Cleaning the Inside
TOhelp 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, w_:mg excess moisture out
of sponge or cloth when cleaning around
switches, lights or controls.
Use rearm water and baking soda solution--
about a tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda
to a quart (1 liter) of water. This both cleans
and neun'alizes odors. Thoroughly rinse
and wipe dry.
