GETTING AN ELECTRIC SHOCK.
Exterior
Cabinet
It is a good idea to polish the cabinet at least once a year,
using a high grade wax like the one you use on your car.
After that, an occasional wipe over with a clean, damp cloth
will help remove finger marks.
NOTE: Do not wax plastic parts or decorative trim.Wash these
in warm (not hot) water using an unscented detergent.
Doors - painted
Clean as described above for the cabinet.
Doors - stainless steel
Your stainless steel appliance is manufactured from a mark
resistant stainless steel. This stainless steel has a special
advanced protective coating that eases the removal of
marks such as finger prints and water spots. To keep your
stainless steel refrigerator looking at its best, you should
clean it regularly. You should only clean the stainless steel
doors with luke-warm soapy water and a soft cloth, rinsing
with clean water and then wipe the surface with a cloth to
remove soap residue.
It is important to wipe in the direction of the grain of the
stainless steel to avoid undue marking of the surface.
DO NOT USE STAINLESS STEEL
CLEANERS, ABRASIVE PADS OR OTHER
CLEANERS AS THEY ARE LIKELY TO
SCRATCH THE SURFACE. DAMAGE TO

Interior
You should clean the refrigerator interior regularly. It will
be easiest to clean when the food supply is low. Wash the
interior with a soft cloth and use an unscented mild soap with
luke-warm water. Thoroughly dry all surfaces and removable
parts. Avoid getting water on refrigerator controls. If you have
taken out any removable parts, replace them and switch
the power on before re-stocking the refrigerator with food.
Naturally, you should keep the interior of your refrigerator
hygienic by promptly and thoroughly wiping up any food
spills.
Keep the door seals clean
Take care to keep door seals clean. Sticky food and drink
can cause seals to stick to the cabinet and tear when you
open the door.Wash seal with a mild detergent and warm
water. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
WARNING:- Never use hot water, solvents, commercial
kitchen cleaners, aerosol cleaners, metal polishes,
caustic or abrasive cleaners, or scourers to clean this
appliance, as they will damage it. Many commercially
available cleaning products and detergents contain
solvents that will damage your refrigerator. When
cleaning, use only a soft cloth with an unscented mild
soap and luke warm water.
