CARE AND CLEANING
Cleaning—Outside
Keep the finish clean.
Wipe with a
clean cloth, lightly dampened with
kitchen appliance wax or mild liquid
dishwashing detergent. Dry and
polish with
a
clean, soft cloth.
Do not
wipe the refrigerator with a soiled
dishwashing cloth or wet towel.
These may leave a residue that can
damage the paint.
Do not
use
scouring pads, powdered cleaners,
bleach, or cleaners containing bleach,
because these products can scratch
and weaken the paint finish.
Protect the paint finish.
The finish
on the outside of the refrigerator is a
high quality, baked-on paint finish.
With proper care, it will stay
new-
looking and rust-free for years. Apply
a
coat of kitchen/appliance wax when
the refrigerator is new, and then at
least twice
a
year.

Cleaning—Inside
Clean the inside of the fresh food
and freezer compartments
at least
once a year. Unplug 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 of
baking soda to a quart of water. This
both cleans and neutralizes odors.
Rinse thoroughly with water and
wipe dry.
Glass shelf over vegetables drawer
can be removed and taken to the sink
for washing with soap or mild liquid
detergent and water after it has
warmed up.
Never put glass shelf
into hot water when it is cold.
Other parts of the
refri.gerator—
including door gaskets, vegetable
drawer, and all plastic
parts+an
be
cleaned the same way. After cleaning
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. Do not use cleansing
powders or other abrasive cleaners.
To help prevent odors, leave an open
box of baking soda in the rear of the
refrigerator, on the top shelf. Change
the box every three months. An open
box of baking soda in the freezer will
absorb
stale
freezer odors.
Do not wash any of your
refrigerator’s plastic parts in
your automatic dishwasher.
