REFRIGERATOR 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 avoid odor
buildup. Wipe up spills immediately.
IMPORTANT: Because air circulates between both sections, any
odors formed in one section will transfer to the other. You must
thoroughly clean both sections to eliminate odors. To avoid odor
transfer and drying out of food, wrap or cover foods tightly.
To Clean Your Refrigerator:
NOTE: Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window
sprays, scouring cleansers, flammable fluids, cleaning waxes,
concentrated detergents, bleaches or cleansers containing
petroleum products on plastic parts, interior and door liners or
gaskets. Do not use paper towels, scouring pads, or other harsh
cleaning tools.
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Hand wash, rinse, and dry removable parts and interior
surfaces thoroughly. Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a
mild detergent in warm water.
3. Wash stainless steel and painted metal exteriors with a clean
sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water.
To keep your stainless steel refrigerator looking like new
■
and to remove minor scuffs or marks, it is suggested
that you use the manufacturer's approved Stainless Steel
Cleaner and Polish, Part Number 20000008. To order the
cleaner, call 1-800-901-2042 U.S.A. or 1-800-807-6777
Canada.

Cleaning

IMPORTANT: This cleaner is for stainless steel parts only!
Do not allow the Stainless Steel Cleaner and Polish to come
into contact with any plastic parts such as the trim pieces,
dispenser covers or door gaskets. If unintentional contact
does occur, clean plastic part with a sponge and mild
detergent in warm water. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
4. There is no need for routine condenser cleaning in normal
home operating environments. If the environment is
particularly greasy or dusty, or there is significant pet traffic
in the home, the condenser should be cleaned every 2 to 3
months to ensure maximum efficiency.
If you need to clean the condenser:
Remove the base grille.
■
Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush to clean the grille,
■
the open areas behind the grille and the front surface area
of the condenser.
Replace the base grille when finished.
