Door Gaskets: Wipe with a clean, damp cloth to remove food particles.
Condenser Coils: Vacuum the condenser coils (located at the back or bottom front grill) every 6-12 months to maintain efficiency.
Dispenser Area: Wipe spills immediately. Clean the drip tray regularly.

CAUTION! Never use harsh chemicals, abrasives, or scouring pads. Do not pour water directly on the interior or exterior surfaces.

Food Storage Tips

Allow hot food to cool before placing in the refrigerator.
Store raw meat, poultry, and fish on the bottom shelf in sealed containers to prevent cross-contamination.
Use the humidity-controlled crispers: High humidity for leafy vegetables, low humidity for fruits.
Do not block the air vents inside the refrigerator or freezer.
Cover liquids and moist foods to prevent odor transfer and maintain humidity.
Regularly check expiration dates and dispose of spoiled food.

Energy Saving Tips

Ensure the refrigerator is level so doors seal properly.
Check door gaskets periodically. If they are cracked or don't seal tightly, replace them.
Set temperatures to the recommended settings (37°F Fridge, 0°F Freezer).
Keep the condenser coils clean.
Minimize door openings and avoid leaving the door open for extended periods.
Allow hot food to cool completely before storing.
Do not overfill the refrigerator; allow air to circulate around items.
