Your refrigerator is built to give you many years of dependable service. However, there are a few things you can do to help extend its life. This section tells you how to clean your refrigerator and what to do when going on vacation, moving, or during a power outage. Interior Surfaces Wash the interior surfaces of your refrigerator with four tablespoons of baking soda dissolved in one quart of warm water. Use a soft, clean cloth. Rinse these surfaces with warm water, and dry with a soft clean cloth. DO NOT use the following to clean interior surfaces: • Abrasive or harsh cleaners, such as ammonia or chlorine bleach • Concentrated detergents or solvents • Metal scouring pads These products can scratch, crack and discolor your refrigerator's surfaces. Also, NEVER wash the ice bucket or shelves in the dishwasher. They must be cleaned by hand. Glass Shelves To clean your refrigerator's glass shelves, lift the shelf out by lifting the front and releasing the hooks from the metal track. Then pull the shelf out. Be sure to allow the glass shelves to adjust to room temperature before cleaning. To clean crevices, dilute mild detergent with water. Brush this solution into crevices using a plastic bristle brush. Let set for five minutes. Spray warm water into crevices using faucet spray attachment. Dry glass shelf thoroughly and replace shelf by inserting hooks into metal track and lowering front. Door Gaskets Clean the door gaskets every three months using the same procedures used for interior surfaces. You should apply a light film of petroleum jelly to keep gaskets pliable. Defrost Pan To prevent condensation from overflowing, check defrost pan periodically. To check defrost pan, remove two screws securing kickplate to unit. Pull defrost pan forward until it stops. Remove any excess water from pan. Wipe and clean defrost pan with a sponge. Return defrost pan to original position. Return kickplate to unit by securing with two screws. 14 Product Care
