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 damage the paint.
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.
Appliance Polish Wax & Cleaner is available from
Service and Parts Centers.
Cleaning—Inside
Clean the inside of the fresh food and freezer
compartments 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.
Apply an appliance wax/polish to the inside surface
between the doors.
Use warm water and baking soda solution—about
a tablespoon of baking soda to a quart of water. This
both cleans and neutralizes odors. Rinse thoroughly
with water and wipe dry.
Other parts of the refrigerator—including door
gaskets, vegetable drawers, ice trays and all plastic
parts-can be cleaned the same way. Do not use
cleansing powders or other abrasive cleaners.
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 three months. An open box of

Do not wash any of your refrigerator’s plastic
parts in your automatic dishwasher.
Behind Refrigerator
Care should be taken in moving your refrigerator
away from the wall. All types of floor coverings can
be damaged, particularly cushioned coverings and
those with embossed surfaces.
Pull the refrigerator straight out and return it to position
by pushing it straight in. Moving your refrigerator in a
side direction may result in damage to your floor
covering or refrigerator. Refer to the Rollers section.

least once a year.
