USE AND CARE

WARNING

Explosion Hazard

Use non-ammable cleaner.

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or re.

Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost

automatically. However, clean both sections about once a

month to prevent odors. Wipe up spills immediately.

GENERAL CLEANING TIPS

• Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

• Remove all removable parts, such as shelves, crispers, etc.

Refer to sections in Using Your Refrigerator for removal

instructions.

• 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.

• Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.

OUTSIDE

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. Do not use

wax stainless steel exteriors. Use a product specially designed

for polishing stainless steel appliances, or clean with a soft

cloth or clean sponge and a mild detergent dissolved in warm

water. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.

NOTE: Avoid door surface contact with chemical products

that contain Phosphate or Chlorine, such as degreasers,

detergents (containing TSP) and bleaches.

INSIDE WALLS

NOTE: Allow freezer to warm up so cloth will not stick.

To help remove odors, you can wash the inside of the

refrigerator with a mixture of baking soda and warm water.

Mix 2 tablespoons 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 refrigerator.

DOOR LINERS AND GASKETS

Do not use cleaning waxes, concentrated detergent, bleaches,

or cleaners containing petroleum on plastic refrigerator parts.

Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in

warm water. Wash, rinse and dry all surfaces thoroughly.

PLASTIC PARTS (covers and panels)

Do not use window sprays, abrasive cleaners, or ammable

uids. These can scratch or damage the material. Use a clean

sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water.

Wash, rinse and dry all surfaces thoroughly.
