CARE AND CLEANING
Protecting your investment
Keeping your refrigerator clean maintains
appearance and prevents odor build-up.
Wipe up any spills immediately and clean
the freezer and refrigerator compartments
at least twice a year. When cleaning, take
the following precautions:
• Never use CHLORIDE or cleaners with
bleach to clean stainless steel.
• Do not wash any removable parts in
a dishwasher.
• Always unplug the electrical power cord
from the wall outlet before cleaning.
• Remove adhesive labels by hand. Do
not use razor blades or other sharp
instruments which can scratch the
appliance surface.
• Do not remove the serial plate.
Do not use abrasive cleaners such as win-
dow sprays, scouring cleansers, brushes,
flammable fluids, cleaning waxes, concen-
trated detergents, bleaches or cleansers
containing petroleum products on plastic
parts, interior doors, gaskets or cabinet
liners. Do not use paper towels, metallic
scouring pads, or other abrasive cleaning
materials or strong alkaline solutions.
CAUTION
Pull the refrigerator straight out to
move it. Shifting it from side to side may
damage flooring. Be careful not to
move the refrigerator beyond the
plumbing connections.
NOTE
If you set your temperature controls
to turn off cooling, power to lights and
other electrical components will contin-
ue until you unplug the power cord from
the wall outlet.
IMPORTANT
If you store or move your refrigerator in
freezing temperatures, be sure to com-
pletely drain the water supply system.
Failure to do so could result in water
leaks when the refrigerator is put back
into service. Contact a service represen-
tative to perform this operation.
