General information

During average length vacations, you will probably find it best to leave the refrigerator

in operation. Place freezable items in freezer for longer life.
When you plan to store the refrigerator, remove all food, disconnect the power cord,
clean the interior thoroughly, and block the doors open to prevent mold and mildew.
Be certain the stored refrigerator does not present a child entrapment danger.
Most power failures that are corrected in an hour or two will not affect your

refrigerator temperatures. However, you should minimize the number of door
openings while the power is off.
If you move
Unload the refrigerator to relocate it. (This is probably not necessary to pull it out for
cleaning behind it.) Be sure to let the refrigerator warm up to room temperature, and
dry the inside before closing the doors to pack it for moving.
To avoid damaging the height adjusting screws, turn them all the way into the base.
Anti-
The outside wall of the refrigerator cabinet may sometimes get warm, especially just
condensation
after installation. Don't be alarmed. This is due to the anti-condensation pipe, which
pipe
pumps hot refrigerant to prevent sweating on the outer cabinet wall.
Cleaning
It is important that your refrigerator be kept clean to prevent undesirable odors. Spilled
food should be wiped up immediately, since it may acidify and stain plastic surfaces if
allowed to settle.
Exterior Use a lukewarm solution of mild soap or detergent to clean the durable finish of your
refrigerator. Wipe with a clean damp cloth and then dry.
Interior
Regular cleaning is recommended. Wash all compartments with a baking soda
solution or a mild detergent and warm water. Rinse and dry. Be sure to allow the soda
to dissolve completely so it will not act as an abrasive compound.
After cleaning
Please verify that the power cord is not damaged, power plug is not overheated, or
power plug is well inserted into the power consent.
Warning
Always remove the power cord from the wall outlet prior to cleaning in the vicinity of
electrical parts (lamps, switches, controls, etc.).
Wipe up excess moisture with a sponge or cloth to prevent water or liquid from
getting into any electrical part and causing an electric shock.
Never use metallic scouring pads, brushes, coarse abrasive cleaners, strong alkaline
solutions, or flammable or toxic cleaning liquids on any surface.
Do not touch frozen surfaces with wet or damp hands, because damp objects will
stick to extremely cold surfaces.
