Cleaning

WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Use nonflammable cleaner.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
The drawers defrost automatically. However, clean both drawers
about once a month to avoid buildup of odors. Wipe up spills
immediately.
To clean your refrigerator drawers:
1. Hand wash, rinse, and dry interior surfaces thoroughly. Use a
clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm
water.
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 drawer liners or gaskets. Do not use paper towels,
scouring pads, or other harsh cleaning tools. These can
scratch or damage materials.
To help remove odors, you can wash interior walls with a
mixture of warm water and baking soda (2 tbs to 1 qt
[26 g to 0.95 L] of water).
2. Wash stainless steel and painted metal exteriors with 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. To avoid damage to painted metal exteriors, apply
appliance wax (or auto paste wax) with a clean, soft cloth. Do
not wax plastic parts.
NOTE: To keep your Stainless Steel refrigerator drawers
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
"Accessories."

REFRIGERATOR DRAWERS CARE

Using the Ice Maker Without the Water Filter
You can run the ice maker without a water filter. Your water will
not be filtered.
1. Slide the filter cap off the end of the water filter. With the filter
cap in the horizontal position, insert the cap into the base
grille until it stops.
IMPORTANT: Do not discard the cap. It is part of your
refrigerator. Keep the cap to use with a replacement filter.
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 or
drawer gaskets. If unintended contact does occur, clean
plastic part with a sponge and mild detergent in warm water.
Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.

Power Interruptions

If the power will be out for 24 hours or less, keep both refrigerator
drawers closed to help food stay cold.
If the power will be out for more than 24 hours, do one of the
following:
Place all perishable food in a food locker or cooler with dry
ice.
If neither a food locker or cooler is available, consume food if
still cold or throw away perishable food at once.

Vacation Care

Your refrigerator drawers are equipped with the Sabbath Mode
feature. By selecting this feature, the temperature set points
remain unchanged, but the control panel and interior lights will
turn off. For most efficient refrigerator drawers operation, it is
recommended to exit the Sabbath Mode when it is no longer
required.
If you choose to leave the refrigerator drawers on while
you're away:
1. Use up any perishables and freeze other items.
2. Press and hold SABBATH for 3 seconds. After countdown,
the display and lights will turn off but the refrigerator
continues with normal operation.
3. When you return from vacation, press and hold SABBATH for
3 seconds to return to normal operation.
If you choose to turn the refrigerator drawers off
before you leave:
1. Remove all food from the refrigerator drawers.
2. Turn Off the Control Panel for the Upper and the Lower
drawers. See "Using the Controls."
3. Clean refrigerator drawers, wipe and dry them well.
4. Tape rubber or wood blocks to the tops of both drawers to
prop them open far enough for air to get in. This stops odor
and mold from building up.
