waxes, concentrated
detergents,
bleaches or cleansers
containing
petroleum products on plastic parts, interior
and door liners or gaskets. Do not use paper towels,
scouring pads, or other harsh cleaning tools. These can
scratch or damage materials.
To help remove odors, you can wash interior walls with a
mixture of warm water and baking soda (2 tbs. to 1 qt.
[26 g to 0.95 L] of water).

To keep your stainless steel refrigerator looking like new
and to remove minor scuffs or marks, it is suggested that
you use the manufacturer's
approved Stainless Steel
Cleaner & Polish.
IMPORTANT: This cleaner is for stainless steel parts only!
Do not allow the Stainless Steel Cleaner & Polish to come
into contact with any plastic parts such as the trim pieces
or door gaskets. If accidental contact does occur, clean
plastic part with a sponge and mild detergent in warm
water. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. To order the
cleaner, see the "Accessories"
section.
5. Replace the removable parts.
6. Clean the condenser coils regularly. They are located at the
back of the cabinet. Coils may need to be cleaned as often as
every other month. This may help save energy.
Use a vacuum with an extended attachment to clean the
condenser coils when they are dusty or dirty.
