Drop-in Door Rails
The door rails may be removed for easier cleaning.

Remove all items from the shelf and pull straight up on each
end of the rails.

Locate each end of the rail above the rail’s pocket opening,
and push the rail straight down until it stops.
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.
To clean 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.
