About ClimateKeeper2;" Ionsome models)

How it Works

TheClimateKeeper2 TM isthe industry's most
advanced refrigeration system,delivering

optimum temperature and humidity
performance to keepfood garden fresh longer

and reduce freezer burn.
TheClimateKeeperZ" system features two

evaporators-one for the refrigerator and one
for the freezer.

Thisprovides two separate cooling systems,
and separates the airflow between the fresh

food and freezer compartments during normal
cooling operations.*

Thisensures that the humidity levelsin the
fresh food compartment are significantly higher

than in a conventional system,** allowing fresh
produce and other unsealed foods to retain

their moisture content and freshness longer.

Hoisture sensitivefoods such as fresh fruit,

salads,rice,etc.,can now be stored on open
shelveswithout excessive moisture loss.

Dueto the higher humidity in the refrigerator,

you may on occasion experiencefog or

small amounts of moisture in the refrigerator
compartment. This isnormal and may

come and go as different food loads and
environmental conditions change. Wipe dry

with a paper towel if desired.
Theseparate airflow system minimizesthe

mixing of air between the two compartments,

which reduces fresh food odor transfer to

improve the taste of ice.

TheClimateKeeper2_"system also reduces
the number of defrosting cycles inthe freezer

evaporator, thereby reducing freezer burn.

*Freezer air is used in the CustomCool feature.

**Testingshows a higher levelof humidity in

theFreshFood sectioninClimateKeeperZ"
refrigeratorsversus conventional units.

Crisper Removal

Crisperscan easily be removed by pulling the
drawer straight out and lifting the drawer up

and overthe stop location.

If the door prevents you from taking out the
drawers,first try to remove the door bins.

If this does not offer enough clearance, the
refrigerator will need to be rolled forward

until the door opens enough to slidethe
drawers out. In some cases,when you roll the

refrigerator out, you will need to move the
refrigerator to the left or right asyou roll it out.

About the automatic ice maker. GEAppliances.com

A newly installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24 hours to begin making ice.

Automatic Ice maker

Theice maker will produce seven cubes per cycle-
approximately 100-!30 cubes in a 24-hour period,depending

on freezer comportment temperature, room temperature,
number of door openings and other useconditions.

If the refrigerator isoperated before the water connection is
made to the ice maker, setthe power switch in the OFFposition.

When the refrigerator has been connected to the water supply,
set the power switch to the ON position.

Theice maker willfill with water when itcoolsto 15°F(-10°O.
A newly installedrefrigerator may take !2 to 24 hoursto begin

making icecubes.
Youwill hear o buzzing sound each time the ice maker fills with

woter.
Throw away the first few botches of iceto allow the water line

to clear.
Besure nothing interfereswith the sweep of the feeler arm.

When the bin fillsto the levelof the feelerarm, the ice maker will
stop producing ice.It is normal for several cubes to bejoined

together.
If ice is not usedfrequently, old ice cubes will become cloudy,

taste stole and shrink.

Special note about dispenser models:
, Somemodels have o tilt-out icebin. Thebin con be tilted out

asshown in the illustrations,and it will hold itself up while you

take ice out or turn the ice maker power switch on and off. Be

sureto put the bin back in place before closing the door.

About the ice and water dispenser. Consome models)

important Facts About Your Dispenser

Do not add ice from trays or bags to
the storage drawer. It may not crush or
dispense well.

Avoid overfilling glass with ice and use
of narrow glasses. Backed-up ice can

jam the chute or cause the door in the

chute to freeze shut. If ice is blocking
the chute, poke it through with a
wooden spoon.

Beverages and foods should not be
quick-chilled in the ice storage drawer.
Cans, bottles or food packages in the
storage drawer may cause the ice

maker or auger to jam.
To keep dispensed ice from missing the

glass, put the glass close to, but not
touching, the dispenser opening.

Some crushed ice may be dispensed
even though you selected CUBED.

This happens occasionally when a few

cubes accidentally get directed to

the crusher.
After crushed ice is dispensed, some

water may drip from the chute.

Sometimes a small mound of snow

will form on the door in the ice chute.
This condition is normal and usually

occurs when you have dispensed
crushed ice repeatedly. The snow

will eventually evaporate.

Care and cleaning of the refrigerator.

Cleaning the Outside

Thestainless steel panels and door handles
(onsome models)can be cleanedwith

a commercially available stainless steel
cleaner.A spray-on stainless steel cleaner

works best.

Do not useappliance wax or polish
on the stainless steel.

Keepthe outside clean. Wipe with a
clean cloth lightly dampened with kitchen

appliancewax or mild liquid dishdetergent.
Dry and polishwith a clean, soft cloth.

Do not wipe the refrigerator with a soiled
dish cloth or wet towel. These may leave

a residue that can erode the paint. Do not
usescouring pads, powdered cleaners,

bleach or cleaners containing bleach
because these products can scratch and

weaken the paint finish.

Dispenser drip area.

Thedispenser drip area, beneath thegrille,shouldbewiped dry.Water left in this area

may leave deposits. Removethe deposits

Ifthis isnot practical, wring excessmoisture

out of sponge or cloth when cleaning around
switches, lights or controls.

Usewarm water and baking soda solution-
about a tablespoon (lS ml)of baking sodato
a quart (1liter)of water. This both cleans and

neutralizes odors. Rinseand wipe dry.

Use of any cleaning solution other than

that which is recommended, especially
those that contain petroleum distillates,

can crock or damage the interior of the
refrigerator.

Avoid cleaning cold glass shelves with hot

water because the extreme temperature

difference may cause them to break.
Handle glass shelves carefully. Bumping
tempered glass can cause it to shatter.

Do not wash any plastic refrigerator parts
