Care and cleaning of the compactor | GE GCG1520, GCG1540, GCG1550

Care and cleaning of the compactor.

As is true of most appliances, proper care is needed to give you continued satisfaction. Before cleaning the compactor, turn the key-knob to the OFF position and remove. If you will be away for more than a couple of days, remove the compactor bag. Lock the compactor and remove the key-knob and store it in a safe place.

The outside and inside of your compactor are finished with durable baked-on enamel.

Safety Instructions

Cleaning the Outside and Inside

To clean the outside:

Do not wipe with a soiled dishwasher cloth— it may leave a residue that can damage the panel. Do not use harsh, gritty cleansers or scouring pads that may mar the finish.

Painted panels:

Apply a coat of kitchen/appliance wax when the compactor is new, and then several times a year.

Stainless steel panels:

Stainless steel panels can be cleaned with Stainless Steel Magic or a similar product using a clean, soft cloth.

Stainless Steel Magic (Cat. No. WX10X15) and Appliance Polish and Wax Cleaner (Cat. No. WR97X216) are available from GE Parts by calling 800-626-2002.

To clean the drawer interior:

Remove the bag. See About using the trash compactor section.

Wear protective gloves. There may be bits of glass in the drawer. Press the side-lock latch down.

If the drawer side was removed, slide it back into the tilted position.

Press the side-lock latch down while pressing the side to the upright position. Lock the side-lock latch.

To clean the cabinet interior:

Pull the drawer out until it stops. Note the tracks in which the drawer rollers move.

Lift the front to clear the drawer stops. Grab the drawer on both sides. Pull it out the rest of the way and set it aside.

Vacuum inside of the cabinet. Liquid spills or wet trash should be cleaned up by hand, or use a vacuum designed to pick up liquid.
