Cleaning-Inside
Inside the fresh fd and freezer
compartments should be cleaned
at least once a year. Unplug the
refrigerator before cleaning. If this
is not practical, wring excess
moisture out of sponge or cloth
when cleaning ‘afdundswitcht%, -
lights or controls.
Use warm water and baking soda
solution-about a tablespoon of
baking soda to a quart of water.
This both cleans and neutralizes
odors. Rinse thoroughly with water
and wipe dry.
Other parts of the refrigerator—
including door gaskets, meat and
vegetable drawers, ice storage bin
and all plastic parts-can be cleaned
the same way.Do not use cleansing
powders or other abrasive cleaners.
Tohelp prevent odors, leave
an open box of baking soda in the
rear of the refrigerator, on the top
shelf. Change the box every three
months. An open box of baking
soda in the freezer will absorb
stale freezer odors.

Drain opening in freezer
compartment. During yearly
cleaning, remove bottom freezer
basket and flush a solution of
baking soda-one teaspoon and two
cups of hot (not boiling) water—
through the drain line with the help
of a meat baster. This will help
eliminate odor and reduce the
likelihood of a clogged drain line.
If drain becomes
clogged, use a
R

meat baster and
baking-soda-and-
water solution to
force the clog
through the
drain line.
Continue flushing until line is
clear, then empty and replace the
defrost water pan immediately.
Behind Ref@erator
Care should be taken in moving
your refrigerator awayfrom the
wall. All types of floor coverings
can be damaged, particularly
cushioned coverings and those
with embossed surfaces. Pull the
refrigerator straight out and return
it to position by pushing it straight
in. Moving your refrigerator in a
side direction may result in damage
to your floor covering or refrigerator.
Condenser
For most efficient operation, you
need to keep the condenser clean.
Remove the base grille (see page 4)
and either sweep awayor vacuum
up dust that is readily accessible.
This easy cleaning operation should
be done at least once a v r.
