CLEANING THE REFRIGERATOR

w w WARNING
Explosion Hazard
• Use nonflammable cleaner.
• Failure to do so can result in death,
explosion, or fire.
Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost
automatically. However, clean both sections
about once a month to prevent odors. Wipe up
spills immediately.
• Unplug the refrigerator or disconnect the power.
• Remove all removable parts, such as shelves
and crispers.
• 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 thoroughly dry all
surfaces.
• Plug in the refrigerator or reconnect the power.
NOTE: Window sprays, abrasive cleaners, or
flammable fluids can scratch or damage plastic
covers or panels.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Storage
During average-length vacations, you will
probably find it best to leave the refrigerator in
operation. Place freezable items in the freezer
for longer life.
When you plan to store the refrigerator, remove
all food, disconnect the power cord, clean the
interior thoroughly, and block the doors open to
prevent mold and mildew. Be certain the stored
refrigerator does not present a child entrapment
danger.
Moving
Unload the refrigerator to move it. (This is
probably not necessary when pulling it out to
clean behind it.) Be sure to let the refrigerator
warm up to room temperature, and dry the inside
before closing the doors to pack it for moving. To
avoid damaging the height-adjusting screws, turn
them all the way into the base.

Cleaning the Exterior
For models with a stainless steel exterior, use a
commercially available stainless steel cleaner in
accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
You may also 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.
IMPORTANT: Do not use cleaning waxes,
concentrated detergents, or cleaners containing
petroleum on plastic refrigerator parts such as
door liners or gaskets.
Care and Cleaning of the Interior
NOTE: Allow the freezer to warm so the cleaning
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 tbsp baking soda to 1 qt.
of water (26 g soda to 1 L of water). Be sure the
baking soda dissolves completely so it does not
scratch the surfaces of the refrigerator.
IMPORTANT: Do not use a spray nozzle to clean
the interior.
Power Failure
Most power failures that are corrected within an
hour or two will not affect your refrigerator
temperatures. However, you should minimize the
number of door openings while the power is off.
Water may drip from the ice bank and ice bin
during a power outage. To prevent this, remove
the ice bank and ice bin, discard all of the ice,
towel dry them, and replace them.
