Care and Cleaning
Cleaning the Outside
Clean the outside of the refrigerator with a mild solution of soapy water. Dry
thoroughly with a soft cloth. To clean the door gasket, use only mild, soapy
water. Never use harsh cleansers or scouring pads to clean any part of the
refrigerator.
Cleaning the Inside
Unplug the refrigerator and remove food, shelves and trays. Wash inside with
warm water and baking soda solution (about two tablespoons of baking soda
to a quart of water.) Then rinse and dry. Do not use cleansers such as soaps,
detergents, scouring powder or spray cleaners which can cause odors inside
the refrigerator.
Wash the ice cube tray, drip tray and shelves in mild detergent solution and
dry with a soft cloth. To help prevent odors, leave an open box of baking soda
in the refrigerator. Change the box every three months.
Do not wash any plastic parts from your refrigerator in the dishwasher.
NEVER USE ACIDS, GASOLINE/PAINT THINNER FOR CLEANING ANY
PART OF THE REFRIGERATOR. Never use boiling water which can deform
plastic parts.

thick. Never use a sharp or metallic instrument to remove frost as it may
damage the cooling coils. (A punctured cooling coil will cause serious
problems and void the warranty.) We recommend using a plastic scraper.
To defrost, remove foods and ice cube tray from the freezer compartment. Put
drip tray in place, and set thermostat to OFF position. Defrosting usually takes
a few hours. To defrost faster, keep the door open and place a bowl of warm
water in the refrigerator. After defrosting, empty water from the drip tray.
Wash the drip tray in warm water. Wipe the freezer compartment with a damp
cloth. Turn the thermostat to the desired setting and return food and ice tray
to the refrigerator.
