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.

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.

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!
7
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.

Troubleshooting TipsInstallation Instructions Customer ServiceOperating InstructionsSafety Information
The type of packaging used and the storage temperatures will affect
how long food will keep in the refrigerator.
New food storage guidelines are constantly being developed.
Consult the County Extension Service for the latest information on freezing and
storing foods.
Food Storage
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.
How To Test Temperatures
You won’t find an energy saver switch on this refrigerator.
Warm liquid from the refrigerator’s condenser is automatically
circulated around the front edge of the freezer compartment to
help keep moisture from forming on the outside of the refrigerator
during humid weather.
Many refrigerators use special electric heaters. This refrigerator
needs none. That’s why there is no
energy saver
switch…there’s no
need for it.

Refrigerator Doors
The refrigerator doors may feel different than the ones
you are used to. The special door opening/closing
feature makes sure the doors close all the way and are
securely sealed.
When opening and closing the door you will notice a
stop
position. If the door is opened past this
stop
point,
the door will remain open to allow you to load and
unload food more easily. When the door is only partially
open it will automatically close.
The resistance you feel at the
stop
position will be
reduced as the door is loaded with food.
When the door is only partially
open it will automatically close.
Beyond this stop the door will
stay open.
