General Cleaning Tips
• The freezer defrosts automatically; however, clean it
once a month to prevent odors.
• Wipe up spills immediately.
• Unplug the freezer or disconnect power before
cleaning.
• Remove all removable parts, such as shelves.
• Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild
detergent in warm water. Do not use abrasive or
harsh cleaners.
• Hand wash, rinse and dry all surfaces thoroughly.
• When cleaning the inside or outside of the
appliance, do not wipe it with a rough brush,
toothpaste, or flammable materials. Do not use
cleaning agents containing ammable substances.
- Doing so may cause discoloration or damage to
the appliance.
- Flammable substances: alcohol (ethanol,
methanol, isopropyl alcohol, isobutyl alcohol,
etc.), thinner, bleach, benzene, flammable liquid,
abrasive, etc.
Inside Walls
• Allow freezer to warm up so the cloth will not stick.
To help remove odors, wash the inside of the freezer
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 freezer.
Door Liners and Gaskets
Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild
detergent in warm water. Do not use cleaning waxes,
concentrated etergents, bleaches, or cleaners
containing petroleum on plastic freezer parts.
Plastic Parts (covers and panels)
Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent
in warm water. Do not use glass cleaners, abrasive
cleansers, or ammable uids. These can scratch or
damage the material.
