Operating Instructions
Cleaning the Outside
The door handles and trim
(on some
models). Clean with a cloth dampened
with soapy water. Dry with a soft cloth.
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.
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 an appliance wax polish on the
inside surface between the doors.
Use warm water and baking soda solution—
about a tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda
to a quart (1 l) of water. This both cleans
and neutralizes odors. Rinse and wipe dry.
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.
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.
Éviter de nettoyer les tablettes en verre froides
(sur certains modèles) à l’eau chaude parce que
l’écart de température extrême risque de les
craquer. Manipuler les tablettes en verre avec
précaution. Le verre trempé soumis à un choc
risque de se fracasser.
Do not wash any plastic refrigerator parts in
the dishwasher.
Under the Refrigerator
For most efficient operation, keep the
area under the refrigerator clean. Turn
the temperature control dial to
OFF
.
Sweep away or vacuum up dust.
For best results, use a brush specially
designed for this purpose. It is available
at most appliance parts stores.
Clean the condenser coils at least
once a year.
