Care and cleaning of the refrigerator.
Cleaning the Outside
Refreshment Center Compartment door—
outside.
It’s important that you use only
window cleaner without ammonia or a damp
cloth to clean the glass and trim. Avoid using
wax on the Refreshment Center door.
The dispenser well,
beneath the grille, should
be wiped dry. Water left in the well may leave
deposits. Remove the deposits by adding
undiluted vinegar to the well. Soak until the
deposits disappear or become loose enough
to rinse away.
The dispenser pad.
Clean with warm
water and baking soda solution—about a
tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda to a
quart (1 l) of water. Rinse thoroughly and
wipe dry.
HINT: Open the freezer door part way to prevent
dispensing of ice or water when cleaning.
The door handles and trim.
Clean with a cloth
dampened with soapy water. Dry with a
soft cloth.
The stainless steel panels and door handles
(on some models) can be cleaned with a
commercially available stainless steel
cleaner using a clean, soft cloth.
Keep the outside clean.
Wipe with a clean
cloth lightly dampened with kitchen
appliance wax or mild liquid dish detergent.
Dry and polish with a clean, soft cloth.
Do not wipe the refrigerator with a soiled dish
cloth or wet towel. These may leave a residue
that can erode the paint. Do not use scouring
pads, powdered cleaners, bleach or cleaners
containing bleach because these products can
scratch and weaken the paint finish.

remove grille.
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.
Door magnets can be cleaned the same way.
Refreshment Center Compartment door—inside.
Wipe up spills right away. Use one
tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda in one
quart (1 l) of water to clean the inside door
surface, Refreshment Center bin and inside
access door. Rinse, wipe dry.
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.
Do not wash any plastic refrigerator parts in
the dishwasher except Quick Serve dishes
and lids.
Door Magnets
Cleaning the Decorator Door Panels
Clean these panels using an anti-static
cleaner or a mild detergent and water.
(Look for anti-static cleaner in electronic or
computer departments.) Rinse thoroughly
and blot dry with a clean, damp cloth or
chamois. Do not use paper towels to wash or
dry the panels. Do not use cleaners that
contain solvents, such as ammonia, because
they can damage the panels.
Shallow scratches and abrasions can be
corrected with a good grade of hard
automobile paste wax. The wax will fill in
any minor surface scratches and will help to
maintain the luster of the panels. Apply the
wax sparingly and buff lightly with a clean,
soft cloth using a circular motion. Do not
use a cleaner/wax combination.
