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.
DOOR LINERS AND GASKETS
Do not use cleaning waxes, concentrated
detergents, bleaches, or cleaners containing
petroleum on plastic refrigerator parts.
PLASTIC PARTS (covers and panels)
Do not use window sprays, abrasive cleansers, or
flammable fluids. These can scratch or damage
the material.
CONDENSER COILS
Remove base cover. (See the base cover section
on page 6.)
Use a vacuum cleaner with an extended
attachment to clean condenser coils.
Vacuum coils when dusty or dirty. Coils may
need to be cleaned as often as every other
month.
Replace grille base.
LIGHT BULB REPLACEMENT
NOTE:
Not all appliance bulbs will fit your
refrigerator. Be sure to replace the bulb with one
of the same size, shape and wattage.

the circuit breaker.
