Care and cleaning of the freezer. GEAppliances.com
Cleaning Your Freezer
Outside. Protect the paint finish. The finish
on the outside of the freezer is a high quality,
baked-on paint finish. With proper care, it
will stay new-looking and rust-free for years.
Apply a coat of appliance polish wax when
the freezer is new and then at least twice a
year. Appliance polish wax also works well to
remove tape residue from freezer surfaces.
Keep the finish clean. Wipe with a clean cloth
lightly dampened with appliance polish wax
or mild liquid dishwashing detergent. Dry and
polish with a clean, soft cloth. Do not wipe the
freezer with a soiled dishwashing cloth or wet
towel. Do not use scouring pads, powdered
cleaners, bleach, or cleaners containing
bleach.
NOTICE:
Care should be taken in moving
the freezer away from the wall. All types of
floor coverings can be damaged, particularly
cushioned coverings and those with
embossed surfaces.
Inside. Clean the inside of your freezer at
least once a year. We recommend that the
freezer be unplugged before cleaning. If this
is not practical, wring excess moisture out of
sponge or cloth when cleaning in the vicinity
of switches, lights or controls.
Use warm water and baking soda solution–
about a tablespoon of baking soda to a
quart of water. Rinse thoroughly with water
and wipe dry. Do not use cleaning powders
or other abrasive cleaners. DO NOT wash
removable parts in a dishwasher.
An open box of baking soda in the freezer will
absorb stale freezer odors. Change the box
every three months.

Preparing to Move
Disconnect the power cord plug from the
wall outlet. Remove foods, defrost (on Manual
Defrost models) and clean the freezer.
Secure all loose items such as baskets by
taping them securely in place to prevent
damage.
Be sure freezer stays in upright position during
actual moving and during transportation. The
freezer must be secured during transportation
to prevent movement. Protect outside of
freezer with blanket.
