Care and Cleaning
Refrigerator/Freezer
Cleaning
outside
The door handles and trim can be cleaned with
a cloth dampened with a solution of mild liquid
dishwashing detergent and water. Dry with a
soft cloth. Don’t use wax on the door handles
or trim.
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.
Cleaning
inside
To help prevent odors,
leave an open box
of baking soda in the
refrigerator/freezer.
Unplug the
refrigerator/freezer
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.
Other parts of the refrigerator/freezer—
including door gaskets, meat and vegetable
drawers, ice storage bin and all plastic
parts—can be cleaned the same way. 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.
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/freezer
parts in the dishwasher.
Condenser
To clean the condenser fins:
First turn off the power at the circuit breaker
or fuse box. Wait about 30 minutes for the
condenser area to cool. Then remove the
decorative panel by lifting up and toward you.
Use a soft bristle brush to loosen dust and lint
on the condenser fins. Use a vacuum hose to
remove soil.
After cleaning: Reconnect power at the fuse box
or circuit breaker.
Replace the decorative panel.
