Whirlpool EF19MK manual Cleaning chart, Cleaning your refrigerator

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.
