Care and cleaning

CARE AND 

CLEANING

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).

To clean the drawer interior:

1

  Remove the bag. See the 

Removing a Full Trash Bag

 

section.

2

  Wear protective gloves. There may be bits of glass in 

the drawer. Press the side door latch down.

3

  Hold the side door latch down and tilt the side of the 

drawer until the latch clears the drawer front.

4

  Wipe with a damp cloth.

5

  Press the side door latch down while pressing the side 

to the upright position. Lock the side door latch.

To clean the cabinet interior:

1

  Pull the drawer out until it stops. Note the tracks in 

which the drawer rollers move.

2

  Wear protective gloves. Lift the front to clear the drawer 

stops. Grab the drawer on both sides. Pull it out the rest 
of the way and set it aside.

3

  Vacuum inside of the cabinet. Liquid spills or wet trash 

should be cleaned up by hand, or use a vacuum 
designed to pick up liquid.

4

  Wash, rinse and dry the inside.

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.
