Cleaning Your Frost-Free Refrigerator  
Use nonflammable cleaners.  
Frost-free  means  that  you  do  not  have  to  defrost  your  appliance.  Frost  is  removed  by  air  moving  and  collecting  any 
moisture and depositing  it  on the  cooling  coil.  The cooling  coil  periodically  warms  up  enough  to  melt  the  frost,  and  the 
water then flows down to the drain pan (located behind the base grill) where it is evaporated. 
Complete cleaning should be done at least once a year. 
1.   Unplug appliance or disconnect power. 
2.   Remove all substances. 
3.   Wash the inside walls with a solution of mild detergent in warm water or 2 tbs (26 g) baking soda to 1 qt (0.95 L) warm 
 water. 
•  Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window sprays, scouring cleansers, flammable fluids, cleaning 
waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches or cleansers containing petroleum products on plastic parts, interior and 
door liners or gaskets. Do not use paper towels, scouring pads, or other harsh cleaning tools. These can scratch or 
damage materials. 
4.  Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth.  
5.  Use the appropriate cleaning method for your exterior finish.  
Painted metal: Wash exteriors with a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Do not use 
abrasive or harsh cleaners, or cleaners designed for stainless steel. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. For additional 
protection against damage to painted metal exteriors, apply appliance wax (or auto paste wax) with a clean, soft cloth. 
Do not wax plastic parts.  
6.  Plug in appliance or reconnect power.  
7.  Replace all containers.  
Stainless steel: Clean stainless steel with special stainless steel cleaners only. Do not use bleach or any abrasive 
cleaners. 
Cleaning your cycle defrost or manual defrost refrigerator 
Cycle defrost models utilize a system where ice builds up on the rear wall and melts when the compressor is off. Manual 
defrost models continually build ice on inner walls. 
NEVER USE A METAL OBJECT TO REMOVE ICE FROM THE REAR WALL. IF NEEDED, USE A PLASTIC ICE-
SCRAPER OR A HAIR DRYER.  
Clean surfaces, using the same instructions as for frost-free models. 
For CSS Models (completely stainless steel) or models with stainless steel doors and handles, please 
use only cleaners especially made for stainless steel.
