PREPARING FOR VACATION
For long vacations or absences, remove food from the unit.
Adjust the temperature up
(+)
until the unit turns off. 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 door open.
For shorter vacations
, remove perishable foods and
leave the control at the regular setting. However, if the
room temperature is expected to drop below 60°F (16°C),
follow the same instructions as for extended vacations.
Turn off the icemaker at the control panel.
INTERIOR LIGHT REPLACEMENT
Do not try to replace a burned-out LED light.
An authorized technician will need to replace the LED lights.
CLEANING OUTSIDE
Door handles and trim
—Clean with a cloth dampened
with soapy water. Dry with a soft cloth.
Keep the outside clean.
Wipe with a clean cloth lightly
dampened with mild liquid dish detergent. Dry with a clean,
soft cloth.
Do not wipe the unit with a soiled dish cloth or wet towel.
These may leave a residue that can damage the finish.
Do not use scouring pads, powdered cleaners, bleach or
cleaners containing bleach because these products can
scratch and damage the finish.
Stainless steel
— The stainless steel doors and door
handles (on some models) can be cleaned with a
commercially available stainless steel cleaner. Cleaners
with oxalic acid such as Bar Keepers Friend Soft
Cleanser™ will remove surface rust, tarnish, and small
blemishes. Use only a liquid cleaner free of grit and rub in
the direction of the brush lines with a damp soft sponge.
Do not use appliance wax or polish on the stainless steel.
Custom Wood Panels
- please contact your custom panel
supplier for direction on cleaning and care.
CARE AND CLEANING
CLEANING INSIDE
Turn off power at the circuit breaker or fuse box before
cleaning.
If this is not practical, wring excess moisture out
of sponge or cloth when cleaning around switches, lights
or controls.
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. Thoroughly
rinse and wipe dry.
If this is not practical, remove excess moisture from
sponge or cloth when cleaning around switches, lights, and
controls.
Other parts of the refrigerator —
including door gaskets,
vegetable drawer, ice storage bins and all plastic parts—
can be cleaned the same way. After cleaning the door
gaskets, apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly to the door
gaskets at the hinge side. This helps keep the gaskets
from sticking and bending out of shape.
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.
Do not wash any plastic parts in the dishwasher.
