CARE AND CLEANING
CLEANING
The drawers defrost automatically. However, clean both
drawers about once a month to avoid buildup of odors.
Wipe up spills immediately.
TO CLEAN YOUR DRAWERS:
1.
Unplug drawer or disconnect power.
2.
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 drawer
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).
3.
Wash stainless steel and painted metal exteriors with
a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in
warm water. Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners.
Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. To avoid damage to
painted metal exteriors, apply appliance wax (or auto
paste wax) with a clean, soft cloth. Do not wax plastic
parts.
NOTE:
To keep your Stainless Steel refrigerator
drawers looking like new and to remove minor
scuffs or marks, it is suggested that you use the
manufacturer’s approved Stainless Steel Cleaner and
Polish. To order the cleaner, see “Accessories.”
IMPORTANT:
This cleaner is for stainless steel parts only!
Do not allow the Stainless Steel Cleaner and
Polish to come into contact with any plastic parts
such as the trim pieces or drawer gaskets. If
unintended contact does occur, clean plastic part
with a sponge and mild detergent in warm water.
Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
CHANGING THE WATER FILTER
The water filter is located through the base grille. You do
not have to remove the base grille in order to change the
water filter.
1.
Locate the water filter cap in the front base grille.
Rotate the cap counterclockwise to a vertical position
and pull the cap and water filter out through the base
grille.
NOTE:
There will be water in the filter. Some spilling may
occur.
2.
Remove the filter cap by sliding it off the end of the
old filter. The cap will slide to the left or right.
IMPORTANT:
Do not discard the cap. It is part of your
refrigerator drawer. Keep the cap to use with the
replacement filter.
3.
Take the new water filter out of its packaging and
remove the cover from the O-rings.
4.
Slide the filter cap onto the new water filter. See the
illustration in Step 2.
5.
With the filter cap in the vertical position, insert the
new filter into the base grille until it stops. Rotate the
cartridge cap clockwise to a horizontal position.
POWER INTERRUPTIONS
If the power will be out for 24 hours or less, keep both
refrigerator drawers closed to help food stay cold.
If the power will be out for more than 24 hours, do one of
the following:
Place all perishable food in a food locker or cooler
with dry ice.
If neither a food locker or cooler is available, consume
food if still cold or throw away perishable food at
once.
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Use nonflammable cleaner.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
