Maintaining your refrigerator
Your refrigerator is designed for year-round use with only minimal cleaning and
maintenance.
When you first receive it, wipe the case with a mild detergent and warm water,
then wipe dry with a dry cloth. Do this periodically to keep your refrigerator
looking new.
Cleaning your refrigerator
For hygienic reasons, the inside of your refrigerator and its accessories should be
cleaned every two months.
1 Turn off your refrigerator and unplug it from the wall outlet.
2 Remove all food and store in a cool place.
3 Wash your refrigerator’s interior and exterior with mild detergent and warm
water, then wipe dry.
4 Wipe the door gasket (seal) clean to keep the unit running efficiently.
5 Once a year, carefully clean the condenser on the back of your refrigerator
with a soft brush or vacuum cleaner to remove dust and debris that increases
energy usage.
6 Check the water drain hole on the back wall inside your refrigerator
compartment. If blocked, clear the drain hole with something like a pipe
cleaner. Be careful not to damage the cabinet with sharp objects.
7 Dry the interior and exterior with a soft cloth.
8 Plug in the refrigerator’s power cord and turn it back on.
Defrosting your refrigerator
Turn the temperature control knob to OFF, then let the refrigerator defrost until
there’s no moisture on the evaporator. The evaporator is a hole at the back of the
refrigerator in the middle of the third shelf. See "Features" on page 6.
Caution:
To prevent damage to the finish, do not use:
• Gasoline, benzine, thinner, or other similar solvents.
• Abrasive cleaners.
WARNING: Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
Caution:
• Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners.
• Ethereal oils and organic solvents can attack plastic parts, e.g. lemon juice or the juice from
orange peel, butyric acid, and cleansers that contain acetic acid. Do not allow such
substances to come into contact with appliance parts.
• Do not use razor blades or other sharp instruments, which can scratch the appliance surface
when removing adhesive labels. Any glue left from the tape can be removed with a mixture
of warm water and mild detergent, or touch the residue with the sticky side of tape already
removed. Do not remove the serial plate.
• Do not clean your refrigerator with a steam cleaner. Moisture could accumulate in electrical
components and hot vapor can damage plastic parts.
CAUTION: Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process,
other than those recommended by the manufacturer.
