Troubleshooting Tips Installation Instructions Operating Instructions Safety Instructions Care and cleaning of the refrigerator. 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. Turn the leveling legs at each front corner of the refrigerator counterclockwise until the rollers support the refrigerator. 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). After rolling the refrigerator back into place, turn the legs clockwise until the legs again bear the weight of the refrigerator. Light Bulb Replacement To replace a burned-out bulb, unplug the refrigerator from its electrical outlet, unscrew the bulb when cool and replace it with an appliance bulb of the same or lower wattage. Turning the control to the 0 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 0 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. Set the icemaker power switch to the O (off) position or move the feeler arm to the STOP (up) position (depending on model) and shut off the water supply to the refrigerator. If the temperature can drop below freezing, have a qualified servicer drain the water supply system (on some models) to prevent serious property damage due to flooding. Preparing to Move Secure all loose items such as grille, shelves and drawers by taping them securely in place to prevent damage. Be sure the refrigerator stays in an upright position during moving.
