To clean and care for your stainless steel surfaces, follow these suggestions:
- Wash surfaces with warm, soapy water using liquid detergent or an all-purpose cleaner and a nonabrasive sponge. Always rub evenly in the direction of the grain.
- Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.
- To restore its luster, use the wipes; follow the recommendations and directions on the label. Wipe off any excess and use special care to avoid contact with any plastic parts, trim pieces or rubber door gaskets. If the polish does contact any of these plastic parts, clean them with a nonabrasive sponge and mild detergent in warm water. Thoroughly dry the area with a soft cloth.
- Use a clean, dry towel to polish the surface in the direction of the grain until it shines.
IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to the finish, do not use soap-filled scouring pads, abrasive or harsh cleaners, any cleaning product containing chlorine bleach, steel-wool pads, gritty wash cloths or certain paper towels.

Stainless exterior doors (Iridium or EZKleen finishes) – It is important when cleaning the exterior door surface of your refrigerator, to only use liquid dishwashing detergent dissolved in warm water. Dry the door with a clean, lint-free cloth.
The use of any abrasive or stainless steel cleaners and solvents will damage the door surface.
