CLEANING CARE – EXTERIOR
Kickstrip grilles and kickstrip filter
Your refrigerator is fitted with a kickstrip grille and filter to protect the internal
working components. We recommend cleaning the grille and filter in conjunction with
changing your water filter cartridge (every 6months).
To maximize operating efficiency keep ventilation openings clear of obstructions by
regularly vacuuming the flooring in front of your appliance.
More frequent cleaning may be necessary for dusty homes or those with pets
sheddinghair.
