Care and Cleaning

The door handles and trim  can be
cleaned with a cloth dampened with
a solution of mild liquid dishwashing
detergent and water. Dry with a soft
cloth. Don’t wax handles or trim.

Keep the finish clean.  Wipe with
a clean cloth, lightly dampened
with kitchen appliance wax or mild

 dishwashing detergent. Dry

and polish with a clean, soft cloth.
Do not wipe the refrigerator with a

 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 
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.

Appliance Polish Wax & Cleaner
(Cat. No. 

 is available

from 

 Appliance Parts

Marts.

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.

Other parts of the 
including door gaskets, vegetable
drawer, and all plastic parts—can
be cleaned the same way. 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 

 in

your automatic dishwasher.

Behind refrigerator

your refrigerator away from the
wall. All types of floor coverings
can be 

 particularly 

-

cushioned coverings and those

Defrost Water 

Defrost water pan

Pan located next   compressor
at rear of refrigerator should be

cleaned at least once a year. DO

NOT REMOVE PAN. Move
refrigerator out from wall as far as
necessary, and unplug power cord
from wall outlet before cleaning
pan. Use a clean cloth or sponge

dampened in 

 water 

baking soda solution-one
tablespoon of baking soda to a

quart of water. Do not use
cleansing powders, abrasive
cleaners, bleach or cleaners
containing chlorides.
