Care and Cleaning
Damp objects stick to cold
metal surfaces. Do not touch
refrigerated surfaces with wet or damp
hands.
To avoid damage and help
the refrigerator run as efficiently as
possible, clean the condenser
p e r i o d i c a l l y .
Keep your refrigerator and freezer clean to prevent odor build-up. Wipe up any spills
immediately and clean both sections 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 power cord from the wall outlet before cleaning. Turning
the control to OFF does not disconnect power to the controls, light bulb, or other
electrical components.
Inside
Wash inside surfaces of the refrigerator and freezer with a solution of 2 tablespoons
baking soda in 1 quart warm water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Be sure to wring
excess water out of sponge or cloth before cleaning around the controls,
light bulb, or any electrical parts.
Wash removable parts such as shelves and drawers with baking soda solution or mild
detergent and warm water. DO NOT USE HARSH CLEANERS ON THESE SUR-
FACES. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Clean the door gaskets with mild suds, rinse with
clear water and wipe dry. 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 or energy label 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.
Outside
Wash the cabinet and handles with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse well
and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth.
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. If the refrigerator has an
automatic ice maker, be careful not to move the refrigerator beyond plumbing
connections.
Periodically clean the condenser (black tubes and wires on the back of the
refrigerator). Using a vacuum with its dusting tool attachment, vacuum the coils to
remove dust build-up. Do not allow lint or dust to accumulate on the coils.
The defrost water pan is located at the bottom rear of the refrigerator on top of the
compressor (shown left). The pan should be cleaned periodically. Wipe clean with
a damp cloth.
Replacing the Light Bulb
To replace the light bulb:
1 . Unplug the refrigerator.
2 . Wear gloves as protection against possible broken glass.
3 . Replace old bulb with an appliance bulb of the same wattage.
4 . Remember to plug the refrigerator back in.
