CLEANING THE REFRIGERATOR

&WARNING

Explosion Hazard

Use nonflammable 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.

Unplug the refrigerator.

Remove all removable parts, such as shelves and crispers.

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 thoroughly dry all surfaces.

Plug in the refrigerator.

NOTE: Window sprays, abrasive cleaners, or flammable fluids can scratch or damage plastic covers or panels.

Cleaning the Exterior

For models with a stainless steel exterior, use a commercially available stainless steel cleaner in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.

You may also 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.

IMPORTANT: Do not use cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents, or cleaners containing petroleum on plastic refrigerator parts such as door liners or gaskets.

Care and Cleaning of the Interior

NOTE: Allow the freezer to warm so the cleaning

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 tbsp. baking soda to 1 qt. of water (26 g soda to 1 L of water). Be sure the baking soda dissolves completely so it does not scratch the surfaces of the refrigerator.

IMPORTANT: Do not use a spray nozzle to clean the interior.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Storage

During average-length vacations, you will probably find it best to leave the refrigerator in operation. Place freezable items in the freezer for longer life.

When you plan to store the refrigerator, remove all food, disconnect the power cord, clean the interior thoroughly, and block the doors open to prevent mold and mildew. Be certain the stored refrigerator does not present a child entrapment danger.

Moving

Unload the refrigerator to move it. (This is probably not necessary when pulling it out to clean behind it.) Be sure to let the refrigerator warm up to room temperature, and dry the inside before closing the doors to pack it for moving. To avoid damaging the height-adjusting screws, turn them all the way into the base.

Power Failure

Most power failures that are corrected within an hour or two will not affect your refrigerator temperatures. However, you should minimize the number of door openings while the power is off.

Water may drip from the ice bin during a power outage. To prevent this, remove the ice bin, discard all of the ice, towel dry, and replace.
