CARE AND CLEANING

GENERAL CLEANING TIPS

• Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power. • Remove all removable parts, such as shelves, crispers, etc. Refer to sections in Using Your Refrigerator for removal instructions. • Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners. • Hand wash, rinse and dry all surfaces thoroughly. • Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.

EXTERIOR

• Waxing external painted metal surfaces helps provide rust protection. Do not wax plastic parts. Wax painted metal surfaces at least twice a year using appliance wax (or auto paste wax). Apply wax with a clean, soft cloth.
• For products with a stainless steel exterior, use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.

DOOR LINERS AND GASKETS

• Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Do not use cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches, or cleaners containing petroleum on plastic refrigerator parts.

PLASTIC PARTS (Covers and Panels)

• Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Do not use window sprays, abrasive cleansers, or flammable fluids. These can scratch or damage the material.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

Refrigerator and Freezer section are not cooling.

• Turn the control ON. Refer to the Setting the Controls section for proper temperature settings.
• Demo Mode allows the lights and control display to work normally while disabling cooling to save energy while on the showroom floor. Refer to the Setting the Controls section for instructions on how to disable Demo Mode.
• During the defrost cycle, the temperature of each compartment may raise slightly. Wait 30 minutes and confirm the proper temperature has been restored once the defrost cycle has completed.
• It may take up to 24 hours for each compartment to reach the desired temperature.
• If the refrigerator was stored for a long period of time or moved on its side, it is necessary for the refrigerator to stand upright for 24 hours before connecting it to power.

Food is freezing in the refrigerator compartment.

• Rearrange items with high water content away from air vents.
• If the temperature is too cold, adjust the control one increment at a time and wait for the temperature to stabilize. Refer to the Setting the Controls section for more information
• When the refrigerator is operated in temperature below 41°F (5°C), food can freeze in the refrigerator compartment. The refrigerator should not be operated in temperature below 55°F (13°C).

Frost or ice crystals form on frozen food (outside of package).

• When the doors are opened often or for long periods of time, warm, humid air enters the compartment. This raises the temperature and moisture level within the compartment. Increased moisture will lead to frost and condensation. To lessen the effect, reduce the frequency and duration of door openings.
• Refer to the Doors will not close correctly or pop open section in the Troubleshooting section.
