Cleaning the Outside
Keep the outside clean. Wipe with a clean
cloth lightly dampened with mild liquid dish
detergent. Dry with a clean, soft cloth.
Do not wipe the stainless steel door with
a soiled dishcloth or wet towel. These
may leave a residue that can erode the
finish. Do not use scouring pads, powdered
cleaners, bleach or cleaners containing
bleach because these products can
scratch and weaken the finish. Use only a
liquid cleanser free of grit and rub in the
direction of the brush lines.
Cleaning the Inside
To help prevent odors, leave an open box
of baking soda in the fresh food and freezer
compartments.
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.
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.
gaskets, fruit and vegetable drawers, and all
The stainless steel doors and door handles
(on some models) can be cleaned with
a commercially available stainless steel
cleaner. Cleaners with oxalic acid such as Bar
Keepers Friend Soft Cleanser™ will remove
surface rust, tarnish and small blemishes.
Use only a liquid cleanser free of grit and
rub in the direction of the brush lines with a
damp soft sponge. Do not use appliance wax
or polish on the stainless steel.
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.
After cleaning the door gaskets, apply a thin
layer of petroleum jelly to the door gaskets
at the hinge side. This helps keep the gaskets
from sticking and bending out of shape. Do
not use cleansing powders or other abrasive
cleaners.
CAUTION
Do not clean glass
shelves or covers with warm water
when they are cold. Glass shelves and
covers may break if exposed to sudden
temperature changes or impact such as
bumping or dropping. Tempered glass is
designed to shatter into many small pieces
if it breaks.
Do not wash any plastic refrigerator parts
in the dishwasher.
