Frequently Asked Questions

If you’re only wiping a small area inside the fridge, you can leave the food where it is. If you plan to clean thoroughly for more than 30 minutes, move the food to a cooler bag.

Use mild detergent and warm water — avoid bleach or alcohol.

If you are only wiping it and making sure no water gets into the air vents, you do not need to unplug the fridge.


Note: If there is a risk of water entering the air vent, unplug the refrigerator. See the Operating Instructions for details.
