A DANGER! RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT
PROPERDISPOSAL OF THE REFRIGERATOR
GEAppliances.com
Childentrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past.
Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still dangerous...evenif
they will sit for 'lust a few days." Ifyou are getting rid of your old
refrigerator, please follow the instructions below to help prevent
accidents.
Before You Throw Awuy Your Old Refrigerutor or
Freezer'.
Takeoff the doors.
Leavethe shelvesin place so that 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 on extension
cord.
However, ifyou must use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL-listed(inthe United States)or a CSA-listed (in
Canada), 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding type plug and outlet and that the electrical rating of
the cord be !5 amperes (minimum) and !20 volts.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
A WARNING!
HOW TOCONNECTELECTRICITY
Do not, under anycircumstances,cut orremove the third [ground)prong from the power cord.Forpersonal safety,this
appliance must beproperly grounded.
The power cord of this appliance isequipped with a:S-prong
(grounding) plug which mates with a standard :S-prong
(grounding) wall outlet to minimizethe possibility of electric
shock hazard from this appliance.
Havethe wall outlet and circuit checked bya qualified
electrician to make surethe outlet isproperly grounded.
Ifthe outlet is a standard 2-prong outlet, it isyour personal
responsibility and obligation to have it replacedwith a properly
grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
The refrigerator should always be plugged into itsown individual
electrical outlet which has avoltage rating that matches the
rating plate.
Thisprovides the best performance and also prevents
overloading house wiring circuits which could causea fire
hazard from overheated wires.
Neverunplug your refrigerator by pulling onthe power cord.
Alwaysgrip plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet.
Repairor replace immediately all power cords that have
become frayed or otherwise damaged. Donot use acord that
shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either
end.
When moving the refrigerator away from the wall, be careful not
to roll over or damage the power cord.

About ClimateKeeper2;" Ionsome models)
How it Works
TheClimateKeeper2TM 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 betweenthe 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.
Moisturesensitivefoods such as freshfruit,
salads,rice,etc.,can now be stored on open
shelveswithout excessivemoisture loss.
Dueto the higher humidity inthe 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 ifdesired.
Theseparate airflow system minimizesthe
mixing of air between the two compartments,
which reduces fresh food odor transfer to
improve the taste of ice.
TheClimateKeeperZ" system also reduces
the number of defrosting cycles inthe freezer
evaporator, thereby reducing freezer burn.
*Freezerair is usedin the CustomCool feature.
**Testingshows a higher levelof humidity in

Crisper Removal
Crispers can easily be removed by pulling the
drawer straight out and lifting the drawer up
and over the 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 rolledforward
until the door opens enough to slidethe
drawers out. Insome cases,when you roll the
refrigerator out, you will needto 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 compartment 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 ONposition.
Theicemaker willfillwith water when itcoolsto 15°F(-10°O.
A newly installedrefrigerator may take !2 to 24hoursto begin
making icecubes.
Youwill hear a buzzing sound each time the ice maker fills with
water.
Throw away the first few batches of iceto allow the water line
to clear.
Besure nothing interfereswith the sweep of the feeler arm.
When the bin fillsto the levelof the feeler arm, the ice maker will
stop producing ice.It is normal for several cubes to bejoined
together.
If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes will become cloudy,
taste stale and shrink.
Special note about dispenser models:
, Some models have a tilt-out icebin.Thebin can be tilted out
asshown in the illustrations,and it will hold itself up while you
take iceout or turn the ice maker power switch on and off. Be
sureto put the bin back in place before closingthe door.

About the ice end water dispenser. Consome models)
important Facts About Your Dispenser
Do not add icefrom 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 inthe
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 afew
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.

18
Cleaning the inside
Tohelp prevent odors, leave an open box
of baking soda in the freshfood and freezer
compartments.
Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning.
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 (15ml) 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
in the dishwasher.
Thechill/thaw tray is dishwasher safe.

GEAppliances.com
When pushing the refrigerator back, make

Ifthe temperature can drop below freezing,
have a qualified servicerdrain the water
supply systemto prevent serious property
damage due to flooding.
Preparing to Move
