Energy-Saving Tips; Care & Cleaning - Frigidaire FGRU19F6SS Use And Care Manual

ENERGY-SAVING TIPS

• Do not overcrowd the unit or block cold air vents. Doing so causes the appliance to run longer
and use more energy.
• Cover foods and wipe containers dry before placing them in the appliance. This cuts down on
moisture build-up inside the unit.
• Organize the appliance to reduce door openings. Remove as many items as needed at one time
and close the door as soon as possible.
CARE AND CLEANING
Keep your refrigerator clean to prevent odor build-up. Wipe up any spills immediately and clean at
least twice a year. Never use metallic scouring pads, brushes, abrasive cleaners or strong alkaline
solutions on any surface. Do not wash any removable parts in a dishwasher. Always unplug the
electrical power.
CAUTION
• When moving the refrigerator, pull straight out. Do not shift the refrigerator from
side to side as this may tear or gouge the floor covering.
• Damp objects stick to cold metal surfaces. Do not touch interior metal surfaces with
wet or damp hands.
Vacation and Moving Tips
Short Vacations:
• Leave the refrigerator operating during vacations of less than 3 weeks.
Long Vacations:
If the refrigerator will not be used for several months:
• Remove all food and unplug the power cord.
• Clean and dry the interior thoroughly.
• Leave the refrigerator door open slightly, blocking it open if necessary, to prevent odor and
mold growth.

• Locate the appliance in the coolest part of
the room, out of direct sunlight, and away
from heating ducts or registers. Do not
place the unit next to heat-producing
appliances such as a range, oven, or
dishwasher. If this is not possible, a section
of cabinetry or an added layer of insulation
between the two appliances will help the
unit operate more efficiently.
• Level appliance so that the door
closes tightly.
• Refer to the "SETTING THE TEMPERATURE
CONTROL" section for the suggested
temperature control settings.
