IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as

described in this Owner’s Manual.

■This refrigerator must be

properly installed and

located in accordance with

the Installation Instructions

before it is used.

■Do not allow children to

climb, stand or hang on the

shelves in the refrigerator.

They could damage the

refrigerator and seriously

injure themselves.

■Do not touch the cold

surfaces in the freezer

compartment, particularly

when hands are damp or wet.

Skin may stick to these

extremely cold surfaces.

■Do not store or use gasoline

or other flammable vapors

and liquids in the vicinity of

this or any other appliance.

■In refrigerators with

automatic icemakers, avoid

contact with the moving parts

of the ejector mechanism, or

with the heating element that

releases the cubes. Do not

place fingers or hands on the

automatic icemaking

mechanism while the

refrigerator is plugged in.

■Keep fingers out of the

“pinch point” areas;

clearances between the

doors and between the doors

and cabinet are necessarily

small. Be careful closing

doors when children are in

the area.

■Unplug the refrigerator

before cleaning and making

repairs.

NOTE: We strongly recommend

that any servicing be performed

by a qualified individual.

■Turning the control to the

OFF

position does not remove

power to the light circuit.

■Do not refreeze frozen

foods which have thawed

completely.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Operating Instructions

Installation Instructions Safety InformationTroubleshooting TipsCustomer Service

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions

should be followed, including the following:

WARNING!

IMPORTANT:

PROPER DISPOSAL OF THE REFRIGERATOR

Troubleshooting TipsInstallation Instructions Customer ServiceOperating InstructionsSafety Information

Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of

the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still

dangerous…even if they will sit for “just a few days.”

If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator, please

follow the instructions below to help prevent accidents.

Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigerator

or Freezer:

■Take off the doors.

■Leave the shelves in place so that children may not

easily climb inside.

CFC Disposal

Your old refrigerator has a cooling system that used

CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons). CFCs are believed to harm

stratospheric ozone.

If you are throwing away your old refrigerator, make

sure the CFC refrigerant is removed for proper disposal

by a qualified servicer. If you intentionally release this

CFC refrigerant you can be subject to fines and

imprisonment under provisions of the Federal Clean

Air Act.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.

Installation Instructions Safety InformationTroubleshooting TipsCustomer Service

HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY

Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third

(ground) prong from the power cord. For personal safety,

this appliance must be properly grounded.

The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a 3-prong

(grounding) plug which mates with a standard 3-prong

(grounding) wall outlet to minimize the possibility of electric

shock hazard from this appliance.

Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician

to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.

Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your

personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a

properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.

The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own individual

electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the rating

plate.

This provides the best performance and also prevents overloading

house wiring circuits which could cause a fire hazard from

overheated wires.

Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power cord.

Always grip plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet.

Repair or replace immediately all power cords that have become

frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks

or abrasion damage along its length or at either end.

When moving the refrigerator away from the wall, be careful not to

roll over or damage the power cord.

USE OF ADAPTER PLUGS

Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions,

we strongly recommend against the use of an adapter plug.

However, if you must use an adapter, where local codes permit, a

temporary connection

may be made to a properly grounded 2-prong

wall outlet by use of a UL-listed adapter available at most local

hardware stores.

WARNING!

The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned with the larger slot in

the wall outlet to provide proper polarity in the connection of the

power cord.

When disconnecting the power cord from the adapter, always hold

the adapter in place with one hand while pulling the power cord

plug with the other hand. If this is not done, the adapter ground

terminal is very likely to break with repeated use.

If the adapter ground terminal breaks,

DO NOT USE

the refrigerator

until a proper ground has been established.

Attaching the adapter ground terminal to a wall outlet cover screw does not

ground the appliance unless the cover screw is metal, and not insulated, and the

wall outlet is grounded through the house wiring. You should have the circuit

checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.

Troubleshooting TipsInstallation Instructions Customer ServiceOperating InstructionsSafety Information

USE OF EXTENSION CORDS

Because of potential safety hazards under certain

conditions, we strongly recommend against the use of an

extension cord.

However, if you must use an extension cord, it is absolutely

necessary that it be a UL-listed, 3-wire grounding type appliance

extension cord having a grounding type plug and outlet and that

the electrical rating of the cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and

120 volts.

REMEMBER…

Your continued health and safety are important to us.

Please read and follow this Safety Information carefully.

We want you to remain a happy and healthy part of our

GE family.

Fresh Food Control

The fresh food control maintains the temperatures

throughout the fresh food compartment.

Freezer Control

The freezer control maintains the temperatures

throughout the freezer compartment.

Moving the freezer control to

OFF

stops cooling in

both areas—fresh food and freezer—but does not shut

off power to the refrigerator.

How To Test Temperatures

Use the milk test for the fresh food compartment. Place a container

of milk on the top shelf and check it a day later. If the milk is too

warm or too cold, adjust the temperature controls.

Use the ice cream test for the freezer compartment. Place a

container of ice cream in the center of the freezer and check it after

a day. If it’s too hard or too soft, adjust the temperature controls.

After changing the controls, allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to reach the

temperature you have set.

About the controls on the refrigerator.

Initially set the fresh food and freezer controls at 5. If you want colder or

warmer temperatures, adjust the fresh food temperature first. When

satisfied with that setting, adjust the freezer temperature.
