Important information to know about glass shelves and
covers:
Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when
they are cold. Shelves and covers may break if exposed to
sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping.
For your protection, tempered glass is designed to shatter into
many small, pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass shelves
and covers are heavy. Use special care when removing them to
avoid impact from dropping.
1. Remove all food and turn the refrigerator OFF.
2. Disconnect power to the refrigerator.
3. Clean the walls, floor, ceiling of cabinet interior, drawers,
shelves and gaskets according to the instructions on page
12.
4. Dilute mild detergent and brush solution into crevices using a
plastic bristle brush. Let stand for 5 minutes. Rinse surfaces
with warm water. Dry surfaces with a soft, clean cloth.
5. Wash and dry all bottles, containers and jars. Discard spoiled
or expired items.
6. Wrap or store odor-causing foods in tightly sealed containers
to prevent recurring odors.
7. Reconnect power to refrigerator and return food to refrig-
erator.
8. Allow the refrigerator to cool.
9. After 24 hours, check if odor has been eliminated.
If odor is still present:
1. Remove drawers and place on top shelf of refrigerator.
2. Pack refrigerator and freezer sections – including doors –
with crumpled sheets of black and white newspaper.
3. Place charcoal briquettes randomly on crumpled newspaper
in both freezer and refrigerator compartments.
4. Close doors and let stand 24 to 48 hours.

• Avoid overcrowding refrigerator shelves. Overcrowding
reduces air circulation around food and causes refrigerator to
run longer.
• Avoid adding too much warm food to refrigerator at one time.
This overloads compartments and slows rate of cooling.
• Do not use aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling as
shelf liners. This decreases air flow and causes refrigerator to
run less efficiently.
• A freezer that is two-thirds full runs most efficiently.
• Locate refrigerator in coolest part of room. Avoid areas of
direct sunlight, or near heating ducts, registers or other heat
producing appliances. If this is not possible, isolate exterior
by using a section of cabinet or an added layer of insulation.
• Clean door gaskets every three months according to cleaning
instructions. This will assure that the door seals properly and
refrigerator runs efficiently.
• Take time to organize items in refrigerator to reduce time that
door is open.
• Be sure your doors are closing securely by leveling refrig -
erator as instructed in your installation instructions.
• Clean condenser coils as indicated in the cleaning instruc -
tions every three months. This will increase energy efficiency
and cooling performance.
