Care and Cleaning

Fresh-Food Refrigerator

Turn the fresh-food refrigerator OFF or unplug the unit before cleaning.

Turn the fresh-food refrigerator OFF by pressing the button on the control panel a minimum of 3 seconds until the light turns off.

Cleaning the 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 exterior and handle 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.

To avoid scratching the fine finish of the stainless steel, wipe in the same direction as the grain when polishing or cleaning any stainless steel surface. The grain on the fresh-food refrigerator door runs top to bottom.

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

Cleaning the inside

Unplug the fresh-food refrigerator before cleaning. If this is not practical, turn the unit OFF and wring excess moisture out of the cloth or sponge when cleaning around 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 fresh-food refrigerator—

including the door gaskets, vegetable pan and glass shelves—can be cleaned the same way.

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.

Drain hole

Periodically check the drain hole and channel for any debris. If the drain is blocked, condensation will not drain properly.

To check and clean the drain hole, remove the bottom two glass shelves. Sweep a damp cloth along the channel in the back of the fresh-food refrigerator. Use a finger to sweep away any debris from the drain hole.
