ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD.
Do
NOT
spray liquids near electrical components,
outlets, or connections. Failure to obey this warning
could result in death or serious injury.
Do
NOT
use strong chemicals or
abrasives to clean parts, as their protective surfac-
es will be damaged.
Always keep refrigerator clean. A clean refrigerator
reduces odors and helps prevent stains from devel-
oping. Follow the recommended cleaning schedule:
●
Clean spills immediately.
●
Thoroughly clean immediately after defrosting.
●
Clean before storing refrigerator, or when taking
out of storage (before use).
●
Thoroughly clean lower and upper food com-
partments once every 3 months (during continu-
ous use).
Discard expired items. Clean shelves,
door shelves, baskets, and bins.

tor:

Mix 4 tablespoons of baking soda to 1 quart
of warm water.
b. Wipe down surfaces with baking soda solu-
tion.
c. Wipe down surfaces with warm water to re-
move baking soda solution.
