Care and Cleaning

Fresh-Food Refrigerator
After cleaning the door gasket, apply a
thin layer of paraffin wax or petroleum
jelly to the door gasket at the hinge side.
This helps keep the gasket from sticking
and bending out of shape.
To remove the light shield, push in the tab
on the left side of the shield and lower it.
Replace with a 15 watt appliance bulb.
Do not store or use gasoline or other
flammable vapors and liquids in the
vicinity of this or any other appliance.
For shorter vacations, remove perishable
foods and leave controls at regular
settings. However, if the room
temperature is expected to drop below
60°F (16°C), follow the same instructions
as for long vacations.
Be sure the fresh-food refrigerator stays in
an upright position during moving.
