REFRIGERATOR CARE
CLEANING
Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost automatically.
However, clean both sections about once a month to avoid buildup
of odors. Wipe up spills immediately.
Because air circulates between both sections, any odors formed in
one section will transfer to the other. You must thoroughly clean
both sections to eliminate odors. To avoid odor transfer and drying
out of food, wrap or cover foods tightly.
Explosion Hazard
Use nonflammable cleaner.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion or fire.
IMPORTANT:
•
Do not use harsh chemicals, ammonia, chlorine bleach,
concentrated detergent, solvents, abrasives or metal scouring
pads to clean your refrigerator inside or out. They can damage
and/or discolor the refrigerator nish.
•
Do not use warm water to clean glass shelves while they are still
cold. Glass may break when exposed to sudden temperature
changes or impact.
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Clean the interior. 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.
3. Clean the exterior surfaces.
Painted metal: Wash painted metal exteriors with a clean, soft
cloth or sponge and a mild detergent in warm water. Rinse
surfaces with clean, warm water and dry immediately to avoid
water spots.
Stainless steel: Stainless steel is corrosion resistant and not
corrosion-proof. To help avoid corrosion of your stainless steel,
wash stainless steel surfaces with a clean, soft cloth or sponge
and a mild detergent in warm water. Rinse surfaces with clean,
warm water and dry immediately to avoid water spots.
NOTE: When cleaning stainless steel, always wipe in the
direction of the grain to avoid cross-grain scratching.
4. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.
LIGHTS
The interior lights of the refrigerator turn o when the doors are
open for more than 7 minutes.
IMPORTANT: Your refrigerator is equipped with LED lighting. These
lights are designed to last for the life of your refrigerator. However,
if the lights stop operating, please contact a qualied technician for
replacement.
VACATION AND MOVING CARE
VACATION
If You Choose to Leave the Refrigerator On While You’re Away:
1. Use up any perishables and freeze other items.
If You Choose to Turn O the Refrigerator Before You Leave:
1. Remove all food from the refrigerator and freezer.
2. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
3. Clean refrigerator, wipe it, and dry well.
4. Tape rubber or wood blocks to the tops of both doors to prop
them open far enough for air to get in. This stops odor and mold
from building up.
MOVING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
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 and pack all frozen food in
dry ice.
2. Unplug refrigerator.
3. Clean, wipe, and dry 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. Raise the leveling legs so they don’t scrape the oor. See
“Leveling.”
6. Tape the doors closed 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.
