General Cleaning Tips
Unplug fridge or disconnect power.
y
Remove all removable parts, such as
y
shelves, crispers, etc.
Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a
y
mild detergent in warm water. Do not
use abrasive or harsh cleaners.
Hand wash, rinse and dry all surfaces
y
thoroughly.
Exterior
Waxing external painted metal surfaces helps
provide rust protection. Do not wax plastic
parts. Wax painted metal surfaces at least
twice a year using appliance wax (or auto paste
wax). Apply wax with a clean, soft cloth.
For products with a stainless steel exterior,
use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild
detergent in warm water. Do not use abrasive
or harsh cleaners. Dry thoroughly with a soft
cloth.
Inside Walls (allow freezer to warm
up so the cloth will not stick)
To help remove odors, you can wash the inside
of the fridge with a mixture of baking soda
and warm water. Mix 2 tablespoons of baking
soda to 1 quart of water (26 g soda to 1 liter
water) Be sure the baking soda is completely
dissolved so it does not scratch the surfaces of
the fridge.
Door Liners and Gaskets
Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild
detergent in warm water. Do not use cleaning
waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches, or
cleaners containing petroleum on plastic fridge
parts.
Plastic Parts (covers and panels)
Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild
detergent in warm water. Do not use glass
cleaners, abrasive cleansers, or flammable
fluids. These can scratch or damage the
material.
Condenser Coils
Use a vacuum cleaner with an attachment to
clean the condenser cover and vents. Do not
remove the panel covering the condenser coil
area.
CAUTION
Do not use a rough cloth or sponge
y
when cleaning the interior and exterior
of the fridge.
Do not place your hand on the bottom
y
surface of the fridge when opening
and closing.
WARNING
Use non-flammable cleaner. Failure to do
so can result in fire, explosion, or death.
