CARE AND CLEANING
(continued)
Under Refrigerator Behind Refrigerator
For most efficient
operation, you need to
keep the area under the
refrigerator clean.
Remove the base grille
and either sweep away or
vacuum up dust that is
readily accessible. For best
results, use a brush specially
designed for this purpose. It is
available at most appliance parts stores. This easy
cleaning operation should be done at least once a year. Care should be taken in moving your refrigerator
away from the wall. All types of floor coverings can
be damaged, particularly cushioned coverings and
those with embossed surfaces. Pull the refrigerator
straight out and return it to position by pushing it
straight in. Moving your refrigerator in a side
direction may result in damage to your floor covering
or refrigerator.
When pushing the refrigerator back, make sure you
don’t roll over the power cord or icemaker supply line
(on some models).
Clean the condenser coils
at least once a year.
Storage Drawer and Drawer Cover Removal
Drawers at the bottom of the fresh food compartment
will stop before coming all the way out of the
refrigerator, to help prevent contents from spilling
onto the floor. These drawers can be removed easily
by lifting the sides up slightly while pulling the
drawers past the ‘‘stop’’ location. To remove the drawers and their covers when the
fresh food compartment door cannot be opened fully,
follow the procedure that applies to your model.
Two Drawers (on some models)
1. Remove the drawer
farthest from the door.
2. Remove the other
drawer.
On models with a
bottom door shelf that
blocks the other drawer,
slide the other drawer
toward the middle and
remove it.
3. Remove the glass
cover. Reach in, push
the front of the glass
cover up and, at the
same time, pull it
forward as far as it
will come. Tilt it and
take it out.
4. Remove the drawer
frame. (Always
remove the glass
cover before you take
out the drawer frame.)
Lift the frame off
the supports at each
side and back, pull
it forward, tilt it and
take it out.
To replace:
1. Lower the frame
until it rests on the
supports at each side
and back.
2. Replace the drawers.
If you removed the
drawer slide, replace it
with the sloped end at
the front.
a. Slide one side of the
drawer onto the drawer slide.
b. Move the slide and drawer all the way to the
hinge side until the other side of the drawer rests
on the frame.
c. Slide the other drawer into place.
3. Replace the glass cover, pushing its rear edge
firmly into the rear frame channel and gently
lowering the front into place.
