English Proper Refrigerator Care and Cleaning Cleaning and Maintenance WARNING To avoid electric shock always unplug your refrigerator before cleaning. Ignoring this warning may result in death or injury. Before using cleaning products, always read and follow CAUTION manufacturer's instructions and warnings to avoid personal injury or product damage. General: • 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. • Rinse with clean warm water and dry with a soft cloth. • Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasives, ammonia, chlorine bleach,concentrated detergents, solvents or metal scouring pads. SOME of these chemicals may dissolve, damage and/or discolor your refrigerator. Door Gaskets: • Clean door gaskets every three months according to general instructions. Gaskets must be kept clean and pliable to assure a proper seal. • Petroleum jelly applied lightly on the hinge side of gaskets will keep the gasket pliable and assure a good seal. Refrigerators: 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. CAUTION 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. WARNING Note: When pushing it back, be careful not to roll over the power cord. 15
