Cleaning the Inside
TOhelp prevent odors, leave an open
box of
baking soda in the fresh food and freezer
compamnents.
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 {f 1) of water: This both cleans
and neutralizes odors. Rinse and wipe dry.
After cleaning the door gaskets, apply a
thin layer of paraffin wax 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 (on
some models) 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.
TheBrita_ Water Dispenser [ on somemodels)
is dishwashersafe.
