TIPS ON EVERYDAY USE AND CARE
TO CONTROL TEMPERATURE
At first, set the refrigerator and the freezer temperature controls on MED. Wait 24 hours for the entire cabinet to cool, then adjust controls if needed.
Setting to MIN is warmest.
Ice cream is the best check of freezer temperature. When ice cream is hard to serve, the freezer is colder than needed.
Never turn Cold Control to OFF unless both compartments are empty.
Any time you won't be using your refrigerator regularly, such as during vacation, empty and unplug it. Clean inside and block doors open.
Obstruction or blocking of the air vents can affect the performance of the freezer, it is best to keep food ½ inch away from the back of the freezer.
FOR ALL CLEANING
: Mix 2 tablespoons baking soda or mild soap with 1 quart warm water. No strong cleaners, scouring powder or pads should be
used. Do not put the defrost tray in the dishwasher. Vacuum the tubing on outside back when dusty.
