Let stand for five minutes. Rinse surfaces with warm water. Dry surfaces with a soft, clean cloth. • Wash and dry all bottles, containers and jars. Discard spoiled or expired items. • Wrap or store odor-causing foods in tightly sealed containers to prevent recurring odors. • Reconnect power to refrigerator and return food to refrigerator. • Allow the refrigerator to cool. • After 24 hours, check if odor has been eliminated. If odor is still present: • Remove drawers and place on top shelf of refrigerator. • Pack refrigerator and freezer sections - including doors - with crumpled sheets of black and white newspaper. • Place charcoal briquettes randomly on crumpled newspaper in both freezer and refrigerator compartments. • Close doors and let stand 24 to 48 hours. Energy Saving Tips • Avoid overcrowding refrigerator shelves. This reduces air circulation around food and causes refrigerator to run longer. • Avoid adding too much warm food to refrigerator at one time. This overloads compartments and slows rate of cooling. • Do not use aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling as shelf liners. This decreases air flow and causes refrigerator to run less efficiently. • A freezer that is two-thirds full runs most efficiently. • Locate refrigerator in coolest part of room. Avoid areas of direct sunlight, or near heating ducts, registers or other heat producing appliances. If this is not possible, isolate exterior by using a section of cabinet or an added layer of insulation. • Clean door gaskets every three months according to cleaning instructions. This will assure that door seals properly and refrigerator runs efficiently. • Take time to organize items in refrigerator to reduce time that door is open. 25
