GEAppliances.com
Cleaning the Outside
The door handles and trim. Clean with a cloth
dampened with soapy water. Dry with a soft
cloth. Do not use wax on the door handles and
trim.
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.
The stainless steel panels and door handles.
The stainless steel doors and door handles
(on some models) can be cleaned with a
commercially available stainless steel cleaner.
Cleaners with oxalic acid such as Bar Keepers
Friend Soft Cleanser™ will remove rust,
tarnish and small blemishes. Use only a liquid
cleanser free of grit and rub in the direction
of the brush lines with a damp soft sponge.
Do not use appliance wax or polish on the
stainless steel.
Silver-plated plastic parts. Wash parts with
soap or other mild detergents. Wipe clean with
a sponge, damp cloth or paper towel.
Do not scrub with steel-wool pads or other
abrasive cleaners.
Cleaning the Inside
To help prevent odors, leave an open box
of baking soda in the refrigerator 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 an appliance wax polish on the inside
surface between the doors.

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.
After cleaning the 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.
CAUTION
Do not clean glass shelves
or covers with warm water when they are
cold. Glass shelves and covers may break
if exposed to sudden temperature changes
or impact such as bumping or dropping.
Tempered glass is designed to shatter into
many small pieces if it breaks.
Do not wash any plastic refrigerator parts in
the dishwasher.
Silver-accented plastic parts. Wash parts with
soapy water. Wipe clean with a sponge, damp
cloth or paper towel.

To Use the Internal Water Dispenser
(on some models)
The water dispenser is located on the left wall inside
the refrigerator compartment.
To dispense water:
Hold the glass against the recess.
Push the water dispenser button.
Hold the glass underneath the dispenser for 2–3
seconds after releasing the dispenser button.
Water may continue to dispense after the button
is released.
If no water is dispensed when the refrigerator is first
installed, there may be air in the water line system.
Press the dispenser button for at least 2 minutes to
remove trapped air from the water line and to fill the
water system. During this process, the dispenser noise
may be loud as the air is purged from the water line
system. To flush out impurities in the water line, throw
away the first 6 glassfuls of water.
NOTE: To avoid water deposits, the dispenser should
be cleaned periodically by wiping with a clean cloth
or sponge.
