Cleaning the Outside

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.

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 refrigerator.

Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning. If this is not practical, wring excess moisture out of sponge or cloth when cleaning around the control.

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.

Do not wash any plastic refrigerator parts in the dishwasher.

Replacing the Light Bulb

Unplug the refrigerator before replacing a burned-out bulb. Setting the controls to 0 does not remove power to the light circuit.

Using a Philips screwdriver, unscrew the lens and pull horizontally until the lens is removed. Gently unscrew the light bulb and replace with a bulb of 15 watts or less.
