ooring. Be careful not to move the refrigerator beyond the plumbing connections.

damp hands.

CARE & CLEANING
Protecting your investment
Keeping your refrigerator clean maintains its appearance and prevents odor build-up. Wipe up
any spills immediately and clean the freezer and fresh food compartments at least twice a year.
• Remove adhesive labels by hand. Do not use razor blades or other sharp instruments which
can scratch the appliance surface.
• Do not remove the serial plate. Removal of your serial plate voids your warranty.
• Before moving your refrigerator, raise the anti-tip brackets so the rollers will work correctly.
This will prevent the oor from being damaged.
Refer to the guide on the next page for details on caring and cleaning specic areas of your refrigerator.
• Never use metallic scouring pads, brushes, abrasive cleaners, or strong alkaline solutions on any
surface.
• Never use CHLORIDE or cleaners with bleach to clean stainless steel.
• Do not wash any removable parts in a dishwasher.
• Always unplug the electrical power cord from the wall outlet before cleaning.
