Cleaning the Outside
Press here to
remove grille.
The dispenser spill shelf (on some models) should be
wiped dry. Water left on the shelf may leave deposits
that you can remove by soaking with undiluted vinegar.
Soak until the deposit disappears or becomes loose
enough to rinse away.
The dispenser pad (on some models). Clean with warm
water and baking soda solution—about a tablespoon
(15 ml) of baking soda to a quart (1 L) of water. Rinse
thoroughly and wipe dry.
HINT: Open the freezer door part way to prevent dispensing of ice
or water when cleaning.
The door handles and trim (on some models). Clean with a
cloth dampened with soapy water. Dry with a soft cloth.
The soft door handles (on some models) are easy to keep
clean if they are waxed every few months. Use a
household wax such as Pledge brand or Jubilee brand to
coat the handles. Soil will then easily wash off with soapy
water or a non-abrasive all-purpose cleaner.
Keep the outside clean. Wipe with a clean cloth lightly
dampened with kitchen appliance wax or mild liquid
dish detergent. Dry and polish with a clean, soft cloth.
Do not wipe the refrigerator with a soiled dish cloth or wet towel.
These may leave a residue that can erode the paint. Do not use
scouring pads, powdered cleaners, bleach or cleaners containing
bleach because these products can scratch and weaken the paint
finish.
