Quick step by step Instructions

Unplug the Unit.

Before you begin to clean the unit, unplug it from the power outlet. Place any items that will disturb the cleaning in a cooler with ice.
Clean with soft sponge and detergent.

Use a soft clean sponge or cloth and mild detergent to clean the refrigerator. Do not use steel wool or any types of abrasive cleaners. For stainless steel exteriors, use commercial stainless steel cleaner and ensure to follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Remove detachable parts.

Pull out all removable parts such as shelves and bins. Allow them to warm up to room temperature before you start to clean them. If they are directly exposed to warm or hot water in the fridge (especially when cold), they could crack or break from thermal shock
