Care and cleaning. Cleaning the Exterior Door Panel Before cleaning the front panel, make sure you know what type of panel you have. Refer to the last two letters of your model number. You can locate your model number on the left-hand tub wall just inside the door. If your model number ends with BB, CC, WW, SA or ES then you have a painted door panel. If your model number ends with SS, then you have a Stainless Steel door panel. If your model number ends with II, then you have an Integrated door panel. Follow the instructions below for cleaning the door panel for your specific model. Painted Door Panel (model numbers ending in BB-black, CC-bisque, WW-white, SA-silver or ES-slate) Use a clean, soft, lightly dampened cloth, then dry thoroughly. You may also use a good appliance wax or polish. Do not use scouring pads or powered cleaners because these products can scratch the finish. Stainless Steel Door Panel (model numbers ending in SS) For cleaning rust and tarnish, 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. For other blemishes and marks, use Stainless Steel Magic or a similar product using a clean soft cloth. Do not use appliance wax, polish, bleach or products containing chlorine on Stainless Steel. You can order Stainless Steel Magic™ # WX10X29 through GE Parts by calling 877.959.8688. In Canada, call 1-800661-1616. Integrated Door Panel (model numbers ending in II) This is a custom installed door panel, and you will need to refer to the cabinet manufacturers recommendations for proper cleaning. Cleaning the Control Panel To clean the control panel, use a lightly dampened cloth. Then dry thoroughly. Cleaning the Dishwasher Interior To clean and de-odorize your dishwasher, use citric acid or Lemi Shine®*, a detergent additive. Lemi Shine will break up mineral deposits, and remove hard water film and stains. You can order citric acid #WD35X151 through GE Parts by calling 877-959-8688 or visiting GEApplianceparts.com. In Canada, call 1-800-661-1616. You can purchase Lemi Shine at your local grocery store or by calling GE at the numbers above and ask for WX10X10019. Stainless Steel Inner Door The stainless steel used to make the dishwasher inner door provides the highest reliability available in a GE dishwasher. If the dishwasher inner door should be scratched or dented during normal use, it will not rust or corrode. These surface blemishes will not affect its function or durability. 12 * Lemi Shine® is a registered trademark of Envirocon Technologies, Inc.
