General Cleaning Tips


Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
Remove all removable parts, such as shelves,

crispers, etc.
Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild

detergent in warm water. Do not use abrasive
or harsh cleaners.
Hand wash, rinse and dry all surfaces

thoroughly.
Exterior
Waxing external painted metal surfaces helps
provide rust protection. Do not wax plastic parts.
Wax painted metal surfaces at least twice a year
using appliance wax (or auto paste wax). Apply wax
with a clean, soft cloth.
For products with a stainless steel exterior, use 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.
CAUTION
Do not use a rough cloth or sponge when

cleaning the interior and exterior of the
refrigerator.
Do not place your hand on the bottom surface

of the refrigerator when opening and closing.
WARNING
Use non-flammable cleaner. Failure to do so can
result in fire, explosion, or death.
Inside Walls (allow freezer to warm
up so the cloth will not stick)
To help remove odors, you can wash the inside of
the refrigerator with a mixture of baking soda and
warm water. Mix 2 tablespoons of baking soda to 1
quart of water (26 g soda to 1 liter water). Be sure
the baking soda is completely dissolved so it does
not scratch the surfaces of the refrigerator.

Door Liners and Gaskets

Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent
in warm water. Do not use cleaning waxes,
concentrated detergents, bleaches, or cleaners
containing petroleum on plastic refrigerator parts.
Plastic Parts (covers and panels)
Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent
in warm water. Do not use glass cleaners, abrasive
cleansers, or flammable fluids. These can scratch or
damage the material.
Light (LED) replacement
NOTE: Do not remove the LED, it is only to be
removed by a qualified technician.
WARNING
In case of replacement, the new LED should be
same specification as the original.

Condenser Coils

the condenser cover and vents. Do not remove the
