MAINTENANCE AND CARE

Cleaning

WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Risk of Fire or Explosion.
Flammable Refrigerant Used.
Do Not Use Mechanical Devices to Defrost Refrigerator.
Do Not Puncture Refrigerant Tubing.
Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost automatically.
However, clean both sections about once a month to avoid odor
buildup. Wipe up spills immediately.
IMPORTANT:
� Because air circulates between both sections, any odors
formed in one section will transfer to the other. You must
thoroughly clean both sections to eliminate odors. To avoid
odor transfer and drying out of food, wrap or cover foods
tightly.
� For stainless steel models, stainless steel is corrosion-
resistant and not corrosion-proof. To help avoid corrosion of
your stainless steel, keep your surfaces clean by using the
following cleaning instructions.
To Clean Your Refrigerator:
NOTE: Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window
sprays, scouring cleansers, flammable fluids, muriatic acid,
cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches, or cleansers
containing petroleum products on exterior surfaces (doors and
cabinet), plastic parts, interior, and door liners or gaskets. Do not
use paper towels, scouring pads, or other harsh cleaning tools.
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Hand-wash, rinse, and dry removable parts and interior
surfaces thoroughly. Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a
mild detergent in warm water.
3. Clean the exterior surfaces.
Painted metal: Wash painted metal exteriors with a clean,
soft cloth or sponge and a mild detergent in warm water. Rinse
surfaces with clean, warm water and dry immediately to avoid
water spots.
Stainless steel: Wash stainless steel surfaces with a clean,
soft cloth or sponge and a mild detergent in warm water. Rinse
surfaces with clean, warm water and dry immediately to avoid
water spots.
NOTE: When cleaning stainless steel, always wipe with the

4. There is no need for routine condenser cleaning in normal
home operating environments. If the environment is
particularly greasy or dusty, or there is a significant pet traffic
in the home, the condenser should be cleaned every 2 to 3
months to ensure maximum efficiency.
If you need to clean the condenser:
� Pull refrigerator out away from the wall. See "Unpack the
Refrigerator."
� Remove the base grille.
� Vacuum coils when they are dusty or dirty.
� Replace the base grille when finished.
� Roll refrigerator back into place. Make sure to leave 1"
(2.5 cm) between the cabinet back and the wall.
� Check to see that the refrigerator is level.
5. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.

Changing the LED Module

IMPORTANT: The lights in both the refrigerator and freezer
compartments use LED technology that do not need to be
replaced.
If an LED module(s) do not illuminate when the refrigerator and/or
freezer door is opened, call for assistance or service. See "Quick
Start Guide" for contact information.

Water Filtration System

The water filter is located in the upper right-hand corner of the
refrigerator compartment.
Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of
unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the
system. Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used on
disinfected waters that may contain filterable cysts.
IMPORTANT: The disposable water filter should be replaced at
least every 6 months. If the water flow to the water dispenser or
ice maker decreases noticeably before 6 months have passed,
replace the water filter more often.
