Care and cleaning of the refrigerator. Cleaning the Outside Keep the outside clean. Wipe with a clean cloth lightly dampened with kitchen appliance wax or mild liquid dish detergent.

Defrosting (on manual defrost models with freezer area) Defrost whenever frost on the wall of the ice tray compartment becomes 1/4 ″ thick.
