Cleaning

WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Use nonflammable cleaner.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
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.
IMPORTANT:
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.
For stainless steel models, stainless steel is corrosion-
■
resistant and not corrosion-proof. To help avoid corrosion of
your stainless steel, keep your surfaces clean by using the
following cleaning instructions.
To Clean Your Refrigerator:
NOTE: Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window
sprays, scouring cleansers, flammable fluids, muriatic acid,
cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches or
cleansers containing petroleum products on exterior surfaces
(doors and cabinet), plastic parts, interior and door liners or
gaskets. Do not use paper towels, scouring pads, or other
harsh cleaning tools.
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. 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: 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. 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.

REFRIGERATOR CARE

Changing the Light Bulbs

IMPORTANT:
Not all appliance bulbs will fit your refrigerator. Be sure to
■
replace the bulb with an appliance bulb of the same size,
shape and wattage.
To ensure optimum refrigerator performance, replace light
■
bulbs as soon as they burn out.
Refrigerator Compartment Light
The lighting located at the top of the refrigerator compartment
never needs to be replaced. If the lights do not illuminate when
the door is opened, call for assistance or service. In the U.S.A.,
call 1-800-253-1301. In Canada, call 1-800-807-6777.
Freezer Compartment Light (on some models)
1. Unplug the refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Remove the light shield (on some models).
Top of the freezer compartment - Slide the light shield
■
toward the back of the compartment to release it from
the light assembly.
3. Replace the burned-out bulb with an appliance bulb(s) no
greater than 25 Watts.
4. Replace the light shield.
5. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.

Vacation and Moving Care

Vacations
If You Choose to Leave the Refrigerator On While
You're Away:
1. Use up any perishables and freeze other items.
2. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker, and is
connected to the household water supply, turn off the water
supply to the refrigerator. Property damage can occur if the
water supply is not turned off.
3. If you have an automatic ice maker, turn off the ice maker.
NOTE: Depending on your model, raise the wire shutoff arm
to OFF (up) position, or press the switch to OFF.
4. Empty the ice bin.
If You Choose to Turn Off the Refrigerator Before You
Leave:
1. Remove all food from the refrigerator.
2. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker:
Turn off the water supply to the ice maker at least one
■
day ahead of time.
When the last load of ice drops, raise the wire shutoff
■
arm to the OFF (up) position or press the switch to OFF,
depending on your model.
3. Turn off the Temperature control(s). See "Using the
Control(s)."
4. Clean refrigerator, wipe it, and dry well.
5. 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.
