Your stainless steel refrigerator is manufactured
from mark-resistant stainless steel. This
stainless steel has a special advanced protective
coating that eases the removal of marks such
as fingerprints and water spots. To keep its
appearance, clean it regularly with lukewarm
soapy water and a soft cloth.
CAUTION
Never use stainless steel cleaners, abrasive pads
or other cleaners that will scratch the surface.
Damage to the appliance after delivery is not
covered by your warranty.
Interior
Clean the inside of your refrigerator regularly with a
soft cloth, unscented mild soap and lukewarm water.
Thoroughly dry all surfaces and removable parts and
avoid getting water on the controls. Replace removable
parts, plug power cord in and switch the power on before
returning the food.
