Operating Instructions Safety Instructions Care and cleaning of the refrigerator. Cleaning the Outside The door handles and trim. Clean with a cloth dampened with soapy water. Dry with a soft cloth. Do not use wax on the door handles and trim. 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 bleach because these products can scratch and weaken the paint finish. The stainless steel door and door handles. Stainless steel can be cleaned with a soft cloth soaked with hot water or liquid detergent. If you use a detergent, be sure to wipe with a clean, wet cloth. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners, chlorine bleach, rough brushes or other harsh cleaners on the stainless steel. This may cause permanent damage. 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 refrigerator and freezer compartments. Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning. If this is not practical, wring excess moisture out of the sponge or cloth when cleaning around switches, lights or controls. Use warm water and baking soda solution- about a 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. Avoid cleaning cold glass shelves with hot water because the extreme temperature difference may cause them to break. Handle glass shelves carefully. Bumping tempered glass can cause it to shatter. Do not wash any plastic refrigerator parts in the dishwasher. Behind the Refrigerator Be careful when moving the refrigerator away from the wall. All types of floor coverings can be damaged, particularly cushioned coverings and those with embossed surfaces. Pull the refrigerator straight out and return it to position by pushing it straight in. Moving the refrigerator in a side direction may result in damage to the floor covering or refrigerator. When pushing the refrigerator back, make sure you don't roll over the power cord or icemaker supply line (on some models). Installation Instructions Consumer Support Troubleshooting Tips 6
