Protecting Your investment

and prevents odor build-up. Wipe up any spills
immediately and clean the freezer and fresh food
compartments at least twice a year. When cleaning, take
the following precautions:
° Never use CHLORIDE or cleaners with bleach to clean
stainless steek
° Do not wash any removable parts in a dishwasher.
° 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.
Do not use abrasive cleaners such as window sprays,
scouring cleansers, brushes, flammable fluids, cleaning
waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches or cleansers
containing petroleum products on plastic parts, interior
doors, gaskets or cabinet liners. Do not use paper towels,
metallic scouring pads, or other abrasive cleaning
materials or strong alkaline solutions.
NOTE
If you set your temperature controls to turn off cooling, power
to lights and other electrical components will continue until
you unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
_ CAUTION
* Puff 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 plumblng

touch refrigerated surfaces with wet or damp hands.

when the refrigerator is put back into service. Contact a
service representative to perform this operation.
