REFRIGERATOR DRAWERS CARE
Cleaning | Power Interruptions |
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Use nonflammable cleaner.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
The drawers defrost automatically. However, clean both drawers about once a month to avoid buildup of odors. Wipe up spills immediately.
To clean your refrigerator drawers:
1.Hand wash, rinse, and dry interior surfaces thoroughly. Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water.
■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 drawer liners or gaskets. Do not use paper towels, scouring pads, or other harsh cleaning tools. These can scratch or damage materials.
■To help remove odors, you can wash interior walls with a mixture of warm water and baking soda (2 tbs to 1 qt [26 g to 0.95 L] of water).
2.Wash stainless steel and painted metal exteriors with a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. To avoid damage to painted metal exteriors, apply appliance wax (or auto paste wax) with a clean, soft cloth. Do not wax plastic parts.
NOTE: To keep your Stainless Steel refrigerator drawers looking like new and to remove minor scuffs or marks, it is suggested that you use the manufacturer’s approved Stainless Steel Cleaner and Polish. To order the cleaner, see “Accessories.”
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 or drawer gaskets. If unintended contact does occur, clean plastic part with a sponge and mild detergent in warm water. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
If the power will be out for 24 hours or less, keep both refrigerator drawers closed to help food stay cold.
If the power will be out for more than 24 hours, do one of the following:
■Place all perishable food in a food locker or cooler with dry ice.
■If neither a food locker or cooler is available, consume food if still cold or throw away perishable food at once.
Vacation Care
Your refrigerator drawers are equipped with the Sabbath Mode feature. By selecting this feature, the temperature set points remain unchanged, but the control panel and interior lights will turn off. For most efficient refrigerator drawers operation, it is recommended to exit the Sabbath Mode when it is no longer required.
If you choose to leave the refrigerator drawers on while you’re away:
1.Use up any perishables and freeze other items.
2.Press SABBATH MODE touch pad.
3.When you return from vacation, press SABBATH MODE touch pad to return to normal operation.
If you choose to turn the refrigerator drawers off before you leave:
1.Remove all food from the refrigerator drawers.
2.Turn the Control Panel for the Upper and the Lower drawers to Off. See “Using the Controls.”
3.Clean refrigerator drawers, wipe and dry them well.
4.Tape rubber or wood blocks to the tops of both drawers to prop them open far enough for air to get in. This stops odor and mold from building up.
