Vacation and Moving Care
Vacations
If you choose to leave the refrigerator or freezer on while you’re
away, use up any perishables and freeze other items.
If you choose to turn the refrigerator or freezer off before you
leave, follow these steps:
1. Remove all food from the refrigerator or freezer.
2. Turn the control to the off position. See the “Using the
Controls” section.
3. Clean the refrigerator or freezer, wipe it, and dry well.
4. Tape rubber or wood blocks to the tops of both doors to prop
them open far enough for air to get in. This stops odor and
mold from building up.
Clean the refrigerator or freezer about once a month to keep
odors from building up. Wipe up spills immediately.
To Clean Your Refrigerator or Freezer:
1. Press and hold TEMP SETTING for 3 seconds to turn off
cooling.
2. Unplug the refrigerator or freezer or disconnect power.
3. Remove all removable parts from inside, such as shelves,
crispers, etc.
4. 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.
■ Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window
sprays, scouring cleansers, flammable fluids, cleaning waxes,
concentrated detergents, bleaches, or cleansers containing
petroleum products on plastic parts, interior and door liners
or gaskets. Do not use paper towels, scouring pads, or other
harsh cleaning tools. These can scratch or damage materials.
■ To help remove odors, you can wash interior walls with a
mixture of warm water and baking soda (2 tbs to 1 qt [26 g to
0.95 L] of water).
5. Replace removable parts.
6. Use the appropriate cleaning method for your exterior finish.
Painted Metal: Wash exterior door with a microfiber cloth and a
mild detergent in warm water. For all other exterior surfaces, wash
with a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm
water. Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners or cleaners designed
for stainless steel. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
7. Clean the condenser coils regularly. Coils may need to be
cleaned as often as every other month. This may help save
energy.
■ Open the refrigerator or freezer door and remove the base
grille by removing two Phillips head screws and pulling the
grille toward you.
■ Use a vacuum with an extended attachment to clean the
condenser coils when they are dusty or dirty.
■ Replace the base grille by aligning the ends of the grille with
the leveling assemblies on each side and snapping the grille
into place. Reinstall the screws.
8. Plug in the refrigerator or freezer or reconnect the power.
9. Set the temperature control to desired setting. See the “Using
the Controls” sections.
Auto Defrost Freezer
Auto-defrost means that you will not have to defrost your freezer.
Frost is removed by air moving and collecting any moisture and
depositing it on the cooling coil. The cooling coil periodically
warms up enough to melt the frost, and it then flows down to the
drain pan (located behind the base grille) where it is evaporated.
