CARE AND CLEANING

Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost

automatically. However,clean both sections about

once a month to prevent odors. Wipe up spills

immediately.

GENERAL CLEANING TIPS

• Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
• Remove all removable parts, such as shelves,

crispers, etc. Refer to sections in Using Your

Refrigerator for removal instructions.

• Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild

detergent in warm water.Do not use abrasive or

harsh cleaners.

• Hand wash, rinse and dry all surfaces

thoroughly.

• Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.

OUTSIDE

Waxing external painted metal surfaces helps

provide rust protection. Do not wax plastic parts.

Wax painted metal surfaces at least twice a year

using appliance wax (or auto paste wax). Apply

wax with a clean, soft cloth.
For products with a stainless steel exterior, use a

clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in

warm water. Do not use abrasive or harsh

cleaners. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.

INSIDE WALLS (allow freezer to

warm up so cloth won’t stick)

To help remove odors, you can wash the inside

of the refrigerator with a mixture of baking soda

and warm water. Mix 2 tablespoons baking soda

to 1 quart of water (26 g soda to 1 liter water.) Be

sure the baking soda is completely dissolved so

does it not scratch the surfaces of the

refrigerator.

CAUTION: While cleaning the inside, do not

spray water.

detergents, bleaches, or cleaners containing

petroleum on plastic refrigerator parts.

flammable fluids. These can scratch or damage the

material.

condenser coils.Vacuum coils

when dusty or dirty.Coils may

need to be cleaned as often

as every other month.
