Proper Refrigerator Care
and Cleaning
Warning: To avoid electric shock always unplug your refrigerator before clean-
ing. Ignoring this warning may result in death or injury.
Caution: Before using cleaning products, always read and follow manufacturer’s
instructions and warnings to avoid personal injury or product damage.
General: • Prepare a cleaning solution of 3-4 tablespoons of baking soda mixed
with warm water. Use sponge or soft cloth, dampened with the clean-
ing solution, to wipe down your refrigerator.
• Rinse with clean warm water and dry with a soft cloth.
• Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasives, ammonia, chlorine bleach,
concentrated detergents, solvents or metal scouring pads. SOME of
these chemicals may dissolve, damage and/or discolor your refrigera-
tor.
Door Gaskets:
• Clean door gaskets every three months according to general instructions.
Gaskets must be kept clean and pliable to assure a proper seal.
• Petroleum jelly applied lightly on the hinge side of gaskets will keep
the gasket pliable and assure a good seal.
Rear Condenser Coils:
• We recommend that you clean the rear of the refrigerator at least
twice a year.
Note: Some operating environments may require more frequent
cleaning.
• After unplugging your refrigerator, use a vacuum or a brush to clean
the coils.
