Corner Fourth and Main Streets Established In 1890 Member Kcderal Reserve System Member Federal Deposit Insurance United States Depositor; PROPER CARE KEEPS REDDY KILOWATT Your Electric Servant War has made a veteran of your refrigerator. With proper care and attention it will continue to work and serve you and your family efficiently and economically. Check it regularly arid see that it is clean and piled periodically. The suggestions below, if followed, will assist in keeping this faithful servant on the job for many months to come. HERE'S WHAT YOU CAN DO TO KEEP YOUR REFRIGERATOR WORKING FOR YOU WATCH THE FROST ONE --Defrost before it gets thicker than inch.

When frost gets too thick it acts as an insulator ---causes mechanism to run more frequently may raise temperature in food compartment. Defrost and clean your refrigerator at least once a week. KEEP CONDENSER CLEAN--This is important because the condenser is to your refrigerator what the radiator is to your car. Dirt and dust interfere with its cooling efficiency and increase running time of motor. Clean with brush or vacuum cleaner attachment.

CHECK refrigerator needs "room to breathe." See that it has air space in back and over the top. Keep it away from hot air registers, radiators, stoves, etc. You'll save electricity and wear on the mechanism. CHECK DOOR SEAL--Make sure the door gasket fits tightly. If the seal is im- perfect you'll lose refrigeration and money.

If yours is a belt-driven machine--check the belt--make sure it fits tightly and is free from oil or grease. OIL WHEN NECESSARY--Sealed mechanisms require no oiling. "Open Type" mechanisms (usually belt-driven) do require periodic oiling. Your instruction book of dealer will tell you where, when and how to oil your refrigerator mechanism. IF Your Refrigerator Needs be sure to call an experienced electric appliance serviceman.

He has the tools, the knowledge and the parts to do a thorough job. Of course he's very busy these days, so be patient if he can't come just when you want him. THE EMPIRE DISTRICT ELECTRIC CO 'SPAPERJ.
