PRODUCT CARE
CLEANING
Always keep the refrigerator clean. Cleaning the refrigera-
tor is usually done after it is defrosted or put into storage.
Use lukewarm weak soda solution to clean the interior
liner of the refrigerator. Use warm water only to clean the
nned evaporator, gasket, and shelves. Do not spray liq-
uid near electrical outlets, connections, or the refrigerator
components.
DEFROSTING
1. Shut off the refrigerator by turning knob (A) to
OFF.
2. Empty the refrigerator.
3. Leave the cabinet and freezer doors open and
make sure the drip tray is in place under the
nned evaporator.
Defrosting time can be reduced by lling ice trays
with hot water and placing them in the freezer
compartment.
4. When all the frost has melted, dry the interior with
a clean cloth and turn the refrigerator back on.
5. Set the thermostat to the coldest setting for a
few hours. Then, reset the thermostat to the
desired setting, usually at mid setting. Replace
food after refrigerator has reached appropriate
cool temperature.
To keep the refrigerator operating efciently, periodic in-
spection and cleaning of several components once a year
is recommended:
• Check the lower vent, upper vent, and area between
these openings for any obstructions such as bird/insect
nests, spider webs, etc.
• Make sure the refrigerator area is free from combus-
tible material, gasoline, and other ammable vapors
or liquids.
Do not use strong chemicals or abrasives to
clean these parts, as the protective surfaces
will be damaged.
FIRE AND INHALATION HAZARD. Do not use
a knife, ice pick, or any other sharp tool to
remove frost from the freezer compartment.
Failure to obey this warning could cause a
leak in the ammonia cooling system which
could lead to a re hazard resulting in death
or serious injury.
An ammonia leak also poses an inhalation
hazard, and could cause chemical burns to
the skin and eyes. Exposure to a high con-
centration of ammonia could result in death
or serious injury.
Do not use a hot air blower to remove frost
from the freezer compartment. Permanent
damage could result from warping the metal
or plastic parts.
FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD. Do not store
or use gasoline, oil or gasoline soaked rags,
or other ammable vapors and liquids in the
service area behind the refrigerator or in the
vicinity of this or any other gas appliance.
Failure to obey this warning could cause a
re or an explosion resulting in death or seri-
ous injury.
• If accessible, clean the coils on the back of the refrigera-
tor. Use a soft bristled brush to dust off the coils.
