Maintaining your refrigerator

Your refrigerator is designed for year-round use with only minimal cleaning and maintenance. When you first receive it, wipe the cabinet with a mild detergent and warm water, then wipe dry with a dry cloth. Do this periodically to keep your refrigerator looking new.

Removing the fruit and vegetable crisper drawers

The fruit and vegetable crisper drawers are designed to store fruits and vegetables. Putting fruits and vegetables inside the drawers helps avoid losing moisture and prevents flavor from getting into other foods. To remove a crisper drawer:

1. Open the refrigerator door all the way.

2. Pull the drawer completely open and move it slightly toward the compartment wall, then lift the drawer up and pull it out of your refrigerator.

Cleaning your refrigerator

We recommend that you do the following every time you clean your refrigerator to keep it running odor-free and efficiently:

1. Unplug your refrigerator from the power outlet.

2. Remove all food.

3. If you want to remove the door baskets, shelves, refrigerator fruit and vegetable crisper drawers, or freezer drawers, see:

• Using the door baskets on page 24

• Adjusting the glass shelves on page 25

• Removing the fruit and vegetable crisper drawers on page 26

• Removing the refrigerator doors (Optional) on page 13

4. Clean the doors, handles, and cabinet surfaces with a mild detergent, then rinse with warm water using a wrung-out sponge or cloth.

5. Wash the inside with a damp warm cloth soaked in a solution of one quart of lukewarm water to two tablespoons of baking soda solution, then rinse with warm water using a wrung-out sponge or cloth.

6. Clean the baskets, shelves, and drawers with a mild detergent and soft cloth, then rinse with warm water.

7. Make sure that you keep the door gaskets (seals) clean so that the door seals tightly. This helps your refrigerator run efficiently.

8. Dry all surfaces and removable parts before putting them back into place.

9. Plug your refrigerator into the power outlet.

Defrosting the freezer compartment

Although the freezer compartment automatically defrosts, a layer of frost may occur on the compartment’s interior walls if the freezer is opened frequently or kept open too long. If the frost is too thick, choose a time when the freezer is nearly empty, then:

1. Unplug your refrigerator.

2. Remove all food from the freezer compartment, and place the food into containers that will prevent it from melting.

3. Leave the freezer compartment open.

4. To speed the defrosting, you can:

• Place open containers with hot water inside the refrigerator.

• Use a plastic or wooden ice shovel (like a spatula) to remove thick layers of ice or frost. Do not use a sharp utensil (like a knife) because you may damage your refrigerator.

5. When you finish defrosting, wipe the inside with a dry towel. If you need to clean the compartment, see Cleaning your refrigerator on page 26.

6. Close the freezer compartment, plug your refrigerator into the power outlet, then put the food back into the freezer compartment.

To drink the freshest and cleanest water from your refrigerator, change the filter on time.

1. Shut off the water supply, then turn off the water shutoff valve on your refrigerator.

2. Turn the old water filter about 1/4 turn counter-clockwise, then pull out the filter.

3. Pull the water filter out of the filter holder. Depending on water impurities, you may have to pull hard to remove the filter.

4. Pull out the water filter tray, then empty the tray. Dry around the filter opening, then put the tray back in.

5. Insert the new water filter into the water filter holder.

6. While turning the new filter clockwise, push it all the way into the holder until it locks into place.

7. Turn on the shutoff valve and the water supply, then run water through the dispenser until the water runs clear (about five minutes). This cleans the water supply system and removes any trapped air.

8. Open the refrigerator door and make sure that no water leaks from the water filter.

9. After you install the new filter, press and hold both the On/Off and Super Freeze buttons for about three seconds to turn off the icon

Reverse osmosis system

If your cold water supply is connected to a reverse osmosis system:

• The water pressure to the reverse osmosis system needs to be between 40 psi to 60 psi (276 kps to 414 kpa).

• The water pressure at the inlet valve on your refrigerator needs to be between 30 psi to 125 psi (207 kpa to 862 kpa).

If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than 40 psi and 60 psi (276 kps and 414 kpa):

• Check the sediment filter on the system, and replace the filter if necessary.

• Allow the storage tank on the system to refill after heavy usage.

• If the water pressure is still too low, your refrigerator's water filter may further reduce the water pressure. Remove the water filter.

Replacing the LED light

If the LED light is damaged:

1. Unplug your refrigerator.

2. Remove the light cover by lifting it up.

3. While pressing the connector latch with one hand, pull the LED light out.

4. Replace the LED light and snap it correctly in place, then replace the light cover.

Tips on saving energy

• Locate your refrigerator in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances or heating ducts and out of direct sunlight.

• Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing them in your refrigerator. Overloading your refrigerator forces the compressor to run longer. Foods that freeze too slowly may lose quality or spoil.

• Wrap foods correctly and wipe containers dry before placing them in your refrigerator. This cuts down on frost build-up.

• Do not line the refrigerator storage shelves with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling. Liners interfere with cold air circulation and make your refrigerator less efficient.

• Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as many items as needed at one time, and close the door as soon as possible.
