Maintenance Tips

• Clean stainless steel correctly: Wipe with a soft microfiber cloth and mild soap, following the grain to maintain the integrated premium finish and avoid streaks or scratches.
• Avoid harsh cleaners: No ammonia, bleach, or abrasive pads—these can damage stainless surfaces and cabinet-matched panels.
• Maintain door gaskets: Clean seals regularly with warm soapy water to ensure airtight closure and stable cooling performance.
• Keep condenser area clean: Dust buildup reduces efficiency—vacuum coils and rear ventilation every 6–12 months for optimal cooling.
• Don’t block airflow inside: Avoid overpacking shelves so cold air circulates evenly between fridge and freezer zones.
• Monitor temperature consistency: Keep fridge around 37°F (3°C) and freezer near 0°F (-18°C) for food safety and compressor efficiency.
• Clean ice/water components (if installed): Wipe dispensers and water lines regularly to prevent mineral buildup and odor transfer.
• Check leveling and door alignment: Proper leveling ensures tight sealing and prevents strain on articulating hinges.
• Avoid placing near heat sources: Built-in units perform best away from ovens or direct sunlight to prevent compressor overwork.
• Use Smart features (if enabled): Keep monitoring alerts active for temperature changes or door-open warnings for early issue detection.
