Care and cleaning of the refrigerator.
Condenser
There is no need for routine condenser cleanings in normal home operating environments. However, in environments that may be particularly dusty or greasy, the condenser should be cleaned periodically for efficient refrigerator operation.
Cleaning the condenser:
The condenser is located inside the back of the refrigerator. To access it, remove the cover. The condenser is on the right side. For best results, use a brush specially designed for cleaning condensers.
They are available at most appliance part stores.
Behind the Refrigerator
Be careful when moving the refrigerator away from the wall. All types of floor coverings can be damaged, particularly cushioned coverings and those with embossed surfaces.
Pull the refrigerator straight out and return it to position by pushing it straight in. Moving the refrigerator in a side direction may result in damage to the floor covering or refrigerator.
When pushing the refrigerator back, make sure you don’t roll over the power cord or icemaker supply line (on some models).
Preparing for Vacation
Tips Installation Instructions Operating Instructions Safety Instructions
For long vacations or absences, remove food and unplug the refrigerator. Set each control to 0, and clean the interior with a baking soda solution of one tablespoon
(15 ml) of baking soda to one quart (1 liter) of water. Leave the doors open.
Set the icemaker power switch to the OFF position and shut off the water supply to the refrigerator.
If the temperature can drop below freezing, have a qualified servicer drain the water supply system (on some models) to prevent serious property damage due to flooding.

Preparing to Move
Secure all loose items such as shelves and drawers by taping them securely in place to prevent damage.
When using a hand truck to move the refrigerator, do not rest the front or back of the refrigerator against the hand truck. This could damage the refrigerator. Handle only from the sides of the refrigerator.
Be sure the refrigerator stays in an upright position during moving.
