INSIDE WALLS

(Allow freezer to warm up so the cloth

will not 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 of baking soda to 1 quart of

water (26 g soda to 1 liter water.) Be sure the baking

soda is completely dissolved so it does not scratch the

surfaces of the refrigerator.

CAUTION.

While cleaning the inside, do not spray

water.

DOOR LINERS AND GASKETS

Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent

in warm water. Do not use cleaning waxes, concentrated

detergents, bleaches, or cleaners containing petroleum

on plastic refrigerator parts.

PLASTIC PARTS

(Covers and Panels)

Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent

in warm water. Do not use window sprays, abrasive

cleansers, or flammable fluids. These can scratch or

damage the material.

BACK COVER

WARNING

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

Before you begin, either unplug the refrigerator or turn

off power at the circuit breaker or fuse box.

NOTE: Back Cover should only

be removed by a qualified

technician.

In order to get an efficient

performance of your refrigerator,

clean the back cover of it at least

twice a year.

LED LIGHT REPLACEMENT

WARNING

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

Before replacing the LED light, either unplug the

refrigerator or turn off power at the circuit breaker or

fuse box.

NOTE: The refrigerator compartment light is LED interior

lighting, and service should be performed by a qualified

technician.

POWER INTERRUPTIONS

In case of a black out, call your electric company and ask

how long it will last.

1. In case of a 24 hour or less black out, do not open the

refrigerator; this will keep the food fresh.

2. In case of a longer black out, do one of the following

options:

• Pull out all of the frozen food and keep them in an

ice chest.

• Put 2 lbs (907 g) of frozen ice (make sure you use

gloves) for each square foot (28 L) inside the freezer.

This task will preserve the food fro 2 to 4 days.

• In case you do not possess neither ice chest or dry

ice, consume your food as soon as possible.

REMEMBER: In a power failure, a full freezer stays cold

longer than a partially filled one. A freezer full of meat

stays cold longer than a freezer full of baked goods. If

you see that food contains ice crystals, it may be safely

refrozen, although the quality and flavor may be affected.

If the condition of the food is poor or if you feel it unsafe,

dispose of it.

WHEN YOU GO ON VACATION

If you choose to leave the refrigerator on while you are

away, follow these steps to prepare your refrigerator

before you leave.

1. Use up any perishables and freeze other items.

2. Empty the ice bin.

If you choose to turn the refrigerator off before you leave,

follow these steps:

1. Remove all food from the refrigerator.

2. Unplug your refrigerator.

3. Clean the refrigerator, wipe it and dry well.

4. Tape rubber or wood blocks to the tops of both doors

to prop them open far enough for air to get in. This

stops odor and mold from building up. Remove all of

the food.

WHEN YOU MOVE

When you are moving your refrigerator to a new home,

follow these steps to prepare it for the move.

1. Remove all food from the refrigerator and pack all

frozen food in dry ice.

2. Unplug your refrigerator.

3. Empty the water from its tray.

4. Clean, wipe and dry thoroughly.

5. Take out all removable parts, wrap them well and tape

them together so they do not shift and rattle during

the move. Refer to the

“Using your Refrigerator”

section for removable instructions.

6. Depending on the model, raise the front of the

refrigerator so it rolls easier or screw in the leveling

legs all the way so they do not scrape the floor. See the

section

“Closing and Aligning Doors”.

7. Tape the doors shut and tape the power cord to the

refrigerator cabinet.

When you get to your new home, put everything back

and refer to the

“Refrigerator Installation” section for

preparation instructions.
