Care and Cleaning
Stainless Stee! Refrigerator
Cleaning
the outside
The stainless steel panels and handles can be
cleaned with a commercially available stainless
steel cleaner such as Stainless Stee! MagicFn
Stainless Stee! Magic is available at Ace, True
Value, Servistar, HWI and other leading stores.
It is also available through GE Parts and
Accessories, 800.626.2002. Order part number
WX!OX!5.
Do not use appliance wax or polish
on the stainless steel.
Cleaning
the inside
To help prevent odors, leave an open box
of baking soda in the fresh food and freezer
compartments.
Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning.
If this is not practical, wring excess moisture
out of sponge or cloth when cleaning around
switches, lights or controls.
Use warm water and baking soda solution-
about a tablespoon (!5 ml) of baking soda to
a quart (1 liter) of water. This both cleans and
neutralizes odors. Rinse and wipe dry.
Use of any cleaning solution other than
that which is recommended, espeaallg those
that contain petroleum distillates, can crack
or damage the interior of the refrigerator.
Avoid cleaning cold glass shelves with hot
water because the extreme temperature
difference may cause them to break. Handle
glass shelves carefully. Bumping tempered
glass can cause it to shatter.
Do not wash any plastic refrigerator parts
in the dishwasher.
Behind the
refrigerator
Be careful when moving the refrigerator away
from the wall. All types of floor coverings can be
damaged, particularly cushioned coverings and
those with embossed surfaces.
Pull the refrigerator straight out and return it
to position by pushing it straight in. Moving
the refrigerator in a side direction may result
in damage to the floor covering or refrigerator.
When pushing the refrigerator back, make sure
you don't roll over the power cord or icemaker
supply line.
Preparing
for vacation
For long vacations or absences, remove food
and unplug the refrigerator. Clean the interior
with a baking soda solution of one tablespoon
(15 ml) of baking soda to one quart (1 liter)
of water. Leave the doors open.
Set the icemaker power switch to the O {off]
position and shut off the water supply to
the refrigerator.
If the temperature can drop below freezing,
have a qualified servicer drain the water supply
system to prevent serious property damage due
to flooding.
Preparing
to move
18
Secure all loose items such as shelves and
drawers by taping them securely in place
to prevent damage.
When using a hand truck to move the refrigerator,
do not rest the front or back of the refrigerator
against the hand truck. This could damage
the refrigerator. Handle only from the sides
of the refrigerator.
Be sure the refrigerator stays in an upright
position during moving.
