the
freshfoodandfreezercompartments
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 c)rcontrols.
Use warm water and baking soda solution—abotlt
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
vegetabledrawers,ice
storage
bin and all plastic parts-can be cleaned the
same
way. After cleaning 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. Do not use cleansing powders or other
abrasive cleaners.
