Cleaning the Inside
To help prevent odors,
leave an open box of baking soda
in the fresh food and freezer compartments.
Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning.
If this is not
practical, wring excess moisture out of sponge or cloth
when cleaning around switches, lights or controls.
Use warm water and baking soda solution—about a
tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda to a quart (1 L) of
water. This both cleans and neutralizes odors. Rinse
and wipe dry.
Drain opening in freezer compartment.
During yearly
cleaning, remove bottom freezer basket and flush a
solution of baking soda—1 teaspoon (5 ml) and 2 cups
(500 ml) of hot (not boiling) water—through the drain
line with the help of a meat baster. This will help
eliminate odor and reduce the likelihood of a clogged
drain line. If drain becomes clogged, use a meat baster
and baking soda solution to force the clog through the
drain line.
After cleaning the door gaskets, apply a thin layer of
petroleum jelly to the door gaskets at the hinge side.
This helps keep the gaskets from sticking and bending
out of shape.
Avoid cleaning cold glass shelves (on some models) with hot water
because the extreme temperature difference may cause them to
break. Handle glass shelves carefully. Bumping tempered glass can
cause it to shatter.
Secure all loose items such as grille, shelves and drawers by taping
them securely in place to prevent damage.
Be sure the refrigerator stays in an upright position during moving.
