[. . . ] To ensure proper air circulation around the fridge -freezer, please maintain sufficient space on both the sides as well as top and maintain at least 2 inches (5 cm) from the rear wall. To avoid vibrations, the unit must be level. If required, adjust the leveling screw to compensate for unevenness of the floor. The front should be slightly higher than the rear to aid in door closing. [. . . ] Opening the door lets warm air enter the refrigerator, causing temperatures to rise. · Do not store bottles on the evaporator - they may break when frozen. · Always clean food prior to refrigeration. Vegetables and fruits should be washed and wiped, and packed food should be wiped clean, to prevent adjacent food from spoiling. CLEANING 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. Never use metallic scouring pads, brushes, coarse abrasive cleaners or strong alkaline solutions on any surface. Before you clean, however, remember that damp objects will stick or adhere to extremely cold surfaces. Do not touch frozen surfaces with wet or damp hands. EXTERIOR - 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. 7 INTERIOR - Regular cleaning of the interior and interior parts is recommended. Disconnect the power supply, and remove food and shelves, trays etc. Wash all compartment and shelves, trays etc. Rinse and dry. WARNING Always remove power cord from the wall outlet prior to cleaning in the vicinity of electrical parts. Wipe up excess moisture with a sponge or cloth to prevent water or liquid from getting into any electrical part and causing a electric shock. Do not use flammable or toxic cleaning liquids. GENERAL INFORMATION VACATION TIME 8 During average length vacations, you will probably find it best to leave the refrigerator in operation. When you plan to be away for an extended period, remove all food, disconnect the power cord, clean the interior thoroughly, and leave the door OPEN to prevent odor formation. POWER FAILURE Most power failures are corrected in an hour or two and will not affect your refrigerator temperatures. However, you should minimize the number of door openings while the power is off. During power failures of longer duration, place a block of dry ice on top of your frozen packages. IF YOU MOVE Remove or securely fasten down all loose items inside the refrigerator. To avoid damaging the leveling screw, turn them all the way into the base. IMPORTANT WARNINGS DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD ACCESSIBILITY OF SUPPLY PLUG 9 If possible, connect the refrigerator to its own individual electrical outlet to prevent it and other appliances or household lights from causing an overload that could cause a power outage. The refrigerator-freezer should be so positioned that the supply plug is accessible for quick disconnection when accident happens. POWER CORD REPLACEMENT If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cord or assembly available from the manufacturer or its service agent.
