Care and Cleaning
Cleaning the Outside
Clean the outside of the refrigerator with a mild solution of soapy water. Dry
thoroughly with a soft cloth. To clean the door gasket, use only mild, soapy
water. Never use harsh cleansers, scouring pads or anything abrasive to
clean any part of the refrigerator.
Cleaning the Inside
Unplug the refrigerator and remove food, shelves and trays. Wash inside with
warm water and baking soda solution (about two tablespoons of baking soda
to a quart of water.) Then rinse and dry. Do not use cleansers such as soaps,
detergents, scouring powder or spray cleaners which can cause odors inside
the refrigerator.
Wash the ice cube tray and shelving in mild detergent solution and dry with a
soft cloth. To help prevent odors, leave an open box of baking soda in the
refrigerator. Change the box every three months.
Do not wash any plastic parts from your refrigerator in the dishwasher.
NEVER USE ACIDS, GASOLINE/PAINT THINNER FOR CLEANING ANY
PART OF THE REFRIGERATOR. Never use boiling water which can deform
plastic parts.
Defrosting
Your refrigerator is a cycle-defrost model. This means that the unit is
frost-free in the refrigerator section with a manual-defrost freezer.
The refrigerator section should not develop ice as the evaporator on the back
wall uses a heater to keep ice from forming on the evaporator plate. If ice
persists on the back wall evaporator plate, check the Troubleshooting section
of this manual.
The freezer section will begin to build up frost on the walls. Once the frost is

" thick, it will be necessary to scrape the frost off the interior walls. To
do this, a plastic scraper is provided. Never use a sharp or metallic instrument
to remove frost as this may damage the cooling coils in the freezer section.
Puncturing the cooling coils will cause the unit to become inoperable and void
the warranty.
To defrost the freezer section, turn the thermostat to the 0 position and scrape
the frost off the freezer’s interior walls. Place food back in the freezer and turn
the thermostat back on.
