Explosion Hazard Use non-flammable cleaner. Failure to do so can result in death, explosion or fire. 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. • To clean shelves, bins and other removable parts, 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. • When finished cleaning, don't forget to plug in 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. Do Not use wax on stainless steel exteriors. Use a product specially designed for polishing stainless steel appliances, or clean with a soft cloth or clean sponge and a mild detergent dissolved in warm water. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. NOTE: Avoid door surface contact with chemical products that contain Phosphate or Chlorine. INSIDE WALLS (allow freezer to warm up so cloth won't stick) To help remove odors, you can wash the inside of the refrigerator and freezer 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 completely dissolves so it does not scratch the surfaces of the refrigerator. DOOR LINERS AND GASKETS Do not use cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches or cleaners containing petroleum on plastic parts. Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Wash, rinse and dry all surfaces thoroughly. PLASTIC PARTS (covers and panels) Do not use paper towels, window sprays, abrasive cleansers or flammable fluids. These can scratch or damage the material. Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Wash, rinse and dry all surfaces thoroughly. BACK COVER ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD Before you begin, either unplug the refrigerator or turn off power at the circuit breaker or fuse box. Failure to do so could result in death or serious injury.
