APPLIANCE CARE
Cleaning a frost-free appliance (including models beginning
with EQFF, EQFR, SCUF, and SCUR)
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 contents.
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 surfaces.
4. Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth.
5. Use the appropriate cleaning method for the 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.
Cleaning a cycle defrost or manual defrost appliance
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), only use cleaners
especially made for stainless steel.
