CONDENSER CLEANING
For all integrated models, the condenser is located at the
bottom of the unit, behind the kickplate/grille. To clean the
condenser area, remove the kickplate/grille by removing
the screws holding it in place. The condenser is now
accessible for cleaning. Using a soft bristle brush, vacuum
to remove dust and lint from the condenser. Refer to the
illustration below.
IMPORTANT NOTE: To ensure efficient performance of
your integrated unit, the condenser must be cleaned every
three to six months under normal use. If you have pets, it
may be necessary to clean the condenser more often.

Vacation Time
F
or extended vacations, shut off power to the unit by
pressing the UNIT ON/OFF key pad (POWER for column
models). Empty all contents and block the door and
drawers open slightly. A one-inch space will let fresh air in
to keep the interior dry.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Moisture accumulates in a unit that
has been shut off as it warms to room temperature, even if
it has only been in service temporarily and later shut off.
Blocking the door and drawers open slightly will allow the
moisture to escape.
For short vacations, remove all perishable items. Shut off
the ice maker by pressing the ICE MAKER key pad and
empty the ice container. It is not necessary to change the
control settings.
If your religious observances require turning off the lights
and ice maker, see Sabbath mode on page 10.
Moisture accumulation can damage interior metal
components.
Before cleaning the condenser, shut off power to the
unit at the control panel. Wear gloves to avoid injury
from sharp condenser fins.
