Care and Cleaning

Cleaning the Outside
IMPORTANT: Unplug the beverage center or wine
chiller before cleaning.
Keep the outside clean. The cabinet can be washed
with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly with clean
water. Never use abrasive scouring powders.
Use a glass cleaner or mild soap and water and a soft
cloth to clean the glass door. Do not use any abrasive
powders.
Wipe the controls with a damp cloth. Dry thoroughly.
Do not use cleaning sprays, large amounts of soap and
water, abrasives or sharp objects on the panel—they
can damage it. Some paper towels can also scratch the
control panel.
Cleaning the Inside
IMPORTANT: Unplug the beverage center or wine
chiller before cleaning.
The vinyl door gasket may be cleaned with mild soap
and water or a baking soda solution. Rinse well.
After cleaning the door gasket, apply a thin layer of
paraffin wax or petroleum jelly to the door gasket at the
hinge side. This helps keep the gasket from sticking and
bending out of shape.
Use a slightly damp 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.
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 or bottom two full extension drawers.
Sweep a damp cloth along the channel in the back of the
beverage center. Use a finger to sweep away any debris
from the drain hole.
Light Bulb Replacement
Unplug the beverage center or wine chiller before
replacing the light bulb.
In the Event of a Power Failure
If the power fails, open the door as infrequently as
possible to maintain the temperature.
8
Do not wipe the beverage center or wine chiller with a
soiled dishcloth or towel. These may leave a residue
that can erode the paint. Do not use scouring pads,
powdered cleaners, bleach or cleaners containing bleach
because these products can scratch and weaken the
paint finish.
Stainless steel. The stainless steel doors and door
handles (on some models) can be cleaned with
a commercially available stainless steel cleaner.
Cleaners with oxalic acid such as Bar Keepers Friend
Soft Cleanser™ will remove rust, tarnish and small
blemishes. Use only a liquid cleanser free of grit and
rub in the direction of the brush lines with a damp soft
sponge. Do not use appliance wax or polish on the
stainless steel.
Other parts of the beverage center or wine chiller
unit—including the full extension drawers and glass
shelves—can be cleaned the same way.
Do not use detergents, scouring powders, spray
cleaners or other harsh chemicals to clean the
interior.
CAUTION
Do not clean glass shelves or covers
with warm water when they are cold. Glass shelves and
covers may break if exposed to sudden temperature
changes or impact, such as bumping or dropping.
Tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small
pieces if it breaks.
Drain hole
To remove the light shield, push in the tab on the left
side of the shield and lower it. Replace with a 15 watt
appliance bulb or 4.5 watt UL Listed LED Lamp or call
800.GE.CARES (800.492.2737) during normal business
hours to order service part.
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors
and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
