Keep Your Appliances FIT
for Your Family’s and Your Country’s Sake
SALVAGE TOR VICTORY
IfEEP ’EM fit—keep ’em fighting!
Your electrical appliances, made of
the same materials as planes, ships, guns
and tanks, are soldiers, too. They protect
the health of your family and in doing so
guard the strength of your country.
Your appliances must last you through
the war. There can’t be any more. Proper
care and cleaning of your appliances will
make them last longer and afford a
positive contribution to Victory.
Here are a few pointers:
1. Keep appliances clean with a
•oft brush or cloth on electrical
parts—never use water.
2. Oil regularly those requiring
lubrication—such as fans, mixers,
washing machines
3. Disconnect appliance promptly
after use. Save all the wear you can.
4. At fir*» sign of trouble, take
your appliance to a reliable repair
shop We’ll . f Ip you find one.
5. Defrost your refrigerator when
frost becomes a quarter-inch thick.
6. Avoid shorts by repairing cords
promptly. Pull out cords by grasp-
ing plug—not the wire.
7. Keep plenty of fuses on hand.
Using a coin in place of a fuse is
dangerous and costly.
8. After using, drain your wash-
ing machine at once, wipe rolls dry
and air out tub. Oil regularly. Don’t
overload.
9. Clean range units with brush.
Never wash heating coils!
10. Keep lamp bulbs and bowls
clean with soap and water to get
more light for your money. Keep
cords in good order.
Attention to these 10 pointers and
plain common-sense care will help your
appliances through the emergency. Your
appliances are worth many times what
you paid for them—get full value from
their use. Remember, that despite much
talk of power shortages, there’s PLENTY
of low-cost electric current here to en-
able vou to use your appliances fully for
convenience and health.
