Care and cleaning of the refrigerator.
Cleaning the Outside
The door handles and trim. Clean with a
cloth dampened with soapywater. Dry with
a soft cloth.Do not use wax on the door
handles and trim.
Keep the outside clean. Wipe with
a cleancloth lightly dampened with kitchen
appliance wax or mildliquid dish detergent.
Dry and polishwith 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.
Cleaning the Inside
To help prevent odors, leave an open box of
baking soda in the refrigerator 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 g) of baking soda
to a quart (1 liter) of water. This both cleans
and neutralizes odors. Thoroughly rinse and
wipe dry.
Behind the Refrigerator
Be careful when moving the refrigerator
away from the wall. All types of floor
coverings can be damaged, particularly
cushioned coverings and those with
embossed surfaces.
Pull the refrigerator straight out and return
it to position by pushing it straight in.
Preparing for Vacation
For long vacations or absences, remove
food and unplug the refrigerator.
Clean the interior with a baking soda
solution of one tablespoon (15 g) of
baking soda to one quart (1 liter) of water.
Leave the doors open.
Preparing to Move
Secure all loose items such as shelves
and drawers by taping them securely
in place to prevent damage.
When using a hand truck to move the
refrigerator, do not rest the front or back
of the refrigerator against the hand truck.
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 panels and door
handles. Stainless steel (on some models)
can be cleaned with a commercially
available stainless steel cleaner. A spray-on
stainless steel cleaner works best.
Do not use appliance wax or polish
on the stainless steel.
After cleaning the door gaskets,apply a thin
layer of petroleumjelly to the door gaskets
at the hinge side.This helps keep the gaskets
fromsticking and bending out of shape.
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.
Moving the refrigerator in a side direction
may result in damage to the floor covering
or refrigerator.
When pushing the refrigerator back, make sure you
don't roll over the power cord or icemaker supply
line (on some models).
Set the icemaker power switch to the O (off)
position and shut off the water supply to
the refrigerator.
If the room temperature can drop below
freezing, have a qualified servicer drain the
water supply system (on some models) to
prevent serious property damage due to flooding.
This could damage the refrigerator. Handle
only from the sides of the refrigerator.
Be sure the refrigerator stays in an upright position
during moving.
