3.Disconnect the refrigerator from the electrical outlet.
4.Bleed the water from the ice maker fill line and dry the ice maker thoroughly.

Care & Cleaning
Refer to the chart on the following page for specific refrigerator cleaning guidelines.
WARNING
To avoid electrical shock which can cause severe personal injury or death:
•Disconnect the power cord before moving or cleaning the refrigerator.
•Disconnect the power cord before replacing the light bulb.
CAUTION
To avoid personal injury:
•Wear gloves when changing a light bulb to protect against possible broken glass.
No Clean™ Condenser
A clean condenser means more efficient refrigerator operation. Thanks to the unique design of the No Clean™ Condenser, there is no longer a need for routine condenser cleaning in normal home usage surroundings.
Some operating environments may be particularly dusty or greasy. In these situations, the condenser can be periodically cleaned to insure maximum efficiency.
Cleaning Under the Refrigerator
1.Disconnect the power cord.
2.Raise the locking feet, if engaged (see page 3).
3.To prevent an accidental spill, drain any defrost water which may have accumulated in the defrost drain pan. This pan is located behind the front base grille. To remove the pan, push down on both sides and slide it out.
4.If your model has been connected to a water supply for an automatic ice maker, turn off the water before moving the refrigerator.
5.Pull the refrigerator out from the wall.
Replacing a Light Bulb
Always use a standard 40 watt appliance bulb.
Fresh Food Compartment
The light bulb is located under the top of the fresh food compartment.
•Remove light shield, if present.
•Unscrew the light bulb and replace.
Freezer Compartment
The freezer light (select models) is located on the back wall, near the upper right corner.
To remove the bulb cover:
•Grasp the top and bottom of the bulb cover. Press in the areas of the attachment tabs, applying enough pressure to unhook the tabs. At the same time, pivot the cover down and remove.
•Unscrew the lightbulb and replace.
•Replace the bulb cover by pivoting it back into place and snapping the tabs into the appropriate slots.
