CARING FOR YOUR
REFRIGERATOR
Explosion Hazard
Use nonflammable
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 from building
up. Wipe up spills
immediately.
Energy Saving Tip:
Clean the condenser coils regularly, as described in the
cleaning chart in this section. A coil cleaning brush is
available for purchase. Call 1-800-366-PART and ask for
Part Number 4210463.
To clean your refrigerator:
•
Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
•
Remove all removable parts from inside, such as
shelves, crispers, etc.
•
Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent
in warm water. Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners.
•

Additional cleaning tips are listed below:
PART
COMMENTS
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.
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
cloth won't
stick)
To help remove odors, you can
wash with a mixture of warm
water and baking soda (2 tbs to 1
qt [26 g to .95 L] of water).
Door liners
and gaskets
Do not use cleaning waxes,
concentrated
detergents,
bleaches, or cleaners containing
petroleum on plastic parts.
Plastic parts
(covers and
panels)
Do not use paper towels, window
sprays, scouring cleansers or
flammable fluids. These can
scratch or damage material.
Condenser
coils
•
Remove base grille. (See the
"Base grille" section.)
•
Use a vacuum with an extended
attachment to clean condenser
coils.
•
Vacuum coils when dusty or dirty.
Coils may need to be cleaned as
often as every other month,
•
Replace base grille.
NOTE: Not all appliance bulbs will fit your refrigerator. Be
sure to replace the bulb with one of the same size, shape,
and wattage.
To change the refrigerator light:
1, Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
