cleaning
Always keep the refrigerator clean. Cleaning the refrigerator
is usually done after it is defrosted or put into storage. Use
lukewarm weak soda solution to clean the interior liner of the
refrigerator. Use warm water only to clean the finned evapora-
tor, gasket, ice tray and shelves.
CAUTION
Never use strong chemicals or abrasives to clean
these parts, as the protective surfaces will be dam-
aged. Do not spray liquids near electrical outlets,
connections or the refrigerator components.
To keep the refrigerator operating efficiently and safely, peri-
odic inspection and cleaning of several components once or
twice a year is recommended:
• Check the lower vent, upper vent and area between these
openings for any obstructions such as bird/insect nests,
spider webs, etc.
• Make sure the refrigerator area is free from combustible
material, gasoline and other flammable vapors or liquids.
• Clean the coils on the back of the refrigerator. Use a soft
bristled brush to dust off the coils.
In order to keep the refrigerator working properly it is
important that service is performed on a regular sched-
ule. At least once a year, a qualified service technician
should inspect the connections, the control system, the
LP gas pressure and flue baffle.
3. Reposition the shelf in the desired location. Insert
the ends of the wire shelf on the left-hand side and
slide the shelf into the holes on the right-hand side.
4. Slide the plastic plugs into the holes of the wall.
5. Snap the shelf locks onto the wire shelf.
defrosting
1. Shut off the refrigerator by pressing the main power
ON/OFF button (OFF position).
2. Empty the refrigerator.
3. Leave the cabinet and freezer doors open and place
the drip tray under the finned evaporator.
Defrosting time can be reduced by filling the ice
trays with hot water and placing them in the freezer
compartment.
Do not use:
• A knife or an ice pick, or other sharp
tools to remove frost from the freezer
shelves.
• A hot air blower. Permanent damage
could result from warping the metal or
plastic parts.
4. When all the frost has melted, dry the interior with a
clean cloth.
5. Replace the food and set the thermostat to the cold-
est setting for a few hours. Then, reset the thermostat
to the desired setting, usually at mid setting.
