Cleaning

WARNING

Flammable Refrigerant Used.
Do Not Use Mechanical Devices to Defrost Refrigerator.
Do Not Puncture Refrigerant Tubing.
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.
NOTE: Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window
sprays, scouring cleansers, flammable fluids, cleaning waxes,
concentrated detergents, bleaches or cleansers containing
petroleum products on plastic parts, interior, and door liners or
gaskets. Do not use paper towels, scouring pads, or other harsh
cleaning tools. Stainless steel models have a coating. Do Not use
regular stainless steel cleaning products. Do Not use stainless
steel cleaner or polish and use only mild soap, water, and soft
microfiber cloth to avoid damage to the stainless steel protective
coating. Paper towels scratch and may dull the clear coat of the
painted door. To avoid possible damage, use only clean cloths to
polish and wipe the door.
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Hand-wash, rinse, and dry removable parts and interior
surfaces thoroughly. Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a
mild detergent in warm water.

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 Owner's Manual or in 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.
5. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.
