Damp objects stick to cold
metal surfaces. Do not touch refriger-
ated surfaces with wet or damp hands.
To avoid damage and
help the refrigerator run as efficiently
as possible, clean the condenser
periodically.
Keep your refrigerator and freezer clean to prevent odor build-up. Wipe up any spills
immediately and clean both sections at least twice a year. Never use metallic scouring
pads, brushes, abrasive cleaners or strong alkaline solutions on any surface. Do not
wash any removable parts in a dishwasher.
Always unplug the power cord from the wall outlet before cleaning. Turning
the control to OFF does not disconnect power to the controls, light bulb, or other
electrical components.
Inside
Wash inside surfaces of the refrigerator and freezer with a solution of 2 tablespoons
baking soda in 1 quart warm water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Be sure to wring
excess water out of sponge or cloth before cleaning around the controls, light
bulb, or any electrical parts.
Wash removable parts such as shelves and drawers with baking soda solution or mild
detergent and warm water. Do not use harsh cleaners on these surfaces. Rinse
and dry thoroughly. Clean the door gaskets with mild suds, rinse with clear water and
wipe dry. Do not use razor blades or other sharp instruments which can scratch the
appliance surface when removing adhesive labels. Any glue left from the tape or
energy label can be removed with a mixture of warm water and mild detergent, or,
touch the residue with the sticky side of tape already removed. Do not remove the
serial plate.
Outside
Wash the cabinet and handles with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse well
and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth.
When moving the refrigerator, pull straight out. Do not shift the refrigerator from side
to side as this may tear or gouge the floor covering. If the refrigerator has an automatic
ice maker, be careful not to move the refrigerator beyond plumbing connections.
Periodically clean the condenser (black tubes and wires on the back of the
refrigerator). Using a vacuum with its dusting tool attachment, vacuum the coils to
remove dust build-up. Do not allow lint or dust to accumulate on the coils.
The defrost water pan is located at the bottom rear of the refrigerator on top of the
compressor (shown left). The pan should be cleaned periodically. Wipe clean with a
damp cloth.
Replacing the Light Bulb
To replace the light bulb:
1. Unplug the refrigerator.
2. Wear gloves as protection against possible broken glass.
3. Replace old bulb with an appliance bulb of the same wattage.
4. Remember to plug the refrigerator back in.
