PROTECTING YOUR INVESTMENT

Keeping your refrigerator clean maintains appearance and prevents odor build-up. Wipe up any spills immediately and clean the freezer and fresh food compartments at least twice a year. When cleaning, take the following precautions:

•Never use metallic scouring pads, brushes, abrasive cleaners or strong alkaline solutions on any surface.

•Do not wash any removable parts in a dishwasher.

•Always unplug the electrical power cord from the wall outlet before cleaning.

NOTE

If you set your temperature controls to turn off cooling, power to lights and other electrical components continues until you unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.

•Remove adhesive labels by hand. Do not use razor blades or other sharp instruments which can scratch the appliance surface.

•Do not remove the serial plate.

Refer to the guide on the next page for details on caring and cleaning specific areas of your refrigerator.

!CAUTION

•Pull the refrigerator straight out to move it. Shifting it from side to side may damage flooring. Be careful not to move the refrigerator beyond the plumbing connections.

•Damp objects stick to cold metal surfaces. Do not touch refrigerated surfaces with wet or damp hands.

IMPORTANT

If you store or move your refrigerator in freezing temperatures, be sure to completely drain the water supply system. Failure to do so could result in water leaks when the refrigerator is put back into service. Contact a service representative to perform this operation.
