Care and Cleaning
Cleaning
outside
Door handles and trim—Clean with a cloth
dampened with soapy water. Dry with a soft cloth.
Keep the outside clean. Wipe with a clean
cloth lightly dampened with mild liquid dish
detergent. Dry with a clean, soft cloth.
Do not wipe the refrigerator with a soiled dish cloth
or wet towel. These may leave a residue that can
damage the finish. Do not use scouring pads,
powdered cleaners, bleach or cleaners containing
bleach because these products can scratch and
damage the finish.
Stainless steel—Regularly clean and polish
the Stainless Steel Door Panels and Handles
(on some models) with a commercially available
stainless steel cleaner such as Stainless Steel Magic ™
to preserve and protect the fine finish. Stainless Steel
Magic is available through GE Parts and Accessories,
800.626.2002, or GEAppliances.com. Order part
number WX10X15.
In Canada, please call 1.800.661.1616
Do not use appliance wax or polish on the stainless
steel.
Custom Wood Panels - please contact your custom
panel supplier for direction on cleaning and care.
Cleaning
inside
Turn off power at the circuit breaker or fuse box
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 baking soda to a quart (1
liter) of water. This both cleans and neutralizes
odors. Thoroughly rinse and wipe dry.
Other parts of the refrigerator—including door
gaskets, vegetable drawer, ice storage bins and all
plastic parts—can be cleaned the same way. 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. Rough handling of tempered glass can
cause it to shatter.
Do not wash any plastic parts in the dishwasher.
