Cleaning the Outside

The ice 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. Clean 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.
