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-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 -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 • Moving Your Appliance ? Remove all the food. ? Securely tape down all looseitems inside your unit. ? Turn the leveling screws up to the base to avoid damage. ? Tape the door shut. ? Be sure the unit stays in the upright position during transportation. 12 • Energy Saving Tips ? The unit should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances or heating ducts, and out of the direct sunlight. ? Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing them in the unit. Overloading the unit forces the compressor to run longer. Foods that freeze too slowly may lose quality, or spoil. ? Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in the unit. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the freezer. ? Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as many items as needed at one time, and close the door as soon as possible. • Replacing Your Light Bulb NOTE: All parts removed must be saved to do the replacement of the light bulb. Before removing the light bulb, either turn off the appliance or disconnect the electricity leading into the appliance at the main power supply. Failure to do so could result in electrical shock or personal injury. ? Unplug the AC power cord from the wall. ? Remove the two screws with a Phillips screwdriver. ? Pull down to remove the lamp cover. ? Unscrew the bulb. ? Replace with a 10-watt bulb that is the same shape and size. ? Replace the lamp cover and tighten screws . 13 PROBLEM S WITH YOUR APPLIANCE ?
