Care and Cleaning

Cleaning the Outside

The door handles and trim (on some models). Clean
with a cloth dampened with soapy water. Dry with a soft
cloth.
Keep the outside clean. Wipe with a clean cloth lightly
dampened with mild liquid dish detergent. Dry and polish
with a clean, soft cloth.
Do not wipe the refrigerator with a soiled dish cloth or
wet towel. These may leave a residue that can erode
the paint. Do not use scouring pads, powdered cleaners,
bleach or cleaners containing either bleach or ammonia
because these products can scratch and weaken the
paint finish.

Cleaning the Inside

To help prevent odors, leave an open box of baking
soda in the fresh food and freezer compartments.
Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning.
If this is not practical, wring excess moisture out of
sponge or cloth when cleaning around switches, lights or
controls.
Use warm water and baking soda solution—about a
tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda to a quart (1 liter) of
water. This both cleans and neutralizes odors. Rinse and
wipe dry.

Moving 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, or leaning the unit to the corner to pull
or push, may result in damage to the floor covering or
refrigerator.
Light
This refrigerator has LED lighting. Call service if the light
is broken or goes out.

The stainless steel doors and door handles (on some
models) can be cleaned with a commercially available
stainless steel cleaner. Cleaners with oxalic acid such as
Bar Keepers Friend Soft Cleanser™ will remove surface
rust, tarnish and small blemishes. Use only a liquid
cleanser free of grit and rub in the direction of the brush
lines with a damp soft sponge. Do not use appliance
wax or polish on the stainless steel.
After cleaning the door gaskets, apply a thin layer of
petroleum jelly to the door gaskets at the hinge side.
This helps keep the gaskets from sticking and bending
out of shape.
CAUTION
Do not clean glass shelves or covers
with warm water when they are cold. Glass shelves and
covers may break if exposed to sudden temperature
changes or impact such as bumping or dropping.
Tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small
pieces if it breaks.
Do not wash any plastic refrigerator parts in the
dishwasher.
When pushing the refrigerator back, make sure you don't
roll over the power cord or ice maker supply line (on
some models).
Adjust leveling legs and make sure the unit is leveled.
