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 15 ml of baking soda to one 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.

Care and cleaning of the refrigerator.
Cleaning the Outside
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 pad/cradle (on dispenser models).
Before cleaning, open the freezer door part
way to prevent dispensing of ice or water when
cleaning. On models with a dispenser pad, the
pad can be removed before cleaning. Simply
peel the pad away from the back wall of the
dispenser. Clean the pad/cradle with a warm
water and baking soda solution–about 15 ml of
baking soda to 1 liter of water. Rinse thoroughly
and wipe dry. To replace the pad, tuck the
edges of the pad in the grooves on the back
wall of the dispenser. Make sure that the top of
the pad goes behind the dispenser collar.
The door handles and trim. Clean with a cloth
dampened with soapy water. Dry with a
soft cloth.
Keep the outside clean. Wipe with a clean cloth
lightly dampened with kitchen appliance wax
or 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.
