manual abstract
Smooth circulation of chilled air keeps refrigerator temperatures even. • Do not open the door frequently. Opening the door lets warm air enter the refrigerator, causing temperatures to rise. FREEZER COMPARTMENT • Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment - they may break when frozen. • Do not refreeze food that has been thawed. This deteriorates taste and nutrition. • When storing frozen food like ice cream for a long period, place it on the freezer shelf, not in the door rack. • Avoid storing any food close to the bottom area of the freezer shelf to keep efficient air circulation. REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT • Avoid placing moist food deep inside refrigerator shelves, it could freeze upon direct contact with chilled air. • Always clean food prior to refrigeration. Vegetables and fruits should be washed and wiped, and packed food should be wiped clean to prevent adjacent food from spoiling. • When storing eggs in their storage rack, ensure that they are fresh. Always store them in a upright position, which keeps them fresh longer. 9 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. Never use metallic scouring pads, brushes, coarse abrasive cleaners, or strong alkaline solutions on any surface. Before you clean, remember that damp objects will stick or adhere to extremely cold surfaces. Do not touch frozen surfaces with wet or damp hands. 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 of the interior and interior parts is recommended. If you have the No Frost model which defrosts automatically, leave both doors open during the entire cleaning process. Disconnect the power supply, and remove food and all compartment shelves, storage trays etc. Wash all compartments with a baking soda solution. Rinse and dry. INTERIOR PARTS -Wash compartment shelves, door racks, storage trays, and magnetic door seals etc. with the baking soda solution or a mild detergent and warm water. Rinse and dry. WARNING Always remove 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 a electric shock. Do not use flammable or toxic cleaning liquids. GENERAL INFORMATION VACATION TIME 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 be away for an extended period, remove all food, disconnect the power cord, clean the interior thoroughly, and leave each door OPEN to prevent odor formation. POWER FAILURE Most power failures are corrected in an hour or two and will not affect your refrigerator temperatures. However, you should minimize the number of door openings while the power is off. During power failures of longer duration, place a block of dry ice on top of your frozen packages. DRY ICE WARNING When using dry ice, provide adequate ventilation. Dry ice is frozen carbon dioxide (CO2). When it vaporizes, it can displace oxygen, causing dizziness, light-headedness, unconsciousness, and death by suffocation. Open a window and do not breathe the vapors. IF YOU MOVE If you move, empty the refrigerator (freezer) completely and wash a mild solution of baking soda and water. (2 TBS soda to 1 quart water) Be sure the soda is completely dissolved to avoid scratching the inside of the refrigerator (freezer). Secure any loose items, such as racks, bins, ice trays, etc. Do not try to move a loaded refrigerator. ANTI-CONDENSATION PIPE The outside wall of the refrigerator cabinet may sometimes get warm, especially just after installation. Don't be alarmed. This is due to the anti-condensation pipe, which pumps hot refrigerant to prevent sweating on the outer cabinet wall. Anti-Condensation Pipe 10 LAMP REPLACEMENT 1.
