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.
Do not use appliance wax, bleach, or other products
containing chlorine on stainless steel.

CARE AND CLEANING

INSIDE WALLS (allow freezer to warm up so
the cloth will not 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 it does
not scratch the surfaces of the refrigerator.
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.

CONDENSER COILS

Use a vacuum cleaner with
an attachment to clean the
condenser cover and vents.
