FILTER CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING
EXPLOSION HAZARD
Use non-flammable cleaner. Failure to do so can result
in death, explosion, or fire.
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.
Do not use wax on stainless steel exteriors. Use a
product specially designed for polishing stainless steel
appliances, or clean with a soft cloth or clean sponge and
a mild detergent dissolved in warm water. Dry thoroughly
with a soft cloth.
NOTE: Avoid door surface contact with chemical
products that contain Phosphate or Chlorine,
such as degraders, detergents (containing TSP)
and bleaches.
INSIDE WALLS
NOTE: Allow freezer to warm up so 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 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
Do not use cleaning waxes, concentrated detergent,
bleaches, or cleaners containing petroleum on plastic
refrigerator parts. Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and
a mild detergent in warm water. Wash, rinse and dry all
surfaces thoroughly.
PLASTIC PARTS (covers and panels)
Do not use window sprays, abrasive cleaners, or
flammable fluids. These can scratch or damage the
material. Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild
detergent in warm water. Wash, rinse and dry all surfaces
thoroughly.

POWER INTERRUPTIONS
1. If the power will be out for 24 hours or less, keep all
refrigerator doors closed to help foods stay cold and
frozen.
2. If the power will be out for more than 24 hours:
a) Remove all frozen food and store it in a frozen food
locker.
OR
b) Place 2 lbs. (1 kg) of dry ice in the freezer for every
cubic foot (28 L) of freezer space. This will keep the food
frozen for two to four days. While handling dry ice, wear
gloves to protect your hands from frostbite.
WARNING
SUFFOCATION HAZARD
When using dry ice, provide adequate ventilation,
Dry ice is frozen carbon dioxide (CO
2
). When it
vaporizes, it can displace oxygen, causing dizziness,
light-headedness, unconsciousness and death by
suffocation. Open a window and do not breathe the
vapors.
OR
c) If neither a food locker nor dry ice is available, consume
or dispose of food at once.
