To Clean Your Refrigerator:

NOTE: Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window

sprays, scouring cleansers, flammable fluids, muriatic acid,

cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches or cleansers

containing petroleum products on exterior surfaces (doors and

cabinet), plastic parts, interior and door liners or gaskets. Do not

use paper towels, scouring pads, or other harsh cleaning tools.

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2. 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.

3. Clean the exterior surfaces.

Painted metal: Wash painted metal exteriors with a clean,

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

Rinse surfaces with clean, warm water and dry immediately

to avoid water spots.

Stainless steel: Wash stainless steel surfaces with a clean,

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

Rinse surfaces with clean, warm water and dry immediately

to avoid water spots.

NOTE: When cleaning stainless steel, always wipe with the

grain to avoid cross-grain scratching.

4. There is no need for routine condenser cleaning in normal

home operating environments. If the environment is

particularly greasy or dusty, or there is significant pet traffic in

the home, the condenser should be cleaned every 2 to

3 months to ensure maximum efficiency.

If you need to clean the condenser:

■ Remove the base grille.

■ Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush to clean the grille,

the open areas behind the grille and the front surface area

of the condenser.

■ Replace the base grille when finished.

5. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.

Changing the Light Bulbs

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

the bulb with an appliance bulb of the same size, shape, and

wattage.

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2. Remove the bulb from behind the control panel in the

refrigerator or from behind the light shield in the freezer (on

some models). Replace it with an appliance bulb of the same

wattage.

3. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.

Refrigerator Operation

The refrigerator will not operate

■ Power cord unplugged? Plug into a grounded 3 prong

outlet.

■ Is outlet working? Plug in a lamp to see if the outlet is

working.

■ Household fuse blown or circuit breaker tripped? Replace

the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues,

call an electrician.

■ Control(s) on? Make sure the refrigerator control is on. See

“Using the Control(s).”

■ New installation? Allow 24 hours following installation for

the refrigerator to cool completely.

NOTE: Adjusting the temperature control(s) to coldest setting

will not cool the refrigerator more quickly.

The motor seems to run too much

Your new refrigerator may run longer than your old one due to its

high-efficiency compressor and fans. The unit may run even

longer if the room is warm, a large food load is added, the door is

opened often, or if the door has been left open.

The refrigerator seems noisy

Refrigerator noise has been reduced over the years. Due to this

reduction, you may hear intermittent noises from your new

refrigerator that you did not notice from your old model. Below

are listed some normal sounds with explanations.

■ Pulsating - fans/compressor adjusting to optimize

performance.

■ Hissing/Rattling - flow of refrigerant, movement of water

lines, or from items placed on top of the refrigerator.
