ge.com
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.
Cleaning the Unit
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 can be cleaned with

Hold the side door latch and tilt
the side of the drawer until the latch
clears the drawer front. The drawer

sliding it out.
Wash with a damp cloth using warm,
soapy water. Rinse and then dry with a

If the drawer side was removed, slide it

Grab the drawer on both sides. Pull it
out the rest of the way and set it aside.
Vacuum inside of the cabinet. Liquid
spills or wet trash should be cleaned
up by hand, or use a vacuum designed
