Kenmore 253 Guía Para Su Uso Y Cuidado página 17

Keep your refrigerator and freezer clean to prevent odor build-up. Wipe up any spills immediately and clean both sections
at least twice a year. Never use metallic scouring pads, brushes, abrasive cleaners or strong alkaline solutions on any
surface. Do not wash any removable parts in a dishwasher. Always unplug the electrical power cord from the wall
outlet before cleaning.
• When moving the refrigerator, pull straight out. Do not shift the refrigerator from side to side as this may
tear or gouge the floor covering. If the refrigerator has an automatic ice maker, be careful not to move the
refrigerator beyond the plumbing connections.
Damp objects stick to cold metal surfaces. Do not touch refrigerated surfaces with wet or damp hands.
To avoid damage and help the refrigerator run as efficiently as possible, clean the condenser periodically.
NOTES:
Turning the refrigerator temperature control to"0" turns off the compressor, but does not disconnect electrical
power to the light bulb or other electrical components.
Do not use razor blades or other sharp instruments which can scratch the appliance surface when removing
adhesive labels. Any glue left from tape or labels can be removed with a mixture of warm water and mild
detergent, or. touch the giue residue with the sticky side of tape you have already removed. Do not remove the
sedal plate.
