Removing Odors From
Refrigerator
To avoid electrical
shock which can cause severe
personal injury or death, disconnect
power to
refrigerator
before cleaning. After cleaning,
reconnect
power.
1. Remove all food and turn the refrigerator
OFF.
2. Disconnect
power to the refrigerator.
3. Clean the walls, floor, ceiling of cabinet interior,
drawers, shelves and gaskets according
to the
instructions
(see page 25).
4. Dilute mild detergent
and brush solution
into
crevices using a plastic bristle brush. Let stand for
five minutes. Rinse surfaces with warm water. Dry
surfaces with a soft, clean cloth.
5. Wash and dry all bottles, containers
and jars.
Discard spoiled or expired items.
6. Wrap or store odor-causing
foods in tightly sealed
containers
to prevent reoccurring
odors.
7. Reconnect power to refrigerator
and return food to
refrigerator.
8. Allow the refrigerator
to cool.
9. After 24 hours, check if odor has been eliminated.
If odor is still present:
1. Remove drawers and place on top shelf of
refrigerator.
2. Pack refrigerator
and freezer sections - including
doors - with crumpled sheets of black and white
newspaper.
3. Place charcoal briquettes
randomly on crumpled
newspaper in both freezer and refrigerator
compartments.
4. Close doors and let stand 24 to 48 hours.
Energy Saving Tips
• Avoid overcrowding
refrigerator
shelves. This reduces
air circulation
around food and causes refrigerator
to
run longer.
• Avoid adding too much warm food to refrigerator
at
one time. This overloads compartments
and slows
rate of cooling.
• Do not use aluminum
foil, wax paper, or paper
toweling
as shelf liners. This decreases air flow and
causes refrigerator
to run less efficiently.
• A freezer that is two-thirds
full runs most efficiently.
Locate refrigerator
in coolest part of room. Avoid
areas of direct sunlight, or near heating ducts,
registers or other heat producing
appliances.
If this is
not possible, isolate exterior by using a section of
cabinet or an added layer of insulation.
• Clean door gaskets every three months according
to
cleaning
instructions.
This will assure that door seals
properly and refrigerator
runs efficiently.
• Take time to organize items in refrigerator
to reduce
time that door is open.
• Be sure your doors are closing securely by leveling
refrigerator
as instructed
in your installation
instructions.
• Clean condenser coils as indicated
in the cleaning
instructions
every three months. This will increase
energy efficiency
and cooling
performance.
