Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost
automatically. However, clean both sections about once
a month to prevent odors. Wipe up spills immediately.
GENERAL CLEANING TIPS
• Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
• Remove all removable parts, such as shelves,
crispers, etc. Refer to sections in Using Your
Refrigerator for removal instructions.
• 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.
• Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.
OUTSIDE
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
cloth won’t 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 baking soda to 1 quart of water (26 g
soda to 1 liter water.) Be sure the baking soda is
completely dissolved so does it not scratch the surfaces
of the refrigerator.
ww
CAUTION: While cleaning the inside, do not spray water.
DOOR LINERS AND GASKETS
Do not use cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents,
bleaches, or cleaners containing petroleum on plastic
refrigerator parts.
PLASTIC PARTS (covers and panels)
Do not use window sprays, abrasive cleansers, or flammable
fluids. These can scratch or damage the material.
CONDENSER COILS
Remove base cover. (See the base cover section on page 14.)
Use a vacuum cleaner with an extended attachment to
clean condenser coils.
Vacuum coils when dusty or dirty. Coils may need to be
cleaned as often as every other month.
Replace base cover.
LIGHT BULB REPLACEMENT
NOTE: Not all appliance bulbs will fit your refrigerator. Be
sure to replace the bulb with one of the same size, shape
and wattage.
To change Refrigerator Light Bulbs
1. Unplug Refrigerator, or disconnect power at the circuit
breaker.
2. If necessary, remove top shelf or shelves.
3. Using a flat instrument, gently pry the lamp cover loose in
the front as shown. Rotate downward to remove rear tabs.
4. Make sure the bulbs are cool to the touch.
Turn bulbs counterclockwise to remove. Insert new bulb(s).
5. Assemble in reverse order by snapping the Lamp Cover
in, engaging the rear tabs followed by the front tabs.
