Cleaning and care

Aluminum frames

The frames of the door bins and shelves are made of aluminum.

^Clean with a mild solution of warm water and liquid dish soap.

Aluminum is susceptible to scratches and nicks, treat with care.

The aluminum frames may become discolored or otherwise altered if soiling is not cleaned away promptly.

Do not use stainless steel cleaners; lime removers; scouring pads, such as pot scrubbers; or used sponges that still contain abrasive cleanser residue to clean the frames.

Ice cube container

^Pull out the ice cube container.

^Empty and clean the ice cube container with lukewarm water.

^Thoroughly dry the container and the anti-clumping screw to prevent new ice cubes from sticking.

^To re-insert push the ice cube container all the way back onto the supports until it locks into position.

^If the container cannot be pushed all the way back, twist the anti-clumping screw in the container.

Drip tray

The drip tray collects excess water.

As soon as the drip tray is full, the "lock" button on the Ice/Water dispenser control panel will flash. A sensor located in the drip tray detects when the drip tray is full.

The drip tray must be emptied and cleaned. However, to prevent odors, the drip tray should be cleaned daily.

When the "lock" button flashes yellow:

^Remove the drip tray cover.

^Empty and clean the drip tray using a sponge or kitchen towel.

^Replace the tray cover.

The "lock" button is now white again.
