3. The exterior of the refrigerator should be cleaned with a damp cloth and dried at once. The durable and attractive finish, both inside and outside the Prestcold Refrigerator, will give satisfactory service if the above advice is acted upon. 4. It is inadvisable to put hot food into the refrigerator. Moisture from the food will condense on the cool walls and the heat from the food will cause excessive running of the machine. 5. Once the refrigerator is started it should be allowed to operate automatically. A thermostat control is incorporated which switches the motor on and off at the correct times and so effects the maximum possible economy in operation of the machine. There is nothing to be gained by switching off the machine at night or for a few days at a time. 6. The door should be kept tightly closed in order to prevent the entry of warm air from the outside. Do not open doors unnecessarily. 7. The only mechanical attention required by the refrigerator is the oiling of the motor once every three months with a good grade of medium machine oil. 8. The removal of ice cubes from the tray is facilitated by holding the tray upside down under running water from a tap. 9.
