w w WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Use non-flammable cleaner.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion,
or fire.
Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost
automatically. However, clean both sections
about once a month to prevent odors. Wipe up
spills immediately.
GENERAL CLEANING TIPS
• Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
• Remove all removable parts, such as shelves,
crispers, etc. Refer to sections in Using Your
Refrigerator for removal instructions.
• 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.
• Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.
OUTSIDE
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.
INSIDE WALLS (allow freezer to
warm up so cloth won't 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 baking soda
to 1 quart of water (26 g soda to 1 liter water.) Be
sure the baking soda is completely dissolved so
does it not scratch the surfaces of the
refrigerator.
w w CAUTION: While cleaning the inside, do not
spray water.
DOOR LINERS AND GASKETS
Do not use cleaning waxes, concentrated
detergents, bleaches, or cleaners containing
petroleum on plastic refrigerator parts.
PLASTIC PARTS (covers and panels)
Do not use window sprays, abrasive cleansers, or
flammable fluids. These can scratch or damage
the material.

LIGHT BULB REPLACEMENT
w w WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Before replacing a burned-out light bulb, either
unplug the refrigerator or turn off power at the
circuit breaker or fuse box.

refrigerator. Be sure to replace the bulb with one
of the same size, shape and wattage.
To change Refrigerator Light Bulbs
1. Unplug Refrigerator, or disconnect power at
the circuit breaker.

3. Using a flat instrument, gently pry the lamp cover
loose in the front as shown. Rotate downward to
remove rear tabs.
