Cleaning
outside
The door handles and trim.
Clean with a cloth
dampened with soapy water. Dry with a soft cloth.
Keep the outside clean.
Wipe with a clean
cloth lightly dampened with mild liquid dish
detergent. Dry 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.
The stainless steel doors and door handles (on
some models) can be cleaned with a commercially
available stainless steel cleaner. Cleaners with
oxalic acid such as Bar Keepers Friend Soft
Cleanser™ will remove rust, tarnish and small
blemishes. Use only a liquid cleanser free of grit
and rub in the direction of the brush lines with a
damp soft sponge. Do not use appliance wax or
polish on the stainless steel.
Cleaning
inside
To help prevent odors,
leave an open box of
baking soda in the refrigerator and freezer
compartments.
Turn off power at the circuit breaker or fuse
box before cleaning.
If this is not practical, wring
excess moisture out of sponge or cloth when
cleaning around switches, lights or controls.

about a tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda to
a quart (1 liter) of water. This both cleans and
neutralizes odors. Thoroughly rinse and wipe dry.

the same way. 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.
CAUTION
Do not clean glass shelves
or covers with warm water when they are cold.
Glass shelves and covers may break if exposed
to sudden temperature changes or impact such
as bumping or dropping. Tempered glass is
designed to shatter into many small pieces if it
breaks.
Do not wash any plastic refrigerator parts in the
dishwasher.
