This is due to the anti-condensation pipe, which pumps hot refrigerator to prevent "sweating" on the outer cabinet wall. Cleaning It is important that your refrigerator be kept clean to prevent undesirable odors. Spilled food should be wiped up immediately, since it may acidify and stain plastic surfaces if allowed to settle. Use a lukewarm solution of mild soap or detergent to clean the durable finish of your refrigerator. Wipe with a clean damp cloth and then dry. Regular cleaning is recommended. Wash all compartments a baking soda solution or a mild detergent and warm water. Rinse and dry. Please verify that the power cord is not damaged, power plug is not overheated, or power plug is well inserted into the power consent. Always remove power cord from the wall outlet prior to cleaning in the vicinity of electrical parts (lamps, switches, controls, etc.). Wipe up excess moisture with a sponge or cloth to prevent water or liquid from getting into any electrical part and causing an electric shock. Never use metallic scouring pads, brushes, coarse abrasive cleaners, strong alkaline solutions, flammable or toxic cleaning liquids on any surface. Do not touch frozen surfaces with wet or damp hands, because damp object will stick or adhere to extremely cold surfaces.
