Care and Cleaning

Outside

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 also

use a paste of non-precipitating water softener (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 dampened with a solution of mild liquid dishwashing detergent and water° Dry with a soft cloth, Don't use wax on the door handles and trirn_

Keep the finish dean. Wipe with a clean cloth lightly dampened with kitchen appliance wax or mild liquid dishwashing detergent. Dry and polish with a clean, soft cloth° Do not wipe the refrigerator with a soiled dishwashing cloth or wet towel. These may leave a residue that can harm 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-lookingand rust-free for years.. Apply a coat of kitchen/appliance wax ,when the refrigerator is new and then at least twice a year_

Inside

The inside of 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 ctoth 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--includingdoor 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 parts from your

refrigerator in your automatic dishwasher.
