Care and Cleaning
Cleaning the Outside
The stainless steel panels, door handles and
trim.
Do not use appliance wax, polish, bleach, or other
products containing chlorine on stainless steel.
Stainless steel can be cleaned with a commercially
available stainless steel cleaner. A spray-on stainless
steel cleaner works best.
Cleaning the Inside
Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning.
If this is not practical, wring excess moisture out of
sponge or cloth when cleaning around switches, lights or
controls.
Use an appliance wax polish on the inside surface
between the doors.
Use warm water and baking soda solution—about a
tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda to a quart (1 liter) of
water. This both cleans and neutralizes odors. Rinse and
wipe dry.
Behind the Refrigerator
Be careful when moving the refrigerator away from
the wall. All types of floor coverings can be damaged,
particularly cushioned coverings and those with
embossed surfaces.
Raise the leveling legs located at the bottom front of the
refrigerator.
Preparing for Vacation
For long vacations or absences, remove food and
unplug the refrigerator. Clean the interior with a baking
soda solution of one tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda
to one quart (1 liter) of water. Leave the doors open.
If the temperature can drop below freezing, have a
qualified service technician drain the water supply
system to prevent serious property damage due to
flooding.
1) Turn refrigerator off (pages 6 and 7) or unplug the
refrigerator.
Preparing to Move
Secure all loose items such as shelves and drawers by
taping them securely in place to prevent damage.
When using a hand truck to move the refrigerator, do not
rest the front or back of the refrigerator against the hand
truck. This could damage the refrigerator.

Silver-accented plastic parts.
Wash parts with soap or other mild detergents. Wipe
clean with a sponge, damp cloth or paper towel.
Do not use scouring pads, powdered cleaners, bleach or
cleaners containing bleach because these products can
scratch and weaken the paint finish.
Should spill tray need cleaning use lime remover.
CAUTION
Do not clean glass shelves or covers
with warm water when they are cold. Glass shelves and
covers may break if exposed to sudden temperature
changes or impact such as bumping or dropping.
Tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small
pieces if it breaks.
Pull the refrigerator straight out and return it to position
by pushing it straight in. Moving the refrigerator in a side
direction may result in damage to the floor covering or
refrigerator.
Lower the leveling legs until they touch the floor.
When pushing the refrigerator back, make sure you
don't roll over the power cord or water supply line.
2) Empty ice bucket
3) Turn water supply off
If you cut the water supply off, turn off the icemaker
(pg. 13).
Upon returning from vacation:
1) Replace the water filter.
2) Run 2 gallons of water through the cold water
dispenser (about 5 minutes) to flush the system.
Handle only from the sides of the refrigerator.
Be sure the refrigerator stays in an upright position
during moving.
