Do not allow the Stainless Steel Cleaner and Polish to come into
contact with any plastic parts such as the trim pieces, dispenser
covers or door gaskets. If unintentional contact does occur, clean
plastic part with a sponge and mild detergent in warm water. Dry
thoroughly with a soft cloth.
5. If your model has a touch screen display on the dispenser panel,
clean the screen using a soft, lint-free cloth. Mix a mild detergent with
water, then use the mixture to dampen the cloth and gently wipe the
screen.
To avoid unintentionally changing settings, make sure the
refrigerator is unplugged or the power is disconnected before
wiping the screen.
Do not over-saturate the cloth. Do not spray or wipe liquids
directly onto the screen. Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners
such as window sprays, scouring cleansers, flammable fluids,
cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents, nail polish remover,
bleaches or cleansers containing petroleum products. Do not use
paper towels, scouring pads, or other harsh cleaning tools. These
can scratch or damage materials.
6. 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:
Remove the base grille. See "Base Grille" graphic or "Base Grille"
section.
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.
7. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.
IMPORTANT: The refrigerator and freezer compartments, air tower and
dispenser lights are LEDs that cannot be changed by yourself. To order
replacement LED lightings, please, call Whirlpool service (1-800-253-1301
(U.S.A.) or 1-800-807-6777 (Canada).)

Power Interruptions

If the power will be out for 24 hours or less, keep the door or doors closed
(depending on your model) to help food stay cold and frozen.
If the power will be out for more than 24 hours, do one of the following:
Remove all frozen food and store it in a frozen food locker.
Place 2 lbs (907 g) of dry ice in the freezer for every cubic foot (28 L)
of freezer space. This will keep the food frozen for 2 to 4 days.
If neither a food locker nor dry ice is available, consume or can
perishable food at once.
REMEMBER: A full freezer stays cold longer than a partially filled one. A
freezer full of meat stays cold longer than a freezer full of baked goods. If
you see that food contains ice crystals, it may be refrozen, although the
quality and flavor may be affected. If the condition of the food is poor,
dispose of it.

Vacation and Moving Care

Vacations
If You Choose to Leave Refrigerator On While You Are Away:
1. Use up any perishables and freeze other items.
2. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker and is connected to
the household water supply, turn off the water supply to the
refrigerator. Property damage can occur if the water supply is not
turned off.

3. If you have an automatic ice maker, turn off the ice maker.
NOTE: Depending on your model, raise the wire shutoff arm to OFF
(up) position or press the switch to OFF.
4. Empty the ice bin.
If You Choose to Turn Refrigerator Off Before You Leave:
1. Remove all food from the refrigerator.
2. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker:
Turn off the water supply to the ice maker at least one day ahead
of time.
When the last load of ice drops, raise the wire shutoff arm to the
OFF (up) position or move the switch to the OFF setting.
3. Depending on the model, turn the Refrigerator Control to OFF or turn
cooling off. See "Using the Controls" in the User Instructions, User
Guide, or Use & Care Guide.
4. Clean, wipe, and dry thoroughly.
5. Tape rubber or wood blocks to the tops of both doors to prop them
open far enough for air to get in. This stops odor and mold from
building up.
Moving
When you are moving your refrigerator to a new home, follow these steps
to prepare it for the move.
1. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker:
Turn off the water supply to the ice maker at least one day ahead
of time.
Disconnect the water line from the back of the refrigerator.
When the last load of ice drops, raise the wire shutoff arm to the
OFF (up) position or move the switch to the OFF setting.
2. Remove all food from the refrigerator and pack all frozen food in dry
ice.
3. Empty the ice bin.
4. Depending on the model, turn the Refrigerator Control to OFF or turn
cooling off. See "Using the Controls" in the User Instructions, User
Guide, or Use & Care Guide.
5. Unplug refrigerator.
6. Clean, wipe, and dry thoroughly.
7. Take out all removable parts, wrap them well, and tape them
together so they don't shift and rattle during the move.
8. Depending on the model, raise the front of the refrigerator so it rolls
more easily or screw in the leveling legs so they don't scrape the floor.
See "Adjust the Doors" or "Door Removal, Leveling and Alignment."
9. Tape the doors closed and tape the power cord to the back of the
refrigerator.
When you get to your new home, put everything back and refer to the
Installation Instructions for preparation instructions. Also, if your
refrigerator has an automatic ice maker, remember to reconnect the water
supply to the refrigerator.
