REMOVABLE DOOR BINS
To Remove and Replace a Door Bin:
CRISPER DRAWERS
These drawers can be used for storing vegetables and fruit. To remove, pull the drawer straight out.
There are 6 drawers in the freezer compartment. The top and middle drawers can be removed to turn the bottom drawer cover into a shelf to store tall items.
If installing an ice maker into this unit, the top left drawer is used as an ice storage bin.
To Remove/Replace Freezer Drawer:
Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost automatically. However, clean both sections about once a month to avoid buildup of odors. Wipe up spills immediately.
Because air circulates between both sections, any odors formed in one section will transfer to the other. You must thoroughly clean both sections to eliminate odors. To avoid odor transfer and drying out of food, wrap or cover foods tightly.
IMPORTANT:
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 door seals every 3 months. Wash the joints with a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent diluted in lukewarm water. Rinse thoroughly and dry well. Applying a little petroleum jelly to the joints on the hinge side will ensure a better seal. NOTE: The cleanliness of the gaskets will ensure a better seal.
5. Plug in the refrigerator or reconnect the power source.
The interior lights of the refrigerator turn off when the doors are open for more than 7 minutes.
IMPORTANT: Your refrigerator is equipped with LED lighting. These lights are designed to last for the life of your refrigerator. However, if the lights stop operating, please contact a qualified technician for replacement.
