Kitchen Cleanup Tip

The metal grate behind your refrigerator is called a “condenser”. It removes heat from inside your refrigerator. Most of us never think to clean it. However, over time it gets heavily coated with dust and grime. This reduces the efficiency of the refrigerator and can even be a fire hazard. Clean it at least once a year.

First, roll the refrigerator away from the wall. Be especially careful not to damage the water line to the ice maker (if you have one). Then, use a vacuum cleaner to remove the dust, dirt, and grime. Also, you can clean up the floor underneath where the refrigerator stands.
