(stainless look) finish: Wash with a clean
sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Do
not use abrasive or harsh cleaners, or cleaners designed for
stainless steel. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
Stainless steel finish: Wash with a clean sponge or soft cloth
and a mild detergent in warm water. Do not use abrasive or
harsh cleaners. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
To keep your stainless steel refrigerator looking like new
and to remove minor scuffs or marks, it is suggested that
you use the manufacturer's approved Stainless Steel
Cleaner and Polish. To order the cleaner, see
"Accessories."
IMPORTANT: This cleaner is for stainless steel parts only!
Do not allow the Stainless Steel Cleaner and Polish to
come into contact with any plastic parts such as the trim
pieces, dispenser covers or door gaskets. If unintentional
contact does occur, clean plastic part with a sponge and
mild detergent in warm water. Dry thoroughly with a soft
cloth.
5. If your model has a touch screen display on the dispenser
panel, clean the screen using a soft, lint-free cloth. Mix a
mild detergent with water, then use the mixture to dampen
the cloth and gently wipe the screen.
• To avoid unintentionally changing settings, make sure the
refrigerator is unplugged or the power is disconnected
before wiping the screen.
• Do not over-saturate the cloth. Do not spray or wipe
liquids directly onto the screen. Do not use abrasive or
harsh cleaners such as window sprays, scouring
cleansers, flammable fluids, cleaning waxes,
concentrated detergents, nail polish remover, bleaches
or cleansers containing petroleum products. Do not use
paper towels, scouring pads, or other harsh cleaning
tools. These can scratch or damage materials.
6. 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 "Base Grille" graphic or
"Base Grille" section.
• 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.
The interior and dispenser lights are LEDs that cannot be
changed.
• If the dispenser lights do not appear to be working as
described in "Water and Ice Dispensers" (in the User
Instructions, User Guide, or Use & Care Guide) or if the
interior lights do not illuminate when either door is opened,
call for assistance or service. See either the front cover or
the Warranty for contact information.
If the power will be out for 24 hours or less, keep the door or
doors closed (depending on your model) to help food stay cold
and frozen.
If the power will be out for more than 24 hours, do one of the
following:
• Remove all frozen food and store it in a frozen food locker.
Place 2 Ibs (907 g) of dry ice in the freezer for every cubic
foot (28 L) of freezer space. This will keep the food frozen
for 2 to 4 days.
If neither a food locker nor dry ice is available, consume or
can perishable food at once.
REMEMBER: A full freezer stays cold longer than a partially
filled one. A freezer full of meat stays cold longer than a freezer
full of baked goods. If you see that food contains ice crystals, it
may be refrozen, although the quality and flavor may be
affected. If the condition of the food is poor, dispose of it.
Vacations
If You Choose to Leave Refrigerator On While You Are Away:
1. Use up any perishables and freeze other items.
2. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker and is
connected to the household water supply, turn off the water
supply to the refrigerator. Property damage can occur if the
water supply is not turned off.
3. If you have an automatic ice maker, turn off the ice maker.
NOTE: Depending on your model, raise the wire shutoff arm
to OFF (up) position or press the switch to OFF.
4. Empty the ice bin.
If You Choose to Turn Refrigerator Off Before You Leave:
1. Remove all food from the refrigerator.
2. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker:
• Turn off the water supply to the ice maker at least one
day ahead of time.
• When the last load of ice drops, raise the wire shutoff
arm to the OFF (up) position or move the switch to the
OFF (right) setting.
3. Depending on the model, turn the Refrigerator Control to
OFF or turn cooling off. See "Using the Controls" in the User
Instructions, User Guide, or Use & Care Guide.
4. Clean refrigerator, wipe it, and dry well.
5. Tape rubber or wood blocks to the tops of both doors to
prop them open far enough for air to get in. This stops odor
and mold from building up.
