Cleaning the Outside
The dispenser drip area, (on some models)
beneath the grille, should be wiped dry. Water
left in this area may leave deposits. Remove
the deposits by adding undiluted vinegar to
the well. Soak until the deposits disappear
or become loose enough to rinse away.
The dispenser cradle (on some models).
Before cleaning, lock the dispenser by
pressing and holding the LOCK CONTROL
pad for 3 seconds. Clean with warm
water and baking soda solution–about
a tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda to
a quart (1 liter) of water. Rinse thoroughly
and wipe dry.
The door handles and trim. Clean with
a cloth dampened with soapy water.
Dry with a soft cloth.
The stainless steel panels and door handles
(on some models) can be cleaned with a
commercially available stainless steel
cleaner such as Stainless Steel Magic.
™
Stainless Steel Magic is available at Ace, True
Value, Servistar, HWI and other leading
stores. It is also available through GE Parts
and Accessories, 800.626.2002. Order part
number WX10X15.
Do not use appliance wax or polish on the
stainless steel.
Keep the outside clean. Wipe with a clean
cloth lightly dampened with kitchen
appliance wax or mild liquid dish detergent.
Dry and polish 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.
Cleaning the Inside
To help prevent odors, leave an open box of
baking soda in the fresh food and freezer
compartments.
Unplug the 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 (15 ml) of baking soda
to a quart (1 liter) of water. This both cleans
and neutralizes odors. Rinse and wipe dry.
Use of any cleaning solution other than that
which is recommended, especially those that
contain petroleum distillates, can crack or
damage the interior of the refrigerator.
Avoid cleaning cold glass shelves with hot water
because the extreme temperature difference
may cause them to break. Handle glass shelves
carefully. Bumping tempered glass can cause
it to shatter.
Do not wash any plastic refrigerator parts in
the dishwasher.
