EXTERIOR
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
the cloth will not slick)
To help remove odors, you can wash the inside of the
refrigerator
with a mixture of baking
soda and warm
water. Mix 2 tablespoons
of baking
soda to 1 quart of
water (26 g soda to 1 liter water.) Be sure the baking
soda
is completely
dissolved so it does not scratch the surfaces
of the refrigerator.
_CAUTION:
While cleaning the inside, do not spray
water.
DOOR LINERS AND GASKETS
Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent
in warm water. Do not use cleaning
waxes, concentrated
detergents,
bleaches, or cleaners containing
petroleum
on
plastic refrigerator
parts.
PLASTIC PARTS (Covers and Panels)
Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent
in warm water. Do not use window
sprays, abrasive
cleansers, or flammable
fluids. These can scratch or
damage
the material.
CONDENSER COILS
Use a vacuum cleaner with
an attachment
to clean the
condenser cover and vents.
Do not remove the panel
covering the condenser
coil area.
