Cleaning your refrigerator
Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost
automatically. But both should be cleaned about once a month to help prevent odors from building up. Of course, spills should be wiped up right away.
To clean your refrigerator, turn the Temperature Control to OFF, unplug it, take out all removable
parts, and clean it according to the following directions.
