Care and cleaning

Cleaning the Unit

As is true of most appliances, proper care is needed to give you continued satisfaction. Before cleaning the compactor, turn
the knob to the OFF position and remove it. If you will be away for more than a couple of days, remove the compactor bag.
Lock the compactor by removing the knob and store it in a safe place.
To clean the outside:
Wipe with a clean damp cloth.
Painted panels:
Apply a coat of kitchen/appliance wax when the
compactor is new, and then several times a year.
Stainless steel panels:
Stainless steel panels can be cleaned with Cerama
Bryte® or a similar product using a clean, soft cloth.
Cerama Bryte is available from GE Appliances by calling
877.959.8688 (US) or 800.661.1616 (Canada).
