Care and Cleaning
Cleaning the Outside
The dispenser drip area, (on
some models) beneath the
grille, should be wiped dry.
Water left in this area may
leave deposits. Remove the
deposits by adding undiluted vinegar to the well. Soak
until the deposits disappear or become loose enough to
rinse away.
The dispenser cradle (on some models). Before
cleaning, lock the dispenser by pressing and holding the
LOCK pad for 3 seconds. Clean with warm water and
baking soda solution—about a tablespoon (15 ml) of
baking soda to a quart (1 l) of water. Rinse thoroughly
and wipe dry.
The door handles and trim. Clean with a cloth
dampened with soapy water. Dry with a soft cloth.
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
asBarKeepersFriendSoftCleanser™willremoverust,
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.
Keep the outside clean. Wipe with a clean cloth lightly
dampened with kitchen appliance wax or 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 bleach 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.
Use of any cleaning solution other than that which
is recommended, especially those that contain
petroleum distillates, can crack or damage the
interior of the refrigerator.
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.
The chill/thaw tray is dishwasher safe.
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.
When pushing the refrigerator back, make sure you
don’t roll over the power cord or icemaker supply line (on
some models).
