Care and Maintenance
Cleaning
To clean the inside, use a soft cloth and a solution
of a tablespoon of baking soda to one quart of
water, or a mild soap suds solution, or some mild
detergent. Wash ice cube tray, drip tray, and glide
out shelves in a mild detergent solution, then dry
and wipe with a soft cloth. Clean the outside with a
soft damp cloth and some mild detergent or
appliance cleaner.
Defrosting
This refrigerator is equipped with a "Push Button"
(semi-automatic) defrost thermostat system.To
activate the defrost cycle, simply push (in) the red
defrost button located in the center of the control
knob/dial (do not turn the control knob/dial to
zero = off). The defrost cycle is initiated
immediately. When defrosting is complete, the
"Push Button" will release (pop-out) automatically
and resume normal operating conditions at the
same temperature setting.
NOTE: If the "Push Button" is activated (pushed-in)
accidentally, it will not be possible to "manually"
pull-out the push button (deactivate the defrost
cycle). You must either let the defrost cycle run it's
course or;
* Apply (hold) a dishcloth soaked in hot water
against the thermostat capillary line and bracket,
located on the underside of the freezer
compartment. The heat transfer from the dish cloth
will cause a temperature rise on the thermostat
capillary (sensing line), causing the internal
contacts to close. This will resume normal operating
conditions.
It may take several minutes and/or repeat
applications before the push button will release.
Defrosting of your refrigerator should take place
whenever ice build-up inside the freezer
compartment reaches 1/4" (6mm) thick. Defrosting
may take a few hours, depending on the amount of
accumulated ice and ambient indoor temperature.
To speed-up the defrosting process, remove all
frozen foods from the freezer section. Leaving the
door partially ajar for a "short" period of time will
also speed-up the process.
IMPORTANT: You must remember to close the
refrigerator door before the defrost cycle terminates
and normal operating conditions resume
automatically. The drip tray should be in position
directly below the freezer compartment to catch
evaporated water during defrosting.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Never use sharp or pointed
instruments to defrost/remove ice from the
evaporator/freezer compartment. The
evaporator/freezer compartment contains
refrigerated gas lines and if accidentlly
punched/pierced, will render the refrigerator
inoperable and "void" the manufacturers
warranty.
DO NO ALLOW THE REFRIGERATOR TO
CONTINUE OPERATION IF THE FREEZER
COMPARTMENT IS PIERCED.
After defrosting is complete, set the control to
maximum for 2 to 3 hours before turning to the
desired position. When the refrigerator is not to be
used for a long period of time, disconnect the
appliance from the electrical supply and leave the
door partially open. This will help to reduce mold
and mildew build-up.
NOTE: Wait 3 to 5 minutes before attempting to
restart the refrigerator if operation has been
interrupted
Vacation Time
For short vacation periods, leave the control knobs
at their usual settings. During longer absences, (a)
remove all foods, (b) disconnect from electrical
outlet, (c) clean the refrigerator thoroughly, including
defrost pan, (d) leave door open to avoid possible
formations of condensate, mold or odors.
Power Failure
Most power failures are corrected within 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, take steps
to protect your food by placing dry ice on top of
packages.
If You Move
Remove or securely fasten down all loose items
inside the refrigerator. To avoid damaging the
leveling screws, turn them all the way into the base.
