REFRIGERATOR CARE
Cleaning
Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost automatically. 
However, clean both sections about once a month to avoid 
buildup of odors. Wipe up spills immediately.
IMPORTANT:
Because air circulates between both sections, any odors 
formed in one section will transfer to the other. You must 
thoroughly clean both sections to eliminate odors. To avoid 
odor transfer and drying out of food, wrap or cover foods 
tightly.
For stainless steel models, stainless steel is corrosion-
resistant and not corrosion-proof. To help avoid corrosion of 
your stainless steel, keep your surfaces clean by using the 
following cleaning instructions.
To Clean Your Refrigerator:
NOTE: Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window 
sprays, scouring cleansers, flammable fluids, muriatic acid,  
cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches or cleansers 
containing petroleum products on exterior surfaces (doors and 
cabinet), plastic parts, interior and door liners or gaskets. Do not 
use paper towels, scouring pads, or other harsh cleaning tools.
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. Clean the exterior surfaces.
Painted metal: Wash painted metal exteriors with a clean, 
soft cloth or sponge and a mild detergent in warm water. 
Rinse surfaces with clean, warm water and dry immediately 
to avoid water spots.
Stainless steel: Wash stainless steel surfaces with a clean, 
soft cloth or sponge and a mild detergent in warm water. 
Rinse surfaces with clean, warm water and dry immediately 
to avoid water spots. 
NOTE: When cleaning stainless steel, always wipe with the 
grain to avoid cross-grain scratching.  
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
NOTE: Not all bulbs will fit your refrigerator. Be sure to replace 
the bulb with an appliance bulb of the same size, shape, and 
wattage.
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Remove the bulb from behind the control panel in the 
refrigerator or from behind the light shield in the freezer (on 
some models). Replace it with an appliance bulb of the same 
wattage.
3. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.
