REFRIGERATOR C ARE

Explosion Hazard

Use nonflammable

cleaner.

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

Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost automatically.

However, clean both sections about once a month to prevent

odors from building up. Wipe up spills immediately.

IMPORTANT: Because air circulates between both sections, any

odors formed in one section will transfer to the other. You must

thoroughly clean both sections to eliminate odors. To prevent

odor transfer and drying out of food, wrap or cover foods tightly.

To Clean Your Refrigerator:

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

sprays, scouring cleansers, flammable fluids, cleaning waxes,

concentrated

detergents, bleaches or cleansers containing

petroleum products on 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.

Wash stainless steel and painted metal exteriors with a clean

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

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:

•

Removethe

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.

Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.

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

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

light requires a heavy duty 10-watt bulb. All other lights require a

40-watt bulb. Replacement bulbs are available from your dealer.

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2. Remove light shield when applicable.

NOTE: To clean the light shield, wash it with warm water and

liquid detergent. Rinse and dry the shield well.

3. Remove light bulb and replace with one of the same size,

shape and wattage.

4. Replace light shield when applicable.

5. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Try the solutions suggested here first in order to avoid the cost of an unnecessary service call.

The refrigerator isn't cooling

•

Are the temperature

controls set at the mid-settings?

The

controls are preset at the factory to the correct mid-setting.

After connecting power, wait 1 hour before checking

temperature.

NOTE: Adjusting the controls to coldest setting will not cool either

compartment

more quickly.

The lights do not work

•

Is the power supply cord unplugged? Plug into a grounded

3 prong outlet.

•

Is a light bulb loose in the socket or burned out? See

"Changing the Light Bulbs."

•

Is the dispenser

light set to ON? The dispenser light will

operate only when the levers are pressed. If you want the

dispenser light to stay on continuously, set the dispenser light

to ON, or NIGHT LIGHT. See "Water and Ice Dispensers."

•

Is the dispenser light set to NIGHT LIGHT? If the dispenser

is set to the NIGHT LIGHT mode, be sure the dispenser light

sensor is not blocked. See "Water and Ice Dispensers."

Temperature is too warm

Check the following:

•

Are the air vents blocked in either compartment?

•

Are the door(s) opened often?

•

Has a large amount of food just been added to the refrigerator

or freezer?

•

Are the controls set correctly for the surrounding conditions?

The motor seems to run too much

Check the following:

•

Is the room temperature hotter than normal?

•

Has a large amount of food just been added to the

refrigerator?

•

Are the doors opened often?

•

Are the doors not closed completely?

•

Are the condenser coils dirty?

NOTE: Your new refrigerator will run longer than your old one due

to its high-efficiency

motor.
