For the most efficient operation and minimum energy consumption, defrost the refrigerator/freezer when the frost on the freezer walls is excessive or . inch thick. ? How? To start defrosting, turn the temperature control to "OFF", unplug the refrigerator/freezer, remove the food and shelves. After the frost or ice has melted, discard the melted water and dry up the interior of refrigerator/freezer. Then the refrigerator/freezer can be restarted by a turning its thermostat to the desired setting. CAUTION Do not use boiling water because it may damage the plastic parts. In addition, never use a sharp or metallic instrument to remove frost as it may damage the cooling coils and will void the warranty. We recommend using a plastic scraper. ? Use a sponge or towel to pick up the melting ice off the refrigerator/freezer floor. ? Remove the frozen food from the freezer compartment and place it in a cooler to protect the food. Power Failure Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the temperature of your refrigerator/freezer 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/freezer 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/freezer ? Remove all the food. ? Securely tape down all loose items inside your refrigerator/freezer. ? Turn the leveling screw up to the base to avoid damage. 12 ? Tape the door shut. ? Be sure the refrigerator/freezer stays secure in the upright position during transportation. Also protect the outside of refrigerator/freezer with a blanket, or similar item. Ene rgy Saving Tips ? The refrigerator/freezer should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances, and out of the direct sunlight. ? Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the refrigerator/freezer. Overloading the refrigerator/freezer forces the compressor to run longer. ? Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in the refrigerator/freezer. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the refrigerator/freezer. ? Refrigerator/freezer storage bin should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling. Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the refrigerator/freezer less efficient. ? Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as many items as needed at one time, and close the door as soon as possible. 13 PROBLEMS WITH YOUR REFRIGERATOR/FREEZER You can solve many common refrigerator/freezer problems easily, saving you the cost of a possible service call.
