General Cleaning Tips

Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

Remove all removable parts, such as 
shelves, crispers, etc. 
 
%
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.
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 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 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 
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. 
 
WARNING
Use non-flammable cleaner. Failure to do 
so can result in fire, explosion, or death.
