;_JiUnplug tile reflJgerator befin'e cleaning and

making repai_.

NOTE: Westrongly recommendthatanyservlkingbe
performedby a quafified individual

i?_:Tm'ning tile control to tile OFFposition does

not remove power to tile light circuit.

_J/Do not refl'eeze fl'ozen foods which have

DANGER!RISKOFCHILDENTRAPMENT

PROPERDISPOSALOFTHEREFRIGERATOR

Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems
of tile past.Junked or abandoned refrigeratm_ are

still dangerous...even if they will sit fin" "just a fb'w
days." If you are getting rid of yore" old reflJgeratoi;

please follow tile instructions 1)elow to hel I) prevent
accidents.

Before YouThrewAway YourOldRefrigerator
or Freezer:

!i_ Take off tile dora3.

!i_:I,eave tile shelves in place so that children may

not easily climb inside.

Refrigerants

M1 refrigeration products contain refi_igerants,
which I//tlSt be removed prior to l)roduct 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.

Howe\'e_; 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)pe i)lug and outlet and that tile electrical rating of tile cord be 15 amperes (minim urn) and 120 w)lts.

a, WARNING!

HOWTOCONNECTELECTRICITY

Donot, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. For

personal safe_ this appfiance must be properly grounded.

ge.com

The power cord of this appliance is equipped

with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates
with a standard 3-pr(mg (grounding) wall outlet to

minimize the possibiliQ, of electric shock hazard
fl'om this appliance.

Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a
qualified electridan to make sure the outlet is

properly grounded.

Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is

encountered, it is your personal responsibiliQ' and
obligation to have it replaced with a properly

grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
The reli-igerator should alwa D be plugged into its

own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage
rating that matches the rating plate.

This provides the best pe_tom_ance and also
I)rexents oxerloading, house wiring circuits which

could cause a fire haa_rd from oxerheated wires.
Never unplug your refrigerator bv pulling on the

power cord. Mways grip plug firefly and pull
straight out fl'om the outlet.

Repair or replace immediately all po_vr cords that
have become fl'a)'ed or otherwise damaged. Do not

use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage
along its length or at either end.

\,_]_en moving the refrigerator away fl'om the
wall, be careflll not to roll over or damage the
power cord.

About the control on the refrigerator.

COOL

The temperature control on your refrigerator regulates the
temperature in the fresh food and freezer compartments.
Initially set the control at COLD.

OFF

Adjust the control one increment at a time, and aflow 12hours

after each adjustment for the refrigerator to reach the
temperature you set.

COLD

COLDEST

ControlSettings

The temperature control maintains the
temperature in both the fl'esh fi)od and fl'eezer

compartments. Setting the control at COOLis the

wam_est setting. Setting the control at COLDEST

is the coldest setting. Moving the control to

the OFF position stops cooling in both areas--

To replace the drawer and the cover above it, the
door must be flflly opened. In some installations,

the reliigerator may have to be moved away fl'om

Normal operatingsounds.

Newer refrigerators sound different from older refrigerators. Modem refrigerators

have more features and use newer technology.

Do you hear what I hear? These sounds are normal.

HUMMM...

-- WHOOSH...

• The new high efficiency compressor may mn taster
and longer than wmr old refl'igerator and wm may

hear a high-i)itched hum or pulsating sound while
it is operating.

• _m may hear a whooshing sound when the (loo_ close.
This is due to pressure equalizing within the retiJgeratoi;

CLICKS, POPS,

CRACKS and CHIRPS

• You may hear cracking or i)oi)ping sounds when the
refrigerator is first plugged in. This hal)pens as the

refrigei'ator cools to the correct teil/l)erattlre.

• The compressor may cause a clicking or chiq)ing
sotmd when attempting to restart (this could take
up to 5 minutes).

• Expansion and contraction of cooling coils during
and after defl'ost can cause a cracking or i)oi)ping

SOtlnd.

• On models with an icemake_; after an icemaking
cycle, you mav hear the ice cubes dropping into

the ice bucket.

WHIR!

• You may hear the rims spinning at high speeds.

This hal)pens when the refrigerator is first plugged
in, when the doors are opened frequently or when

a large amount of fi)od is added to the refl'igerator
or fl'eezer compartments. The rims are helping to

maintain the correct temperatures.

WATERSOUNDS

• The flow of refl'igerant through the fl'eezer cooling
coils may make a gm'gling noise like boiling water.

• X_'ater dropping on the defl'ost heater can Catlse a
sizzling, I)oI)ping or buzzing SOtlild dm'ing the

defl'ost cycle.

• A water dripping noise may occur during the defl'ost
cycle as ice melts from the ewq)orator and flows into

the drain pan.

• Closing the door mav cause a gurgling sound due to
pressure equalization.
