Kickstrip grilles and kickstrip filter

Your refrigerator is fitted with a kickstrip grille and filter to protect the internal

working components. We recommend cleaning the grille and filter in conjunction with

changing your water filter cartridge (every 6months).

To maximize operating efficiency keep ventilation openings clear of obstructions by

regularly vacuuming the flooring in front of your appliance.



More frequent cleaning may be necessary for dusty homes or those with pets

sheddinghair.
