Care and cleaning of the refrigerator.
10
Cleaning the Outside
Keep the outside clean. Wipe with a clean
cloth lightly dampened with mild liquid
dish detergent. Dry and polish 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.
Cleaning the Inside
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 l) of water. This both cleans
and neutralizes odors. Rinse and wipe dry.
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.
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.
Moving the refrigerator in a side direction
may result in damage to the floor covering
or refrigerator.
Stainless steel panels and door handles
(on some models) should be cleaned with
a commercially available stainless steel
cleaner, wiping the surface along the grain
of the metal with a clean, soft cloth.
Stainless steel can also be cleaned with a
wet cloth using a solution of soap and
warm water. Dry the surface with a clean,
soft cloth wiping the surface along the
grain of the metal.
Do not use appliance wax or polish on the
stainless steel.
Avoid cleaning cold glass shelves (on
some models) 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.
When pushing the refrigerator back,
make sure you don't roll over the
power cord.
