CARE AND CLEANING
IMPORTANT
If you store or move your refrigerator in freezing temperatures, be sure to completely
drain the water supply system. Failure to do so could result in water leaks when the refrig-
erator is put back into service. Contact a service representative to perform this operation.
CAUTION
Pull the refrigerator straight out to move it. Shifting it from side to side may damage
flooring. Be careful not to move the refrigerator beyond the plumbing connections.
Damp objects stick to cold metal surfaces. Do not touch refrigerated surfaces with wet
or damp hands.
NOTE
Do not use abrasive cleaners such as window sprays, scouring cleansers, flammable
fluids, cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches, or cleansers containing petro-
leum products on plastic parts, interior doors, gaskets, or cabinet liners. Do not use paper
towels, scouring pads, or other abrasive cleaning materials.
NOTE
If you set your temperature controls to turn off cooling, power to lights and other electri-
cal components will continue until you unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
Protecting your investment
Keeping your refrigerator clean maintains its appearance and prevents odor build-up.
Do not wash any removable parts in a dishwasher.
Always unplug the electrical power cord from the wall outlet before cleaning.
Remove adhesive labels by hand. Do not use razor blades or other sharp instruments
which can scratch the appliance surface.
Do not remove the serial plate. Removal of your serial plate voids your warranty.
Before moving your refrigerator, raise the anti-tip brackets so the rollers will work
correctly. This will prevent the floor from being damaged.
Refer to the guide on the next page for details on caring and cleaning specific areas of
your refrigerator.
Wipe up any spills immediately and clean the freezer and refrigerator compartments at
least twice a year.
Never use metallic scouring pads, brushes, abrasive cleaners, or strong alkaline solutions on any
surface.
Never use CHLORIDE or cleaners with bleach to clean stainless steel.
