IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING!

Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner’s Manual.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

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

■

■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 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.

■

■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.

■

■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.

■

■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 0 (off) position does

not remove power to the light circuit.

■

■Do not refreeze frozen foods which have

thawed completely.

PROPER DISPOSAL OF THE REFRIGERATOR

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 (in the United

States) or a CSA certified (in Canada), 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.

DANGER! RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING!

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 (Adapter plugs not permitted in Canada)

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.

Cleaning the Outside

The door handles and trim. Clean with a cloth

dampened with soapy water. Dry with a soft

cloth. Do not use wax on the door handles

and trim.

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.

The stainless steel panels and door handles

(on some models) can be cleaned with

a commercially available stainless steel

cleaner such as Stainless Steel Magic.™

Stainless Steel Magic is available at Ace,

True Value, Servistar, HWI and other

leading stores. It is also available through

GE Parts and Accessories, 800.626.2002,

or visit our Website, GEAppliances.com.

In Canada, call 1.888.261.3055 or visit

our Website, geappliances.ca. Order part

number WX10X15.

Do not use appliance wax or polish on the

stainless steel.

Cleaning the Inside

To help prevent odors, leave an open box of

baking soda in the refrigerator and freezer

compartments.

Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning. If this

is not practical, wring excess moisture out

of sponge or cloth when cleaning around

switches, lights or controls.

Use an appliance wax polish on the inside

surface between the doors.

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.

After cleaning the door gaskets, apply a

thin layer of petroleum jelly to the door

gaskets at the hinge side. This helps keep

the gaskets from sticking and bending out

of shape.

Avoid cleaning cold glass shelves with hot water

because the extreme temperature difference may

cause them to break. Handle glass shelves

carefully. Bumping tempered glass can cause

it to shatter.

Do not wash any plastic refrigerator parts in

the dishwasher.

Under the Refrigerator

For most efficient operation, keep the

area under the refrigerator clean. Remove

the base grille and sweep away or vacuum

up dust.

For best results, use a brush specially

designed for this purpose. It is available at

most appliance parts stores.

Clean the condenser coils at least

once a year.

Preparing for Vacation

For long vacations or absences, remove

food and unplug the refrigerator. Move

the freezer control to the 0 (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 doors open.

Move the icemaker feeler arm (for

icemaker equipped models) to the STOP

(up) position and shut off the water supply

to the refrigerator.

If the temperature can drop below

freezing, have a qualified servicer drain

the water supply system (for icemaker

equipped models) to prevent serious

property damage due to flooding.
