FREEZER STORAGE
Your new refrigerator offers the flexibility of either drawer or
shelf storage for your freezer storage needs. Remove any freezer
drawer to use the shelf underneath.
1. To Remove a Drawer:
2. Pull out the drawer as far as possible.
3. Tilt the drawer upward to remove.
Store the drawer, for future use, in a location where it will not be
damaged.
REFRIGERATOR CARE
CLEANING
Clean both the freezer and refrigerator compartments about
once a month to avoid buildup of odors. Wipe up spills immedi-
ately.

WARNING
EXPLOSION HAZARD
USE NONFLAMMABLE CLEANER.
FAILURE TO DO SO CAN RESULT IN DEATH, EXPLOSION OR
FIRE.
IMPORTANT:
• Do not use harsh chemicals, ammonia, chlorine bleach, con-
centrated detergent, solvents, abrasives or metal scouring pads
to clean your refrigerator inside or out. They can damage and/or
discolor the refrigerator finish.
• Do not use warm water to clean glass shelves while they are
still cold. Glass may break when exposed to sudden tempera-
ture changes or impact.
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Using a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent
dissolved in warm water, wash removable parts and the
interior surfaces. Rinse well and dry thoroughly.
3. Clean the exterior surfaces.
Painted metal:
Wash painted metal exteriors with a clean,
soft cloth or sponge and a mild detergent in warm water.
Rinse surfaces with clean, warm water and dry immediately
to avoid water spots.
Stainless steel:
Stainless steel is corrosion resistant and
not corrosion-proof. To help avoid corrosion of your stain-
less steel, wash stainless steel surfaces with a clean, soft
cloth or sponge and a mild detergent in warm water. Rinse
surfaces with clean, warm water and dry immediately to
avoid water spots.
NOTE:
When cleaning stainless steel, always wipe in the
direction of the grain to avoid cross-grain scratching.
4. Clean the condenser at least once a year. Using a vacuum
cleaner, remove the dust that has accumulated on the
condenser.
NOTE:
The condenser is located at the back of the refriger-
ator.
5. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.
DEFROSTING
The refrigerator and freezer compartments defrost automatical-
ly. A small amount of frost buildup on the Fresh Food Cold Wall
is normal. If the amount of frost becomes excessive, you may
need to raise the temperature by adjusting the Temperature
Control dial to a lower setting (less cold). See “Control.”
The defrost water goes through a collection channel and into
the drain tube which is attached to the drain tray at the back of
the refrigerator. To avoid water spilling onto the floor, it is im-
portant to make sure the end of the drain tube is inserted fully
into the drain tray.
If the defrost water does not drain from the collection channel,
check that the drain tube is clear. The drain tube can be cleared
with a pipe cleaner or by pushing the plastic plunger (provided)
down the drain tube.
During defrosting, water droplets may form at the back of the
refrigerator compartment where a concealed evaporators lo-
cated. Some moisture will remain on the Fresh Food Cold Wall
(rear wall) and refreeze when defrosting is completed. Do not
use pointed or sharp-edged objects such as knives or forks to
remove the frozen droplets.
