GENERAL CLEANING TIPS
o Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
o Remove all removable parts, such as shelves,
crispers, etc. Refer to sections in Using Your

o Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent
in warm water. Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners.
o Hand wash, rinse and dry all surfaces thoroughly.

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 on 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, such as
degreasers, detergents (containing TSP) and
bleaches.
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.
DOOR LINERS AND GASKETS
Do not use cleaning waxes, concentrated detergent,
bleaches, or cleaners containing petroleum on plastic
refrigerator parts.
Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in
warm water. Wash, rinse and dry all surfaces thoroughly.
PLASTIC PARTS (covers and panels)
Do not use window sprays, abrasive cleaners, or
flammable fluids. These can scratch or damage the
material. Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild
detergent in warm water. Wash, rinse and dry all
surfaces thoroughly.
