available stainless steel cleaner. A spray-on
stainless steel cleaner works best.

Cleaning the inside
Tohelp 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.
Usewarm water and baking soda solution-
about a tablespoon (15 ml)of baking soda to
a quart (1 liter)of water. This both cleans and
neutralizesodors. Rinseand wipe dry.
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.
