How to clean
your new refrigerator-freezer
Your Frigidaire Refrigerator-Freezer is
Frost-Proof; you will never have to de-
frost the freezer or fresh food compart-
ment. However, you will still want to
remove food spills and freshen and
deodorize it.
Cleaners: The Frigidaire cleaners noted
on this page are available from your
Frigidaire Dealer or Frigidaire Autho-
rized Service Agency at extra charge.
Never use harsh, abrasive cleansers,
heavy-duty cleaners, or solvents on any
surface.
Turn Refrigerator Control to OFF. Re-
move frozen foods and wrap in news-
papers; remove fresh foods. See the
chart on page 5 for instructions on how
to remove shelves and other parts. The
chart on this page tells you how to
clean them.
The finishing touch: Replace all parts,
and return Refrigerator Control to de-
sired setting.

the lower left. Use a brush and vacuum cleaner attach-
ment to clean dust and lint from the condenser and sur-

Reversa-doors:
How to change hinging
Refrigerator-freezer doors that open
out and block your path are a big in-
convenience. If your new kitchen poses
this problem, move the hinges and han-
dles to opposite side of the doors so
the doors open in the more convenient
direction. You can do it yourself (since
the doors are heavy, two people can
move the doors more easily) or call
your Frigidaire Authorized Service
Agency (at extra charge).
Tools needed: One _;_-inch open-end or
box-end wrench. One No. 2 size Phil-
lips screwdriver.
Reversa-door steps: The diagram on
this page shows the positions of hinges,
handles, and other hardware as it is to
be reinstalled when door is hinged on
the left-hand side. Holes for relocating
hinges are covered by eight decorator
screws.
Before starting, empty freezer and fresh
food compartment door shelves. Wrap
frozen foods in several folds of news-
paper and store in cool place.
Be careful not to lose any of the parts
removed. They wil/ all be needed dur-
ing reassembly.
1. Open the door to fresh food com-
partment and remove base grille
(see instructions on page 5).
2. Remove the eight decorator screws
(A) from side opposite hinges to
expose new hinge mounting holes.
3. Remove small plastic plugs (B) from
top and bottom of freezer compart-
ment door and top of door to fresh
food compartment. Also, transfer
small plug (C) to opposite side.
(Removal is made easier using the
edge of spatula.)
4. Close both doors. The magnetic
door seals will help support the
doors while you remove hinges.
5. Remove top hinge (D) and nylon
bearing (E); lift off free,zer compart-
ment door.
6. Remove center hinge (F), gasket
(G), and two nylon bearings (H);
lift off door to fresh food compart-
ment.
