Care and cleaning of the refrigerator.
Cleaning the Inside
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.

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 pan and

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.
CAUTION
Do not clean glass shelves
or covers with warm water when they are
cold. Glass shelves and covers may break
if exposed to sudden temperature changes
or impact such as bumping or dropping.
Tempered glass is designed to shatter into
many small pieces if it breaks.
Do not wash any plastic refrigerator parts in
the dishwasher.
Cleaning the Outside
The dispenser drip area, (on some models)
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 cradle (on some models). Before
cleaning, lock the dispenser by pressing and
holding the Lock pad for 3 seconds. Clean with

a tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda to a quart
(1 l) of water. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry.
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.
The stainless steel doors and door handles
(on some models) can be cleaned with a
commercially available stainless steel cleaner.
Cleaners with oxalic acid such as Bar Keepers
Friend Soft Cleanser™ will remove surface rust,
tarnish and small blemishes. Use only a liquid
cleanser free of grit and rub in the direction
of the brush lines with a damp soft sponge.
Do not use appliance wax or polish on the
stainless steel.
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.
