Care and cleaning
Cleaning the Outside
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 stainless steel door with a soiled dishcloth
or wet towel. These may leave a residue that can erode
the finish. Do not use scouring pads, powdered cleaners,
bleach or cleaners containing bleach because these prod-
ucts can scratch and weaken the finish. Use only a liquid
cleanser free of grit and rub in the direction of the brush
lines.
The stainless steel door and door handle can be cleaned
with a commercially available stainless steel cleaner.
Cleaners with oxalic acid (e.g. Bar Keepers Friend Soft
Cleanser) will remove rust, lime, and other tarnish. Do not
use appliance wax or polish on the stainless steel.
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 table-
spoon (15 ml) of baking soda to a quart (1 liter) of water.
This both cleans and neutralizes odors. Rinse and wipe
dry.
Other parts of the refrigerator—including door gaskets,
fruit and vegetable drawers, and all plastic parts—can be
cleaned the same way.

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 new-looking and rust free for
years. Apply a coat of kitchen/appliance wax when the re-
frigerator is new, and then at least twice a year.
After cleaning the door gaskets, apply a thin layer of pe-
troleum jelly to the door gaskets at the hinge side. This
helps keep the gaskets from sticking and bending out of
shape.
Do not use cleansing powders or other abrasive cleaners.
Do not wash any plastic refrigerator parts in the dish-
washer.
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.
