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.
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 1liter water.) Be sure the baking soda is
completely dissolved so it does not scratch the surfaces of
the refrigerator.
A CAUTION: Whilecleaning the inside, do not spray water.

DOOR LINERS AND GASKETS

Do not use cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents,
bleaches, or cleaners containing petroleum on plastic
refrigerator parts.
PLASTIC PARTS (covers and panels)
Do not use window sprays, abrasive cleansers, or flammable
fluids. These can scratch or damage the material. 28

CONDENSER COILS

Remove Back cover.
Use a vacuum cleaner with an
extended attachment to clean
condenser coils. Vacuum coils
when dusty or dirty. Coils may
need to be cleaned as often as
every other month.

LIGHT BULB REPLACEMENT

Electrical Shock Hazard
Before replacing a burned-out light bulb, either unplug
the refrigerator or turn off power at the circuit breaker
or fuse box.
