full of baked goods. If you see that food
contains ice crystals, it may be refrozen, although the
quality and flavor may be affected. If the condition of the
food is poor dispose of it.
