Cleaning your
refrigerator
The freezer section of your refrigerator needs
defrosting from time to time. The fresh food section
defrosts automatically
Both the fresh food and freezer compart-
ments should be cleaned about once a month to
help prevent odors from building up. Of course, spills
should be wiped up right away
To clean your refrigerator. turn the Temperature
Control to “OFF:’ Unplug it, take out all removable
parts and clean it according to the following chart
There is a cold plate on the back wall at the top
of the fresh food compartment. When the refrigerator
motor runs, frost collects on the cold plate. When the
mot& turns off, the
frost melts.
Water from this
melted frost drips
into a drain trough
just below the cold
plate. Then it runs
down the back wall
and through a drain
just above the cris-
per. The drain leads
to a defrost water
pan on top of the
refrigerator motor.
Heat from the motor evaporates
the water.
