Cleaning your refrigerator
Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost automatically.
But both should be cleaned about once a month to help prevent
odors from building up. Of course, spills should be wiped up right
away.
To clean your refrigerator, unplug it, turn the Temperature Control
to OFF, take out all removable parts, and clean it according to the
following directions.
Inside.
You can wash the parts you take out in the sink with a mild soap or
mild detergent and warm water. Harsh cleansers, scouring powders
and solvents should never be used on any part of your refrigerator.
Wash the walls with a solution of two tablespoons (309) of baking
soda mixed with one quart (IL) of warm water. Rinse well and dry. Let
the freezer warm up with door open for 10 or 15 minutes so the cloth
doesn?t stick.
Inside the doors, including gaskets, should be washed with warm
water and a mild soap or mild detergent. Be especially careful with
the dark plastic panels. Even a sponge with grit can scratch them.
Do not use cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches
or cleansers containing petroleum products. They can damage the
gasket and plastic finish.
Do not use paper towels, window sprays. Kitchen scouring
compounds or such solvents as acetone, benzene, carbon
quer thinner. These things can scratch the panels or take the
Grill-holding Tabs
Outside.
Cleaning waxes are not recommended. Just use warm water and
a mild soap or mild detergent. Rinse well and dry. If you want to wax,
use a special appliance wax or a good auto paste wax that does
not contain solvents.
Swing Out; Underneath.
LiftUp To remove the base grill, open the door and lift up on the two tabs
that show through the grill at both ends near the top. When you?ve
lifted the tabs, swing the top of the grill forward. Lift the grill off the
\\ ? bottom supports.
The defrost water pan is on the left and the condenser is on the
right. Pull out the defrost pan and wash. Make sure the notched
corner is in the rear when you put it back, and that you push it all the
way in. The defrost drain tube should point into the pan.
Clean dust from the condenser with a vacuum cleaner. The con-
Condenser
Coil denser should be cleaned every two or three months.
To clean the floor under the refrigerator, make sure you don?t roll it
out farther than the ice-maker water supply line allows.
Heat is removed from your refrigerator and transferred to the con-
Notice the denser. From there, the heat is spread into the room. Dust on the
Notched Corner on the condenser insulates it and stops the heat from leaving it. If the heat
Defrost-water Pan can?t get out easily, the refrigerator will have to run longer to keep
food cold.
