Care and Cleaning

To avoid electrical shock which can cause severe
personal injury or death, disconnect power to
refrigerator before cleaning. After cleaning,
reconnect power.

Circuit breakers must be shut off before
cleaning. Using a damp cloth and mild
dishwashing detergent, wipe surface lightly. Dry
and polish with a clean, soft cloth. Do not wipe
panel with a soiled dishcloth or wet towel, these
may leave residue that can erode the paint. Do not
use scouring pads, powdered cleaners, or bleach
because these products can scratch, and/or
weaken the paint.  Wring excess water from
sponge or cloth to avoid excess moisture, espe-
cially when cleaning in vicinity of switches, lights or
controls.

are unnecessary and should never be used. Nickel
may be cleaned with any non abrasive chrome

and metal polish or regular Windex and a soft cloth.
(Note: when using Windex, be sure to wipe it at
once, if left standing on the nickel surface some
etching and/or permanent streaking may occur) If any
acid based food or liquid, such as lemon juice or
tomato juice, is spilled on the refrigerator, wipe it at
once to prevent staining.

Circuit breakers must be shut off before clean-
ing. DO NOT USE A STEEL WOOL PAD. It will
scratch the surface. Care should be taken when
cleaning any stainless steel surface. Start with a
soapy water solution and damp cloth, rinse, then dry.
Increase the strength of the cleaning solution, by
small increments, if required. If food by-products
remain, try a general kitchen cleaner, such as
Fantastik, Simple Green or Formula 409. For hard to
clean soil, use a stainless steel cleaner, such as
Bon-Ami, Cameo, or Bar Keepers Friend. Apply
cleaner with a damp sponge, rinse thoroughly, and
dry. Always scrub in the direction of the grain and
follow manufacturers cleaning instructions on labels.
To touch up noticeable scratches in the stainless
steel, sand very lightly with dry 100 grit emery paper,
rubbing in the direction of the grain. After cleaning use
a stainless steel polish, such as Stainless Steel
Magic.
