CLEANING YOUR
REFRIGERATOR
Both the refrigerator and freezer sections
defrost automatically. However, clean both
sections about once a month to prevent odors
from building up. Wipe up spills immediately.
To clean your refrigerator.
■ Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
■ Remove all removable parts from inside,
such as 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.
■ Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.
■ Additional cleaning tips are listed below:

COMMENTS
■ 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.
■ To help remove odors, you
can wash the inside of the
refrigerator with a mixture of
baking soda and warm water.
Mix 2 tablespoons soda to 1
quart of water (26 g soda to 1
liter water.) Be sure the soda
is completely dissolved so it
is not abrasive and doesn’t
scratch the surfaces of the
refrigerator.
■ Do not use cleaning waxes,
concentrated detergents,
bleaches, or cleaners
containing petroleum on
plastic parts.
■ Do not use paper towels,
window sprays, abrasive
cleansers, or flammable
fluids. These can scratch or
damage material.
■ Remove base grille. (See
the Base grille section on
page 6.)
■ Use a vacuum with an
extended attachment to
clean condenser coils.
■ Vacuum coils when dusty or
dirty.
Coils may need to be
cleaned as often as every
other month.
■ Replace base grille.
Explosion Hazard
Use nonflammable cleaner.
Failure to do so can result in death,
explosion, or fire.
