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 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:
Remove the base grille.
Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush to clean the grille,
the open areas behind the grille and the front surface area
of the condenser.
Replace the base grille when finished.
5. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.
Defrosting
The No Frost system defrosts the freezer and refrigerator
compartments automatically. There is no need to defrost
manually.
IMPORTANT: It is normal for drops of water to collect on the back
wall of both compartments. Clean the drain opening regularly so
that the defrosted water can flow away and evaporate.
Cleaning the Drain
The drain opening is located on the bottom of the refrigerator
compartment, near the fruit and vegetable crisper drawer.
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Remove the cooler drawer (on some models) to access the
drain opening.
3. Locate the cleaning tool (provided) inside the drain opening.
4. Move the cleaning tool up and down inside the opening to
clear it of debris.
