Care and Cleaning

Door handles and trim—Clean with a cloth
dampened with soapy water. Dry with a soft cloth.

Keep the outside clean. Wipe with a clean 
cloth lightly dampened with mild liquid dish
detergent. Dry with a clean, soft cloth.

Do not wipe the refrigerator/freezer 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 Door Panels and Handles 
(on some models) 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.

To help prevent odors, leave 

an open box of baking soda 
in the refrigerator/freezer.

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/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.
