Behind the Refrigerator

Safety

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.

Instructions Operating

Clean the condenser coils at least once a year.

Under the Refrigerator

For most efficient operation, keep the area under the refrigerator clean. Remove the base grille and sweep away or vacuum up dust.

For best results, use a brush specially designed for this purpose. It is available at most appliance parts stores.

To remove the base grille, open both doors, grasp the bottom of the grille and pull it out.

To replace the base grille, line up the clips on the back of the grille with the openings in the baseplate and push the grille forward until it snaps into place.

Preparing for Vacation

For long vacations or absences, remove food and unplug the refrigerator. Move the freezer control to the OFF or position, and clean the interior with a baking soda solution of one tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda to one quart (1 L) of water. Leave the doors open.

Move the icemaker feeler arm to the STOP (up) position and shut off the water supply to the refrigerator.

When you return from vacation, select WATER on the dispenser and press the dispenser pad for at least two minutes to remove stale water from the water system.

If the temperature can drop below freezing, have a qualified servicer drain the water supply system to prevent serious property damage due to flooding.

Troubleshooting Tips

Preparing to Move

Secure all loose items such as grille, shelves and drawers by taping them securely in place to prevent damage.

Be sure the refrigerator stays in an upright position during moving.
