CARING FOR YOUR
REFRIGERATOR
Cleaning Your Refrigerator
Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost automatically.
However, clean both sections about once a month to prevent
odors from building up. Wipe up spills immediately.
To clean your refrigerator:
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Remove all removable parts from inside, such as shelves,
crispers, etc.
3. 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.
■ 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. These can scratch or damage materials.
■ To help remove odors, wash interior walls with a mixture
of warm water and baking soda (2 tbs. to 1 qt.
[26 g to .95 L] of water).
4. Wash stainless steel and painted metal exteriors with 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.
For additional protection against damage to painted metal
exteriors, apply appliance wax (or auto paste wax) with a
clean, soft cloth. Do not wax plastic parts.
5. Clean the condenser coils regularly. Coils may need to be
cleaned as often as every other month. This may help save
energy.
Style 1 - Condenser coils behind base grille:
■ Remove the base grille (see the “Base Grille” section).
■ Use a vacuum with an extended attachment to clean the
condenser coils when they are dusty or dirty.
■ Replace the base grille when finished.
Style 2 - Condenser coils in back of the refrigerator:
■ Pull refrigerator out away from the wall (see the
“Unpacking Your Refrigerator” section).

(2.5 cm) between the cabinet back and the wall.
■ Check to see if the refrigerator is level.
