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.

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 tool.

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. Dry

thoroughly with a soft cloth.

NOTE: 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 the “Accessories”

section.

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.

4. Clean the condenser coils regularly. Coils may need to be

cleaned as often as every other month. This may help save

energy.

■ Pull refrigerator out away from the wall. See “Unpack the

Refrigerator.”

■ Vacuum coils when they are dusty or dirty.

■ Roll refrigerator back into place. Make sure to leave

1" (2.5 cm) between the cabinet back and the wall.

■ Check to see that the refrigerator is level.

5. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.

Changing the Light Bulbs

NOTE: Not all appliance bulbs will fit your refrigerator. Be sure to

replace the bulb with an appliance bulb of the same size, shape,

and wattage (no greater than 40 watts).

Refrigerator Light

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2. Reach behind the control panel and unscrew the bulb.

3. Replace the LED bulb or one appliance bulb MAX 40 watt.

4. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.

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.

NOTE: Raise the wire shut-off arm to Off (up) position.

4. Empty the ice bin.

If You Choose to Turn Off the Refrigerator Before You

Leave:

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, raise the wire shut-off

arm to the Off (up) position.

3. Turn off the Temperature controls. See “Using the Controls.”

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

5. 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 one day

ahead of time.

■ Disconnect the water line from the back of the

refrigerator.

■ When the last load of ice drops, raise the wire shut-off

arm to the Off (up) position.

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

in dry ice.

3. Empty the ice bin.

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

5. Unplug refrigerator.

6. Clean, wipe, and dry thoroughly.

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

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

8. 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 floor. See “Adjust the Door(s).”

9. 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.
