Cleaning the Inside
To help prevent odors, leave an open box of
baking soda in the refrigerator and freezer
compartments.
Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning.
If this is not practical, wring excess moisture
out of sponge or cloth when cleaning
around switches, lights or controls.
Use warm water and baking soda solution—
about a tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda
to a quart (1 liter) of water. This both cleans
and neutralizes odors. Thoroughly rinse
and wipe dry.
Behind 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
may result in damage to the floor covering
or refrigerator.
Preparing for Vacation
For long vacations or absences, remove
food and unplug the refrigerator. Move
the freezer control to the 0 (off) position,
and clean the interior with a baking soda
solution of one tablespoon (15 ml) of
baking soda to one quart (1 liter) of water.
Leave the doors open.
Set the icemaker power switch to the O (off)
position and shut off the water supply to
the refrigerator.
Preparing to Move
Secure all loose items such as base grille,
shelves and drawers by taping them
securely in place to prevent damage.

Avoid cleaning cold glass shelves (on some
models) with hot water because the extreme
temperature difference may cause them to break.
Handle glass shelves carefully. Bumping
tempered glass can cause it to shatter.
Do not wash any refrigerator parts in the
dishwasher.
Wash ice trays in lukewarm water only—
do not put them in an automatic dishwasher.
When pushing the refrigerator back, make sure
you don't roll over the power cord or icemaker
supply line (on some models).
If the temperature can drop below
freezing, have a qualified servicer drain
the water supply system (on some models)
to prevent serious property damage due
to flooding.
Be sure the refrigerator stays in an upright
position during moving.
