APPLIANCE CARE
Cleaning Your Frost-Free Refrigerator
Use nonflammable cleaners.
Frost-free means that you do not have to defrost your appliance. Frost is removed by air moving and collecting any
moisture and depositing it on the cooling coil. The cooling coil periodically warms up enough to melt the frost, and the
water then flows down to the drain pan (located behind the base grill) where it is evaporated.
Complete cleaning should be done at least once a year.
1. Unplug appliance or disconnect power.
2. Remove all substances.
3. Wash the inside walls with a solution of mild detergent in warm water or 2 tbs (26 g) baking soda to 1 qt (0.95 L) warm
water.
 Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window sprays, scouring cleansers, flammable fluids, cleaning
waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches or cleansers containing petroleum products on plastic parts, interior and
door liners or gaskets. Do not use paper towels, scouring pads, or other harsh cleaning tools. These can scratch or
damage materials.
4. Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth.
5. Use the appropriate cleaning method for your exterior finish.
Painted metal: Wash exteriors with a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Do not use
abrasive or harsh cleaners, or cleaners designed for stainless steel. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. For additional
protection against damage to painted metal exteriors, apply appliance wax (or auto paste wax) with a clean, soft cloth.
Do not wax plastic parts.
6. Plug in appliance or reconnect power.
7. Replace all containers.
Stainless steel: Clean stainless steel with special stainless steel cleaners only. Do not use bleach or any abrasive
cleaners.
Cleaning your cycle defrost or manual defrost refrigerator
Cycle defrost models utilize a system where ice builds up on the rear wall and melts when the compressor is off. Manual
defrost models continually build ice on inner walls.
NEVER USE A METAL OBJECT TO REMOVE ICE FROM THE REAR WALL. IF NEEDED, USE A PLASTIC ICE-
SCRAPER OR A HAIR DRYER.
Clean surfaces, using the same instructions as for frost-free models.
For CSS Models (completely stainless steel) or models with stainless steel doors and handles, please
use only cleaners especially made for stainless steel.
