26.3 Cu. Ft. Side-by-Side Refrigerator
Maintaining your refrigerator
Your refrigerator is designed for year-round use with only minimal cleaning and maintenance.
When you first receive it, wipe the cabinet with a mild detergent and warm water, then wipe dry with a dry cloth. Do this
periodically to keep your refrigerator looking new.
Removing the fruit and vegetable crisper drawers
The fruit and vegetable crisper drawers are designed to store fruits and vegetables. Putting fruits and vegetables inside the
drawers prevents moisture loss and flavor from getting into other foods.
1
Open the refrigerator door all the way.
2
Pull the drawer completely open and move the front of the drawer slightly upward, then lift the drawer up and pull it
out of your refrigerator.
Cleaning your refrigerator
We recommend that you do the following every time you clean your refrigerator to keep it running odor-free and
efficiently:
1
Unplug your refrigerator from the power outlet.
2
Remove all food.
3
Clean the doors, handles, and cabinet surfaces with a mild detergent, then rinse with warm water using a wrung-out
sponge or cloth.
4
Wash the inside with a damp warm cloth soaked in a solution of one quart of lukewarm water to two tablespoons of
baking soda solution, then rinse with warm water using a wrung-out sponge or cloth.
5
Clean the trays, shelves, and drawers with a mild detergent and soft cloth, then rinse with warm water.
6
Make sure that you keep the door gaskets (seals) clean so that the door seals tightly. This helps your refrigerator run
efficiently.
7
Dry all surfaces and removable parts before putting them back into place.
8
Move your refrigerator out from the wall to clean dust from behind and under the refrigerator to promote efficient
cooling and energy savings. Move it back when finished.
9
Plug your refrigerator into the power outlet.
Cleaning the door trays
Clean the trays by washing in warm water with mild detergent, then drying them thoroughly. See Using the door trays on
page 21 for information on removing and replacing trays.
CAUTIONS:
To prevent damage to the finish:
• Do not use gasoline, benzine, thinner, or other similar solvents.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners.
• Do not use sharp objects because they are likely to scratch the surface.
CAUTION:
Make sure that the door gaskets are completely dry before you plug your refrigerator into the power outlet.
