Interior Cleaning
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Hand wash, rinse, and dry removable parts and interior
surfaces thoroughly. Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a
mild detergent in warm water.
NOTE: Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as
window sprays, scouring cleansers, ammable uids,
cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches or
cleansers containing petroleum products on plastic parts,
interior and door liners or gaskets.
3. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.
Condenser Cleaning
There is no need for routine condenser cleaning in normal
home operating environments. If the environment is particularly
greasy or dusty, or there is signicant pet trafc in the home,
the condenser should be cleaned every 2 to 3 months to ensure
maximum efciency.
If you need to clean the condenser:
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Remove the base grille.
3. Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush to clean the grille,
the open areas behind the grille and the front surface area of
the condenser.
4. Replace the base grille when nished.
5. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.
Lights
The lights in both the refrigerator and freezer compartments
are LEDs which do not need to be replaced. If the lights do not
illuminate when the door or drawer is opened, call for assistance
or service. In the U.S.A., call 1-800-253-1301. In Canada call
1-800-807-6777.
Vacation and Moving Care
Vacations
If You Choose to Leave the Refrigerator On While You’re
Away:
1. Use up any perishables and freeze other items.
2. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker, and is
connected to the household water supply, turn off the water
supply to the refrigerator. Property damage can occur if the
water supply is not turned off.
3. If you have an automatic ice maker, turn off the ice maker.
NOTE: Depending on your model, raise the wire shutoff arm
to OFF (up) position, or press the switch to OFF.
4. Empty the ice bin.
If You Choose to Turn Off the Refrigerator Before You Leave:
1. Remove all food from the refrigerator.
2. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker:
■ Turn off the water supply to the ice maker at least one day
ahead of time.
■ When the last load of ice drops, raise the wire shutoff
arm to the OFF (up) position or press the switch to OFF,
depending on your model.
3. Turn off the Temperature control(s). See “Using the
Control(s).”
4. Clean refrigerator, wipe it, and dry well.
5. Tape rubber or wood blocks to the tops of both doors to
prop them open far enough for air to get in. This stops odor
and mold from building up.
Moving
When you are moving your refrigerator to a new home, follow
these steps to prepare it for the move.
1. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker:
■ Turn off the water supply to the ice maker at least one day
ahead of time.
■ Disconnect the water line from the back of the refrigerator.
■ When the last load of ice drops, raise the wire shutoff
arm to the OFF (up) position or press the switch to OFF,
depending on your model.
2. Remove all food from the refrigerator and pack all frozen
food in dry ice.
3. Empty the ice bin.
4. Turn off the Temperature control(s). See “Using the
Control(s).”
5. Unplug refrigerator.
6. Clean, wipe, and dry thoroughly.
7. Take out all removable parts, wrap them well, and tape them
together so they don’t shift and rattle during the move.
8. Depending on the model, raise the front of the refrigerator so
it rolls more easily OR raise the leveling screws so they don't
scrape the oor. See “Adjust the Door(s).”
9. Tape the doors closed and tape the power cord to the back
of the refrigerator.
When you get to your new home, put everything back and
refer to the “Installation Instructions” section for preparation
instructions. Also, if your refrigerator has an automatic ice
maker, remember to reconnect the water supply to the
refrigerator.
