CARING FOR YOUR REFRIGERATOR

Your refrigerator is built to give you many years of dependable service. However, there are a few things

you can do to help extend its product life. This section tells

you how to clean your refrigerator and what to do when going on vacation, moving, or during a power outage.

Cleaning your refrigerator

The refrigerator and freezer compartments defrost automatically. However, clean both once a month to prevent odors from building up. Wipe up spills immediately.

Then, take out all removable parts and clean the refrigerator according to the directions given below. Be sure to press the Power On/Off Switch to the “ON” position when you are finished cleaning.
