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
Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost automatically. However, clean both about once a month to help prevent odors from building up. Wipe up spills right away.
To clean your refrigerator, unplug it, take out all removable parts and clean the refrigerator according to the following directions.
Personal Injury Hazard
Refrigeration system tubes are near the defrost pan and can become hot. Re- move and install defrost pan carefully.
Failure to do so could result in personal injury.
