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 chiller tray or cold surfaces in
the frozen food 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.
■
■Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and
making repairs.
NOTE: We strongly recommend that any servicing be
performed by a qualified individual.
■
■Setting the control to
OFF
does not remove power
to the light circuit.
■
■Don’t use an electrical device or sharp
instrument in defrosting the frozen food
storage compartment.
■
■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.
CFC Disposal
Your old refrigerator may have 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.
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-listed (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.

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.
If the outlet is a standard 2-prong 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.
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.

COLDEST
is the coldest.
Initially set the temperature control at
COLD
. After using the refrigerator for 24
hours, adjust the temperature control to the
setting that is best suited to your needs.
NOTE: Turning the temperature control to OFF
stops cooling but does not shut off power to
the refrigerator.
If you turn your household thermostat below 60°F at night...
... you may want to move the temperature
control a half step warmer. It should be left
at this setting for the entire period that you
are turning down your thermostat.
When you stop turning the thermostat
down, turn the temperature control back
to its regular setting.

Food storage suggestions.
Frozen Food Storage Compartment
This refrigerator’s frozen food storage
compartment will make ice and will
store pre-frozen foods for about two weeks.
It will not effectively freeze fresh foods or
provide long term storage for meats, poultry
or fish.
These products should be used
within several days.
Pre-frozen concentrates and high sugar
content foods, such as frozen orange juice
and ice cream will not remain completely
solid (frozen) and must be used quickly.
For
best results, such items should be placed in
direct contact with the refrigerated surface
(where frost forms first).
If additional firmness is desired in ice cream:
• Set temperature control to colder
position.
• Transfer ice cream from original carton
to a covered, flat-bottomed container.
For best storage of frozen foods:
Use moisture-proof wrapping material
and bags or regular freezer containers.
Commercially-frozen foods are usually
suitably packaged.
About the ice trays.
Ice Trays
To release ice cubes, invert the tray, hold it
over the storage bucket or bowl and twist
tray at both ends.
For only one or two ice cubes, leave the tray
right-side up, twist both ends slightly and
remove the desired number of cubes.
Trays can be stacked to save storage space.
For faster ice service when you need it,
place ice trays on the frozen food storage
compartment floor.
Wash trays in lukewarm water only. Do not
wash in an automatic dishwasher.

Fresh Food Storage Tips
Vegetables:
• Use the vegetable drawer—it has been
designed to preserve the natural moisture
and freshness of produce.
• Covering vegetables with a moist towel
helps maintain crispness.
• As a further aid to freshness, prepackaged
vegetables can be stored in their original
wrapping.
Unfrozen meats, fish and poultry:
• Always remove store wrappings.
• Rewrap in foil, plastic wrap or wax paper
and refrigerate immediately.
Cheese:
• Wrap well with wax paper or aluminum
foil, or put in a plastic bag.
• Carefully wrap to expel air and help
prevent mold.
• Store prepackaged cheese in its own
wrapping if you wish.

Care and cleaning of the refrigerator.
Outside
The door handles and trim
can be cleaned
with a cloth dampened with a solution of
mild liquid dishwashing detergent and
water. Dry with a soft cloth. Don’t use wax
on the door handles and trim.
Keep the finish clean.
Wipe with a clean
cloth lightly dampened with kitchen
appliance wax or mild liquid dishwashing
detergent. Dry and polish with a clean,
soft cloth. Do not wipe the refrigerator
with a soiled dishwashing 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.
Appliance Polish Wax & Cleaner
is
available from GE Appliance Service and
Parts Centers.
Inside
Inside the fresh food and frozen food storage
compartments
should be cleaned at least
once a year. 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 warm water and baking soda
solution—about a tablespoon of baking
soda to a quart of water. This both cleans
and neutralizes odors. Rinse thoroughly
with water and wipe dry. Other parts of
the refrigerator‚ including door gasket,
vegetable drawer, ice trays and all plastic
parts, can be cleaned the same way.
Do not use cleansing powders or other
abrasive cleaners. To help prevent odors,
leave an open box of baking soda in the
rear of the refrigerator, on the top shelf.
Change the box every three months.
An open box of
baking soda in the frozen
food storage compartment will absorb
stale odors.
Do not wash any plastic parts from your
refrigerator
in your automatic dishwasher.
Defrosting
Defrost whenever frost becomes 1/4″ to
1/2″ thick. Never use a sharp or pointed
instrument to remove frost as it may
result in damage to the cooling coils.
Use of a plastic scraper is recommended.
Do not use any electrical device in
defrosting your refrigerator.
To Defrost:
• Remove foods from frozen food
storage compartment and chiller tray.
To reduce the amount of thawing of
frozen food while defrosting the frozen
food storage compartment, store the
food in a picnic cooler or other
insulated container.
• Turn temperature control to
OFF
.
• Place pans of hot water in frozen food
storage compartment to speed melting
of ice.
After Defrosting:
• Empty water from chiller tray.
• Wash chiller tray in warm water and
wipe frozen food storage compartment
with a damp cloth.
• Remove vegetable pan and wipe up
spills in bottom of refrigerator.
CAUTION:
Do not touch refrigerator coils
or refrigerating surfaces, particularly
when hands are damp or wet.

Light Bulb Replacement
A 40-watt appliance bulb and socket are
located behind the light shield next to
the temperature control. To replace a
burned-out bulb, reach in behind the
light shield, unscrew the bulb, and screw
in a same-size, same-type bulb.
Before replacing a burned out light bulb,
unplug the refrigerator. Setting the
control to
OFF
does not remove power
to the light circuit.
Beneath and Behind the Refrigerator
• In the refrigeration process, it is
normal that heat be expelled in the
area under the refrigerator. Some
synthetic floor coverings will discolor
at these normal and safe operating
temperatures. Your floor covering
supplier should be consulted if you
object to this discoloration.
• Care should be taken in moving your
refrigerator away from the wall.
All types of floor coverings can be
damaged, particularly cushioned
coverings and those with embossed
surfaces.
• When pushing the refrigerator back,
make sure you don’t roll over the
power cord.
When You Move
Disconnect the power cord
from the wall
outlet, remove food and defrost
refrigerator. Then clean and dry
the interior.
Secure all loose items
such as ice trays and
drip tray by taping them securely in place
to prevent damage.
Be sure refrigerator stays in upright position
during actual moving and in van.
Refrigerator must be secured in van to
prevent movement. Protect outside of
refrigerator with blanket.
When You Go on Vacation
For extended vacations
or absences,
unplug the refrigerator. Clean the
interior with a baking soda solution
of one tablespoon of soda to one quart
of water. Wipe dry. To prevent odors,
leave an open box of baking soda in the
refrigerator. Leave doors open.
For shorter vacations,
remove perishable
foods and leave the control at regular
setting. However, if room temperature
is expected to drop below 40°F, follow
the same instructions as for extended
vacations.

Preparing to install the refrigerator.
Location
Do not install the refrigerator where
the temperature will be below 60°F.
At these temperatures the refrigerator
will operate but it will not cool foods
properly.
The refrigerator must be installed on a
floor strong enough to support it when
fully loaded.
Clearances
Allow the following clearances for ease of
installation, door opening and proper air
circulation:
Top: 2″
Back: 1″
Sides: 5/8″
Leveling Legs
Adjustable legs at the front corners of
the refrigerator should be set so the
refrigerator is firmly positioned on the
floor, and the front is raised just enough
that the door closes easily when opened
about halfway.
To adjust the leveling legs, turn legs
clockwise to raise the refrigerator,
counterclockwise to lower it.
