Keep the finish clean. Wipe with a clean cloth lightly dampened with
kitchen appliance
wax
or mild liquid
dishwashing
detergent. Dry and
polish with
a
clean, soft cloth. Do not wipe the refrigerator with a
soiled
di~hwashing
cloth or wet towel. These may lea\ e a residue that
can erode the paint. Do not use scouring pads, powdered cleaners,
bleach or
cleaner-$
containing
bleach
because these productj can
scratch and weaken the paint finish.
Protect the paint finish. The finish on the outside of the refrigerator
is a high quality, baked-on paint finish. With proper care, it will

new-looking and rust-free
for
years. Apply a coat of kitchen/appliance
wax
when the refrigerator is new and then at least twice
a
year.
