Reversing the Door Swing of Your Appliance
This refrigerator-freezer has the capability of the doors opening from either the left or right side. The
unit is delivered to you with the doors opening from the left side. Should you desire to reverse the
opening direction, please call service for reversal instructions.
Cleaning Your Refrigerator
• UNPLUG the refrigerator, and remove the shelf.
• 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 shelf 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.
CAUTION
Failure to unplug the refrigerator 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 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 refrigerator 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 Refrigerator
• Remove all the food.
• Securely tape down all loose items inside your refrigerator.
• Tape the door shut.
• Protect the outside of refrigerator with a blanket, or similar item.
Energy Saving Tips
• The refrigerator should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing
appliances, and out of the direct sunlight.
• Overloading the refrigerator forces the superconductor cooling system to run longer.
• Reduce door openings and extended searches, remove as many item as needed at one time,
and close the door as soon as possible.
• One characteristic of superconductor heat-pipe units is the length of time it requires to
recover from having the door opened and shut frequently. It may be necessary to wait longer
for the temperature to return to its former level once the door has been opened for too long.
This is normal for the type of unit.
• Superconductor heat-pipe technology costs just pennies to operate. It is environmentally
friendly due to the lack of CFC’s.
