detergent in warm water.Do not use abrasive or
harsh cleaners.

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

detergents, bleaches, or cleaners containing
petroleum on plastic refrigerator parts.
