outside
The steel exterior is coated with a high
quality baked-on finish. However, without
proper care, degradation of this finish can
occur and permit rust spots to form on the
outside of the cabinet.
It is recommended that a coat of wax or
Jiquid polish be applied
when the refrige-
rator
is new and repeated several times
each year. The wax or polish, which should
be suitable for use on appliances, will close
the microscopic
pores in the paint and
seal out contaminants
which can cause
rust.
Between waxings, clean the exterior finish
with a clean, soft cloth dampened with a
mild household detergent.
Rinse with a
clean, lightly dampened cloth and dry thor-
oughly.
Defrost 'Water Pan
Pan located behind grille should be cleaned
at least once a year.

TIPS cm!
FREEZING Fcxxm
There are three essential requirements for
efficient home freezing.
First, of course, is initial quality. Only top-
quality foods should be frozen. Freezing re-
tains quality and flavor; it cannot improve
quality.
Second is speed. The quicker fruits and
vegetables are frozen after picking, the bet-
ter the frozen product 'will be. You'll save
time, too, because less culling and sorting
will be necessary.
The third requirement is proper packaging.
Use food wraps designed especially for
freezing; they're readily available in a wide
selection at your favorite store.
ADJUSTABLE SHELVES

Most Hotpoint Top-Mount No-Frost refri
erators have adjustable shelves. This allow
you to vary the amount of space between
shelves and provides greater storage flexi-
bility.
To adjust:
remove shelf by tilting up
at front, then lifting up and out of the track
on the rear wall of the refrigerator as illus-
trated (Fig. 13).
