Keep your refrigerator and freezer clean to 

prevent odor build-up. Wipe up any spills 

immediately and clean both sections at least 

twice a year. Never use metallic scouring 

pads, brushes, abrasive cleaners or strong 

alkaline solutions on any surface. Do not wash 

any removable parts in a dishwasher. Always 

unplug the power cord from the electrical 

outlet before cleaning.

 1.  Unplug refrigerator.
 2.  Wear gloves as protection against possible 

broken glass.

 3.  Unsnap light shield as shown.
 4.  Unscrew and replace old bulb with an 

appliance bulb of the same wattage.

 5.  Replace light shield.
 6.  Remember to plug the refrigerator back in.

If your refrigerator is equipped with a Never

Clean condenser, there’s no need to clean the 

condenser under normal operating conditions.  

If the refrigerator is operated under particularly 

dusty or greasy conditions, or if there is 

significant pet traffic in your home, it may be

necessary to periodically clean the condenser 

for maximum efficiency.

Avoid cuts when replacing light bulbs, wear 

gloves.

•  When moving the refrigerator, pull

straight out. Do not shift the refrigerator 

from side to side as this may damage 

the floor. Be careful not to move the

refrigerator beyond the plumbing 

connections.

•  Damp objects stick to cold metal surfaces.

Do not touch refrigerated surfaces with 

wet or damp hands.

•  Never use CHLORIDE to clean stainless

steel.



•  Turning the refrigerator temperature

control to “0” turns off the compressor, 

but does not disconnect electrical power 

to the light bulb or other electrical 

components. To turn off power to your 

refrigerator, you must unplug the power 

cord from the wall outlet.

•  Do not use razor blades or other

sharp instruments which can scratch 

the appliance surface when removing 

adhesive labels. Any glue left from tape or 

labels can be removed with a mixture of 

warm water and mild detergent, or, touch 

the glue residue with the sticky side of 

tape you have already removed. Do not 

remove the serial plate.



Do not use abrasive cleaners such as 

window sprays, scouring cleansers, 

flammable fluids, cleaning waxes,

concentrated detergents, bleaches, or 

cleansers containing petroleum products 

on plastic parts, interior doors, gaskets, or 

cabinet liners.  Do not use paper towels, 

scouring pads, or other abrasive cleaning 

materials.
