Care And Cleaning

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. Thoroughly rinse and wipe dry.
• After cleaning the door gaskets, apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly to the door gaskets at the hinge side. This helps keep the gaskets from sticking and bending out of shape.

Moving 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.
• Turn the leveling legs at each front corner of the refrigerator counterclockwise until the rollers support 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.
• When pushing the refrigerator back, make sure you don’t roll over the power cord or ice maker supply line (on some models).
• After rolling the refrigerator back into place, turn the legs clockwise until the legs again bear the weight of the refrigerator.

Installation Instructions

REFRIGERATOR LOCATION

• Do not install the refrigerator where the temperature will go below 55°F (12.7°C) because it will not run often enough to maintain proper temperatures.
• Do not install the refrigerator where the temperature will go above 100°F (37°C) because it will not perform properly.
• Install it on a floor strong enough to support it fully loaded
