MAINTENANCE

Cleaning

yy Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost automatically; however, clean both sections about once a month to prevent odors.

yy Wipe up spills immediately.

yy Always unplug the refrigeration before cleaning.

General Cleaning Tips

yy Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

yy Remove all removable parts, such as shelves, crispers, etc.

yy Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners.

yy Hand wash, rinse and dry all surfaces thoroughly.

Exterior

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.

Caution

yy Do not use a rough cloth or sponge when cleaning the interior and exterior of the refrigerator.

yy Do not place your hand on the bottom surface of the refrigerator when opening and closing.

Warning

Inside Walls (allow freezer to warm up so the 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 of 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

Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Do not use cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches, or cleaners containing petroleum on plastic refrigerator parts.

Plastic Parts (covers and panels)

Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Do not use window sprays, abrasive cleansers, or flammable fluids. These can scratch or damage the material.

Condenser Coils

Use a vacuum cleaner with an attachment to clean the condenser cover and vents. Do not remove the panel covering the condenser coil area.

Use non-flammable cleaner. Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion, or death.
