Your refrigerator is built to give you many years of dependable service. However, there are a
few things you can do to extend its product life. This section tells you how to clean your refrig-
erator and what to do when going on holiday, moving, or during a power outage.

Both the refrigerator and freezer sections

defrost automatically. However,
clean both about once a month
to help prevent odors from
building up. Wipe up spills right
away.

To clean your refrigerator, turn the Temp-

erature Control to OFF, unplug it, take out all
removable parts, and clean the refrigerator
according to the following directions.

!!!INSERT WARNING HERE!!!

Refrigeration system tubes are located
near the defrost pan and can become
hot. Clean defrost pan carefully.

Failure to do so could result in personal
injury.

detergent and warm
water

Sponge, cloth, or paper
towel with mild detergent,
warm water, and an
appliance wax (or good

paper towel with baking
soda or mild detergent

Hand wash, rinse, and dry
thoroughly.

twice a year. Apply wax with a
