Care and Cleaning
Stainless Steel Refrigerator
19
Under
refrigerator
For most efficient operation, you need to
keep the area under the refrigerator clean.
Remove the base grille and either sweep
away or vacuum up dust that is readily
accessible. For best results, use a brush
specially designed for this purpose. It is
available at most appliance parts stores.
This easy cleaning operation should be
done at least once a year.
To remove the base grille, open both
doors, grasp the bottom of the grille
and pull it out.
To replace base grille, line up the clips on
the back of the grille with the openings in
the base plate and push the grille forward
until it snaps into place.
Clean the condenser coils
at least once a year.
Behind
refrigerator
Care should be taken in moving your
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 your refrigerator in a side
direction may result in damage to your
floor covering or refrigerator.
When pushing the refrigerator back, make
sure you don’t roll over the power cord or
icemaker supply line (on some models).
Preparing
for vacation
For long vacations or absences, remove
food and unplug the refrigerator. Move
the control to “0,” 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 (on some
models) to the STOP (up) position and
shut off the water supply to the
refrigerator.
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.
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.
