REFRIGERATOR SAFETY INFORMATION
This is the safety alert symbol. This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others. All safety
messages will follow the safety alert symbol and the word “DANGER”, “WARNING”, or “CAUTION”. These words are defined as:
DANGER
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
WARNING
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury.
CAUTION
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
This refrigerator must be properly installed and located in
accordance with the Installation Instructions before it is used.
Unplug the refrigerator before making repairs, replacing a light
bulb, or cleaning.
Note: Power to the refrigerator cannot be disconnected by any
setting on the control panel.
Note: Repairs must be performed by a qualified service
professional.
Replace all parts and panels before operating.
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
CAUTION
Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water
when they are cold. Glass shelves and covers may break if
exposed to sudden temperature changes or impact, such
as bumping or dropping. Tempered glass is designed to
shatter into many small pieces if it breaks. Do not wash any
plastic refrigerator parts in the dishwasher.
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.
To reduce the risk of fire, explosion, electric shock, or injury when using your
refrigerator follow these basic safety precautions:
To reduce the risk of injury when using your refrigerator, follow these basic
safety precautions.
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.
To prevent suffocation and entrapment hazards to children,
remove the fresh food and freezer doors from any refrigerator
before disposing of it or discontinuing its use.
Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang on the door
handles or the shelves in the refrigerator. They could seriously
injure themselves.
Do not refreeze frozen foods which have thawed
completely.
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 ice making mechanism while the
refrigerator is plugged in.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING. GEAppliances.com
WARNING
Explosion Hazard.
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from refrigerator. Failure to do so can
result in fire, explosion, or death.
CONNECTING ELECTRICITY
WARNING
Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet
Do not remove the ground prong
Do not use an adapter
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.
Electrical Shock Hazard.
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. Do not use an
adapter.
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.
PROPER DISPOSAL OF YOUR OLD REFRIGERATOR
WARNING
Remove fresh-food and freezer doors from the refrigerator, prior to disposal. Failure to do so can
result in child entrapment which can lead to death or brain damage.
IMPORTANT:
Suffocation and child entrapment hazard.
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 fresh food and freezer 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.
READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

About the control on the refrigerator.
There is a temperature control in the fresh food compartment as well as the freezer
compartment. Initially set the control to the recommended normal settings in the fresh food
and freezer compartments. Allow 24 hours for the temperature to stabilize.
Select
Freezer Temp Control
Coldest Colder
Fresh Food Temp Control
Control Settings
Temperature Control
Recommended
Cold
The fresh food control and the freezer control should be
adjusted one increment at a time. Allow 12 hours after each
adjustment for the compartment to reach the temperature you
have set.
Thermistor
After each adjustment, check both the freezer and the fresh
food compartments. Changing the fresh food control can affect
the temperature of the freezer compartment. Likewise, changing
the freezer control can affect the temperature of the fresh food
compartment.
Control settings will vary based on personal preferences, usage
and operating conditions and may require more than one
adjustment. Factors that affect temperature include the amount
of food in the fresh food and freezer compartments, frequency
of door opening, and temperature of food when placed in either
compartment.
The thermistor located on the right side wall of the
fresh food compartment is one of the key elements
for temperature control. Keep all items away from the
thermistor cover as this will reduce the sensitivity of the
thermistor and cause temperature issues. Food may freeze
or become too warm depending on the compressor cycle if
the air flow is blocked.

About ice service.
Ice Trays
To make ice, fill the ice tray with water and set
it on a level surface in the freezer compartment.
Ice cubes will form in a few hours.
To release ice cubes, turn the tray upside down,
hold it over a container and twist both ends.
This storage drawer provide space to store
fruits, vegetables and meats.
To remove and replace the drawer and the
cover above it, the door must be fully opened.
In some installations, the refrigerator may
have to be moved away from the wall for the
door to be fully opened.
For only one or two ice cubes, leave the tray
right-side up, twist both ends slightly and
remove as many cubes as you want.
