Care and Cleaning
Stainless Steel 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.
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.
Set the icemaker power switch to the
O
(off)
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 to prevent serious property damage due
to flooding.
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.
