How to clean the interior of the refrigerator?
Clean the double drawer once a month is recommended. This will help keep the refrigerator well organized and help manage the beverages and food's freshness levels. Hand washing with a mild detergent is recommended for cleaning the interior bins, shelves, and other items.
Steps for cleaning the interior
- Unplug the double drawer or disconnect power.
- Empty and remove all shelves and racks from inside the refrigerator.
- Hand wash, rinse, and dry removable parts and interior surfaces thoroughly. Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water.
- To avoid damaging wooden tines (on some models) and trim pieces, wipe them off with a clean sponge or soft cloth and warm water. Do not use detergent or immerse the entire rack into the water when cleaning.
- To help remove odors, you can wash interior walls with a mixture of warm water and baking soda [2 tbs to 1 qt (26 g to 0.95 L) of water].
- Wash stainless steel and painted metal exteriors with a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners or cleaners containing chlorine. These can scratch or damage materials. Dry immediately with a soft, dry cloth to absorb any remaining water.
NOTE: To keep your stainless steel double drawer refrigerator looking new and to remove minor scuffs or marks, it is recommended that you use the manufacturer’s approved Stainless Steel Cleaner and Polish.
IMPORTANT:
- This cleaner is for stainless steel parts only!
- Do not allow the Stainless Steel Cleaner and Polish to come into contact with any plastic parts such as the trim pieces, dispenser covers, or door gaskets. If unintentional contact does occur, clean the plastic part with a sponge and mild detergent in warm water. Dry immediately with a soft, dry cloth to absorb any remaining water.
