Care and cleaning of the refrigerator.
14
Condenser
There is no need for routine condenser
cleanings in normal home operating
environments. However, in environments
that may be particularly dusty or greasy, the
condenser should be cleaned periodically
for efficient refrigerator operation.
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.
Preparing for Vacation
For long vacations or absences, remove
food and unplug the refrigerator. Set each
control to 0 , and clean the interior with a
baking soda solution of one tablespoon
(15 ml) of baking soda to one quart (1 liter)
of water. Leave the doors open.
Set the icemaker power switch to the OFF
position and shut off the water supply to
the refrigerator.
Preparing to Move
Secure all loose items such as shelves and
drawers by taping them securely in place
to prevent damage.
When using a hand truck to move the
refrigerator, do not rest the front or back of
the refrigerator against the hand truck. This
could damage the refrigerator. Handle only
from the sides of the refrigerator.
Be sure the refrigerator stays in an upright
position during moving.
Cleaning the condenser:
The condenser is located inside the back
of the refrigerator. To access it, remove the
cover. The condenser is on the right side.
For best results, use a brush specially
designed for cleaning condensers.
They are available at most appliance
part stores.
When pushing the refrigerator back, make sure
you don't roll over the power cord or icemaker
supply line (on some models).
If the temperature can drop below freezing,
have a qualified servicer drain the water
supply system (on some models) to prevent
serious property damage due to flooding.
