Care and Cleaning WARNING Unplug the appliance before cleaning it. General WARNING • Never use flammable liquids for cleaning purposes. • Never use any sharp or abrasive tools, harsh chemicals or wax polish for cleaning. Exercise caution when cleaning around the control panel and lights. Do not spray water or cleaners of any kind around these areas. Doing so may create an electric shock hazard and damage the electrical parts. • Never use cleaning agents or water that contain chlorine to clean the surfaces of the unit. Chlorine causes corrosion on metal surfaces. • Always wipe stainless steel surfaces with the grain. The appliance will last longer and perform more dependably if cleaned at regular intervals. 1. Wash surfaces with a soft damp cloth soaked in warm soapy water. 2. Check regularly that the door gaskets are clean. 3. To remove door and body shelves, remove all contents. Remove the door shelves by pulling them up. Avoiding odors • Keeping the refrigerator clean is important. Food residues, stains, etc. can cause odors. • Keep food in closed containers. Uncovered containers can cause unpleasant odors. • Never keep food that has expired dates or is spoiled in the refrigerator. Protecting Plastic Surfaces Do not put oils or oil-cooked meals in your refrigerator in unsealed containers because they can damage the plastic surfaces of the refrigerator. If oil is spilled or smeared onto the plastic surfaces, clean and rinse the surface immediately with warm water. Water Filter Replacement WARNING • Turn off the ice maker and disconnect the power plug before replacing the filter or installing the filter bypass. • The water filter cleans some foreign particles in the water. It does not purify water from microorganisms. IMPORTANT • The water filter must be replaced every 6 months. • After replacing the filter, flush the system by filling and discarding 10 glasses of water. • If you will not use the filter anymore, remove it and install the filter bypass. Use Dacor replacement cartridge # 4874960100. 18
