SAFETYPRECAUTIONS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precaufions should be followed, including the following:

This refrigerator must be properly install ed

and located in accordance with tile Installation

Instructions before it is used.

Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang

on tile shelves in tile reti_igeratm: They could

damage tile reti-igerator and seriously iqj ure

themselves.

Do not touch tile cold surfi_ces in tile fl'eezer

compartment, particularly when hands are

damp or wet. Skin may stick to these extremely

cold S/llS[;ices.

Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable

vapms and liquids in tile vicinity (ff this or any

other appliance.

In refi_igeratm_ with atltoillatic icemake_,

avoid contact with tile moving parts of tile

ejector mechanism, or with tile heating element

that releases tile cubes. Do not place finge_s or

hands on tile autonlatic icemaking mechanism

while tile reti_igemtor is plugged in.

Keep finge_s out of tile "pinch point" areas;

clearances between tile (loo_s and between

tile doo_s and cabinet are necessarily small.

Be careflfl closing doms when children are

in tile area.

Unplug tile refligerator befiwe cleaning and

making repai_.

Do not refl'eeze ti'ozen foods which have

thawed completely.

ADANGER!RISKOFCHILDENTRAPMENT

PROPERDISPOSALOFTHEREFRIGERATOR

Child entrapnlent and suffocation are not problems

of tile past.Jm_ked or abandoned refrigeratm_ are

still dangerous...e;'en if they will sit for "just a fbw

days." If you are getting rid of vom" old refi_igerato_;

please follow tile instructions 1)elow to help prevent

accidents.

Before YouThrewAway YourOldRefrigerator

or Freezer:

Take off tile dome.

I,eaxe tile shelxes in place so that children may

not easily climb inside.

Refrigerants

_M1refrigeration products contain refi_igerants,

which i//tlSt be removed prior to product disposal.

If you are getting rid of an old refrigeration

product, check with tile company handling tile

disposal about what to do.

USEOFEXTENSIONCORDS

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 (in tile United

States) or a CSA-listed (in Canada), 3-wire gro/mding type appliance extension cord having a gro/mding

t}l)e plug and outlet and that tile electrical rating of tile cord be 15 amperes (minim urn) and 120 volts.

vvww.GEAppliances.com

WARNING!

HOWTOCONNECTELECTRICITY

Donot, 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 (gromMing) plug which mates

with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to

minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard

fi'om this appliance.

Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a

qualNed electridan to make sure the outlet is

properly gmtmded.

Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is

encotmtered, it is yore" personal responsibilit)' and

obligation to have it replaced with a propedy

grotmded 3-prong wall outlet.

The refligerator should al_z_ys be plugged into its

own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage

rating that matches the rating plate.

This provides the best pe_l'imnance and also

prevents overloading house Mfing circuits which

could cause a fire hazard fl'om overheated wires.

Never unplug yore" refrigerator by pulling on the

power cord. Mways grip plug firefly and pull

straight out ti'oln the outlet.

Repair or replace immediately all power cords that

have become fl'ayed or otherwise damaged. Do not

use a cord that sho_vs cracks or abrasion damage

along its length or at either end.

\4]_en moving the refl_igerator away fl'om the

wall, be carefld not to roll over or damage the

power cord.

USEOFADAPTERPLUGS

Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against the

use of an adapter plug.

However; if you must use an adapte_; where local

codes pemfit, a temporary connection may be made

to a properly grotmded 2-prong wall outlet by use

of a UI Aisted adapter available at most local

hardware stores.

The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned Mth

the larger slot in the _;fll outlet to provide proper

polarity in the connection of the power cord.

When (lisc(mnecting the power cord fl'om the

a(lapte_; 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 grotmd

temfinal is ve_' likely to break with repeated use.

If the adapter ground temfinal break% DO NOT USE

the refi_igerator tmtil a proper grotmd has been

established.
