Care and Cleaning
Stainless Steel Refrigerator

Cleaning
outside
The dispenser well (on some models),
beneath the grille, should be wiped dry.
Water left in the well 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 can be cleaned by using
a warm water and baking soda
solution—about a tablespoon (15 ml) of
baking soda to a quart (1 l) of water. Rinse
thoroughly with water and wipe dry.
The stainless steel panels and door handles
can be cleaned with a commercially
available stainless steel cleaner using a
clean, soft cloth.
Do not use appliance wax or polish on the
stainless steel.
Cleaning
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.
Drain opening in freezer
compartment. During
yearly cleaning, remove
bottom freezer basket and
flush a solution of baking
soda—1 teaspoon (5 ml)
and 2 cups (500 ml) of hot
(not boiling) water—
through the drain
line with the help of a meat baster. This
will help eliminate odor and reduce the
likelihood of a clogged drain line. If drain
becomes clogged, use a meat baster and
baking soda solution to force the clog
through the drain line.
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.
