Cleaning and Maintenance
Warning: To avoid electric shock, always unplug your refrigerator before cleaning. Ignoring this warning may result in death or injury.
Caution: Before using cleaning products, always read and follow manufacturer's instructions and warnings to avoid personal injury or product
damage.
general: Prepare a cleaning solution of 3-4 tablespoons of baking soda mixed with warm water. Use sponge or soft cloth, dampened with the
cleaning solution, to wipe down your refrigerator.
• Rinse with clean warm water and dry with a soft cloth.
• Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasives, ammonia, chlorine bleach, concentrated detergents, solvents or metal scouring pads.
Some of these chemicals may dissolve, damage and/ or discolor your refrigerator.
Door gaskets: Clean door gaskets every three months according to general instructions. Gaskets must be kept clean and pliable to assure a
proper seal.
• Petroleum jelly applied lightly on the hinge side of gaskets will keep the gasket pliable and ensure a good seal.
Defrosting
Defrost whenever frost on the wall of the freezer compartment becomes 1/8" thick. Never us a sharp or metallic instrument to remove frost as
it may damage the cooling coils. (A punctured cooling coil will cause serious damage to the product and will void the warranty). We
recommend using a plastic scraper. To defrost,
remove foods and ice cube tray from the freezer
compartment. Make sure the drip tray is in place and
unplug the unit. Defrosting usually takes a few hours.
To defrost faster, keep the door open and place a
bowl of warm water in the refrigerator. After
defrosting, empty water from the drip tray and wash
the drip tray in warm water.
