Cleaning—Outside
The door handles and trim (on some models) can be
cleaned with a cloth dampened with a solution of mild
liquid dishwashing detergent and water. Dry with a
soft cloth. Don’t wax handles or trim.
Keep the finish clean. Wipe with a clean cloth, lightly
dampened with kitchen appliance wax or mild liquid
dishwashing detergent. Dry and polish with a clean,
soft cloth. Do not wipe the refrigerator with a soiled
dishwashing cloth or wet towel. These will leave a
residue that can damage the paint.
Do not use scouring pads, powders or cleaners
containing bleach because these products can
scratch and weaken the paint finish.
Protect the paint finish. The finish on the outside of
the refrigerator 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 kitchen/appliance
wax when the refrigerator is new, and then at least
twice a year.
Appliance Polish Wax & Cleaner is available from
GE Service and Parts Centers.
CARE AND CLEANING
Under Refrigerator
For most efficient operation, you need to keep the
condenser clean. Turn temperature control to OFF.
Remove the base grille, if your refrigerator has one.
Sweep away or vacuum dust that is readily accessible
on condenser coils, then turn the control back on. For best results,
use a brush specially
designed for this
purpose. It is available
at most appliance part
stores. This easy
cleaning operation
should be done at
least once a year.

Cleaning—Inside
Clean the inside of the fresh food and freezer
compartments at least once a year. Unplug refrigerator
before cleaning. If this is not practical, wring excess
moisture out of sponge or cloth when cleaning around
switches, lights or controls.
Apply an appliance wax/polish to the inside surface
between the doors.
Use warm water and baking soda solution—about a
tablespoon of baking soda to a quart of water. This
both cleans and neutralizes odors. Rinse thoroughly
with water and wipe dry.
Other parts of the refrigerator—including door
gaskets, vegetable drawers, ice trays 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.
Do not use cleansing powders or other abrasive cleaners.
To help prevent odors, leave an open box of baking
soda in the rear of the refrigerator, on the top shelf.
Change the box every three months. An open box of
baking soda in the freezer will absorb stale freezer odors.
Do not wash any of your refrigerator’s plastic
parts in your automatic dishwasher.
