General Cleaning Tips
%
Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
%

shelves, crispers, etc.
%
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.
Exterior
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 the
cloth will not 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 of
baking soda to 1 quart of water (26 g soda
to 1 liter water). Be sure the baking soda is
completely dissolved so it does not scratch the
surfaces of the refrigerator.
Door Liners and Gaskets
Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild
detergent in warm water. Do not use cleaning
waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches,
or cleaners containing petroleum on plastic
refrigerator parts.
Plastic Parts (covers and panels)
Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild
detergent in warm water. Do not use glass
cleaners, abrasive cleansers, or flammable
fluids. These can scratch or damage the
material.
Condenser Coils
Use a vacuum cleaner with an attachment to
clean the condenser cover and vents. Do not
remove the panel covering the condenser coil
area.
CAUTION
%
Do not use a rough cloth or sponge
when cleaning the interior and exterior
of the refrigerator.
%
Do not place your hand on the bottom
surface of the refrigerator when
opening and closing.
WARNING
Use non-flammable cleaner. Failure to do
so can result in fire, explosion, or death.
