Your refrigerator is built to give you many years of dependable service. However, there are a
few things you can do to extend its product life. This section tells you how to clean your
refrigerator and what to do when going on vacation, moving or during a power outage.
Cleaning your refrigerator
Both the refrigerator and freezer sections
defrost automatically. However, clean both
about once a month to prevent odors from
building up. Wipe up spills right away.
To clean your refrigerator, turn the Refrig-
erator Control to OFF, unplug it, take out all
removable parts and clean the refrigerator
according to the following directions.

near the defrost pan and can become
hot. Remove and install defrost pan

injury.
