Care & Cleaning
Keep your fridge-freezer clean to prevent odour build-up. Wipe up any spills immediately and clean both sections at least
twice a year. Never use any type of scouring pads, brushes, abrasive cleaners or strong alkaline solutions on any surface.
Do not wash any removable parts in a dishwasher.
Always unplug the electrical power cord from the wall outlet before
cleaning.
• When moving the fridge-freezer, pull straight out. Do not shift the fridge-freezer from side to side as this
may damage the floor. Be careful not to move the fridge-freezer beyond the plumbing connections.
• Damp objects stick to cold metal surfaces. Do not touch refrigerated surfaces with wet or damp hands.
• Never us e CHLORIDE to clean stainless steel.
NOTES:
• If you set your temperature controls to turn off cooling, power to lights and other electrical components continues
until you unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
• Do not use razor blades or other sharp instruments which can scratch the appliance surface when removing
adhesive labels. Any glue left from tape or labels can be removed with a mixture of warm water and mild
detergent, or, touch the glue residue with the sticky side of tape you have already removed. Do not remove the
serial plate.
