Care And Cleaning

Cleaning the Outside
The door handles and trim (on some models) . Clean with
a cloth dampened with soapy water . Dry with a soft cloth .
Keep the outside clean. Wipe with a clean cloth lightly
dampened with kitchen appliance wax or mild liquid dish
detergent . Dry and polish with a clean, soft cloth .
Do not wipe the refrigerator with a soiled dish cloth or
wet towel . These may leave a residue that can erode
the paint . Do not use scouring pads, powdered cleaners,
bleach or cleaners containing either bleach or ammonia
because these products can scratch and weaken the
paint finish .
The stainless steel doors and door handles (on some
models) can be cleaned with a commercially available
stainless steel cleaner . Cleaners with oxalic acid such as
Bar Keepers Friend Soft Cleanser™ will remove surface
rust, tarnish and small blemishes . Use only a liquid
cleanser free of grit and rub in the direction of the brush
lines with a damp soft sponge . Do not use appliance wax
or polish on the stainless steel .
Cleaning the Inside
To help prevent odors, leave an open box of baking soda
in the fresh food and freezer compartments .
Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning . If this is not
practical, wring excess moisture out of sponge or cloth
when cleaning around switches, lights or controls .
Use warm water and baking soda solution—about a
tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda to a quart (1 liter) of
water . This both cleans and neutralizes odors . Rinse and
wipe dry .
After cleaning the door gaskets, apply a thin layer of
petroleum jelly to the door gaskets at the hinge side .
This helps keep the gaskets from sticking and bending
out of shape .
CAUTION
Do not clean glass shelves or covers
with warm water when they are cold . Glass shelves and
covers may break if exposed to sudden temperature
changes or impact such as bumping or dropping .
Tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small
pieces if it breaks . Do not wash any plastic refrigerator
parts in the dishwasher .

Moving the Refrigerator
Be careful when moving the refrigerator away from
the wall . All types of floor coverings can be damaged,
particularly cushioned coverings and those with
embossed surfaces .
Turn the leveling legs at each front corner of the
refrigerator counterclockwise until the rollers support
the refrigerator . Pull the refrigerator straight out and
return it to position by pushing it straight in . Moving the
refrigerator in a side direction may result in damage to
the floor covering or refrigerator .
When pushing the refrigerator back, make sure you don't
roll over the power cord or ice maker supply line (on
some models) .
After rolling the refrigerator back into place, turn the legs
clockwise until the legs again bear the weight of the
refrigerator .
Light Bulb Replacement
WARNING
Before replacing a burned-out light
bulb, the refrigerator should be unplugged in order to
avoid contact with a live wire filament . (A burned-out light
bulb may break when being replaced .)
Turning the control to the OFF position does not remove
power to the light circuit .
Preparing for Vacation
For long vacations or absences, remove food and unplug
the refrigerator . Move the temperature control dial to the
OFF position, and clean the interior with a baking soda
solution of one tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda to one
quart (1 liter) of water . Leave the doors open .
Move the switch to the OFF position on the power switch
model, and shut off the water supply to the refrigerator .
If the temperature can drop below freezing, have a
qualified servicer drain the water supply system (on
some models) to prevent serious property damage due
to flooding .
Preparing to Move
Secure all loose items such as grille, shelves and
drawers by taping them securely in place to prevent
damage . To prevent the doors from opening while
moving, secure them to the case with tape . Be sure the
refrigerator stays in an upright position during moving .
