CARE AND MAINTENANCE

 Ice Maker Installation

This refrigerator-freezer has the capability of using an automatic ice-maker. The automatic ice-maker is

optional and sold separately. Should you desire to install an automatic ice-maker, please call service for

installation instructions.

 Reversing the Door Swing of Your Appliance

This refrigerator-freezer has the capability of the door opening from either the left or right side. The unit

is delivered to you with the door opening from the left side. Should you desire to reverse the opening

direction, please call service for reversal instructions.

 Cleaning Your Appliance

• Unplug the unit, and remove the food and baskets.

• Wash the inside 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 baskets with a mild detergent solution.

• The outside of the unit should be cleaned with mild detergent and warm water.

CAUTION

Failure to unplug the refrigerator-freezer could result in electrical shock or personal injury.

 Power Failure

Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the temperature of your

refrigerator-freezer if you minimize the number of times the door is opened. If the power is going to be

off for a longer period of time, you need to take the proper steps to protect your food.

 Vacation Time

Short vacations: Leave the unit operating during vacations of less than three weeks.

Long vacations: If the appliance 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 Appliance

• Remove all the food.

• Securely tape down all loose items inside your unit.

• Turn the leveling screws up to the base to avoid damage.

• Tape the door shut.

• Be sure the unit stays in the upright position during transportation.

 Energy Saving Tips

• The unit 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 them 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 unit. This cuts

down on frost build-up inside the freezer.

• Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as many items

as needed at one time, and close the door as soon as possible.
