Care And Maintenance - Danby DUFM026B1WDD Owner's Use And Care Manual

CLEANING THE APPLIANCE
• Turn the temperature control to "MIN", unplug the unit, and remove the food and baskets.
• Wash the inside with a warm water and baking soda solution. The solution should be about 2 tablespoons of baking
soda to a quart of water.
• Wash the baskets with a mild detergent solution.
• The outside of the unit should be cleaned with mild detergent and warm water.
CAUTION: Failure to unplug the refrigerator or freezer could result in electrical shock or personal injury.
POWER FAILURE
Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the temperature of your refrigerator or freezer if
you minimize the number of times the door is opened. If the power is going to be off for a longer period of time, you need to
take the proper steps to protect your food.
VACATION TIME
Short vacations: Leave the unit operating during vacations of less than three weeks.
Long vacations: If the appliance will not be used for several months, remove all food and unplug the power cord. Clean and
dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth, leave the door open slightly, blocking it open if necessary.
IF YOU MOVE
Remove or securely fasten down all loose items inside the unit. To avoid damaging the leveling legs, turn them all the way
into the base.
Some Important Rules for the Correct Use of the Freezer
• Never place hot foods in the freezer.
• Never place spoiled foods in the freezer.
• Don't overload the freezer.
• Don't open the door unless necessary.
• Should the freezer be stored without use for long periods, it is suggested, after a careful cleaning, to leave the door
ajar to allow the air to circulate inside the unit in order to avoid possible formations of condensation, mold or odors.
