plastic bristle brush. Let stand for 5 minutes. Rinse surfaces

5. Wash and dry all bottles, containers and jars. Discard spoiled
or expired items.
6. Wrap or store odor-causing foods in tightly sealed containers

reduces air circulation around food and causes refrigerator to
run longer.
• Avoidaddingtoomuchwarmfoodtorefrigeratoratonetime.
This overloads compartments and slows rate of cooling.
• Donotusealuminumfoil,waxpaper,orpapertowelingas
shelf liners. This decreases air flow and causes refrigerator to
run less efficiently.
