Old cubes will become cloudy and taste stale. Empty
the ice storage bin periodically and wash it in
lukewarm water.
Cleaning
Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning. If this is

or cloth while cleaning in the vicinity of switches,
lights or controls. Wash the inside with a warm water
and baking soda solution using about two tablespoons
of baking soda to a quart of water. Then rinse and dry.
Do not use cleaners such as soaps, detergents,
scouring powders or spray cleaners on the inside
of the refrigerator because they may cause odors
and damage the inside surfaces.
Wash the ice storage bin with a mild detergent
solution and dry it with a soft cloth.
Wipe the outside of the refrigerator with a clean,
soft cloth dampened with soapy water or Appliance

Defrosting
Defrosting takes place automatically after the
compressor has run about 12 hours. Food or ice
clogging the drip tray or the area under the drip tray
may affect the defrost operation. Remove anything
that gets into this area.
If the icemaker is turned off for a long time, it may
frost up and need to be defrosted by hand.
At the end of the defrost cycle, water droplets maybe
left on the evaporator and in the drip tray. This is
normal. They will refreeze and be removed in the next
defrost cycle.
