Care And Cleaning

WARNING
Before cleaning your refrigerator, ALWAYS unplug it from the power source. Failure to heed this
warning could result in injury or death from electric shock.
NOTE: Before using any cleaning products, be sure to read the manufacturer's instructions and warnings. This will
help avoid personal injury or damage to property.
CLEANING THE INSIDE
Prepare a cleaning solution of 3-4 tablespoons of
baking soda mixed with warm water. Use a sponge
or soft cloth, dampened with the cleaning solution,
to wipe the inside of your refrigerator.
CAUTION
Do not clean glass shelves with warm
water when they are cold. Glass shelves may break if
exposed to sudden temperature changes or impact such as
bumping or dropping. Tempered glass is designed to shatter
into many small pieces if it breaks.
Do not wash any plastic freezer parts, glass or wire
shelves in dishwasher.

hardware and liners. If unintentional contact of cleaners with plastic parts does occur, clean plastic part with a sponge
and mild detergent mixed with warm water.
