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.

Cleaning your refrigerator

1.Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2.Remove all removable parts from inside, such as shelves, crispers, etc.

3.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 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).

4.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.

5.There is no need for routine condenser cleaning in normal home operating environments. If the environment is particularly greasy or dusty, or there is significant pet traffic in the home, the condenser should be cleaned every two to three months to ensure maximum efficiency.

If you need to clean the condenser:

■Remove the base grille (see “Base Grille” or “Door Removal” section).

■Use a vacuum with a soft brush to clean the grille, the open areas behind the grille and the front surface area of the condenser.

■Replace the base grille when finished.

6.Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.

Changing the Light Bulb

NOTE: Not all appliance bulbs will fit your refrigerator. Be sure to replace the bulb with one of the same size, shape, and wattage.

Changing the Refrigerator Light Bulb

KBRA20ELBL0, KBRA20EMSS, KBLA20ELSS0, KBRA20ELSS0, KBRA20ELWH0 specifications

The KitchenAid KBRA20ELBT0, along with its variants KBRA20ELWH0, KBRA20ELSS0, and KBLA20ELSS0, represents the epitome of modern refrigeration technology in bottom-mount refrigerator design. Combining style, functionality, and innovative features, these models are designed to meet the demands of contemporary kitchens while preserving food freshness and accessibility.

One of the standout features is the spacious interior layout which maximizes storage capacity. The bottom-mount design places the refrigerator section at eye level, allowing for easy access to frequently used items while the freezer section is located beneath. This configuration minimizes bending and stretching, thus enhancing convenience in day-to-day use.

Equipped with the Advanced Cooling System, the KBRA20EL series maintains optimal temperature and humidity levels. The system utilizes a combination of precise cooling technology and active temperature management to ensure that food stays fresher for longer. This technology monitors conditions within the refrigerator to minimize temperature fluctuations, which is critical for preserving perishables.

The installation of the FreshChill Temperature Management System further enhances usability by allowing users to customize the temperature settings for different compartments. Additionally, the Produce Preserver feature helps to extend the life of fruits and vegetables by absorbing ethylene gas, which can hasten spoilage.

These models feature a sleek, stainless steel exterior that not only enhances aesthetic appeal but also provides ease of cleaning. The fingerprint-resistant finish ensures that the surface remains smudge-free, which is particularly important in high-traffic kitchens.

Another valuable characteristic is the LED lighting embedded within the refrigerator compartments. This energy-efficient lighting provides bright and clear visibility, making it easy to locate items even in the back of the shelves.

Additionally, the KBRA20EL series includes multiple adjustable shelves and door bins, allowing for flexible storage solutions. The clear shelves make it easy to spot items, reducing the likelihood of food items being lost in the back of the fridge.

In essence, KitchenAid’s KBRA20ELBT0 and its counterparts showcase a sophisticated blend of advanced technology, user-friendly design, and increased storage capabilities. These bottom-mount refrigerators are an ideal choice for homeowners looking to elevate their kitchen experience while ensuring their food stays fresh and accessible. Whether it's the stylish finishes, innovative cooling technology, or versatile storage options, this series is crafted to meet the modern kitchen's needs and demands.
