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.
Do not use wax stainless steel exteriors. 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 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.
