Your refrigerator is built to give you many years of
dependable service. However, there are a few things you
can do to help extend its product life. This section tells you
how to clean your refrigerator and what to do when going
on vacation, moving, or during a power outage.
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 it.
• 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.

Use nonflammable cleaner.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion,
or fire.
