CLEAN!NG
Inside – Clean both refrigerator and freez-
er sections at least once a year. It is rec-
ommended that the refrigerator be un-
plugged before cleaning. If this is not prac-
tical, wring excess moisture out of sponge
or cloth when cleaning in the. vicinity of
switches, lights or controls.
Use warm water and baking soda solution
—about a tablespoon of baking soda to a
quart of water, Rinse thoroughlywith water
and wipe dry. Follow this same procedure
for cleaning door gaskets, vegetable and
meat pans and all plastic parts, Wash ice
trays and ice storage bucket in lukewarm
water only.
Do not wash any plastic parts from your
refrigerator in your automatic dishwasher.
Outside–The steel exterior is coated with
a high quality baked-on finish, However,
without proper care, degradation of this
finish can occur and permit rust spots to
form on the outside of the cabinet.
It is recommended that ~ coat of wax or
liquid polish be applied when the refrig-
erator is new and repeated several times
each year. The wax or polish, which should
be suitable for use on appliances, will close
the microscopic pores in the paint and
seal out contaminants which can cause
rust.
Between waxings, clean the exterior finish
with a clean, soft cloth dampened with a
mild household detergent. Rinse with a
clean, lightly dampened cloth and dry thor-
oughly.
Behind
Refrigerator– When moving re-
frigerator away from the wall always pull
cabinet straight out and return to position
by pushing straight in. Moving your refrig-
erator in a side direction may result in
damage to your floor covering or refriger-
ator.
Defrost Water Em- Pan located behind
grille should be cleaned at least once a year.
@Before leaving the house or retiring for
the night, check
to be sure doors haven’t
been left ajar inadvertently.
s Don’t locate your refrigerator adjacent
[oyour range, o heating vent or where swn-
shine will strike it if any other kitchen ar-
rangement is possible.
fooci, be sure to reset the dial to its prt
vious setting within a day,
