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. Also see the How To
Connect Electricity section.
Donot allow children to climb, stand or hang on
the shelves in the refrigerator. They could damage the refrigerator and seriously injure themselves.
Donot touch the cold surfaces in the freezer
compartment when hands are damp or wet. Skin may stick to these extremely cold surfaces.
Donot 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 inthe area.
Inrefrigerators with automatic icemakers, avoid
contact with the moving parts of the ejector mechanism, or with the heating element (located on the bottom of the icemaker) 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:Westrongly recommend that any servicing be performed by a qualified individual.
Before replacing a burned-out light bulb, the refrigerator should be unplugged in order to avoid
contact with a live wire filament. (A burned-out light bulb may break when being replaced.)
Turning the control to the OFFposition does not
remove power to the light circuit. Do not refreeze frozen foods which have thawed completely.
DANGER! RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT
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 sitfor "just a few
days." Ifyou 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 and discard separately.
Leavethe shelves in place so that children may not
easily climb inside.
If the refrigerator has a lock make it unusable.
Refrigerants
All refrigeration products contain refrigerants, which
under federal law must be removed prior to product
disposal. Ifyou are getting rid of on old refrigeration
product, checkwith 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
of an extension cord.
However, if you must use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL-listed, 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 120volts.
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 (] 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with (]
standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to minimize the possibility of electric shock h(]zurd from this
(]ppli(]nce. Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a
qualified electrician to m(]ke sure the outlet is properly grounded.
Where (]n ungrounded 2-prong w(]ll outlet is
encountered, it is your person(]l responsibility
(]nd oblig(]tion to h(]ve it repl(]ced with (] properly
grounded 3-prong w(]ll outlet.
The refriger(]tor should (]lw(]ys be plugged into its own individu(]l electric(]l outlet. This
provides the best perform(]nce (]nd (]lso prevents overlo(]ding house wiring circuits which could c(]use
(] fire h(]z(]rd from overhe(]ted wires. Ple(]se refer to the r(]ting pl(]te on the refriger(]tor for the correct
volt(]ge, w(]tt(]ge (]nd frequency. If the product plug does not fit your outlet, the product should be fitted
with (] new plug.
11/7 Insureproper
/,/,jJ ?round exists
beforeusing.
IMPORTANT:Therefitting of electric plugs and cables should bedone by a qualified technician or service
agent. In some countries the refitting of electric plugs and cables is only permitted when the work is
completed by a qualified technician.
If the power supply cord becomes damaged, it must
be replaced by a qualified service (]gent in order to (]void (] s(]fety h(]z(]rd.
Never unplug your refriger(]tor by pulling on the power cord. AIw(]ys grip plug firmly (]nd pull str(]ight out from the outlet.
Rep(]ir or repl(]ce immedi(]tely (]11power cords th(]t h(]ve become fr(]yed or otherwise d(]m(]ged. Do not use (] cord th(]t shows cr(]cks or (]br(]sion d(]m(]ge
(]long its length or (]t either end. When moving the refriger(]tor (]w(]y from the w(]ll, be
c(]reful not to roll over or d(]m(]ge the power cord.
Mains Lead Replacement
If the m(]ins le(]d on your refriger(]tor needs repl(]cing (]t (]ny time, it must be repl(]ced by (]
speci(]l le(]d which is obt(]in(]ble from your Ioc(]l de(]ler. A ch(]rge will be m(]de for the repl(]cement of
the m(]ins le(]d if you h(]ve d(]m(]ged the le(]d.
GEAppliances.com
USE OF ADAPTER PLUGS
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against the use of an adapter plug.
However, if you must use (]n (]d(]pter, where Ioc(]l codes permit, (] temporary connection m(]y be m(]de
to (] properly grounded 2-prong w(]ll outlet by use of (] UL-listed (]d(]pter (]v(]il(]ble(]t most Ioc(]lh(]rdw(]re
stores. The I(]rger slot in the (]d(]pter must be (]ligned with the
I(]rger slot in the w(]ll outlet to provide proper pol(]rity in the connection of the power cord.
When disconnecting the power cord from the (]d(]pter, (]lw(]ys hold the (]d(]pter in pl(]ce with one
h(]nd while pulling the power cord plug with the other h(]nd. If this is not done, the (]d(]pter ground
termin(]l isvery likely to bre(]k with repe(]ted use.
If the (]d(]pter ground termin(]l bre(]ks, DO NOT USEthe refriger(]tor until (] proper ground h(]s been
est(]blished.
Attaching the adopter ground terminal to o 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 hove the circuit checked by o qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.
READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETYINFORMATION CAREFULLY.
