CARE & CLEANING

Keeping your refrigerator clean maintains appearance and prevents odor build-up. Wipe up any spills immediately and clean the freezer 

and fresh food compartments at least twice a year. When cleaning, take the following precautions:

CAUTION

•  Pull the refrigerator straight out to move it. Shifting it from side to side may damage flooring. Be careful not to move the 

refrigerator beyond the plumbing connections.

•  Damp objects stick to cold metal surfaces. Do not touch refrigerated surfaces with wet or damp hands.

NOTE

Do not use abrasive cleaners such as window sprays, scouring cleansers, flammable fluids, cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents, 

bleaches or cleansers containing petroleum products on plastic parts, interior doors, gaskets or cabinet liners.  Do not use paper 

towels, scouring pads, or other abrasive cleaning materials.
