CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Cooling System

This refrigerator is inclusive of a “Frost Free” type

cooling system, which means you never have to

defrost the freezer compartment. Defrosting is done

automatically by means of a defrost heating element

and a defrost timer factory-programmed to operate

(cycle) after approximately 3 hours of continuous

compressor cycling. The defrost water is routed into a

defrost pan located directly above the compressor,

where it then evaporates.

Cleaning

Before cleaning the refrigerator or freezer, always

disconnect the refrigerator from the power supply. To

clean the inside, use a soft cloth and a solution of a

tablespoon baking soda to one quart (4 cups) of

water, or a mild soap suds solution or mild detergent.

Wash ice cube tray, drip tray, and glide out shelves in

a mild detergent solution, then wipe dry with a soft

cloth. Clean the outside with a damp soft cloth and

some mild detergent or appliance cleaner.

Setting the Thermostat

The thermostat setting can be adjusted from

WARM (warmest) setting through COLD

(coldest) setting in both the refrigerator and freezer.

We recommend setting the thermostat at the medium

(middle) setting indicated by “•”. However, if you

find this setting inadequate for your cooling

requirements, adjust as needed by rotating the

thermostat knobs. To locate the thermostat control

knobs, refer to “Features”.

For short vacation periods, leave the control knob at

the usual setting. During longer absences:

a) remove all food.

b) disconnect from electrical outlet.

c) clean the refrigerator thoroughly, including

defrost pan.

d) leave the door open to avoid possible formations

of condensation, mold, or odors.

Power Failure

Most power failures are corrected within a couple of

hours, and will not affect your refrigerator

temperatures. However, you should minimize the

number times you open the door while the power is

off. During power failures of longer duration, take

steps to protect your food.

If You Move

Remove, or securely fasten down, all loose items

inside the refrigerator. To avoid damaging the

leveling legs, turn them all the way into the base.

Some Important Rules for the Correct Use of the

Refrigerator

• Never place hot foods in the refrigerator.

• Beverages should be stored in sealed containers.

• Foods to be stored for a long time should be

wrapped in cellophane or polyethylene, or kept in

glass containers. Never place spoiled food in the

refrigerator.

• Don’t overload the refrigerator.

• Don’t open the door unless necessary.

• Should the refrigerator be stored without use for

long periods, it is suggested, after careful clean

ing, to leave the door ajar to allow the air to circu-

late inside the unit in order to avoid the possible

formations of condensation, mold, or odors.

Food Storage Suggestions:

Fresh Food Compartment-

• Never cover food compartment shelves with

aluminum foil or any other shelf covering

material which may prevent air circulation.

• Always remove porous store wrapping paper

from meats, poultry, and fish. Meats should be

wrapped individually and placed in a dish for

storage. Wrap fish and poultry in foil or heavy

waxed paper. Most fish should be used the same

day of purchase. Packaged meats such as

ham, bacon, dried beef, or frankfurter, store best

in their original packages.

• Allow warm foods to cool to room temperature

before placing them in the refrigerator.

• Always cover open dishes of food, especially

leftovers. Use leftovers within 2 or 3 days.

Vegetable Crisper

The tray at the bottom of the refrigerator is covered

to retain moisture. The crisper compartment will

enable you to store vegetables and fruits which would

otherwise dry out rapidly.
