Outside
The water and ice dispenser spill shelf should be "wiped
dry immediately to prevent spotting_ Water left on the
shelf may leave deposits that you can remove by soaking
in undiluted vinegar You can also use a paste of non-
precipitating water softener (such as Calgan brand) and
water, or one teaspoon of citric acid powder per pint of
hot tap water, Soak until the deposit disappears or
becomes loose enough to rinse away. Usually 30
minutes soaking time isadequate Avoid using wax on
the spill shelf and trim
The soft door handles are easy to clean if they are waxed
every few months_ Use a household wax such as Pledge
or jubilee brand to coat the handles Soil wil! then easily

parts-can be cleaned the same way Do not use
cleansing powders or other abrasive cleaners Door

leave a thin film on the gasket to help insure a proper
hinge-side sea[ When you clean the door gaskets,
relubricate lhem If the freezer baskets don't slide freely
after cleaning, lubricate them with petroleum jelly
To help prevent odors, leave an open box of baking
