4. Wash stainless steel and painted metal exteriors with a clean
sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Do
not use abrasive or harsh cleaners, or cleaners containing
chlorine. These can scratch or damage materials. Dry
thoroughly with a soft cloth.
NOTE: 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. Replace the removable parts.
6. Clean the condenser coils regularly. They are located behind
the base grille. Coils may need to be cleaned as often as
every other month. This may help save energy.
■ Remove the base grille. See "Base Grille."
■
Use a vacuum cleaner with an extended attachment to
clean the condenser coils when they are dusty or dirty.
■ Replace the base grille.
7. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.

1. Remove all food from the refrigerator.

the "Installation Instructions" section for preparation instructions.
