Do not use appliance wax, polish, bleach, or other products 
containing chlorine on stainless steel.

works best.

cleaners containing bleach because these products can 
scratch and weaken the paint finish.

tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda to a quart (1 liter) of water.  
This both cleans and neutralizes odors. Rinse and wipe dry.
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. 
Raise the leveling legs located at the bottom front of 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.
Lower the leveling legs until they touch the floor.
When pushing the refrigerator back, make sure you don’t 
roll over the power cord or water supply line.
For long vacations or absences, remove food and unplug the 
refrigerator. 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.
If the temperature can drop below freezing, have a qualified 
service technician drain the water supply system to prevent 
serious property damage due to flooding.
1) Turn refrigerator off (pages 6 and 7) or unplug the refrigerator.
2) Empty ice bucket
3) Turn water supply off
If you cut the water supply off, turn off the ice maker (pg. 14).
Upon returning from vacation:
1) Replace the water filter.
2) Run 2 gallons of water through the cold water dispenser 
(about 5 minutes) to flush the system.
Preparing for Vacation
Preparing to Move
Secure all loose items such as shelves and drawers by taping 
them securely in place to prevent damage.
When using a hand truck to move the refrigerator, do not rest 
the front or back of the refrigerator against the hand truck. This 
could damage the refrigerator. 
Handle only from the sides of the refrigerator.
Be sure the refrigerator stays in an upright position during 
moving.
CAUTION
 Do not clean glass shelves or covers 
with warm water when they are cold. Glass shelves and 
covers may break if exposed to sudden temperature changes 
or impact such as bumping or dropping. Tempered glass is 
designed to shatter into many small pieces if it breaks.
