We recommend that you clean the rear of the refrigerator at least twice a year.
Some operating environments may require more frequent cleaning.
• Slowly pull the refrigerator straight out away from the wall.
Note: Do not move the refrigerator sideways as this may cause damage to the
floor covering of your refrigerator.
• Unplug the refrigerator.
• Use a vacuum or a brush to clean coils.
• When cleaning has been completed, plug the cord back into the outlet and slide
the refrigerator straight back to its original position.
Note: When pushing it back, be sure not to roll over the power cord.

may result in death or injury.
Before using cleaning products, always read and
follow manufacturer's instructions and warnings to

• Prepare a cleaning solution of 3-4 tablespoons of
baking soda mixed with warm water. Use sponge or
soft cloth, dampened with the cleaning
solution, to wipe down your refrigerator.

pliable to ensure a proper seal.
