Cleaning
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.
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Use nonflammable cleaner.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
To Clean Your Refrigerator:
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.
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.
3. Wash stainless steel and painted metal exteriors with a clean sponge or
soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water.
4. 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.
• 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.

replace the bulb with an appliance bulb of the same size, shape, and
wattage (no greater than 40 watts).

• Top of the refrigerator compartment—squeeze both sides of the
light shield while pulling downward to remove.
• Beneath ice storage enclosure—press along upper edge of light
shield and roll light shield forward to remove.
3. Replace burned-out bulb(s) with appliance light bulb(s) no greater
than 40 watts.

the liner holes and snap into place.

beyond the locking point.
