Cleaning
the inside
Unplug the outdoor/indoor refrigerator
before cleaning. If this is not practical,
turn the unit OFF and wring excess moisture
out of the cloth or sponge
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 outdoor/indoor
refrigerator
—including the door gaskets,
full extension drawers and glass shelves—
can be cleaned the same way.
Avoid cleaning cold glass shelves with hot water
because the extreme temperature difference
may cause them to break. Handle glass shelves
carefully. Rough handling of tempered glass
can cause it to shatter.
Cleaning
the outside
Your new stainless steel Monogram unit can
maintain its new luster for the life of the
product if maintained as described below.
Keep the outside clean.
Regularly polish the
stainless steel exterior and handle with Stainless
Steel Magic
™
and the Monogram polishing cloth,
to preserve and protect the fine finish. Do not
apply to plastic and rubber components.
To avoid scratching the fine finish of the
stainless steel, wipe in the same direction as the
grain when polishing or cleaning any stainless
steel surface. The grain on the outdoor/indoor
refrigerator runs top to bottom on all sides and
front to back on the top canopy.
For regular cleaning, use clean water and
a soft cloth. If stains persist, wash with mild
dish soap using a soft cloth or non-abrasive
pad. For more difficult stains, make a solution
consisting of 25% vinegar (white or red) and
75% water. Dip a soft cloth into the solution
and rub onto the stainless steel to remove the
stain. If these methods do not remove the
stains, dirt or debris, call 800.GE.CARES.
NOTE:
Always reapply Stainless Steel Magic
with the Monogram polishing cloth after
cleaning or if your unit comes in contact
with water, to protect the fine finish.
Stainless Steel Magic and additional
Monogram polishing cloth are available
through GE Parts and Accessories,
800.626.2002 or ge.com.
For Stainless Steel Magic, order part number
WX10X15. For Monogram polishing cloth,
order part number ZPOL.
Always remove any debris or obstruction from
the front of the toekick to ensure optimum
performance.
Do not use appliance wax or polish on any
stainless steel surface.
Do not use scouring pads, powdered cleaners,
bleach or cleaners containing bleach because
these products can scratch and damage the finish.
Warranty does not cover damage due to
improper cleaning methods.
Recommended cleaning is determined by
the installation location. Use this chart to
determine the frequency for cleaning your
outdoor/indoor refrigerator.
Drain hole
Periodically check the drain hole and channel
for any debris. If the drain is blocked,
condensation will not drain properly.
To check and clean the drain hole,
remove
the bottom two glass shelves. Sweep a damp
cloth along the channel in the back of the
outdoor/indoor refrigerator. Use a finger to
sweep away any debris from the drain hole.
