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, wring excess moisture out
of sponge or cloth when cleaning around
switches, lights or controls.
Use warm water and baking soda solution--
about a tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda
to a quart (1 liter) ofwatm: This both
cleans and neutralizes odors. Thoroughly
rinse and wipe dry.

Condenser
There is no need fbr routine condenser
cleanings in normal home operating
environments. Howevm; in environments
that may be particularly dusty or greasy, the
condenser should be cleaned periodically
for efficient refiigerator operation.
Removingthebasegrille:
First remove the base grille. Grasp the base
grille about 6 inches from each end and
pull its bottom edge toward you.
Cleaning the condenser:
Sweep away or vacuum up dust.
For best results, use a brush specially
designed for this purpose. It is available at
most appliance parts stores.
Replacingthebasegrille:
Replace the base grille by inserting the
tops of the metal clips into the oval vents,
making sure one of the plastic tabs on the
back of the grille goes into each of the oval
vents. Then push the t>ottom of the grille
forward until it snaps into place.
Behind the Refrigerator
Be careful when moving the refrigerator
away from the wall. _MI types of floor
coverings can be damaged, particularly
cushioned coverings and those with
embossed surthces.
Pull the refrigerator straight out and return
it to position by pushing it straight in.
Moving the refiigerator in a side direction
