CARING FOR YOUR REFRIGERATOR

Cleaning

WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Use nonflammable cleaner.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
Clean the refrigerator about once a month to keep odors from building
up. Wipe up spills immediately.
To Clean Your Refrigerator:
1. Press and hold TEMP SETTING for 3 seconds to turn off cooling.
2. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
3. Remove all removable parts from inside, such as shelves, crispers,
etc.
4. 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
0.95 L] of water).
5. Replace the removable parts.
6. Use the appropriate cleaning method for your exterior finish.
Painted Metal: Wash exteriors with a clean sponge or soft cloth
and a mild detergent in warm water. Do not use abrasive or harsh
cleaners, or cleaners designed for stainless steel. Dry thoroughly
with a soft cloth.
7. Clean the condenser coils regularly. Coils may need to be cleaned
as often as every other month. This may help save energy.
Open the refrigerator door and remove the base grille by
removing 2 Phillips-head screws and pulling the grille toward
you.
Use a vacuum with an extended attachment to clean the
condenser coils when they are dusty or dirty.
Replace the base grille by snapping the grille into place.
Reinstall the screws removed in Step 1.
8. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.
9. Set temperature control to desired setting. See "Using the
Control."

Changing the Light Bulbs

NOTE: Not all appliance bulbs will fit your freezer. Be sure to replace
the bulb with one of the same size, shape, and wattage.
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Remove the light shield by squeezing the lens from the sides,
pushing back and pulling down.
3. Replace bulb with a 40-watt maximum appliance bulb.
4. Replace the light shield.
5. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.

Power Interruptions

If the power will be out for 24 hours or less, keep the door closed to help
food stay cold.
If the power will be out for more than 24 hours, consume or can
perishable food at once.
REMEMBER: If the condition of the food is poor, dispose of it.
