REFRIGERATOR CARE
Cleaning
Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost automatically.
However, clean both sections about once a month to avoid
buildup of odors. Wipe up spills immediately.
Exterior Cleaning
Please see the exterior cleaning information specific to your
model.
Style 1 - Smooth Door
IMPORTANT: Damage to smooth finish due to improper use of
cleaning products, or using non-recommended cleaning
products, is not covered under the warranty. Sharp or blunt
instruments will mar the finish.
NOTE: Paper towels scratch and may dull the clear coat of the
painted door. To avoid possible damage use only soft clean
clothes to polish and wipe the door.
Style 2 - Stainless Steel
IMPORTANT:
■ Damage to stainless steel finish due to improper use of
cleaning products, or using non-recommended cleaning
products, is not covered under the warranty.
NOTES:
■ If unintentional contact does occur, clean plastic part with a
sponge and mild detergent in warm water. Dry thoroughly
with a soft cloth.
■ Just because a cleaner is a liquid does not mean it is
nonabrasive. Many liquid cleansers formulated to be gentle
on tile and smooth surfaces still damage stainless steel.
■ Citric acid permanently discolors stainless steel. To avoid
damaging the finish of your stainless steel refrigerator:
