Care & Cleaning - Frigidaire Compact Refrigerator Use And Care Manual

Keep your refrigerator and freezer clean to prevent odor build-up. Wipe up any spills immediately and clean both sections at
least twice a year. Never use metallic scouring pads, brushes, abrasive cleaners or strong alkaline solutions on any
surface. Do not wash any removable parts in a dishwasher. Always unplug the electrical power cord from the wall
outlet before cleaning.
• When moving the refrigerator, pull straight out. Do not shift the refrigerator from side to side as this may
damage the floor. Be careful not to move the refrigerator beyond the plumbing connections.
• Damp objects stick to cold metal surfaces. Do not touch refrigerated surfaces with wet or damp hands.
• Never use CHLORIDE to clean stainless steel.
NOTES:
• If you set your temperature controls to turn off cooling, power to lights and other electrical components continues
until you unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
• Do not use razor blades or other sharp instruments which can scratch the appliance surface when removing
adhesive labels. Any glue left from tape or labels can be removed with a mixture of warm water and mild
detergent, or, touch the glue residue with the sticky side of tape you have already removed. Do not remove the
serial plate.
