Cleaning the Outside

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.

Protect the paint finish. The finish on the outside

of the refrigerator is a high quality, baked-on

paint finish. With proper care, it will stay new-

looking and rust-free for years. Apply a coat of

kitchen/ appliance wax when the refrigerator is

new, and then at least

twice a year.

Cleaning the Inside

To help prevent odors, leave an open box of

baking soda in the refrigerator.
Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning. If this

is not practical, wring excess moisture out of

sponge or cloth when cleaning around the

control.
Use warm water and baking soda solution –

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.

Other parts of the refrigerator–including door

gaskets, fruit and vegetable drawers, and all

plastic parts–can be cleaned the same way.
Do not wash any plastic refrigerator parts in the

dishwasher.

Replacing the Light Bulb (on some models)

Unplug the refrigerator before replacing a

burned-out bulb. Setting the controls to OFF

does not remove power to the light circuit.
The light bulb is located behind the temperature

control housing and is visible through the light

shield.

Remove the light shield by snapping it from the

bottom of the housing. Gently unscrew the light

bulb. Replace with a bulb of the same or lower

wattage.
