CLEANING THE REFRIGERATOR

Caring for your Kenmore Elite TM Side-By-Side

Refrigerator prolongs the life of your appliance and helps keep it odor- and germ-free.

Do not use benzene, thinner, or bleach for cleaning. They could cause a fire or damage the surface of the appliance.

Cleaning the Interior

Clean the inside walls and accessories with a mild detergent and then wipe dry with a soft cloth. You can remove the drawers and shelves for a more thorough cleaning. Make sure to dry the drawers and shelves before putting them back into place.

Cleaning the Exterior

Wipe the digital panel and LCD display panel with a clean, soft cloth. Spray water onto the cleaning cloth instead of spraying directly on the surface of the refrigerator.

The doors, handles, and cabinet surfaces should be

cleaned with a mild detergent and then wiped dry with a soft cloth.

To keep your appliance looking its best, the exterior should be polished once or twice a year.

Cleaning the Rubber Door Seals

Dirty door seals can prevent the doors from closing properly and lower the refrigerator's operating efficiency. Clean the door seals with a mild detergent and a damp cloth; then wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth.

Cleaning the Ice/Water Dispenser

Electric Shock Hazard

Do not spray water on the refrigerator while it is plugged in. It could cause an electric shock resulting in death, personal injury, or damage to the appliance.
