Care and cleaning of the refrigerator.

Cleaning the Outside

The door handles and trim. Clean with a
cloth dampened with soapy water. Dry with
a soft cloth. Do not use wax on the door
handles and trim.
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 refrigerator 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 liter) of water. This both cleans and
neutralizes odors. Rinse and wipe dry.
The stainless steel panels and door
handles. Stainless steel (on some models)
can be cleaned with a commercially
available stainless steel cleaner. A spray-on
stainless steel cleaner works best.
Do not use appliance wax or polish
on the stainless steel.
Silver-plated plastic parts. Wash parts with
soap or other mild detergents. Wipe clean
with a sponge, damp cloth or paper towel.
Do not scrub with steel-wool pads or other
abrasive cleaners.
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 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.
Do not wash any plastic refrigerator parts
in the dishwasher.
Silver-accented plastic parts. Wash parts
with soapy water. Wipe clean with a sponge,
damp cloth or paper towel.
Do not scrub with steel-wool pads or other
abrasive cleaners.
