To help prevent odors,leave an open box

If this is not practical, _-ing excess
moisture out of sponge or cloth when
cleaning around switches, lights or
controls.
Use an appliance wax polish on the
inside surface between the doors.
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 to the door
gaskets at the hinge side. This helps keep
the gaskets from sticking and bending
out of shape.
