REFRIGERATOR CARE

Cleaning

Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost automatically. 

However, clean both sections about once a month to avoid 

build-up of odors. Wipe up spills immediately.
To Clean Your Refrigerator:

1.  Remove the top grille. See “Power On/Off Switch.”
2.  Press power switch to OFF.
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.  Wash stainless steel and painted metal exteriors with a clean 

sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Do 

not use abrasive or harsh cleaners, or cleaners containing 

chlorine. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.

NOTE: To keep your Stainless Steel refrigerator looking like 

new and to remove minor scuffs or marks, it is suggested that 

you use the manufacturer’s approved Stainless Steel Cleaner 

and Polish.
IMPORTANT: This cleaner is for Stainless Steel parts only!

Do not allow the Stainless Steel Cleaner and Polish to come into 

contact with any plastic parts such as the trim pieces, dispenser 

covers or door gaskets. If unintentional contact does occur, 

clean plastic part with a sponge and mild detergent in warm 

water. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. To order the cleaner, see 

“Accessories.”

6.  Clean the condenser coils located behind the top grille 

ventilation panel regularly. Coils may need to be cleaned as 

often as every other month. This may help save energy.

 

■

Use a vacuum cleaner with an extended attachment to 

clean the condenser coils when they are dusty or dirty.

7.  Press the power switch to ON.
8.  Replace the top grille. See “Power On/Off Switch.”

Lights

The lights in both the refrigerator and freezer compartments 

are LEDs which do not need to be replaced. If the lights do not 

illuminate when the door is opened, call for assistance or service. 

In the U.S.A., call 

1-800-422-1230. In Canada call 1-800-807-

Power Interruptions

If the power will be out for 24 hours or less, keep the door or 

doors closed (depending on your model) to help food stay cold 

and frozen.
If the power will be out for more than 24 hours, do one of the 

following:

 

■

Remove all frozen food and store it in a frozen food locker.

 

■

Place 2 lbs (907 g) of dry ice in the freezer for every cubic foot 

(28 L) of freezer space. This will keep the food frozen for 2 to 

4 days.

 

■

If neither a food locker nor dry ice is available, consume or 

can perishable food at once.

REMEMBER: A full freezer stays cold longer than a partially filled 

one. A freezer full of meat stays cold longer than a freezer full of 

baked goods. If you see that food contains ice crystals, it may be 

refrozen, although the quality and flavor may be affected. If the 

condition of the food is poor, dispose of it.

Vacation Care

Your refrigerator is equipped with the Sabbath Mode feature, 

which is designed for the traveler who wishes to turn off the lights 

and ice maker. By selecting this feature, the temperature set 

points remain unchanged, the ice maker will be disabled and the 

interior lights will turn off. For most efficient refrigerator operation, 

it is recommended to exit Sabbath Mode when it is no longer 

required.
If You Choose To Leave the Refrigerator On While 

1.  Use up any perishables and freeze other items.
2.  Press SABBATH.
3.  If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker, shut off water 

supply to the ice maker.

4.  Empty the ice bin.
5.  When you return from vacation, press SABBATH to return to 

normal operation.
