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.

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.

Use a product specially designed for polishing stainless
steel appliances, or clean with a soft cloth or clean
sponge and a mild detergent dissolved in warm water.
Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
NOTE: Avoid door surface contact with chemical
products that contain Phosphate or Chlorine.
INSIDE WALLS (allow freezer to warm up so
cloth won't stick)
To help remove odors, you can wash the inside of the
refrigerator and freezer 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 completely dissolves so it does not scratch
the surfaces of the refrigerator.

bleaches or cleaners containing petroleum on plastic
parts. Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild
detergent in warm water. Wash, rinse and dry all
surfaces thoroughly.
