CARE AND CLEANING

CLEANING

The drawers defrost automatically. However, clean both 

drawers about once a month to avoid buildup of odors. 

Wipe up spills immediately.
TO CLEAN YOUR DRAWERS:

1. 

Unplug drawer 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.

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).

3. 

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.” 
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.

CHANGING THE WATER FILTER

The water filter is located through the base grille. You do 

not have to remove the base grille in order to change the 

water filter.

1. 

Locate the water filter cap in the front base grille. 

Rotate the cap counterclockwise to a vertical position 

and pull the cap and water filter out through the base 

grille.

NOTE: There will be water in the filter. Some spilling may 

occur.

2. 

Remove the filter cap by sliding it off the end of the 

old filter. The cap will slide to the left or right.

IMPORTANT: Do not discard the cap. It is part of your 

refrigerator drawer. Keep the cap to use with the 

replacement filter.

3. 

Take the new water filter out of its packaging and 

remove the cover from the O-rings.

4. 

Slide the filter cap onto the new water filter. See the 

illustration in Step 2.

5. 

With the filter cap in the vertical position, insert the 

new filter into the base grille until it stops. Rotate the 

cartridge cap clockwise to a horizontal position.

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.

WARNING

Explosion Hazard

Use nonflammable cleaner.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
