Door hmadles and trim--Clean with a cloth
dampened with soapy water. D_v with a sott
cloth.
Keep the outside clean. Wipe with a clean
cloth lightly dmni)ened with mild liquid dish
detergent. Dry with a clean, sott cloth.
To help prevent odors,
leave _lil open box
of baking soda in the
refrigera tor/ti'eezer.
Turn off power at the circuit
breaker or fuse box before
clemfing. If this is not practical,
wring excess nloisture out of sponge or cloth
when cleaning around switches, lights or
controls.
Use warm water and baking soda soh|tion--
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.
Do not wipe tile refl'igerator with a soiled dish
cloth or wet towel. These may leave a residue
that can damage the finish. Do not use
scouring pads, powdered cleaners, bleach or
cleaners containing bleach because these
products can scratch and damage tile finish.
Stainless steel Regularly clean and polish the
Stainless Steel Door Panels and Handles (on
some models) with a commercially available
stainless steel cleaner such as Stairdess Sled
Mag'ic _'_to preserve and protect tile fine finish.
Stai_de, ss Sled ,\lag'i_ is available thr(>ugh GE
Parts and Accessories, 800.626.2002, or

Do not use appliance wax or polish on tile
stainless steel.
Other parts of the refrigerator/freezer--
including door gaskets, meat and vegetable
drawers, ice storage bin and all plastic
parts--can be cleaned tile same way. Atter
cleaning the door gaskets, apply a thin laver of
petroleum jelly to tile door gaskets at tile hinge
side. This helps kee I) the gaskets from sticking
and bending ()tit of shape.
Avoid clemfing cold glass shelves with hot water
because the extreme temperature difference
may cause them to break. Handle glass shelves
carefully, Rough handling of tempered glass
cml cause it to shatter.
Do not wash any plastic refrigerator/freezer
parts in the dishwasher.

Clearances
Do not install the refrigerator/freezer where
temperatures will be below 60°F (16°C) because
it will not run otten enough to maintain proper
temperatures, and tile refrigerator will develop
high internal humidity.
If the refl'igerator/fl'eezer is to be installed in a

Leveling These products have a 4-point leveling system.
The front is supported by leveling legs, the
rear is sui)ported bx wheels.
For proper installation, the refrigerator/
freezer must be placed on a level surface of
hard material the stone height as the rest of the
flooring. This surface should be strong enough
to support a fully loaded refrigerator/freezer,
or approximately 1,200 lbs. each. See the
Installation Instructions (Pub. No. 49-60073-3)
for complete directions.
No other clearances at top, sides or back are
required. See tile Installation Instructions
