Keep the Power Saving Control on OFF unless moisture forms on the refrigerator exterior Make sure your refrigerator is not next to a heat source such as a range, water heater. furnace. radiator, or in direct sunlight Cleaning your refrigerator Defrosting 2% the freezer.. . The treezer section should be defrosted whenever frost builds up to a V-Inch (6 mm) thickness DO NOT USE ANY TYPE OF ELECTRIC DEFROSTER OR SHARP UTENSILS [ICE PICK, KNIFE, ETC.) to speed defrosting These can cause damage Defrost 1 4 0 . . Drain . Put Pan of Hot Water in Freezer to Speed Melting. The freezer section of your refrigerator needs defrostrng from ttme to time The fresh food section defrosts automatically. Both the fresh food and freezer compartments shouid be cleaned about once a month to help prevent odors from building up. Of course, spills should be wiped up rrght away To clean your refrigerator, turn the Temperature Control to ‘OFF.” Unplug It, take out all removabie parts and clean It according to the following chart There IS a cold plate on the back wall at the :op df the fresh food compartment. When the refrigerator motor rurls, frost collects on the cold plate. When the motor turns off, the frost melts Water from this melted frost drips Into a drain trough just below the cold plate. Then it runs down the back wall and through a drain Just above the crisper. The drain leads to a defrost water pan on top of the refrigerator motor Heat from the motor evaporates the water Remove Force Soda /Water Solution Through Drain . 0 Put pan in Refrigerator to Catch Defrost Water. 1 2 3. 4. 5. 6. 7 8. 9. w i Put empty pan In the refrigerator on the top shelf m the center Move frozen food and ice to the refrigerator section. Turn the Temperature Control to “OFF.” Close the refrigerator door. Leave the freezer door open. Put a pan of hot water in the center of the freezer. This helps melt frost. Don’t place pan over drain hole In center of freezer. Defrost water will drain through a hole in the bottom of the freezer into the pan you put in the refrtgerator. You may have to melt frost from the drain hole by pouring a little hot water around the hole. Wash the inside of the freezer with a solution of two tablespoons (30 mg) of baking soda and one quart (1 L) warm water. Rinse well and dry Remove the pan of defrost water from the refrigerator; put frozen food and ice back into freezer. Reset the Temperature Control. If the drain becomes clogged, remove the drain cap. Force warm water mixed with baking soda through the drain until the water flows through freely. Replace the cap. Make sure It is pushed all the way down 7 . I Cleaning chart...
