REFRIGERATOR CARE

Cleaning

Explosion Hazard

Use nonflammable cleaner.

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost automatically. However, clean both sections about once a month to prevent odors from building up. Wipe up spills immediately.

To clean your refrigerator:

6.Clean the condenser coils located behind the top grille ventilation panel regularly. Coils may need to be cleaned as often as every other month. This may help save energy.

■Use a vacuum with an extended attachment to clean the condenser coils when they are dusty or dirty.

7.Clean defrost pan using mild detergent in warm water. Dry thoroughly.

■Remove the base grille by removing a screw at each end.

■Remove the defrost pan by pushing up on the retaining clip under the refrigerator while sliding the pan forward.

1.

Remove the top grille. See the “Power On/Off Switch”

 

section.

2.

Press power switch to the OFF position.

3.

Remove all removable parts from inside, such as shelves,

 

crispers, etc.

4.

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.

 

■ Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window

2

sprays, scouring cleansers, flammable fluids, cleaning

waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches or cleansers

containing petroleum products on plastic parts, interior

and door liners or gaskets. Do not use paper towels,

scouring pads, or other harsh cleaning tools. These can

scratch or damage materials.

■ To help remove odors, you can wash interior walls with a

mixture of warm water and baking soda (2 tbs. to 1 qt.

[26 g to .95 L] of water).

5. Wash stainless steel and painted metal exteriors with a clean

sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Do

not use abrasive or harsh cleaners. Dry thoroughly with a soft

cloth. For additional protection against damage to painted

metal exteriors, apply appliance wax (or auto paste wax) with

a clean, soft cloth. Do not wax plastic parts.

NOTE: To keep your Stainless Steel refrigerator looking like

new and to remove minor scuffs or marks, it is suggested that

you use the manufacturer’s approved Stainless Steel Cleaner

& Polish.

IMPORTANT: This cleaner is for Stainless Steel parts only!

Do not allow the Stainless Steel Cleaner & Polish to come into

contact with any plastic parts such as the trim pieces,

dispenser covers or door gaskets. If accidental contact does

occur, clean plastic part with a sponge and mild detergent in

warm water. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. To order the

cleaner, see the “Accessories” section.

1.Defrost pan

2.Retaining clip

■Replace the defrost pan by positioning the edge of the defrost pan approximately 7 in. (17.8 cm) from the left side of the refrigerator. Lift defrost pan into guides and push back and place pan inside of retaining clip. Replace the base grille and base grille screws.

8.Press the power switch to the ON position.

9.Replace the top grille. See the “Power On/Off Switch” section.

Changing the Light Bulbs

NOTE: Not all appliance bulbs will fit your refrigerator. Be sure to replace the bulb with one of the same size and shape. The dispenser light requires a heavy duty 10-watt bulb. All other lights require a 40-watt maximum appliance bulb. Replacement bulbs are available from your dealer.

1.Remove the top grille. See the “Power On/Off Switch” section.

2.Press power switch to the OFF position.

3.Remove light shield when applicable as shown.

NOTE: To clean a light shield, wash it with warm water and a liquid detergent. Rinse and dry the shield well.

4.Remove light bulb and replace with one of the same size, shape and wattage.
