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.
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.
NOTE: Not all appliance bulbs will fit your refrigerator. Be sure to
replace the bulb with one of the same size and shape. The
dispenser lights are LEDs that cannot be changed. All other lights
require a 40-watt bulb. Replacement bulbs are available from
your dealer.
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Remove light shield when applicable as shown.
NOTE: To clean the light shield, wash it with warm water and
liquid detergent. Rinse and dry the shield well.
3. Remove light bulb and replace with one of the same size,
shape and wattage.
4. Replace light shield when applicable as shown.
5. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.
Refrigerator Control Panel Light
Reach behind the refrigerator control panel to remove and
replace light bulb.
Crisper Lights
• If necessary, remove the top crisper drawer for easier access
to the crisper light shield. Remove the light shield by
squeezing the top and bottom in toward the center and
pulling the bottom tabs out of the refrigerator liner, then
sliding the top tabs down and out.
• Replace the light shield by sliding the top tabs up into the
slotted holes in the refrigerator liner, then snapping the
bottom tabs into place. If necessary, replace the top crisper
drawer.
Upper Freezer Light
• Remove the light shield by squeezing the sides of the light
shield in toward the center while pulling the shield forward as
shown.
• Replace the light shield by fitting the tabs into the slotted
holes in the freezer liner. Push in the shield until it snaps into
place.
Lower Freezer Light Behind Top Freezer Basket
(on some models)
Depending on your model, remove the top freezer basket or
top freezer basket shelf. Remove light shield by removing the
Phillips screw on the top of the shield. Gently rotate the shield
until the left tab can be gently pulled from the freezer wall.
Replace the light shield by inserting the left tab into the
freezer wall. Align top tab with screw hole and replace screw.
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.
