Crisper Humidity Control
You can adjust the amount of humidity in the moisture-sealed
crisper using the settings between HIGH and LOW.
LOW (open) lets moist air out of the crisper for best storage of
fruits and vegetables with skins.

crisper. Do not wash or hull berries until they are ready to use.

■
Vegetables with skins: Place in plastic bag or plastic container
and store in crisper.
HIGH (closed) keeps moist air in the crisper for best storage of
fresh, leafy vegetables.

bruised and discolored areas. Place in plastic bag or plastic
container and store in crisper.

REFRIGERATOR CARE
Cleaning
Clean the refrigerator about once a month to keep odors from
building up. Wipe up spills immediately.
To clean your refrigerator:
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Remove all removable parts from inside, such as shelves,
crispers, etc.
3. Hand wash, rinse, and dry removable parts and interior
surfaces thoroughly. Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a
mild detergent in warm water.
■
Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window
sprays, scouring cleansers, flammable fluids, cleaning
waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches or cleansers
containing petroleum products on plastic parts, interior
and door liners or gaskets. Do not use paper towels,
scouring pads, or other harsh cleaning tools. These can
scratch or damage materials.
■
To help remove odors, you can wash interior walls with a
mixture of warm water and baking soda (2 tbs to 1 qt [26 g
to 0.95 L] of water).
4. Replace the removable parts.
5. Wash exteriors with a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild
detergent in warm water. Do not use abrasive or harsh
cleaners, or cleaners designed for stainless steel. Dry
thoroughly with a soft cloth.
6. Clean the condenser coils regularly. Coils may need to be
cleaned as often as every other month. This may help save
energy.
■
Open the refrigerator door and remove the base grille by
pulling down and out from the top.
■
Remove the defrost pan and clean it using a clean sponge
or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Hand
wash, rinse, and dry it thoroughly.

Use a vacuum with an extended attachment to clean the
condenser coils when they are dusty or dirty.

in the refrigerator panel. Push in until the base grille snaps
into place.
