CARE AND CLEANING
Cleaning—Outside
Refreshment Center Compartment door—outside. It’s important
that you use only window cleaner without ammonia or a damp cloth
to clean the glass and trim. Avoid using wax on the Refreshment
Center door.
The dispenser well, beneath the grille, should be wiped dry. Water
left in the well may leave deposits. Remove the deposits by adding
undiluted vinegar to the well. Soak until the deposits disappear or
become loose enough to rinse away.
The dispenser pad can be cleaned by using a warm water and baking
soda solution—about 15 ml of baking soda to one liter of water. Rinse
thoroughly with water and wipe dry.
The door handles and trim can be cleaned with a cloth dampened
with a solution of mild liquid dishwashing detergent and water. Dry
with a soft cloth. Don’t use wax on the door handles and trim.
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 dishwashing cloth or wet towel. These may 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.
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 stay
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.
Cleaning—Inside Under Refrigerator
Refreshment Center Compartment door—inside. Wipe up spills
right away. Use 15 ml of baking soda in one liter of water to clean the
inside door surface, Refreshment Center bin and inside access door.
Rinse, wipe dry.
Inside the fresh food and freezer compartments should be cleaned
at least once a year. 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 15 ml of baking
soda to one liter of water. This both cleans and neutralizes odors.
Rinse thoroughly with water and wipe dry.
Other parts of the refrigerator—
including door magnets, meat and vegetable
drawers, ice storage bin and all plastic
parts—can be cleaned the same way.
Avoid cleaning cold glass shelves with hot
water because the extreme temperature
difference may cause them to break.
To help prevent odors, leave an open box
of baking soda in the rear of the refrigerator,
on the top shelf. Change the box every 3 months. An open box of
baking soda in the freezer will absorb stale freezer odors.
Quick-Serve
TM
dishes and lids can be cleaned in an automatic
dishwasher or by hand with liquid dishwashing detergent and water.
You can remove stains by soaking them in a bleach and water solution
using one part chlorine bleach to three parts water. (Stubborn stains
may require soaking.) Use a plastic scouring pad to remove burned-on
soil. Do not use cleansing powders or other abrasive cleaners.
For most efficient operation,
you need to keep the area under the
refrigerator clean. Remove the base
grille and either sweep away or
vacuum up dust that is readily
accessible on the condenser coils.
To remove the base grille, open
both doors, grasp the bottom of
the grille and pull it out.
To replace the base grille,
line up the clips on the back
of the grille with the openings
in the baseplate and push the
grille forward until it snaps
into place.
Do not wash any plastic parts from your refrigerator in
your automatic dishwasher.
Clean the condenser coils
at least once a year.

Cleaning the Decorator Door Panels
Clean these panels using an anti-static cleaner or a mild detergent
and water. (Look for anti-static cleaner in electronic or computer
departments.) Rinse thoroughly and blot dry with a clean, damp cloth
or chamois. Do not use paper towels to wash or dry the panels. Do not
use cleaners that contain solvents, such as ammonia, because they can
damage the panels.
Shallow scratches and abrasions can be corrected with a good grade
of hard automobile paste wax. The wax will fill in any minor surface
scratches and will help to maintain the luster of the panels. Apply the
wax sparingly and buff lightly with a clean, soft cloth using a circular
motion. Do not use a cleaner/wax combination.
