Care And Cleaning; General Cleaning Tips; Outside; Inside Walls - Kenmore 795.7130-K Use & Care Manual

Explosion Hazard
Use non-flammable cleaner.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
PLASTIC PARTS (covers and panels)
Do not use windows sprays, abrasive cleaners, or
flammable fluids. These can scratch or damage the
material. Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild
detergent in warm water. Wash, rinse and dry all
surfaces thoroughly.
CONDENSER COILS
Remove grille base.
Use a vacuum cleaner with an extended attachment to
clean condenser coils.
Vacuum coils when dusty or dirty. Coils may need to be
cleaned as often as every other month.
Replace grille base.
BACK COVER
Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost
automatically. However, clean both sections about once a
month to prevent odors. Wipe up spills immediately.
GENERAL CLEANING TIPS
• Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
• Remove all removable parts, such as shelves, crispers,
etc.
• Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in
warm water. Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners.
• Hand wash, rinse and dry all surfaces thoroughly.
• Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.
OUTSIDE
Waxing external painted metal surfaces helps provide rust
protection. Do not wax plastic parts. Wax painted metal
surfaces at least twice a year using appliance wax (or auto
paste wax). Apply wax with a clean, soft cloth.
For products with a stainless steel exterior, use 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.
Note: Avoid door surface contact with chemical products
that contain Phosphate or Chlorine.
INSIDE WALLS (allow freezer to warm up so
cloth will not stick)
To help remove odors, you can wash the inside of the
refrigerator with a mixture of baking soda and warm water.
Mix 2 tablespoons baking soda to 1 quart of water (26 g
soda to 1 liter water). Be sure the baking soda is
completely dissolved so does it not scratch the surfaces of
the refrigerator.
DOOR LINERS AND GASKETS
Do not use cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents,
bleaches, or cleaners containing petroleum plastic parts.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Before you begin, either unplug the refrigerator or
turn off power at the circuit breaker or fuse box.
Failure to do so could result in death or serious injury.
NOTE: Back cover should only be removed by a
qualified technician.
Clean the vents on the
back cover. Use a vacuum
cleaner with the brush
attachment, at least twice a
year to keep your
refrigerator working
efficiently.
BACK COVER
LIGHT BULB REPLACEMENT
Electrical Shock Hazard
Before replacing a burned-out light bulb, either unplug
the refrigerator or turn off power at the circuit breaker
or fuse box.

does not remove power to the light circuit.

sure to replace the bulb with a maximum rating of 60 watts
and is the same size and shape.
NOTE: The light bulbs will turn off if door is left open for
seven continuous minutes. Shutting door for one second
will make light bulbs come back on.
To change the refrigerator light:
1. Unplug the power cord from the outlet.
2. Remove refrigerator shelves.
3. Release the hooks on the front of the light shield
with the help of a flat screwdriver and pull the
shield down to remove it.
