1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power. 2. 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. 3. Wash stainless steel and painted metal exteriors with a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. ■ 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 and Polish, Part Number 4396920. To order the cleaner, call 1-800-422-1230 U.S.A. or 1-800-807-6777 Canada. IMPORTANT: This cleaner is for stainless steel parts only! Do not allow the Stainless Steel Cleaner and Polish to come into contact with any plastic parts such as the trim pieces, dispenser covers or door gaskets. If unintentional contact does occur, clean plastic part with a sponge and mild detergent in warm water. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. 4. There is no need for routine condenser cleaning in normal home operating environments. If the environment is particularly greasy or dusty, or there is significant pet traffic in the home, the condenser should be cleaned every 2 to 3 months to ensure maximum efficiency. If you need to clean the condenser: ■ Remove the base grille. ■ Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush to clean the grille, the open areas behind the grille and the front surface area of the condenser. ■ Replace the base grille when finished. 5. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power. Changing the Light Bulbs IMPORTANT: Depending on your model, the light bulbs in your new refrigerator may use LED technology. If your model uses LED lighting and the lights do not illuminate when the refrigerator and/ or freezer door is opened, call for assistance or service. See Warranty for phone numbers. Refrigerator Compartment Light 1. Unplug the refrigerator or disconnect power. 2. Slide the light shield toward the back of the compartment to release it from the light assembly. 3.

LED Technology Models Only: ■ To replace the LED bulb with an LED bulb, order part number W10565137 (3.6 watts). NOTE: Some LED replacement bulbs are not recommended for wet/damp environments. The refrigerator and freezer compartments are considered to be wet/damp environments.

If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker: ■ Turn off the water supply to the ice maker at least one day ahead of time. ■ When the last load of ice drops, raise the wire shutoff arm to the OFF (up) position or press the switch to OFF, depending on your model. 3. Turn off the Temperature control(s). See "Using the Control(s)." 4. Clean refrigerator, wipe it, and dry well. 5.
