Care and cleaning of the refrigerator.

Cleaning the Outside

The door handles and trim. Clean with a cloth
dampened with soapy water. Dry with a soft
cloth. Do not use wax on the door handles and
trim.
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.

Cleaning the Inside

To help 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 an appliance wax polish on the inside
surface between the doors.
about a tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda to
a quart (1 liter) of water. This both cleans and
neutralizes odors. Rinse and wipe dry.
The stainless steel panels and door handles.
Stainless steel (on some models) can be
cleaned with a commercially available stainless
steel cleaner. A spray-on stainless steel cleaner
works best.
Do not use appliance wax or polish on the
stainless steel.
Silver-plated plastic parts. Wash parts with
soap or other mild detergents. Wipe clean with
a sponge, damp cloth or paper towel.
Do not scrub with steel-wool pads or other
abrasive cleaners.
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.
Avoid cleaning cold glass shelves 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.
Do not wash any plastic refrigerator parts in
the dishwasher.
Silver-accented plastic parts. Wash parts with
soapy water. Wipe clean with a sponge, damp
cloth or paper towel.
