Cleaning
inside
To help prevent odors, leave an open box
of baking soda in the refl'igerator and fl'eezer
COUll) ai'tinents.
Turn off power at the circuit breaker or fuse
box before cloturing. If this is not practical,
wring excess inoisture ()tit of sponge or cloth
when cleaning around switches, lights or
controls.
Use warnl water and baking soda solution--
about a tablespoon (l 5 ml) of baking soda
to a quart (] liter) of water. This both cleans
and neutralizes odors. Thoroughly rinse
and wipe dry.
Other parts of the refrigerator-including
door gaskets, meat and vegetable drawers,
ice storage bin and all plastic parts-can be
cleaned the same way. ADer cleaning the door
gaskets, apply a thin layer of petrolemn .jelly to
the door gaskets at the hinge side. This helps
kee I) the gaskets from sticking and bending
out of shape.
Avoid clemfing cold glass shelves with hot
water because the extreme temperature
difference may cause them to break. Handle
glass shelves carefully. Rough hmldlh_g of
tempered glass can cause it to shatter.
Do not wash any plastic refrigerator parts in
the dishwasher.
