Electronic monitor and diagnostic system panels. Clean the panels on the outside and inside of the freezer compartment door with a soft, clean cloth lightly dampened with water. Do not use cleaning sprays or large amounts of water—the liquid can run down and damage the control mechanisms.

The water and ice dispenser spill shelf should be wiped dry immediately to prevent spotting. Water left on the shelf may leave deposits that you can remove by soaking in undiluted vinegar. You can dso use a paste of non-precipitating water sofiener (such as Calgon brand) and water, or one teaspoon of citric acid powder per pint of hot tap water, Soak until the deposit disappears or becomes loose enough to rinse away. Usually 30 minutes soaking time is adequate. Avoid using wax on the spill shelf and trim.

The door handles and trim can be cleaned with a cloth darnpend with a solution of mild liquid dishwashing detergent and water. Dry with a soft cloth. Don’t use wax on the door handles and trim.

Countermaker Compartment door—inside. Wipe up spills right away. Use one tablespoon of baking soda in one quart of water to clean the inside door surface, refreshment center bin and inside access door. Rinse, wipe dry.

Inside the fresh food and freezer compartments should be cleaned at least once a year. 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 of baking soda to a quart of water. This both cleans and neutralizes odors. Rinse thoroughly with water and wipe dry.

Other parts of the refrigerator— including door gaskets, meat and vegetable drawers, ice storage bin and all plastic parts-can be cleaned the same way. Do not use cleansing powders or other abrasive cleaners.

To help prevent odors, leave

an open box of baking soda in the rear of the refrigerator, on the top shelf. Change the box every three months. An open box of baking soda in the freezer will absorb stale freezer odors.

Do not wash any plastic pati from your refrigerator in yow automatic dishwasher.

Serve and Store bowls and covers can be cleaned in an automatic dishwasher or by hand with liquid dishwashing detergent and water. You can remove stains by soaking them in a bleach-and-water solution—one part chlorine bleach to three parts water. (Stubborn stains may require two or more hours of soaking.) Use a plastic scouring pad to remove burned-on soil. Do not use cleansing powders or other abrasive cleaners.

Drain opening in freezer compartment. During yearly cleaning, remove bottom freezer basket and flush a solution of baking soda—one teaspoon and two cups of hot (not boiling) water— through the drain line with the help of a meat baster. This will help eliminate odor and reduce the likelihood of a clogged drain line.
