Can Racks and Door Bins
(on some models)
NOTE: Can racks may be purchased as an Accessory for some
models.
To Remove and Replace the Racks/Bins:
1. Remove the rack/bin by lifting it and pulling it straight out.
2. Replace the rack/bin by sliding it in above the desired
support and pushing it down until it stops.
Adjustable Utility Compartment & Tray
(on some models)
The utility compartment and tray slide from one side to the other
for more flexible storage. The tray fits on either side of the utility
compartment or partially underneath it. Try moving it to different
positions to find the option that works best for you.
To Install and Adjust the Utility Compartment and Tray:
1. Insert the front of the utility tray into the slot on the back of
the shelf rail. Lower the back of the tray into position.
2. Place the front of the utility compartment on top of the shelf
rail. Lower the back of the compartment onto the ribs on the
refrigerator door.
3. Adjust the utility compartment by lifting the front slightly and
sliding it to the desired position. Lower the front to lock it into
place.
Flip-up Door Shelf
(on some models)
The shelf bottom flips up so you can store taller items in the door
shelf below. When in the down position, the shelf is strong
enough to hold up to 10 lbs. (4.5 kg).
REFRIGERATOR CARE
Cleaning
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.
To Clean Your Refrigerator:
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Remove all removable parts from inside, such as shelves,
crispers, etc.
3. 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.
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. These can
scratch or damage materials.
To help remove odors, you can wash interior walls with a
mixture of warm water and baking soda (2 tbs. to 1 qt.
[26 g to 0.95 L] of water).
4. Determine whether your refrigerator exterior is painted metal,
brushed aluminum or stainless steel and choose the
appropriate cleaning method.
Painted metal: Wash exteriors with a clean sponge or soft
cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Do not use abrasive
or harsh cleaners, or cleaners designed for stainless steel.
Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. For additional protection
against damage to painted metal exteriors, apply appliance
wax (or auto paste wax) with a clean, soft cloth. Do not wax
plastic parts.
Brushed aluminum: Wash with a clean sponge or soft cloth
and a mild detergent in warm water. Do not use abrasive or
harsh cleaners, or cleaners designed for stainless steel. Dry
thoroughly with a soft cloth.
Stainless steel finish: Wash with a clean sponge or soft
cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Do not use abrasive
or harsh cleaners. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
To keep your stainless steel refrigerator looking like new
and to remove minor scuffs or marks, it is suggested that
you use the manufacturers approved Stainless Steel
Cleaner & Polish.
IMPORTANT: This cleaner is for stainless steel parts only!
