REFRIGERATOR CARE
Cleaning
Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost automatically.
However, clean both sections about once a month to prevent
odors from building up. Wipe up spills immediately.
Cleaning 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 .95 L] of water).
4. 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. For additional protection against 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 looking like
new and to remove minor scuffs or marks, it is suggested that
you use the manufacturer’s approved Stainless Steel Cleaner
& Polish.
IMPORTANT: This cleaner is for Stainless Steel parts only!
Do not allow the Stainless Steel Cleaner & Polish to come into
contact with any plastic parts such as the trim pieces,
dispenser covers or door gaskets. If accidental contact does
occur, clean plastic part with a sponge and mild detergent in
warm water. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. To order the
cleaner, see the “Accessories” section.
5. There is no need for routine condenser cleaning in normal
home operating environments. If the environment is
particularly greasy or dusty, or there is significant pet traffic in
the home, the condenser should be cleaned every two to
three months to ensure maximum efficiency.
If you need to clean the condenser:
■
Remove the base grille (see “Base Grille” or “Door
Removal” section).
■
Use a vacuum with a soft brush to clean the grille, the
open areas behind the grille and the front surface area of
the condenser.
■
Replace the base grille when finished.
6. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.
Changing the Light Bulbs
NOTE: Not all appliance bulbs will fit your refrigerator. Be sure to
replace the bulb with one of the same size, shape, and wattage.
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Remove the bulb from behind the control panel in the
refrigerator or from behind the light shield in the freezer (on
some models). Replace it with an appliance bulb of the same
wattage.
3. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.
Power Interruptions
If the power will be out for 24 hours or less, keep both refrigerator
doors closed to help food stay cold and frozen.
If the power will be out for more than 24 hours, do one of the
following:
■
Remove all frozen food and store it in a frozen food locker.
■
Place 2 lbs. (907 g) of dry ice in the freezer for every cubic
foot (28 L) of freezer space. This will keep the food frozen for
two to four days.
■
If neither a food locker nor dry ice is available, consume or
can perishable food at once.
REMEMBER: A full freezer stays cold longer than a partially filled
one. A freezer full of meat stays cold longer than a freezer full of
baked goods. If you see that food contains ice crystals, it may be
refrozen, although the quality and flavor may be affected. If the
condition of the food is poor, dispose of it.
Explosion Hazard
Use nonflammable cleaner.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion,
or fire.
