Cleaning Your Refrigerator
Clean the refrigerator about once a month to keep odors from
building up. Wipe up spills immediately.
To Clean Your Refrigerator:
Complete cleaning should be done at least once a year.
1. Press and hold TEMP SETTING for 3 seconds to turn off
cooling.
2. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
3. Remove all removable parts from inside, such as shelves,
crispers, etc.
4. Hand wash, rinse, and dry removable parts and interior
surfaces thoroughly. Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a
mild detergent in 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.
To help remove odors, you can wash interior walls with a
mixture of warm water and baking soda
(2 tbs to 1 qt [26 g to 0.95 L] of water).
5. Replace the removable parts.
6. Use the appropriate cleaning method for your exterior nish.
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.
7. Clean the condenser coils regularly. Coils may need to be
cleaned as often as every other month. This may help save
energy.
Open the refrigerator door and remove the base grille by
removing 2 Phillips-head screws and pulling the grille
toward you.
Use a vacuum with an extended attachment to clean the
condenser coils when they are dusty or dirty.
Replace the base grille by aligning the ends of the grille
with the leveling assemblies on each side and snapping
the grille into place. Reinstall the screws.
8. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.
9. Set temperature control to desired setting. See “Using the
Control.”
