Hello and thank for supporting GE Appliances with your refrigerator purchase. The stainless steel handles will show fingerprints and require regular cleaning. Here is information about care for stainless steel appliances. https://products.geappliances.com/appliance/gea-support-search-content?contentId=16574 -- The quickest and cleanest way to eliminate the squeaking of a refrigerator door is to lubricate the top and bottom hinges with the below recommended oils, then work the door back and forth until the noise goes away.


Paraffin wax (not candle wax) - can also be used on the door gaskets
Petroleum jelly - recommended for hinges, door gaskets and Fresh Food drawers/bins (including rollers)
Mineral oil - general use anywhere, can be washed off -- Modern refrigerators have new features and are more energy efficient than older ones. The foam insulation used in new models has excellent insulating capabilities and is very energy efficient however it is not as sound absorbent as previously used fiberglass insulation.

Hard surfaces such as ceramic tile, vinyl or hard wood floors, walls and kitchen cabinets may make these operating sounds more noticeable. As a result, certain sounds may be unfamiliar on a new refrigerator at first. These sounds are normal and are usually an indication that the refrigerator is operating properly. We hope this information is helpful. Geoff@GEA
