REFRIGERATOR CARE
Cleaning
Explosion Hazard
Use nonflammable cleaner.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion,
or fire.
Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost automatically.
However, clean both sections about once a month to prevent
odors from building up. Wipe up spills immediately.
To clean your refrigerator:
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Remove all removable parts from inside, such as shelves,
crispers, etc.
3. 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.
Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window
sprays, scouring cleansers, flammable fluids, cleaning
waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches or cleansers
containing petroleum products on plastic parts, interior
and door liners or gaskets. Do not use paper towels,
scouring pads, or other harsh cleaning tools. These can
scratch or damage materials.
To help remove odors, you can wash interior walls with a
mixture of warm water and baking soda (2 tbs. to 1 qt.
[26 g to .95 L] of water).
4. Wash stainless steel and painted metal exteriors with a clean
sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Do
not use abrasive or harsh cleaners. Dry thoroughly with a soft
cloth. For additional protection against damage to painted
metal exteriors, apply appliance wax (or auto paste wax) with
a clean, soft cloth. Do not wax plastic parts.
NOTE: To keep your Stainless Steel refrigerator looking like
new and to remove minor scuffs or marks, it is suggested that
you use the manufacturer's approved Stainless Steel
Cleaner & Polish.
IMPORTANT: THIS CLEANER IS FOR STAINLESS STEEL
PARTS ONLY! Do not allow the Stainless Steel Cleaner &
Polish to come into contact with any plastic parts such as the
trim pieces, dispenser covers or door gaskets. If accidental
contact does occur, clean plastic part with a sponge and mild
detergent in warm water. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. To
order the cleaner, see the "Accessories" section.
5. Clean the condenser coils regularly. Coils may need to be
cleaned as often as every other month. This may help save
energy.
Style 1 - Condenser coils behind base grille:
Remove the base grille (see the "Base Grille" or "Door
Removal" section).
Use a vacuum with an extended attachment to clean the
condenser coils when they are dusty or dirty.
Replace the base grille when finished.
Style 2 - Condenser coils in back of the refrigerator:
Pull refrigerator out away from the wall (see the
"Unpacking Your Refrigerator" section).
Vacuum coils when they are dusty or dirty.
Roll refrigerator back into place. Make sure to leave 1 in.
(2.5 cm) between the cabinet back and the wall.
Check to see if the refrigerator is level.
6. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.
Changing the Light Bulb
NOTE: Not all appliance bulbs will fit your refrigerator. Be sure to
replace the bulb with one of the same size, shape, and wattage.
To change the refrigerator light:
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Reach behind the Control Panel and unscrew the bulb.
3. Replace the bulb with a 40-watt appliance bulb.
4. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.
