Care & Cleaning
Refer to the chart on the following page for specific
refrigerator cleaning guidelines.
Disconnect the power cord before cleaning.
Cleaning Under the Refrigerator
Your refrigerator can be rolled out for cleaning the
floor underneath. Raise the locking feet if engaged
(see page 2). Pull the refrigerator straight out from the
wall.
No Clean ™ Commercial-Duty
Condenser
A clean condenser means more efficient refrigerator
operation. Thanks to the unique design of the No
Clean
™ condenser, there is no longer a need for routine
condenser cleaning in normal home usage
surroundings.
Some operating environments may be particularly
dusty or greasy. In these situations, the condenser can
be periodically cleaned to insure maximum efficiency.
Replacing a Light Bulb
CAUTION: Disconnect the power cord before replacing light bulb(s). Wear gloves as protection
against possible broken glass.
Refrigerator
The light bulb(s) is/are located under the top of the
refrigerator compartment.
• To remove the bulb cover:
Squeeze the tabs at the base of the cover. Using
gentle downward pressure, the bulb cover should
snap out.
• Unscrew the lightbulb and replace.
• Replace the bulb cover by snapping the tabs back
into the appropriate slots.
Freezer
Some models are equipped with a freezer light. This
light is located on the back wall of the freezer
compartment, near the upper right corner.
To remove the bulb cover:
• Grasp the top and bottom of the bulb cover. Press in the
areas of the attachment tabs, applying enough pressure
to unhook the tabs. At the same time, pivot the cover
down and remove.
• Unscrew the lightbulb and replace.
• Replace the bulb cover by pivoting it back into place and
snapping the tabs into the appropriate slots.
Always use a standard 40 or 60 watt appliance bulb.
Vacations
If you will be gone for a month or less, leave the
controls at the usual settings.
During longer absences:
a) remove all food,
b) shut off the ice maker (if installed) and the valve
where you tapped into the water line to supply the
refrigerator,
c) disconnect the refrigerator from the electrical outlet,
d) clean and dry the refrigerator thoroughly,
e) leave the doors open to prevent odors.
Moving
When moving, follow steps a–d under Vacations. In
addition, remove and carefully pack any items that are
easily removable. Ship the refrigerator in an upright
position with the doors taped shut.
