REFRIGERATOR CARE

Cleaning

WARNING

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 avoid buildup of odors. Wipe up spills immediately.

IMPORTANT: 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.

To Clean Your Refrigerator:

NOTE: 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.

1.Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2.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.

3.Wash painted metal exteriors with a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.

4.Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.

Changing the Light Bulbs

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

1.Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2.Remove the upper shelf to access the light shield.

3.Press the side of the light shield to release it from the catch and pull the shield away from the light assembly.

4.Remove the light bulb and replace it with a new 25-watt appliance bulb. Replace the light shield.

5.Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.

Vacation and Moving Care

Vacations

If You Choose to Leave the Refrigerator On While You’re Away:

1.Use up any perishables and freeze other items.

2.If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker, and is connected to the household water supply, turn off the water supply to the refrigerator. Property damage can occur if the water supply is not turned off.

3.If you have an automatic ice maker, turn off the ice maker.

NOTE: Depending on your model, raise the wire shutoff arm to OFF (up) position, or press the switch to OFF.

4.Empty the ice bin.

If You Choose to Turn Off the Refrigerator Before You Leave:

1.Remove all food from the refrigerator.

2.If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker:

■Turn off the water supply to the ice maker at least one day ahead of time.

■When the last load of ice drops, raise the wire shutoff arm to the OFF (up) position or press the switch to OFF, depending on your model.

3.Turn off the Temperature control(s). See “Using the Control(s).”

4.Clean refrigerator, wipe it, and dry well.

5.Tape rubber or wood blocks to the tops of both doors to prop them open far enough for air to get in. This stops odor and mold from building up.

Moving

When you are moving your refrigerator to a new home, follow these steps to prepare it for the move.

1.If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker:

■Turn off the water supply to the ice maker at least one day ahead of time.

■Disconnect the water line from the back of the refrigerator.

■When the last load of ice drops, raise the wire shutoff arm to the OFF (up) position or press the switch to OFF, depending on your model.

2.Remove all food from the refrigerator and pack all frozen food in dry ice.

3.Empty the ice bin.

4.Turn off the Temperature control(s). See “Using the Control(s).”

5.Unplug refrigerator.

6.Clean, wipe, and dry thoroughly.

7.Take out all removable parts, wrap them well, and tape them together so they don’t shift and rattle during the move.

8.Depending on the model, raise the front of the refrigerator so it rolls more easily OR raise the leveling screws so they don't scrape the floor. See “Adjust the Door(s).”

9.Tape the doors closed and tape the power cord to the back of the refrigerator.

When you get to your new home, put everything back and refer to the “Installation Instructions” section for preparation instructions. Also, if your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker, remember to reconnect the water supply to the refrigerator.
