Care and Cleaning
Stainless Steel Refrigerator
The dispenser drip
area,
beneath the
grille, should be
wiped dry. Water
left in this area
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 cradle.
Before cleaning,
lock the dispenser by pressing and holding
the CONTROL LOCK pad for 3 seconds.
Clean with warm water and baking soda
solution—about a tablespoon (15 ml) of
baking soda to a quart (1 liter) of water.
Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry.
The stainless steel panels and handles
can be
cleaned with a commercially available stainless
steel cleaner such as
Stainless Steel Magic
™
.
Stainless Steel Magic
is available at Ace, True
Value, Servistar, HWI and other leading stores.

Cleaning
the outside
Dispenser drip area.
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 liter) of water. This both cleans and
neutralizes odors. Rinse and wipe dry.
Use of any cleaning solution other than that
which is recommended, especially those that
contain petroleum distillates, can crack or
damage the interior of the refrigerator.
Avoid cleaning cold glass shelves 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.
The Chill/Thaw tray is dishwasher safe.
