The following are general cleaning guidelines. For detailed information on cleaning your
specific refrigerator, refer to the manufacturer’s user’s guide.
Cleaning the interior
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Hand wash, rinse, and dry removable parts and interior surfaces thoroughly. Use a clean
sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water.
3. For the inside of the refrigerator, use a warm water and baking soda solution
consisting of approximately 1 tablespoon (15ml) baking soda to 1 quart
(1 liter) of water. This solution both cleans and neutralizes odors. Rinse and wipe dry.
4. Leave an open box of baking soda in the refrigerator and freezer compartments to help
prevent odors.
There is no need for routine condenser cleaning in normal operating environments. If the
environment is particularly greasy or dusty, or if there is significant pet traffic, the condenser
should be cleaned every 2 to 3 months to ensure maximum efficiency.
If you need to clean the condenser:
Remove the base grille.
Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush to clean the grille, the open areas behind the
grille and the front surface area of the condenser.
Replace the base grille when finished.
Cleaning the exterior
Painted metal exteriors: wash with a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent
in warm water.
Stainless steel exteriors:
wash with a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in
warm water. Do not use appliance wax, polish, bleach, or other products containing chlorine
on stainless steel. Stainless steel can be cleaned with a commercially available stainless
steel cleaner. A spray-on stainless steel cleaner works best.
IMPORTANT: Do not allow the Stainless Steel Cleaner and Polish to come into contact
with any plastic parts such as the trim pieces, dispenser covers or door gaskets. If
unintentional contact does occur, clean plastic part with a sponge and mild detergent
in warm water. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
For silver-accented plastic parts, wash with soap or other mild detergents. Wipe clean with
a sponge or damp cloth. Do not use scouring pads, powdered cleaners, bleach or cleaners
containing bleach as these products can scratch and weaken the paint finish.
NOTE:
Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window
sprays, scouring cleansers, flammable fluids, cleaning waxes,
concentrated detergents, bleaches or cleansers containing petroleum
products on plastic parts, interior and door liners or gaskets. Do not
use paper towels, scouring pads, or other harsh cleaning tools.
