 Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners
such as window sprays, scouring
cleansers, flammable fluids, cleaning
waxes, concentrated detergents,
bleaches, or cleansers containing
petroleum on plastic parts, interior,
door liners, or gaskets. Do not use
paper towels, scouring pads, or other
harsh cleaning tools. These can scratch
or damage materials.
 To help remove odors, you can wash
interior walls with a mixture of warm
water and baking soda (2 tbs to 1 qt
[26 g to 0.95 L] of water).

Both the refrigerator and freezer sections
defrost automatically. However, clean both
sections about once a month to avoid odor
buildup. Wipe up spills immediately.
IMPORTANT:
 Because air circulates between all sections,
any odors formed in one section will
transfer to the other. You must thoroughly
clean all sections to eliminate odors. To
avoid odor transfer and drying out of food,
wrap or cover foods tightly.
 Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such
as window sprays, scouring cleansers,
flammable fluids, muriatic acid, cleaning
waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches
or cleansers containing petroleum products
on doors and cabinet, plastic parts, interior
and door liners or gaskets. Do not use
paper towels, scouring pads, or other harsh
cleaning tools.
 For stainless steel models, stainless steel is
corrosion resistant and not corrosion-proof.
To help avoid corrosion of your stainless
steel, keep your surfaces clean by using the
following cleaning instructions.
