CARE AND CLEANING

Protecting your investment

Keeping your appliance clean maintains 

appearance and prevents odor build-up. 

Wipe up any spills immediately and clean 

the appliance at least twice a year. When 

cleaning, take the following precautions:

•  Never use CHLORIDE or cleaners 

with bleach to clean stainless steel.

•  Do not wash any removable parts in  

a dishwasher.

•  Always unplug the electrical power cord 

from the wall outlet before cleaning.

•  Remove adhesive labels by hand. Do 

not use razor blades or other sharp 

instruments which can scratch the 

appliance surface.

•  Do not remove the serial plate.

NOTE

If you set your temperature controls 

to turn off cooling, power to lights and 

other electrical components will contin-

ue until you unplug the power cord from 

the wall outlet.

Do not use abrasive cleaners such as win-

dow sprays, scouring cleansers, brushes, 

flammable fluids, cleaning waxes, concen-

trated detergents, bleaches or cleansers 

containing petroleum products on plastic 

parts, interior doors, gaskets or cabinet 

liners. Do not use paper towels, metallic 

scouring pads, or other abrasive cleaning 

materials or strong alkaline solutions.

Some upright freezers are frost-free and 

defrost automatically, but should be 

cleaned occasionally.
