REFRIGERATOR USE

CLEANING

Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost
automatically. However, clean both sections about once a
month to avoid buildup of odors. Wipe up spills immediately.
Because air circulates between both sections, any odors
formed in one section will transfer to the other. You must
thoroughly clean both sections to eliminate odors. To avoid
odor transfer and drying out of food, wrap or cover foods
tightly.
IMPORTANT:
• Do not use harsh chemicals, ammonia, chlorine bleach,
concentrated detergent, solvents, abrasives or metal
scouring pads to clean your product inside or out. They
can damage and/or discolor the refrigerator finish.
CAUTION
Do not clean glass shelves or covers
with warm water when they are cold. Shelves and covers
may break if exposed to sudden temperature changes or
impact, such as bumping. Tempered glass is designed to
shatter into many small, pebble-size pieces. This is normal.
Glass shelves and covers are heavy. Use both hands when
removing them to avoid dropping.
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Unplug your appliance or disconnect power before cleaning.
Failure to do so can result in death, electric shock or
personal injury.
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Using a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent
dissolved in warm water, wash removable parts and the
interior surfaces. Rinse well and dry thoroughly.
3. Clean the exterior surfaces.
Painted metal: Wash painted metal exteriors with a
clean, soft cloth or sponge and a mild detergent in warm
water. Rinse surfaces with clean, warm water and dry
immediately to avoid water spots.
Stainless steel: Stainless steel is corrosion resistant
and not corrosion-proof. To help avoid corrosion of
your stainless steel, wash stainless steel surfaces with a
clean, soft cloth or sponge and a mild detergent in warm
water. Rinse surfaces with clean, warm water and dry
immediately to avoid water spots.
NOTE: When cleaning stainless steel, always wipe in the
direction of the grain to avoid cross-grain scratching.
