Moving the Refrigerator
Be careful when moving the refrigerator away from
the wall. All types of floor coverings can be damaged,
particularly cushioned coverings and those with
embossed surfaces.
Pull the refrigerator straight out and return it to position
by pushing it straight in. Moving the refrigerator in a
side direction, or leaning the unit to the corner to pull
or push, may result in damage to the floor covering or
refrigerator.
When pushing the refrigerator back, make sure you don’t
roll over the power cord or ice maker supply line (on
some models).
Adjust leveling legs and make sure the unit is leveled.
Cleaning the Inside
To help prevent odors, leave an open box of baking
sodainthefreshfoodandfreezercompartments.
Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning.

After cleaning the door gaskets, apply a thin layer of
petroleum jelly to the door gaskets at the hinge side.
This helps keep the gaskets from sticking and bending
out of shape.
