to read the manufacturer’s instrucons
and warnings. This will help avoid personal
injury or damage to property.
INTERIOR CLEANING
Prepare a cleaning soluon of 3-4 tablespoons of
baking soda mixed with warm water. Use a sponge
or socloth, dampened with the cleaning soluon,
to wipe the inside of your refrigerator.
Avoid cleaning any cold glass (shelves, crisper
cover glass, etc.) with hot water. The glass can
break and cause personal injury. Handle all glass
parts with care at all mes.
Do not aempt to wash any parts in a dishwasher.
Do not use harsh chemicals, ammonia, chlorine
bleach, concentrated detergent, solvents,
abrasives or metal scouring pads to clean your

Use a clean, sotowel to dry.
For stainless steel models, use a dry cloth and
stainless steel polish.
Door gaskets should be cleaned every three
months following the instrucons for interior
cleaning. Clean gaskets will maintain a beer seal

the hinge side of the gaskets to keep the gasket
pliable and assure a good seal.
Never use a dirty cloth to clean the exterior of
the refrigerator. Dirty cloths may leave residue
on the refrigerator that can damage the finish.
Also, avoid the use of harsh chemicals, ammonia,
chlorine bleach, concentrated detergent, solvents,
abrasives or metal scouring pads to clean the
