To clean the outside of the
refrigerator, wipe with a clean cloth lightly dampened
with appliance polish wax or mild liquid dishwashing
detergent. Dry and polish with a clean, soft cloth.
DO NOT wipe the refrigerator with a soiled dish-
washing cloth or wet towel.
Use of scouring pads, powdered cleaners, bleach,
or cleaners containing bleach will damage the finish
of the refrigerator.
Care should be taken in moving your refrigerator
away from the wall. All types of floor coverings can
be damaged, particularly cushioned coverings and
those with embossed surfaces. If your refrigerator
is on rollers, pull it straight out and return to position
by pushing straight in. Moving your refrigerator in a
side direction may result in damage to your floor
covering or refrigerator.

once a year. When reinstalling pan, firmly push pan
ALL THE WAY IN until it stops.

least once a year. It is recommended that the refrig-

thoroughly with water and wipe dry. Follow this same
procedure for cleaning door gaskets, vegetable draw-
er, and all plastic parts. Wash ice trays in lukewarm
water only. DO NOT use cleansing powders or other
abrasive cleaners.
