The Refrigerator

Daily Care. 1. Have perfect order at all times. 2. See that no food remains in refrigerator long enough to spoil. 3. Empty drain pan once a day. 4. Do not put food away in fine china dishes nor wrapped in paper. 5. Keep all dishes containing milk or butter carefully covered. These foods absorb odors and flavors readily. 6. See that the ice is rinsed before it is put into the ice compartment.

Weekly Cleaning. 1. Clean refrigerator at least once a week thoroughly. 2. Wash shelves and ice rack with hot soap suds and rinse in clean, hot water. Dry in the sun if possible. 3. Wash inside of refrigerator in the same way. Clean grooves and corners with a cloth on a wooden skewer. 4. Remove drain pipe and wash it or run a wire with a cloth on it down the pipe. Pour hot sal soda solution through the drain pipe and trap. 5 Wipe the refrigerator dry and let it remain open for an hour before putting food in it.

Suggestions for Selecting a Refrigerator. 1. Have the refrigerator large enough, for a small piece of ice melts much more rapidly than a large one. 2. Have the refrigerator high enough from the floor to sweep under it. 3. A white enameled or porcelain-lined refrigerator is more easily kept clean than one lined with zinc. beqq.
