Cleaning your refrigerator
CAUTIONS:
- To prevent damage to the finish:
- Do not use gasoline, benzine, thinner, or other similar solvents.
- Do not use abrasive cleaners.
- Do not use sharp objects because they are likely to scratch the surface.
We recommend that you do the following every time you clean your refrigerator to keep it running odor-free and efficiently:
- Unplug your refrigerator from the power outlet.
- Remove all food.
- If you want to remove the door racks, shelves, crispers, or freezer drawers, see:
- Adjusting the door trays on page 15
- Adjusting the refrigerator shelves on page 15
- Removing the crispers on page 16
- Clean the doors, handles, and cabinet surfaces with a mild detergent, then rinse with warm water using a wrung-out sponge or cloth.
- Wash the inside with a damp warm cloth soaked in a solution of one quart of lukewarm water to two tablespoons of baking soda solution, then rinse with warm water using a wrung-out sponge or cloth.
- Clean the baskets, shelves, and drawers with a mild detergent and soft cloth, then rinse with warm water.
- Make sure that you keep the door gaskets (seals) clean so that the door seals tightly. This helps your refrigerator run efficiently.
CAUTION: Make sure that the door gaskets are completely dry before you plug your refrigerator into the power outlet.
- Dry all surfaces and removable parts before putting them back into place.
- Plug your refrigerator into the power outlet.
Defrosting your refrigerator
Your refrigerator is "frost-free" and does not require defrosting. Frost formed due to changes of seasons or temperature may be manually removed by unplugging the refrigerator or wiping the freezer compartment with a dry towel.
Shutting down your refrigerator for several months or more
- Turn off your refrigerator and unplug it from the wall outlet.
- Remove all food.
- Clean your refrigerator.
- Leave the door open slightly to avoid possible formation of condensation, mold, or odor.
CAUTION: Use extreme caution with children. Do not let children play with your refrigerator.
Moving your refrigerator
- Turn off your refrigerator and unplug it from the wall outlet.
- Remove all food.
- Securely tape down all loose items inside your refrigerator.
- Tape the doors shut.
- Make sure that your refrigerator stays in the upright position (no more than 45° tilt) during transportation.
Tips on saving energy
- Locate your refrigerator in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances or heating ducts and out of direct sunlight.
- Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing them in your refrigerator. Overloading your refrigerator forces the compressor to run longer.
- Wrap foods correctly and wipe containers dry before placing them in your refrigerator. This cuts down on frost build-up inside your refrigerator.
- Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches.
- Do not use aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling to line shelves. Liners interfere with cold air circulation and make your refrigerator less efficient.
Tips on storing food
- Always store cooked meats on a refrigerator shelf above raw meats to avoid bacterial transfer. Keep raw meat on a plate which is large enough to collect juices, and cover the plate with cling film or foil. Leave space around food. This allows cold air to circulate around your refrigerator so that all parts of your refrigerator are kept cool.
- To prevent transfer of flavors and food drying out, wrap or cover each food item separately. Fruit and vegetables need not be wrapped.
- Let hot food cool down before placing it in the refrigerator or freezer compartment. Placing hot food in the refrigerator or freezer could spoil other food and lead to higher temperatures.
- To prevent cold air from escaping, try to limit the number of times you open the doors. When returning from shopping, sort foods to be kept in the refrigerator compartment before opening the doors. Only open the door to put food in or take it out.
- Do not store food which goes bad easily at low temperature, such as bananas and melons.
- When storing food in the refrigerator compartment, use a container with a lid whenever possible. This prevents moisture from evaporating, and helps food keep its taste and nutrients.
- When storing food in the freezer compartment, wrap the food in polyethylene film, aluminum foil, or other types of freezer storage products.
- Do not block air vents inside either compartment with food. Smooth circulation of cold air keeps the refrigerator and freezer temperatures even.
- Do not open the doors frequently. Opening the doors lets warm air enter the compartments and can cause the temperature to rise.
- To adjust the temperature control easily, do not store food near the temperature controls.
- Never keep too many foods in the door rack, because this may stop the door from fully closing.
- Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment. They may break when frozen.
- Do not refreeze food that has been thawed. This causes a loss of taste and nutrition.
- Store fruits and vegetables in the crisper to prevent excessive evaporation of water and freshness.
- Leave a small amount of "air space" when freezing liquids to allow for expansion.
- To make the best use of freezer space, freeze liquids (or solids with liquids, such as stew) in square blocks. Pour the liquid into a freezer bag placed inside a square-sided container and freeze it. When the liquid is frozen, remove the bag from the container and seal the bag.
Tips for shopping for frozen foods
- When you are buying frozen food, look at the storage guidelines on the packaging. Check the "Best Before" date. Do not use food that is past this date.
- Check the temperature of the frozen food cabinet in the shop where you buy your frozen foods.
- Make sure that the frozen food package is in perfect condition.
- Always buy frozen products last to avoid thawing while you shop.
- Keep frozen food together while shopping, and on the journey home to help to keep the food cooler.
- Don't buy frozen food unless you can freeze it straight away.
- When transporting frozen food, use special insulated bags that you can buy from most supermarkets and hardware shops. These keep frozen food cold longer.
- Freeze food in small quantities. It freezes faster and takes less time to thaw.
- If you are freezing large amounts of fresh food, select a low temperature range. This will lower the temperature in the freezer so your food freezes faster. When the food is frozen, adjust the temperature back to its normal mode.
