Adjusting the Control

Give your refrigerator time to cool down completely before adding

food. It is best to wait 24 hours before you put food into the

refrigerator. The control is set correctly when milk or juice is as

cold as you like. Move the dial one setting at a time and wait

24 hours between adjustments.

IMPORTANT: If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled

completely, your food may spoil. Turning the control to a higher

(colder) than recommended setting will not cool the compartment

any faster.

REFRIGERATOR CARE

Clean the Refrigerator

Clean the refrigerator about once a month to prevent odors from

building up. Wipe up spills immediately.

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2. Remove all removable parts from inside, such as shelves,

crispers, etc.

3. Hand wash, rinse, and dry removable parts and interior

surfaces thoroughly. Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a

mild detergent in warm water.

■ Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window

sprays, scouring cleansers, flammable fluids, cleaning

waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches or cleansers

containing petroleum products on plastic parts, interior

and door liners or gaskets. Do not use paper towels,

scouring pads, or other harsh cleaning tools. These can

scratch or damage materials.

■ To help remove odors, you can wash interior walls with a

mixture of warm water and baking soda (2 tbs. to 1 qt.

[26 g to .95 L] of water).

4. Replace the removable parts.

5. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.

6. Set the control to the maximum setting for 24 hours, and then

adjust the control to the desired setting. Give the refrigerator

and freezer time to cool down completely before adding food.

See “Using the Control.”

Defrost and Clean the Freezer

Defrost and clean the freezer when the ice thickness is ¹⁄₅" (5 mm).

In high-humidity areas, the freezer may need more frequent

defrosting and cleaning.

NOTE: Do not use abrasive cleaners on your freezer. Do not use

cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches, or cleaners

containing petroleum on plastic parts. Damage can occur.

1. Turn the refrigerator control to 0.

2. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

3. Remove all food from the refrigerator and freezer

compartments. Store it in a cooler with ice, in an additional

refrigerator-freezer, or in a cool area.

4. Place the defrost drain pan under the freezer compartment

prior to defrosting. Water from the freezer will flow into the

defrost drain pan.

5. Leave the refrigerator door open until the ice melts.

6. Place a pan of hot water in the freezer with the door open to

speed melting. Directing air from an electric fan into the

freezer will also help. Do not place the fan or any electrical

device in freezer.

NOTE: Check the drain pan frequently to avoid water

overflow. Have a second pan handy for easier emptying.

7. Use a plastic scraper to remove frost.

NOTE: Do not use an ice pick, knife, or other sharp-pointed

tool to defrost the freezer. Damage can occur.

8. Empty the drain pan and dry it well. Wipe water from walls

with a towel or sponge.

9. Wash the inside walls of the freezer with a solution of mild

detergent in warm water or 2 tbs. (26 mg) baking soda to 1 qt.

(0.95 L) warm water. Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners.

10. Replace the drain pan.

11. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.

12. Set the control to the maximum setting for 24 hours, and then

adjust the control to the desired setting. Give the refrigerator

and freezer time to cool down completely before adding food.

See “Using the Control.”
