CARE AND CLEANING
Care & Cleaning Tips
Keeping the refrigerator clean maintains its appearance and prevents odor build-up. Wipe up
any spills immediately and clean the freezer and fresh food compartments at least twice a year.
NOTE
Do not use abrasive cleaners such as window sprays, scouring cleansers, flammable
fluids, cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches, or cleansers containing
petroleum products on plastic parts, interior doors, gaskets, or cabinet liners. Do
not use scouring pads or other abrasive cleaning materials.
•
Never use metallic scouring pads, brushes, abrasive cleaners, or strong alkaline
solutions on any surface.
•
Never use CHLORIDE or cleaners with bleach to clean stainless steel.
•
Do not wash any removable parts in a dishwasher.
NOTE
When setting temperature controls to turn off cooling, power to lights and other electrical
components will continue until the power cord is unplugged from the wall outlet.
•
Always unplug the electrical power cord from the wall outlet before cleaning.
•
Remove adhesive labels by hand. Do not use razor blades or other sharp
instruments which can scratch the appliance surface.
•
Do not remove the serial plate. Removal of the serial plate voids the warranty.
•
Before moving refrigerator, raise the anti-tip brackets so the rollers will work
correctly. This will prevent the floor from being damaged.
Refer to the guide on the next page for details on caring and cleaning specific areas of refrigerator.
CAUTION
• Pull the refrigerator straight out to move it. Shifting it from side to side may damage
flooring. Be careful not to move the refrigerator beyond the plumbing connections.
• Damp objects stick to cold metal surfaces. Do not touch refrigerated surfaces
with wet or damp hands.
IMPORTANT
When storing or moving refrigerator in freezing temperatures, be sure to completely drain
the water supply system. Failure to do so could result in water leaks when the refrigerator
is put back into service. Contact a service representative to perform this operation.
