Cleaning Your Refrigerator
Disconnect the electrical unit from the wall outlet.
Clean interior and parts with a cloth soaked
in
lukewarm water and baking soda
solution.
A
solution of 2 tablespoons baking soda to a quart of water will clean and
neutralize odors. Rinse and wipe dry.
Be sure to keep the door gasket (seal) clean to keep the unit running efficiently.
The outside of the refrigerator should be cleaned with a warm damp cloth and mild
detergent. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners.
Never clean refrigerator parts with flammable fluids. The fumes can create a fire
hazard.

all
food. Then, unplug the electrical cord from the wall
outlet.

Energy Saving Tips
The refrigerator should be located
in
the coolest area of the room, away from heat
producing appliances or heating ducts, and out of the direct sunlight.
Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing
in
the refrigerator.

in
the
