Care and Cleaning

Bottom Freezer Refrigerator

Cleaning outside

The 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 erode the paint. Do not use scouring pads, powdered cleaners, bleach or cleaners containing bleach because these products can scratch and weaken the paint finish.

The stainless steel panels and door handles (on some models) should be regularly cleaned with a commercially available stainless steel cleaner such as Stainless Steel Magic™.

Stainless Steel Magic and the Monogram polishing cloth are available to preserve and protect the fine finish, through

GE Parts and Accessories, 800.626.2002, or ge.com.

For Stainless Steel Magic, order part number WX10X15. For Monogram polishing cloth, order part number WX72X10001.

Do not use appliance wax or polish on the stainless steel.

Cleaning inside

To help prevent odors, leave an open box of baking soda in the refrigerator and freezer compartments.

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, meat and vegetable drawers, ice storage bin 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 refrigerator parts in the dishwasher.
