citric acid powder per pint (500 ml) of hot tap water.

water and baldng soda solution--about a tablespoon

The' soft door handles are easy to clean if they are
waxed every few months° Use a household wax such as
Pledge or Jubilee brand to coat the handles. Soil will
then easily wash off with dish detergent and water or a
non-abrasive, all-purpose cleaner.
Keep the finish clean. Wipe with a clean cloth lightly
dampened with ldtchen appliance wax or mild liquid
dishwashing detergent, Dry and polish with a clean,
soft cloth. Do not wipe the refiigerator with a soiled
dishwashing cloth or wet towel. These may leave a
residue that can hasm 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 outside of the
refrigerator has a high-quality, baked-on paint finish°

at least twice a yeas.

Clean the inside of the fresh food and fre_er
compartments at least once a year. 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 warm water and baking soda solution--about a
tablespoon (15 ml) of baldng soda to a quart (t L) of
water.,This both cleans and neutralizes odors. Rinse
thoroughly with water and wipe dry_

including door gaskets, door
magnets, meat and vegetable
drawers, ice storage bin and all
plastic parts_can be cleaned the
same way. Do not use cleansing
Door
magnets
powders or other abrasive cleaners.
Door gaskets are factory-lubricated with petroleum
jelly on the hinge side. If the lubricant is excessive,
wipe it off but leave a thin film on the gasket to help
insure a proper hinge-side seal. When you clean the
door gaskets, relubricate them. If the freezer baskets
don't slide fi'eely after cleaning, lubricate them with
petroleum jelly_
Avoid cleaning cold glass shelves and glass storage
drawer cover' with hot water because the extreme
temperature difference may cause them to break°
To help prevent odors, leave an open box of baldng
soda in the rear of the refrigerator, on the top shelf_
Change the box every three months. An open box of
baldng soda in the freezer will absorb stale odors,.
Do not wash any plastic parts from your
refrigerator in your automatic dishwasher.
