Care and cleaning of the refrigerator.
6
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 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 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.
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.
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.
Behind the Refrigerator
Once a year, move the refrigerator out
and vacuum the back coils. Be careful when
moving the refrigerator away from the wall.
All types of floor coverings can be damaged,
particularly cushioned coverings and those
with embossed surfaces.
Do not wash any plastic refrigerator parts
in the dishwasher.
Avoid cleaning cold glass shelves
(on some models) with hot water because
the extreme temperature difference may
cause them to break. Handle glass shelves
carefully. Bumping tempered glass can cause
it to shatter.
Pull the refrigerator straight out and return
it to position by pushing it straight in.
Moving the refrigerator in a side direction
may result in damage to the floor covering
or refrigerator.
When pushing the refrigerator back, make
sure you don't roll over the power cord. Also
be sure to leave a minimum of 3" between
the wall and the condenser coils
