Cleaning—Inside
Unplug the refrigerator and remove food, shelves and
trays. Wash inside with warm water and baking soda
solution—about two tablespoons of baking soda to a
quart of water. Then rinse and dry.
Don’t use cleansers such as soaps, detergents,
scouring powder or spray cleaners-they may cause
odors inside the refrigerator.
Wash ice cube trays, drip tray and shelves in mild
detergent solution and dry with a soft cloth.
Wipe outside of refrigerator with a soft cloth
dampened with soapy water or Appliance Polish Wax
Cleaner (Cat. No. WR97X216), available from GE
Appliance Service and Parts Center. Use only mild,
soapy water to clean the door gasket.
Never use acids, chemical thinner, gasoline, benzine
or the like for cleaning any part of the refrigerator.
Boiling water or benzine may deform or damage
