Cleaning the Outside
The dispenser drip area, beneath the grille,
should be wiped dry. Water left in this area
may leave deposits. Remove the deposits by
adding undiluted vinegar to the well. Soak
until the deposits disappear or become
loose enough to rinse away.
The dispenser cradle . Before cleaning,
lock the dispenser by pressing and holding
the LOCK CONTROL pad for 3 seconds.
Clean with warm water and baking soda
solution—about a tablespoon (15 ml)
of baking soda to a quart (1 liter) of water.
Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry.
The door handles and trim. Clean with
a cloth dampened with soapy water.
Dry with a soft cloth.
Cleaning the Inside
To help prevent odors, leave an open box
of baking soda in the fresh food 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 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
(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.
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.
Use of any cleaning solution other than that
which is recommended, especially those that
contain petroleum distillates, can crack or
damage the interior of the refrigerator.
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.
The chill/thaw tray is dishwasher safe.
