Cleaning the Inside
TOhelp 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 warm water and baking soda solution--
about a tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda
to a quart (1 1) of water. This both cleans
and neutralizes odors. Rinse and wipe dry.
After cleaning the door gaskets, apply a
thin layer of petroleum jelly m the door
gaskets at the hinge side. This helps keep
the gaskets from sticking and bending out
of shape.
Drain opening in freezercompartment.
During yearly cleaning, remove bottom
freezer basket and flush a solution of
baking soda--f teaspoon (5 ml) and 2 cups
(500 ml) of hot (not boiling) ,a-ater--
through the drain line with the help of a
meat baster. This will help eliminate odor
and reduce the likelihood of a clogged
drain line. If drain becomes clogged, use a
meat baster and baking soda solution to
force the clog through the drain line.
