OPTIONAL FEATURES CARE AND CLEANING Crispers (some models) The crispers, located under the bottom refrigerator shelf, are designed for storing fruits, vegetables, and other fresh produce. Wash items in clear water and remove excess water before placing them in the crispers. Items with strong odors or high moisture content should be wrapped before storing. CAUTION • Damp objects stick to cold metal surfaces. Do not touch interior metal surfaces with wet or damp hands. • Appliance must be unplugged (to avoid electrical hazard) from power source when defrosting unit. Convertible model is frost free and will defrost automatically, but should be cleaned occasionally. Cleaning the Inside Wash inside surfaces of the unit with a solution of 2 tbsp. (25 g) of baking soda in 1 qt. (1 l) warm water. Rinse and dry. Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth. Wash the removable parts with the baking soda solution mentioned above or mild detergent and warm water. Rinse and dry. Never use metallic scouring pads, brushes, abrasive cleaners, or alkaline solutions on any surface. Do not wash removable parts in a dishwasher. ENERGY-SAVING TIPS • The appliance should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat-producing appliances or heating ducts, and out of direct sunlight. • Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the unit. Overloading the unit forces the compressor to run longer. Foods that freeze too slowly may lose quality or spoil. • Be sure to wrap foods properly and wipe containers dry before placing them in the appliance. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the unit. Cleaning the Outside Wash the cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth. Replace parts and food. Do not use razor blades or other sharp instruments, which can scratch the surface when removing adhesive labels. Any glue left from the tape can be removed with a mixture of warm water and mild detergent, or touch the residue with the sticky side of the tape already removed. DO NOT REMOVE THE SERIAL PLATE. WARNING If leaving door open while on vacation, make certain that children cannot get into the appliance and become entrapped. • Appliance shelves and baskets should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling. Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the unit less efficient. • Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as many items as needed at one time, and close door as soon as possible. 9
