Clean the condenser coils at least
once a year.
Behind the Refrigerator
Be careful when moving the refrigerator
away from the wall. All types of floor
coverings can be damaged, particularly
cushioned coverings and those with
embossed surfaces.
Pull the refrigerator straight out and return
it to position by pushing it straight in.
Moving the refrigerator in a side direction
may result in damage to the floor covering
or refrigerator.
Under the Refrigerator
For most efficient operation, keep the
area under the refrigerator clean. Remove
the base grille and sweep away or vacuum
up dust.
For best results, use a brush specially
designed for this purpose. It is available at
most appliance parts stores.
Preparing for Vacation
For long vacations or absences, remove
food and unplug the refrigerator. Move the
freezer control to the OFF or
and clean the interior with a baking soda
solution of one tablespoon (15 ml) of
baking soda to one quart (1 L) of water.
Leave the doors open.
Move the icemaker feeler arm to the STOP
(up) position and shut off the water supply
to the refrigerator.
Preparing to Move
Secure all loose items such as grille, shelves and drawers by taping them securely
in place to prevent damage.
Be sure the refrigerator stays in an upright position during moving.
When pushing the refrigerator back,
make sure you don't roll over the power
cord or icemaker supply line.
To remove the base grille, open both
doors, grasp the bottom of the grille and
pull it out.
To replace the base grille, line up the clips
on the back of the grille with the openings
in the baseplate and push the grille forward
until it snaps into place.
When you return from vacation, select
WATER on the dispenser and press the
position, dispenser pad for at least two minutes to
remove stale water from the water system.
If the temperature can drop below freezing,
have a qualified servicer drain the water
supply system to prevent serious property
damage due to flooding.
