Cleaning the Outside
Keep the outside clean. Wipe with a clean cloth
lightly dampened with kitchen appliance wax or
mild liquid dish detergent. Dry and polish with a
clean, soft cloth.
Do not wipe the refrigerator with a soiled dish
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 the Inside
To help prevent odors, leave an open box of
baking soda in the refrigerator.
Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning. If this
is not practical, wring excess moisture out of
sponge or cloth when cleaning around the
control.
Use warm water and baking soda solution –
about a tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda to
a quart (1 liter) of water. This both cleans and
neutralizes odors. Rinse and wipe dry.
Other parts of the refrigerator–including door
gaskets, fruit and vegetable drawers, and all
plastic parts–can be cleaned the same way.
Do not wash any plastic refrigerator parts in the
dishwasher.

Replacing the Light Bulb (on some models)
Unplug the refrigerator before replacing a
burned-out bulb. Setting the controls to OFF
does not remove power to the light circuit.
The light bulb is located behind the temperature
control housing and is visible through the light
shield.
Remove the light shield by snapping it from the
bottom of the housing. Gently unscrew the light
bulb. Replace with a bulb of the same or lower
wattage.
