Cleaning the Outside
The spill shelf and the area beneath it should
be cleaned periodically with a mild liquid dish
detergent.
Dispenser pad. Before cleaning, lock
the dispenser by pressing the LOCK/LIGHT
button for 3 seconds to prevent activating
the dispenser. Clean with warm water
and a mild liquid dish detergent. Rinse
thoroughly and wipe dry. Unlock the
dispenser by pressing the LOCK/LIGHT

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 Doors 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.
Do not use appliance wax or polish
on the stainless steel.
Cleaning the Inside
Turn off power at the circuit breaker or fuse
box 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. Thoroughly
rinse and wipe dry.
Other parts of the refrigerator, including door
gaskets, snack pan and vegetable drawers,
ice storage bin and all plastic parts, can be
cleaned the same way.
Do not wash the tray or any plastic
refrigerator parts in the dishwasher.
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.
Dispenser drip area.
