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 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, 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 0.95 L] of water).
4. Wash exterior 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.
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. To order the cleaner, see the
"Accessories" section.
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
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.
5. Replace the removable parts.
6. Clean the condenser coils regularly. They are located behind
the base grille. Coils may need to be cleaned as often as
every other month. This may help save energy.
Remove the base grille. See "Base Grille."
Use a vacuum cleaner with an extended attachment to
clean the condenser coils when they are dusty or dirty.
Replace the base grille.
7. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.

shield up.

Vacation and Moving Care

Vacations
If you choose to leave the refrigerator on while you're away, use
up any perishables and freeze other items.
If you choose to turn the refrigerator off before you leave, follow
these steps.
1. Remove all food from the refrigerator.
2. Unplug the refrigerator.
3. Clean the refrigerator. See "Cleaning."
4. Tape a rubber or wood block to the top of the door to prop it
open far enough for air to get in. This stops odor and mold
from building up.
Moving
When you are moving your refrigerator to a new home, follow
these steps to prepare it for the move.
1. Remove all food from the refrigerator.
2. Unplug the refrigerator.
3. Clean, wipe, and dry it thoroughly.
4. Take out all removable parts, wrap them well, and tape them
together so they don't shift and rattle during the move.
5. Tape the doors shut and tape the power cord to the back of
the refrigerator.
When you get to your new home, put everything back and refer to
the "Installation Instructions" section for preparation instructions.
