Cleaning

WARNING

Explosion Hazard

Use nonflammable cleaner.

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

Important information to know about glass shelves and covers:

Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when they are cold. Shelves and covers may break if exposed to sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping. For your protection, tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small, pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass shelves and covers are heavy. Use special care when removing them to avoid impact from dropping.

Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost automatically. However, clean both compartments about once a month to avoid build-up of odors. Wipe up spills immediately.

To Clean Your Refrigerator:

IMPORTANT: This cleaner is for stainless steel parts only! Do not allow the Stainless Steel Cleaner and 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 the plastic part with a sponge and mild detergent in warm water. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.

5.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 cleaner with an extended attachment to clean the condenser coils when they are dusty or dirty.

6.Turn the main power switch on and replace the top grille.
