Care and cleaning of the refrigerator.

Cleaning the Outside

The door handles and trim (on some models). Clean with a

cloth dampened with soapy water. Dry with a soft cloth.

Keep the outside clean. Wipe with a clean cloth lightly

dampened with kitchen appliance wax or mild liquid dish

detergent. Dry and polish with a clean, soft cloth.

Do not wipe the refrigerator with a soiled dish cloth or wet

towel. These may leave a residue that can erode the paint.

Do not use scouring pads, powdered cleaners, bleach or

cleaners containing either bleach or ammonia because

The stainless steel doors and door handles (on some

models) can be cleaned with a commercially available

stainless steel cleaner. Cleaners with oxalic acid such as

Bar Keepers Friend Soft Cleanser™ will remove surface

rust, tarnish and small blemishes. Use only a liquid cleanser

free of grit and rub in the direction of the brush lines with a

damp soft sponge. Do not use appliance wax or polish on

the stainless steel.

Cleaning the Inside

To help prevent odors, leave an open box of baking soda in

the fresh food and freezer compartments.

Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning.

If this is not practical, wring excess moisture out of sponge

or cloth when cleaning around switches, lights or controls.

tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda to a quart (1 liter) of water.

This both cleans and neutralizes odors. Rinse and wipe dry.

After cleaning the door gaskets, apply a thin layer of petroleum

jelly to the door gaskets at the hinge side. This helps keep the

gaskets from sticking and bending out of shape.

CAUTION

Do not clean glass shelves or covers with

warm water when they are cold. Glass shelves and covers

may break if exposed to sudden temperature changes or

impact such as bumping or dropping. Tempered glass is

designed to shatter into many small pieces if it breaks.

Do not wash any plastic refrigerator parts in the

dishwasher.

To Clean the AutoFill Pitcher

The AutoFill pitcher and lid are dishwasher safe. The lid

should be placed in the top rack only and the pitcher in the

bottom rack of the dishwasher. Run on normal wash.

To maximize performance of your AutoFill pitcher, it is

recommended that you rinse it thoroughly after washing to

remove all soap residue.

If your AutoFill pitcher has been in contact with food that is

likely to cause discoloration (e.g. tomato ketchup, mustard),

clean your pitcher promptly. This is to avoid possible

discoloration of your pitcher.

When pushing the refrigerator back, make sure you don’t

roll over the power cord or ice maker supply line (on some

models).

After rolling the refrigerator back into place, turn the

legs clockwise until the legs again bear the weight of the

refrigerator.

Turning the control to the OFF position does not remove

power to the light circuit.

Preparing for Vacation

For long vacations or absences, remove food and unplug

the refrigerator. Move the temperature control dial to the

OFF position, and 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.

Preparing to Move

Secure all loose items such as grille, shelves and drawers

by taping them securely in place to prevent damage. To

prevent the doors from opening while moving, secure them

to the case with tape. Be sure the refrigerator stays in an

upright position during moving.
