Broken Glass Hazard
Do not hit refrigerator glass doors.
Protect glass surface and edges during installation or
removal of doors.
Failure to do so can result in serious eye injury or
minor cuts.
Explosion Hazard
Use nonflammable cleaner.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost automatically.
However, clean both sections about once a month to avoid
buildup of odors. Wipe up spills immediately.
IMPORTANT: Because air circulates between both sections, any
odors formed in one section will transfer to the other. You must
thoroughly clean both sections to eliminate odors. To avoid odor
transfer and drying out of food, wrap or cover foods tightly.
To Clean Your Refrigerator:
NOTE: Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window
sprays, scouring cleansers, flammable fluids, cleaning waxes,

petroleum products on plastic parts, interior and door liners or
gaskets. Do not use paper towels, scouring pads, or other harsh
cleaning tools.

On some models, wash glass door panels with a clean
sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water.
NOTE: Do not hit the glass with pots, pans, furniture, toys, or
other objects. Scratching, hitting, jarring or stressing the glass
may weaken its structure, causing an increased likelihood of
breakage at a later date.
There is no need for routine condenser cleaning in normal
home operating environments. If the environment is
particularly greasy or dusty, or there is significant pet traffic in
the home, the condenser should be cleaned every 2 to
3 months to ensure maximum efficiency.
If you need to clean the condenser:
• Remove the base grille. See the "Door Removal"
instructions, either in the User Instructions or the separate
instruction sheet provided with your refrigerator.
• Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush to clean the grille,
the open areas behind the grille and the front surface area
of the condenser.
• Replace the base grille when finished.
Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.
NOTE: Not all bulbs will fit your refrigerator. Be sure to replace the
bulb with one of the same size, shape and wattage. Replacement
bulbs are available from your dealer.
