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.

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.

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.

IMPORTANT: The light bulbs in both the refrigerator and freezer 
compartments of your new refrigerator use LED technology. If the
