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 button for 3 seconds.
Door handles. Clean with a cloth dampened
with soapy water. Dry with a 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 ge.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.
