CARE AND CLEANING

27

Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost
automatically. However, clean both sections about once
a month to prevent odors. Wipe up spills immediately.

GENERAL CLEANING TIPS

• Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
• Remove all removable parts, such as shelves,

crispers, etc. Refer to sections in Using Your
Refrigerator for removal instructions.

• Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in

warm water. Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners.

• Hand wash, rinse and dry all surfaces thoroughly.
• Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.

OUTSIDE

Waxing external painted metal surfaces helps provide rust
protection. Do not wax plastic parts. Wax painted metal
surfaces at least twice a year using appliance wax (or
auto paste wax). Apply wax with a clean, soft cloth.
For products with a stainless steel exterior, use a clean
sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water.
Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners. Dry thoroughly
with a soft cloth.

INSIDE WALLS (allow freezer to warm up so
cloth won’t stick)

To help remove odors, you can wash the inside of the
refrigerator with a mixture of baking soda and warm water.
Mix 2 tablespoons baking soda to 1 quart of water (26 g
soda to 1 liter water.) Be sure the baking soda is
completely dissolved so does it not scratch the surfaces of
the refrigerator.

: While cleaning the inside, do not spray water.

DOOR LINERS AND GASKETS

Do not use cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents,
bleaches, or cleaners containing petroleum on plastic
refrigerator parts.

PLASTIC PARTS (covers and panels)

Do not use window sprays, abrasive cleansers, or flammable
fluids. These can scratch or damage the material.

CONDENSER COILS

Remove Back cover.
Use a vacuum cleaner with an
extended attachment to clean
condenser coils. Vacuum coils
when dusty or dirty. Coils may
need to be cleaned as often as
every other month.

LIGHT BULB REPLACEMENT

NOTE:
• Not all appliance bulbs will fit your refrigerator. Be sure to

replace the bulb with one of the same size, shape and
wattage.

• The light bulbs will turn off if door is left open for seven

continuous minutes. Shutting door for one second will light
bulbs to come back on.

• There is a safety thermal protector in the "fresh food"

compartments interior lights to prevent over heating if the
door is left open too long. If the lights go off because the
thermal protector is activated, close the doors and allow 10
minutes for the thermal protector to reset.

To change Refrigerator Light Bulbs

1. Unplug Refrigerator, or disconnect power at the circuit

breaker.

2. If necessary, remove top shelf or shelves.
3. Using a flat instrument, gently pry the lamp cover loose in

the front as shown. Rotate downward to remove rear tabs.

4. Make sure the bulbs are cool to the touch. Turn bulbs

counterclockwise to remove. Insert new bulb(s).

5. Replace with a new 60-watt appliance bulb.
6. Assemble in reverse order by snapping the Lamp Cover in,

engaging the rear tabs followed by the front tabs.

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Before replacing a burned-out light bulb, either unplug the
refrigerator or turn off power at the circuit breaker or fuse box.

NOTE: Moving the control to the OFF position
does not remove power to the light circuit.

WARNING

Explosion Hazard

Use non-flammable cleaner.

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
