Care and Cleaning
Keep your refrigerator clean to prevent odor build-up.
Wipe up any spills immediately and clean at least twice
a year.
never use metallic scouring pads, brushes,
abrasive cleaners or strong alkaline solutions on
any surface.
do not wash any removable parts in a
dishwasher.
Always unplug the electrical power cord
from the wall outlet before cleaning.
cautiOn
• When moving the refrigerator, pull straight out. Do
not shift the refrigerator from side-to-side as this
may tear or gouge the floor covering.
• Damp objects stick to cold metal surfaces. Do not
touch interior metal surfaces with wet or damp
hands.
nOte
• Turning the refrigerator temperature control to “OFF”
turns off the compressor, but does not disconnect
electrical power to the light bulb or other electrical
components. To turn off power to your refrigerator,
you must unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
• Do not use razor blades or other sharp instruments
which can scratch the appliance surface when
removing adhesive labels. Any glue left from tape or
labels can be removed with a mixture of warm water
and mild detergent, or, touch the glue residue with the
sticky side of tape you have already removed. Do not
remove the serial plate.
