REFRIGERATOR CARE
CLEANING
Clean both the freezer and refrigerator compartments
about once a month to avoid buildup of odors. Wipe up spills
immediately.
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Use nonflammable cleaner.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion or fire.
IMPORTANT:
•
Do not use harsh chemicals, ammonia, chlorine bleach,
concentrated detergent, solvents, abrasives or metal
scouring pads to clean your refrigerator inside or out.
They can damage and/or discolor the refrigerator nish.
•
Do not use warm water to clean glass shelves while they
are still cold. Glass may break when exposed to sudden
temperature changes or impact.
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Using a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent
dissolved in warm water, wash removable parts and the
interior surfaces. Rinse well and dry thoroughly.
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: Stainless steel is corrosion resistant
and not corrosion-proof. To help avoid corrosion of
your 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. Clean the condenser at least once a year. Using a vacuum
cleaner, remove the dust that has accumulated on the
condenser.
NOTE: The condenser is located at the back of the
refrigerator.
5. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.
DEFROSTING
The refrigerator and freezer compartments defrost
automatically. A small amount of frost buildup on the Fresh
Food Cold Wall is normal. If the amount of frost becomes
excessive, you may need to raise the temperature by
adjusting the Temperature Control dial to a lower number
(less cold) setting. See “Control.”
The defrost water goes through a collection channel and into
the drain tube which is attached to the drain tray at the back
of the refrigerator. To avoid water spilling onto the oor, it is
important to make sure the end of the drain tube is inserted
fully into the drain tray.
If the defrost water does not drain from the collection
channel, check that the drain tube is clear. The drain tube
can be cleared with a pipe cleaner or by pushing the plastic
plunger (provided) down the drain tube.
During defrosting, water droplets may form at the back of
the refrigerator compartment where a concealed evaporator
is located. Some moisture will remain on the Fresh Food Cold
Wall (rear wall) and refreeze when defrosting is completed.
Do not use pointed or sharp-edged objects such as knives or
forks to remove the frozen droplets.
