DANGER! RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT

Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described

in this Owner’s Manual.

WARNING!

■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 store or use gasoline

or other flammable vapors

and liquids in the vicinity of

this or any other appliance.

■Keep fingers out of the “pinch

point” areas; clearances

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 temperature

control dial to the

OFF

position stops cooling but

does not shut off power to

the refrigerator.

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions

should be followed, including the following:

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

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 environmental legislation.

PROPER DISPOSAL OF THE REFRIGERATOR

Safety Instructions Operating Instructions Troubleshooting Tips Consumer SupportInstallation Instructions

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.

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.

If you have only a standard

2-prong wall outlet, 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING!

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.

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.

READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY

INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

About the control

on the refrigerator.

GEAppliances.com

Safety Instructions Operating Instructions Troubleshooting Tips Consumer SupportInstallation Instructions

Control Settings

The temperature control maintains the temperature in the

refrigerator. Setting the control at

COOL

is the warmest setting. Setting

the control at

COLDEST

is the coldest setting. Set the control at

COLD.

Allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to reach the

COLD

temperature.

If you want a colder or warmer temperature, move the dial one

setting at a time. Moving the control to

OFF

stops cooling but does

not turn off the power to the refrigerator. Setting the control to one

of the snowflake positions may cause freezing in the refrigerator

depending on the room temperature.

How To Test Temperatures

Use the milk test. Place a container of milk on a shelf and check it

a day later. If the milk is too warm or too cold, adjust the temperature

control.

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

temperature you have set.

The control will look like one of the above.

Shelves

To remove a shelf, lift up the back slightly and pull forward.

Some models have multi-position shelves that can be moved

to different levels.

Ice Tray Compartment

This compartment is designed for production of ice cubes and

short-term storage (a few days at most) of some commercially-

frozen foods when in contact with the evaporator (cold surface

in compartment.)

Door Shelves

Shelves on the door provide convenient storage for frequently

used items. Some models have doors that are deep enough to

store large bottles.

Cleaning the Outside

Keep the outside clean.

Wipe with a clean cloth lightly dampened

with kitchen appliance wax or mild liquid dish detergent. Dry and

polish with a clean, soft cloth.

Do not wipe the refrigerator with a soiled dish cloth or wet towel. These may

leave a residue that can erode the paint. Do not use scouring pads, powdered

cleaners, bleach or cleaners containing bleach because these products can

scratch and weaken the paint finish.

Protect the paint finish.

The finish on the outside of the refrigerator

is a high quality, baked-on paint finish. With proper care, it will

stay new-looking and rust-free for years. Apply a coat of kitchen/

appliance wax when the refrigerator is new, and then at least

twice a year.

Cleaning the Inside

To help prevent odors,

leave an open box of baking soda in the

refrigerator.

Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning.

If this is not practical,

wring excess moisture out of sponge or cloth when cleaning

around the control.

Use warm water and baking soda solution–about a tablespoon

(15 ml) of baking soda to a quart (1 liter) of water. This both

cleans and neutralizes odors. Rinse and wipe dry.

Other parts of the refrigerator–including door gaskets, fruit

and vegetable drawers, and all plastic parts–can be cleaned

the same way.

Do not wash any plastic refrigerator parts in the dishwasher.

Preparing for Vacation

For long vacations or absences, remove food and unplug the

refrigerator. Move the control to the

OFF

position, and clean the

interior with a baking soda solution of one tablespoon (15 ml) of

baking soda to one quart (1 liter) of water. Leave the door open.

Preparing to Move

Secure all loose items such as shelves and ice trays by taping them

securely in place to prevent damage.

Be sure the refrigerator stays in an upright position during moving.

Defrosting

Defrost whenever frost on the wall of the ice tray compartment becomes

1/4

″

thick. Never use a sharp or metallic instrument to remove frost as

it may damage the cooling coils. (A punctured cooling coil will cause

serious problems and void the warranty.) We recommend using a plastic scraper.

Do not use any electrical device in defrosting your refrigerator.

To defrost:

■Remove foods and ice trays from the ice tray compartment.

■Set the temperature control dial at

OFF

position.

■On models without a drip tray, place a pan beneath the ice tray

compartment to collect water.

Defrosting usually takes a few hours. To defrost faster, keep the

door open. Also, pouring warm (not hot) water on the frosted part

may speed defrosting.

Do not use boiling water—

it may damage

plastic parts.

After defrosting:

■Empty water from the drip tray or from the pan placed beneath

the ice tray compartment. Wash the tray or pan with warm water.

■Wipe the ice tray compartment with a damp cloth.

■Turn the temperature control to the desired setting and

return food and ice trays to the refrigerator.

NOTE: If ice buildup is very thick, it may keep the ice tray compartment door

from opening or closing completely. Don’t try to force it open; after defrosting,

the door will open and close easily.
