CARE AND CLEANINGCLEANING THE REFRIGERATOR
Caring for your refrigerator prolongs the life of your appliance
and helps keep it odor- and germ-free.

Cleaning the Interior

Clean the inside walls and accessories with a mild detergent
and then wipe dry with a soft cloth. You can remove the
drawers and shelves for a more thorough cleaning. Just
make sure to dry drawers and shelves before putting them
back into place.

Cleaning the Exterior

Wipe the display panel with a damp, clean, soft cloth. Do not
spray water directly on the surface of the refrigerator.
The doors, handles, and cabinet surfaces should be cleaned
with a mild detergent and then wiped dry with a soft cloth.
To keep your appliance looking its best, the exterior should
be polished once or twice a year.
