Behind the Refrigerator
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.
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.
When pushing the refrigerator back,
make sure you don’t roll over the power
cord or icemaker supply line (on some
models).
Under the Refrigerator
For most efficient operation, keep the
area under the refrigerator clean. Remove
the base grille and sweep away or vacuum
up dust.
For best results, use a brush specially
designed for this purpose. It is available at
most appliance parts stores.
To remove the base grille,
open both doors,
grasp the bottom of the grille and pull it out.
To replace base grille,
line up the clips on the
back of the grille with the openings in the
base plate and push the grille forward until
it snaps into place.
Clean the condenser coils at least
once a year.
Preparing for Vacation
For long vacations or absences, remove
food and unplug the refrigerator. Move the
control to the
OFF
or position, and clean
the interior with a baking soda solution of
one tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda to
one quart (1 L) of water. Leave the doors
open.
Move the icemaker feeler arm (on some
models) to the
STOP
(up) position and shut
off the water supply to the refrigerator.
If the temperature can drop below freezing,
have a qualified servicer drain the water
supply system (on some models) to prevent
serious property damage due to flooding.
Preparing to Move
Secure all loose items such as grille, shelves and drawers by taping them securely
in place to prevent damage.
Be sure the refrigerator stays in an upright position during moving.
