Cleaning

WARNING
• Use non-flammable cleaner. Failure to do so
can result in fire, explosion, or death.
CAUTION
• Do not use an abrasive cloth or sponge
when cleaning the interior and exterior of the
refrigerator.
• Do not place your hand on the bottom
surface of the refrigerator when opening and
closing the doors.
General Cleaning Tips
• Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost
automatically; however, clean both sections
once a month to prevent odors.
• Wipe up spills immediately.
• Unplug the refrigerator or disconnect power
before cleaning.
• Remove all removable parts, such as shelves.
• 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.
• When cleaning the inside or outside of the
appliance, do not wipe it with a rough brush,
toothpaste, or flammable materials. Do not
use cleaning agents containing flammable
substances.
− This may cause discoloration or damage to
the appliance.
− Flammable substances: alcohol (ethanol,
methanol, isopropyl alcohol, isobutyl alcohol,
etc.), thinner, bleach, benzene, flammable
liquid, abrasive, etc.
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 black stainless steel exterior,
spray glass cleaner on a clean, microfiber cloth
and rub in direction of grain. Do not spray glass
cleaner directly at the display panel. Do not use
harsh or abrasive cleaners.
Inside Walls
• Allow freezer to warm up so the cloth will not
stick.
To help remove odors, wash the inside of the
refrigerator 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 refrigerator.
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
refrigerator 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 cleaners, or flammable fluids.
These can scratch or damage the material.
