USER MAINTENANCE
INSTRUCTIONS
Clean the control panel with a
lightly dampened cloth. Dry
thoroughly. Do not use abrasives
or sharp objects on the panel. They
can damage it.
Clean the outside with a good
appliance polish wax. The outside
cabinet finish is durable, but it can
scratch. So use no scouring pads,
or harsh or gritty cleaners.
Appliance Polish Wax & Cleaner
(Cat. No. WR97X0216) is
available from GE Appliance
Parts Mart.
The inside usually takes care of
itself. If it should ever need
cleaning, use a mild cleansing
powder. Scouring pads and harsh
cleaners can mar the finish.

use scissors to ~ut the bag from the
under side. Then reinstall the top
taking care to engage the rear
brackets as shown.
DO NOT operate the dishwasher
without the wood top in place.
Care of the wood top
Before using, wipe well with a dry
cloth to remove surface dust.
Saturate a clean cloth with mineral
oil and polish all exposed wood
surfaces until they gleam. Allow
wood top to stand overnight to
absorb the oil and repeat the
treatment the next day. Allow to
stand for 4 to 6 hours and wipe off
excess oil with a soft, dry cloth.
Wood tops should not be used as a
place for thawing frozen foods,
even when protected by a sheet of
aluminum foil. Never let water
stand on the wood top.
To remove water stains, rub with a
cloth saturated with non-toxic
mineral oil (available at most
drugstores).
Should your top become too stained,
dirty or cut, sand with #000( 150) or
#000()(22()) sandpaper and then wipe
with a cloth saturated with non-toxic
mineral oil.
