_:,Inrefrigerators with automatic icemakers,avoid

contact with the moving parts of the ejector

mechanism, or with the heating element that
releasesthe cubes.Do not placefingers orhands

on the automatic icemaking mechanism while the

refrigerator is plugged in.
Unplugthe refrigerator before cleaning and making

repairs.

NOTE:Westrongly recommend that any servicing
be performed by a qualifiedindividua!.

_,Setting either or both controlsto O(off) does

not remove power to the light circuit.
Donot refreezefrozen foods which have

thawed completely.

Ai,DANGER! RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT

PROPERDISPOSAL OF THE REFRIGERATOR

Childentrapment and suffocation are not problems of
the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still

dangerous...evenif they will sit for "just afew days." If
you aregetting 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.

Leavethe shelvesin place sothat 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.

USEOF EXTENSION CORDS

Because of potential safetg hazards under certain conditions, we stronglg recommend against
the use of an extension cord.

However,if you must usean extension cord, it isabsolutely necessarythat it be a UL-listed (inthe United States)

or a CSAcertified (in Canada),]-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding type plug
and outlet andthat the electrical rating of the cord be 15amperes(minimum)and 120 volts.

GEAppliunces.com

WARNING!

HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY

Do not, under an_l circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
For personal safet_l, this appliance must be properlbt grounded.

Thepower cord of this appliance isequipped
with a 3-prong (grounding)plug which mates

with a standard 3-prong (grounding)wall outlet to
minimize the possibility of electricshock hazard from

this appliance.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified

electrician to make surethe outlet isproperly
grounded.

Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet isencountered,
it isyour personalresponsibility and obligation to

have it replacedwith a properly grounded 3-prong
wall outlet.

The refrigerator should always be plugged into its

own individual electricaloutlet which hasavoltage
rating that matches the rating plate.

This provides the best performance and also prevents

overloading housewiring circuits which could cause a
fire hazard from overheatedwires.

Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the
power cord. Always gripplug firmly and pullstraight

out from the outlet.
Repairor replaceimmediately all power cords that

have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not
usea cord that showscracks or abrasion damage

along its length or at either end.
When moving the refrigerator away from the

wall, be careful not to rollover or damagethe
power cord.

baking soda in the refrigerator and freezer
compartments.

Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning. If
this is not practical, wring excessmoisture

out of sponge or clothwhen cleaning around
switches,lights orcontrols.

Usean appliance wax polish on the inside
surface between the doors.

Usewarm water and baking soda solution-
about a tablespoon (15ml)of baking soda to
a quart (1liter)of water.This both cleansand

neutralizesodors. Rinseand wipe dry.

Thestainless steel panels and door
handles.

Stainlesssteel (onsome models)can be

Silver-plated plastic parts. Wash parts with

soap or other mild detergents. Wipe clean
with a sponge,damp cloth or paper towel.

Do not scrub with steel-wool pads or other
abrasive cleaners.

After cleaning the door gaskets, apply a thin
layer of petroleumjelly to the door gaskets at

the hinge side.This helpskeepthe 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

Trim kits and decorator panels.

For panel required models

Read these instructions completely and carefully.

Before You Begin

Some models are equipped with trim kits that allow you to install door panels. You can order
pre-cut black or white decorator panels from GE Parts and Accessories, 800.626.2002, or you

can add wood panels to match your kitchen cabinets.

Panels less than 1/4" (6 mm) thick

When installingwood panels lessthan 1/4" (6mm) thick, you need to create a filler panel,such as 1/8"

cardboard, that will fit between the face of the door and the wood panel. Ifyou are installing the pre-cut
decorator panels, pre-cut filler panels are included in the kit.Thecombined thickness of the decorator or

wood panel and the filler panel should be 11/]2" (8.7mm)with the panel itselfbeing nolarger than 1/4" (6mm).

Panels1/4"thickorless

1/4" max

Thehandle and the top and bottom trim stand infront of the surface of the door,which requiresthat the filler

be smaller in length and width than the panel.Usethe guidelinesbelow and tape the filler onto the back of the
panel.
