However, clean both sections about once a month to avoid odor
buildup. Wipe up spills immediately.

any odors
formed in one compartment will transfer to the other. You must
thoroughly clean all compartments
to eliminate odors. To
avoid odor transfer and drying out of food, wrap or cover
foods tightly.
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 that may
scratch or damage the materials.

maximum efficiency.
To clean the condenser:
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Remove the base grille.
3. 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.
4. Replace the base grille when finished.
5. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.
NOTE: Not all appliance bulbs will fit your refrigerator. Be sure to
replace the bulb with an appliance bulb of the same size, shape,
and wattage (no greater than 40 watts).
The dispenser lights are LEDs that cannot be changed.
On some models, the interior lights are LEDs that cannot be
changed.
Some models may have LEDs in one compartment
and an
appliance bulb in another compartment.
