Thesteel exterior is coatedwith a high
quality baked-onfinish. However,with-
out proper care, degradation of this
finish can occur and permit rust spots
to form on the outside of the cabinet.
Tokeep your refrigerator new-looking
and provide protection for the exteriot
paint finish, apply a coat of appliance
polish wax when the refrigerator is
new and then at least twice a year.
Propercare of the paint finish will help
maintain the new look and provide
protection against rusting. If the ex-
terior should become soiled, wipe it
off with a c/can cloth Iightly dampened
with appliance polish or mild house-
hold detergent. Usea c/can, soft cloth
to dry and polish the cleaned surface.
DO NOT wipe with a soiled dishwash-
ing cloth or a wet towel.
