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.
Donot allow children to climb,stand or hang on the shelvesinthe 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.
Skinmay stick to these extremely cold surfaces. Donot store or usegasolineor other flammable
vapors and liquidsinthe vicinity of this or any
other appliance. Keepfingers out ofthe "pinch point" areas;
clearancesbetween the doorsand between
the doors and cabinet are necessarily small.
Becareful 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
that releasesthe cubes. Do not place fingers or
handson the automatic icemaking mechanism
while the refrigerator is plugged in.
Unplugthe refrigerator before cleaning and making repairs.
NOTE:Westrongly recommend that any servicing beperformed by a qualifiedindividua!.
Donot refreezefrozen foods which have thawed completely.
tL 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 a few days." Ifyou are getting rid of your old refrigerator,
pleasefollow the instructions below to help prevent accidents.
Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigerator or Freezer:
Take offthe doors.
Leavethe shelves in 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 safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against the use of an extension cord.
However,if you must usean extension cord, it isabsolutely necessarythat it be a UL-listed (inthe UnitedStates) or a CSAcertified (inCanada),3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding type plug
2
and outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 120volts.
WARNING!
HOW TOCONNECTELECTRICITY
Do not, under any circumstances,cut or removethe third (ground)prongfrom thepower cord. Forpersonalsafety,this appliance must be properly grounded.
ge.com
Thepower cord of this appliance is equipped with a 3-prong (grounding)plug which mates
with a standard 3-prong (grounding)wall outlet to minimizethe possibilitg of electric shock hazard
from this appliance. Have the wall outlet and circuit checked bg
a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet isproperlg grounded.
Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is gour personal responsibilitgand obligation to
have it replaced with a properlg grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
Therefrigerator should alwags be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which hasa voltage
rating that matches the rating plate.
Thisprovides the best performance and also prevents overloading house wiring circuits which could cause
a fire hazard from overheated wires. Never unplug gour refrigerator bg pulling
on the power cord. Alwags grip plug firmlg and pull straight out from the outlet.
Repairor replace immediatelg all power cords that have become fraged or otherwise damaged. Do not
usea cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either end.
When moving the refrigerator awag from the wall, be careful not to roll over or damage the power cord.
