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.
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.
Note: When pushing it back, be sure not to roll over the power cord.
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 manufacturer's instructions and warnings to
avoid personal injury or product damage.
• 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.
• Clean door gaskets every three months according to
general instructions. Gaskets must be kept clean and
pliable to ensure a proper seal.
• Petroleum jelly applied lightly on the hinge side of
gaskets will keep the gasket pliable and ensure a good
seal.
