Cleaning the Inside
Turn off power at the circuit breaker or fuse box 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. Thoroughly rinse and wipe dry.
Other parts of the refrigerator, including door gaskets, snack pan and vegetable drawers, ice storage bin and all plastic parts, can be cleaned the same way.
Do not wash the tray or any plastic refrigerator parts in the dishwasher.
Avoid cleaning cold glass shelves 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.
