Cleaning
WARNING
• Use non-flammable cleaner. Failure to do so can
result in fire, explosion, or death.
CAUTION
• Do not use an abrasive 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 the
doors.
General Cleaning Tips
• The refrigerator defrosts automatically; however,
clean it once a month to prevent odors.
• Wipe up spills immediately.
• Unplug the refrigerator or disconnect power before
cleaning.
• Remove all removable parts, such as racks.
• 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.
• When cleaning the inside or outside of the
appliance, do not wipe it with a rough brush,
toothpaste, or flammable materials. Do not use
cleaning agents containing flammable substances.
− Doing so may cause discoloration or damage to
the appliance.
− Flammable substances: alcohol (ethanol,
methanol, isopropyl alcohol, isobutyl alcohol,
etc.), thinner, bleach, benzene, flammable liquid,
abrasive, etc.
Inside Walls
To help remove odors, 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.
Storage Racks and 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.
