Care & Cleaning
Protecting your investment
Keeping your refrigerator clean maintains its appearance and prevents odor build-up. Wipe up
any spills immediately and clean the freezer and fresh food compartments at least twice a year.
NOTE
Do not use abrasive cleaners such as window sprays, scouring cleansers, flammable
fluids, cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches, or cleansers containing
petroleum products on plastic parts, interior doors, gaskets, or cabinet liners. Do not
use paper towels, scouring pads, or other abrasive cleaning materials.
• Never use metallic scouring pads, brushes, abrasive cleaners, or strong alkaline
solutions on any surface.
• Never use CHLORIDE or cleaners with bleach to clean stainless steel.
• Do not wash any removable parts in a dishwasher.
• Always unplug the electrical power cord from the wall outlet before cleaning.
• Remove adhesive labels by hand. Do not use razor blades or other sharp instruments
which can scratch the appliance surface.
• Do not remove the serial plate. Removal of your serial plate voids your warranty.
Refer to the guide on the next page for details on caring and cleaning specific areas
of your refrigerator.
CAUTION
Pull the refrigerator straight out to move it. Shifting it from side to side may damage
flooring.
Damp objects stick to cold metal surfaces. Do not touch refrigerated surfaces with
