NOTES:

■ If unintentional contact does occur, clean plastic part with

a sponge and mild detergent in warm water. Dry thoroughly

with a soft cloth.

■ Just because a cleaner is a liquid does not mean it is

nonabrasive. Many liquid cleansers formulated to be gentle

on tile and smooth surfaces still damage stainless steel.

■ Citric acid permanently discolors stainless steel. To avoid

damaging the nish of your stainless steel refrigerator:

Do not allow these substances to remain on the nish:

✘ Mustard ✘ Citrus-based sauces

✘ Tomato juice ✘ Citrus-based products

✘ Marinara sauce

Interior Cleaning

IMPORTANT: Refrigerator shelves with under-shelf, LED lighting

are not dishwasher safe.

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.

NOTE: Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as

window sprays, scouring cleansers, ammable uids,

cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches, or

cleansers containing petroleum products on plastic parts,

interior and door liners,

or gaskets.

3. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.

Condenser Cleaning

There is no need for routine condenser cleaning in normal

home operating environments. If the environment is particularly

greasy or dusty or there is signicant pet trafc in the home,

the condenser should be cleaned every 6 months to ensure

maximum efciency.

If you need to clean the condenser, please call for service.

Lights

The lights in both the refrigerator and freezer compartments

are LEDs, which do not need to be replaced. If the lights do not

illuminate when the door or drawer is opened, call for assistance

or service. In the U.S.A., call 1-800-253-1301. In Canada, call

1-800-807-6777.

Vacation and Moving Care

Vacations

If You Choose to Leave the Refrigerator On While You’re

Away:

1. Use up any perishables and freeze other items.

2. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker and is

connected to the household water supply, turn off the water

supply to the refrigerator. Property damage can occur if the

water supply is not turned off.

3. If you have an automatic ice maker, turn off the ice maker.

■ Press the switch to Off (O) for the door ice maker.

4. Empty the ice bin.

If You Choose to Turn Off the Refrigerator Before You Leave:

NOTE: Put refrigerator in Showroom mode while on vacation.

See the “Using the Controls” section.

1. Remove all food from the refrigerator.

2. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker:

■ Turn off the water supply to the ice maker at least one day

ahead of time.

■ When the last load of ice drops, press the switch to

Off (O) for display to be unlit on the top inside of the

refrigerator, depending on your model.

3. Empty the ice bin.

4. Turn off the Temperature controls. See the “Using the

Controls” section.

5. Clean refrigerator, wipe it, and dry well.

6. Tape rubber or wood blocks to the tops of both doors to prop

them open far enough for air to get in. This stops odor and

mold from building up.

Moving

When you are moving your refrigerator to a new home, follow

these steps to prepare it for the move.

1. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker:

■ Turn off the water supply to the ice maker at least 1 day

ahead of time.

■ Disconnect the water line from the back of the refrigerator.

■ When the last load of ice drops, press the switch to

Off (O) either on the ice maker or the control, depending

on your model.

2. Remove all food from the refrigerator and pack all frozen food

in dry ice.

3. Empty the ice bin.

4. Unplug refrigerator.

5. Clean, wipe, and dry thoroughly.

6. Take out all removable parts, wrap them well, and tape them

together so they don’t shift and rattle during the move.

7. Depending on the model, raise the front of the refrigerator

so it rolls more easily or raise the leveling screws so they

don’t scrape the oor. See the “Adjust the Doors” or the

“Refrigerator Leveling and Door Closing” section.

8. Tape the doors closed, and tape the power cord to the back

of the refrigerator.

When you get to your new home, put everything back and refer

to the Installation Instructions section for preparation instructions.

Also, if your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker, remember to

reconnect the water supply to the refrigerator.
