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.

■Before replacing a burned-out

light bulb, the refrigerator should

be unplugged in order to avoid

contact with a live wire filament.

(A burned-out light bulb may

break when being replaced.)

■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.

■GE does not support any

servicing of the refrigerator.

■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.

Refrigerants

All refrigeration products contain

refrigerants, which under federal

law must be removed prior to

product disposal. If you are

getting rid of an old refrigeration

product, check with the company

handling the disposal about

what to do.

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. www.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 (on some models)

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.

Care and cleaning

Replacing the Light Bulb (on some models)

Unplug the refrigerator before replacing a burned-out bulb.

Setting the controls to OFF does not remove power to the

light circuit.

The light bulb is located behind the temperature control housing

and is visible through the slots in the housing.

Reach up through the opening at the bottom of the control

housing and gently unscrew the light bulb. Replace with a bulb

of the same or lower wattage.

Defrosting (on manual defrost models with freezer area)

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.

Care and cleaning of the refrigerator.

Defrost whenever frost on the inside surfaces of the storage area becomes 1/8 ″

(3 mm) thick. Never use a heater of any kind, scraper or sharp metallic

instrument to remove frost as it may damage the refrigerator or cooling

coils. ( A punctured cooling coil will cause serious problems and void

the warranty.)

To defrost, unplug the refrigerator or turn the temperature control

dial to the OFF position. Remove the contents and wipe inside

surfaces and shelves with a clean towel. If frost does not come off

easily, allow the frost to melt somewhat and wipe off.

After defrosting, make sure inside surfaces are dry; then return the

contents to the refrigerator, plug unit back in and set the

temperature control to the desired setting.

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.

Preparing to install the refrigerator.

Read these instructions completely and carefully.

Turn counterclockwise to raise,

clockwise to lower.

Refrigerator Location

■Do not install the refrigerator where the temperature will go below

50°F (10°C) because it will not run often enough to maintain

proper temperatures.

■Install it on a floor strong enough to support it fully loaded.

■If the 2 cubic foot model is placed on a countertop or stand,

the front surface of the door should be 3″ or more back from the

edge of the countertop or stand to avoid accidental tipping of the

appliance during normal use.

■Do not install it closer than 5″(13 cm) next to a range.

The following applies only to the 2, 3 and 4 Cubic Foot Models:

■Do not install it in a recessed area.

■Do not build in the refrigerator.

Clearances

Allow the following clearances for ease of installation and proper

air circulation.
