Care and Cleaning
Protecting your investment
Keeping your refrigerator clean maintains its appearance and prevents odor build-up. Wipe up any spills
immediately and clean the freezer and fresh food compartments at least twice a year.
• Remove adhesive labels by hand. Do not use razor blades or other sharp instruments which can scratch the
appliance surface.
• Do not remove the serial plate. Removal of your serial plate voids your warranty.
• Before moving your refrigerator, raise the anti-tip brackets so the rollers will work correctly. This will prevent
the floor from being damaged.
Refer to the guide on the next page for details on caring and cleaning specific areas of your refrigerator.
• Never use metallic scouring pads, brushes, abrasive cleaners, or strong alkaline solutions on any surface.
• Never use CHLORIDe or cleaners with bleach to clean stainless steel.
• Do not wash any removable parts in a dishwasher.
• Always unplug the electrical power cord from the wall outlet before cleaning.
IMPORTANT
If you store or move your refrigerator in freezing temperatures, be sure to completely drain the water supply
system. Failure to do so could result in water leaks when the refrigerator is put back into service. Contact a
service representative to perform this operation.
CAUTION
• Pull the refrigerator straight out to move it. Shifting it from side to side may damage flooring. Be
careful not to move the refrigerator beyond the plumbing connections.
• Damp objects stick to cold metal surfaces. Do not touch refrigerated surfaces with wet or damp hands.
NOTE
If you set your temperature controls to turn off cooling, power to lights and other electrical components will
continue until you unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
NOTE
Do not use abrasive cleaners such as window sprays, scouring cleansers, flammable fluids, cleaning waxes,
concentrated detergents, bleaches, or cleansers containing petroleum products on plastic parts, interior doors,
gaskets, or cabinet liners. Do not use paper towels, scouring pads, or other abrasive cleaning materials.
