Care and Cleaning

Cleaning the Outside

Cleaning the Inside

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 an appliance wax polish on the inside surface

between the doors.

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.

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.

Raise the leveling legs located at the bottom front of the

refrigerator.

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.

Lower the leveling legs until they touch the floor.

When pushing the refrigerator back, make sure you

don’t roll over the power cord or water supply line.

Preparing for Vacation

For long vacations or absences, remove food and

unplug the refrigerator. Clean the interior with a baking

soda solution of one tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda

to one quart (1 liter) of water. Leave the doors open.

If the temperature can drop below freezing, have a

qualified service technician drain the water supply

system to prevent serious property damage due to

flooding.

1) Turn refrigerator off (pages 6 and 7) or unplug the

refrigerator.

2) Empty ice bucket.

3) Turn water supply off.

If you cut the water supply off, turn off the

icemaker (pg. 14).

Upon returning from vacation:

1) Replace the water filter.

2) Run 2 gallons of water through the cold water

dispenser (about 5 minutes) to flush the system.

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.
