STORAGE DRAWERS

Vegetables Drawer

The storage drawer at the bottom of the fresh food compartment has been specially designed to preserve the natural moisture and freshness of produce.

The drawer will stop before coming all the way out of the refi-igerator to help prevent contents from spilling onto the floor. It can be removed easily by lifting up slightly and pulling past the. “stop” position.

To replace the drawer and the glass shelf above it, the door must be fully opened. In some installations the refrigerator may have to be moved away from the wall for the door to be fully opened.

CARE AND CLEANING

Cleaning—Outside

Keep the finish clean. Wipe with a clean cloth, lightly dampened with kitchen appliance wax or mild liquid dishwashing detergent. Dry and polish with a clean, soft cloth. Do not wipe the refrigerator with a soiled dishwashing cloth or wet towel. These may leave a residue that can damage the paint. Do not use scouring pads, powdered cleaners, bleach, or cleaners containing bleach, because these products can scratch and weaken the paint finish.

Protect the paint finish. The finish on the outside of the refrigerator is a high quality, baked-on paint finish.

With proper care, it will stay new- looking and rust-free for years. Apply a coat of kitchen/appliance wax when the refrigerator is new, and then at least twice a year.

Appliance Polish Wax & Cleaner (Cat. No. WR97X02 16) is available from GE Appliance Service and Parts Centers.

Cleaning—Inside

Clean the inside of the fresh food and freezer compartments at least once a year. Unplug refrigerator 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 of baking soda to a quart of water. This both cleans and neutralizes odors. Rinse thoroughly with water and wipe dry.

Glass shelf over vegetables drawer can be removed and taken to the sink for washing with soap or mild liquid detergent and water after it has warmed up. Never put glass shelf into hot water when it is cold.

Other parts of the refri.gerator— including door gaskets, vegetable drawer, and all plastic parts+an be cleaned the same way. After cleaning 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. Do not use cleansing powders or other abrasive cleaners. To help prevent odors, leave an open box of baking soda in the rear of the refrigerator, on the top shelf. Change the box every three months. An open box of baking soda in the freezer will absorb stale freezer odors.

Do not wash any of your refrigerator’s plastic parts in your automatic dishwasher.
