Care and cleaning of the refrigerator.
Cleaning the Outside
The door handles and trim (on sonle
models). Clean with a cloth (laml)ened
with soapy water. Dry with a spit 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. Thesemay 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.
The stainless steel panels and door handles
(on some models) can be cleaned with
a commercially available stainless steel
cleaner. Do not use appliance wax or
polish on the stainless steel.
Cleaning the Inside

el baking soda in the fi'esh food and
freezer cOiill)_l i'tiil en is.
Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning.
If this is not practical, wring excess
moisture out of sponge or cloth when
cleaning around switches, lights or
conti'ols.
Use waHn water and baking soda solution-
about a tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda
to a quart (1 liter) of water. This both
cleans and neutralizes odors. Rinse and

thin laver of petroleum.jelly to the door
gaskets at the hinge side. This helps kee I)
