Cleaning the Door Panel

Before cleaning the front panel, make sure you know what type of panel you have. Refer to the last two letters of your model number. You can locate your model number on the left-hand tub wall just inside the door. If your model number ends with BB, WW, CC, SA or BG, then you have a Painted Door panel. If your model number ends with SS, then you have a Stainless Steel Door panel. If your model number ends with CS, then you have a CleanSteel Door panel.

Follow the instructions below for cleaning the door panel for your specific model.

Painted Door Panel (model numbers ending in BB–black, WW–white, CC–bisque, SA–silver or BG–graphite metallic)

Use a clean, soft, lightly dampened cloth, then dry thoroughly. You may also use a good appliance wax or polish.

Stainless Steel Door Panel (model numbers ending in SS)

The stainless steel panels can be cleaned with Stainless Steel Magic or a similar product using a clean, soft cloth. Do not use appliance wax, polish, bleach or products containing chlorine on Stainless Steel doors.

You can order Stainless Steel Magic #WX10X15 through GE Parts by calling 800.626.2002.

CleanSteel Door Panel (model numbers ending in CS)

Use a clean, soft, lightly dampened cloth, then dry thoroughly. Do not use appliance wax, polish or any chemical agent on CleanSteel doors.

Do not wipe the dishwasher with a soiled dish cloth or wet towel. These may leave a residue. Do not use scouring pads or powdered cleaners because these products can scratch the finish.

GHDA450, EDW5000 specifications

The GE EDW5000 and GHDA450 are two advanced appliances from General Electric, designed to meet the demands of modern kitchens while offering innovative features and cutting-edge technologies. These models stand out in the competitive landscape of home appliances due to their efficiency, user-friendly interfaces, and impressive performance capabilities.

The GE EDW5000 is an energy-efficient dishwasher that combines convenience with powerful cleaning technology. It boasts a spacious interior with enough room for 16 place settings, making it suitable for both small and large families. One of its hallmark features is the Piranha hard food disposer, which ensures that even the toughest food residues do not affect the cleaning performance. This disposer is designed with stainless steel blades that are engineered to grind food remnants effectively, minimizing the need for pre-rinsing dishes.

Another standout feature of the EDW5000 is its advanced wash system that utilizes a sensor-driven approach. The Smart Wash technology optimizes water usage based on the load size and soil level, enabling efficient cleaning while conserving resources. Additionally, the dishwasher comes with multiple wash cycles, including a heavy-duty option for heavily soiled pots and pans and a quick wash for lightly soiled dishes, catering to various needs.

The GE GHDA450, on the other hand, is an equally impressive appliance, known for its robust performance as a high-efficiency laundry dryer. It integrates a range of innovative drying technologies, including moisture sensors that prevent over-drying by automatically adjusting drying times based on the moisture level in the load. This not only protects clothing from damage but also saves energy, contributing to a reduced carbon footprint.

The GHDA450 features multiple drying cycles and settings, accommodating different fabric types, from delicate silk to heavy denim. It also includes options such as wrinkle care, which helps minimize iron time, and a sanitize cycle that eliminates bacteria, enhancing convenience and health safety.

Both models are designed with user convenience in mind, featuring intuitive control panels and seamless interfaces. They are also built with durability in mind, constructed from high-quality materials that can withstand everyday wear and tear.

In summary, the GE EDW5000 and GHDA450 represent a perfect fusion of advanced technology, energy efficiency, and thoughtful design. They cater to modern households looking for appliances that not only perform exceptionally well but also enhance the overall experience of daily chores. With their impressive features and commitment to sustainability, GE continues to set the standard for reliable home appliances.
