electric
shock,
this
appliance
must be
grounded
improper
use of the
grounding plug
can result
in
an electric shock. Consult a

Storing
foods
Store fresh food
in
the
refrigerator compartment.
How food is frozen and thawed is an
important
factor
in
maintaining
its freshness and flavor.
Do not store food which
goes
bad
easily
at low
temperatures,
such as
bananas,
and
melons.
Allow hot food to cool
prior
to
storing, placing
hot food
in
the
refrigerator
could
spoil
other
food,
and lead to
higher
electric bills.
When
storing
the
food,
cover it with
vinyl wrap
or store
in
a container with a lid. This
prevents
moisture from
evaporating,
and
helps
food to
keep
its taste and nutrients.
Do not block air vents with food. Smooth circulation of chilled air
keeps refrigerator
temperatures
even.
Do not
open
the door
frequently. Opening
the door lets warm air enter the
refrigerator,
and cause
temperatures
to rise.
Never
keep
too
many
foods
in
door rack because
they may
be
interrupted by
inner
racks so that the door cannot be
fully
closed.
Do not store bottles
in
the freezer
compartment
-
they may
break when frozen.
Do not refreeze food that has been thawed. This causes loss of taste and nutrition.
When
storing
frozen food like ice cream for a
long period, place
it on the freezer
shelf,
not
in
the door rack.
Avoid
placing
moist food
upmost refrigerator
shelves,
it could freeze
upon
direct
contact with chilled air.
Always
clean food
prior
to
refrigeration. Vegetables
and fruits should be washed and
wiped,
and
packed
food should be
wiped,
to
prevent adjacent
food from
spoiling.
When
storing eggs
in
their
storage
rack or
box,
ensure that
they
are
fresh,
and
always
store them
in
a
up-right position,
which
keeps
them fresh
longer.

If
you keep
the

in a hot and humid

cause dew to form which has no effect on its
performance.
Remove the dew with dust cloth free from care.

General information
Cleaning
During average length
vacations,
you
will
probably
find it best to leave the
refrigerator
in
operation.
Place freezable items
in
freezer for
longer
life.
When
you plan
not to
operate,
remove all
food,
disconnect the
power
cord,
clean the
interior
thoroughly,
and leave each door OPEN to
prevent
odor formation.
Vacation time
Power failure
If
you
move
Anti
condensation
pipe
Most
power
failures that are corrected
in
an hour or two
will
not affect
your
refrigerator temperatures.
However,
you
should minimize the number of door
openings
while the
power
is off.
Remove or
securely
fasten down all loose items inside the
refrigerator.
To avoid
damaging
the
height adjusting
screws,
turn them all the
way
into the base.
The outside wall of the
refrigerator
cabinet
may
sometimes
get
warm,
especially just
after installation.
Don't be alarmed. This is due to the anti-condensation
pipe,
which
pumps
hot
refrigerator
to
prevent "sweating"
on the outer cabinet wall.
Regular cleaning
is recommended. Wash all
compartments
a
baking
soda solution or a
mild
detergent
and warm water. Rinse and
dry.
Please
verify
that the
power
cord is not
damaged, power plug
is not
overheated,
or
power plug
is well inserted into the
power
consent.
Always
remove
power
cord from the wall outlet
prior
to
cleaning
in
the
vicinity
of
electrical
parts (lamps,
switches, controls,
etc.).
Wipe up
excess moisture with a
sponge
or cloth to
prevent
water or
liquid
from
getting
into
any
electrical
part
and
causing
an electric shock.
Never use metallic
scouring pads,
brushes,
coarse abrasive
cleaners,
strong
alkaline
solutions,
flammable or toxic
cleaning liquids
on
any
surface.
Do not touch frozen surfaces with wet or
damp
hands,
because
damp object
will
stick
or adhere to
extremely
cold surfaces.
It is
important
that
your refrigerator
be
kept
clean to
prevent
undesirable odors.
Spilled
food should be
wiped up immediately,
since it
may acidify
and stain
plastic
surfaces
if
allowed to settle.
Use a lukewarm solution of mild
soap
or
detergent
to clean the durable finish of
your
refrigerator.
Wipe
with a clean
damp
cloth and then
dry.
