• The chiller door is susceptible to breaking due to excessive ice build up. This part is not covered
under your warranty. Be sure to defrost when the ice reaches ¼ inch thick.
Defrosting Your Refrigerator
Ø
Defrost the refrigerator when the frost accumulated on the evaporator is about 5mm (1/5 inch) thick.
Set the thermostat dial to "OFF" position. Remove frozen or perishable foods. Defrosting usually
takes a few hours. After defrosting, return the thermostat dial to the desired position. To defrost
quickly remove all foods from the refrigerator and leave the door open. Never use a knife or other
metal instrument to scrape ice/frost from the evaporator.
Ø Cleaning Your Refrigerator
• Turn the temperature control to "OFF", unplug the
refrigerator, and remove the food, shelves, and trays.
• Wash the inside surfaces with a warm water and baking
soda solution. The solution should be about 2
tablespoons of baking soda to a quart of water.
• Wash the shelves and trays with a mild detergent
solution.
• The outside of the refrigerator should be cleaned with
mild detergent and warm water.
• Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth before
cleaning the area of the controls, or any electrical parts.
• Wash the outside cabinet with warm water and mild liquid
detergent. Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth.
Vacation Time
Ø
• Short vacations: Leave the refrigerator operating during vacations of less than three weeks.
• Long vacations: If the refrigerator will not be used for several months, remove all food and
unplug the power cord. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold
growth, leave the door open slightly: blocking it open if necessary.
Moving Your Refrigerator
Ø
• Remove all the food.
• Securely tape down all loose items inside your refrigerator.
• Turn the leveling screw up to the base to avoid damage.
• Tape the door shut.
• Be sure the refrigerator stays secure in the upright position during transportation. Also protect
the outside of refrigerator with a blanket, or similar item.
