WX10X15.
Do not use appliance wax or polish on the
stainless steel.
Silver-accented plastic parts
should be washed
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.
Cleaning
the outside
To help prevent odors,
leave an open box
of baking soda in the fresh food and freezer
compartments.
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.

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.
Use of any cleaning solution other than that
which is recommended, especially those that
contain petroleum distillates, can crack or
damage the interior of the refrigerator.
Do not wash any plastic refrigerator parts in
the dishwasher.
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.

PRECAUCIÓN
No limpie estantes de vidrio ni
tapas con agua caliente cuando estén fríos.
Los
estantes de vidrio y las tapas se pueden romper
si son expuestos a cambios de temperatura
repentinos o impactos, tales como sacudones
o caídas. El vidrio templado está diseñado para
destruirse en pequeñas piezas en caso de rotura.
Cleaning
the inside
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.
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 icemaker
supply line.
Behind the
refrigerator
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 (pg. 7) or unplug the
refrigerator.
2) Empty ice bucket
3) Turn water supply off
If you cut the water supply off, turn off the ice
maker (pg. 18).
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.
Preparing
for vacation
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. Handle only from the
sides of the refrigerator.
Be sure the refrigerator stays in an upright
position during moving.
