Help us help you...

Read this book carefully.

It is intended to help you operate and maintain your new refrigerator properly.

Keep it handy for answers to your questions.

If you don’t understand something or need more help,

write (include

your phone number): Consumer Affairs

GE Appliances Appliance Park Louisville, KY 40225

Write down the model and serial numbers.

You’ll see them on a label at the bottom, just inside the fresh food compartment door.

These numbers are also on the Consumer Product Ownership Registration Card that came with your refrigerator.

Before sending in this card, please write these numbers here:

Model Number

Serial Number

Use these numbers in any correspondence or service calls concerning your refrigerator.

If you received a damaged refrigerator,

immediately contact the dealer (or builder) that sold you the refrigerator.

Energy-saving tips

Location of your refrigerator is important. Avoid locating it next to your range, a heating vent or where the sun will shine directly on it.

● Don’ t open the doors more often

than necessary. . Close the doors as soon

possible, particularly in hot, humid weather.

● Be sure the doors are closed

tightly. Before leaving the house or retiring for the night, check to be sure the doors haven’t been left open accidentally.

. Store only those foods requiring refrigeration in your refrigerator.

● Wipe moisture from bottles and

cartons before putting them in the refrigerator.

Keep foods covered to reduce moisture buildup inside the refrigerator.

. If you turn the controls to the coldest position for quick chilling or freezing, be sure to turn them back to regular settings.

. Don’ t overcrowd your refrigerator. Overcrowding can require extra electrical energy to keep everything cool.

When

mo%7ing

your refrigerator away from the wall, be careful not to roll over

damage the

power cord.

. After your refrigerator is in operation, do not touch the cold surfaces in the f’reezer compartment, particularly

when hands are damp

wet.

Skin may

adhere

to these

extremely cold surfaces.

● Do not place fingers or hands

on the automatic

mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged in. This

will prevent contact with the moving parts

of the ejector

mechanism, or with

the

heating

element that releases

[he cubes.

● Don’t refreeze

f’rozen

foods

which have thawed completely.

The United States Department of

AgricultLlre

Home

and Garden

Bulletin No.

says:

“...

YoLl

may safely refreeze frozen foods that have thawed if they still contain ice crystals or if they are

still

cold-below

40”F.

“... Thawed ground meats, poultry

fish that have

an)’

off-odor or off-color should not be refrozen and should not

eaten. Thawed ice cream should be discarded. If the odor or color of any food is poor or questionable, get rid of it. The

food

may be dangerous to eat.

“Even partial thawing and refreezing reduce the eating quality of foods, particularly fruits,

vegetables and prepared

foods.

The

eating

quality of red

lmeats

is affected less than that of many other foods. Use refrozen foods as soon as possible to save as much of their eating quality as you can.”

“

If your old refrigerator is still around the house but not in use, be sure to remove the doors. This

will reduce the possibility of danger to children.

● Unplug your refrigerator:

A. Before making any repairs. Note: We strongly recommend

that any servicing be performed by a qualified individual.

B. Before cleaning. C. 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.)

Note: Turning control to OFF position does not remove power to the

light

circuit.

● Do not store or use gasoline or

other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

Installation Requirements

(continued)—

IMPORTANT...Please

Read Carefully

Use of Adapter Plug

Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against use of an adapter plug. However,

you still elect to use an adapter, where local

codes permit, a TEMPORARY

CONNECTION may be made to

properly grounded two-prong

wall

outlet by use of a UL listed adapter

(Fig. 2) available at most local

hardware stores.

The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned with the larger slot in the wall outlet to provide proper

polarity in the connection of the

power cord.

CAUTION: Attaching adapter ground terminal to wall outlet cover screw does not ground the appliance unless cover screw is metal, and not insulated, and wall outlet is grounded through house wiring. You should have the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.

When disconnecting the power cord from the adapter, always

hold the adapter with one hand. If this is not done, the adapter ground terminal is very likely to break with repeated use.

Should the adapter ground terminal break, DO NOT USE the appliance until a proper ground has again been

established.

Use of Extension Cords

Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against the use of an extension cord. However, if you still elect to 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 120 volts.

The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own individual electrical

outlet—

( 115 volt,

Hertz, or

100

volt, 50 Hertz. single phase AC). This is recommended for best performance and to prevent overloading house wiring circuits. which

cou]d

cause a fire hazard from overheating wires.

Refrigerator Location

Do not install refrigerator where temperature will go below

60°F.

because it will not run often enough to maintain proper temperatures.

Do install it on a floor strong

enough

Rollers

Adjustable rollers behind the base grille enable you to move the refrigerator away from the wall for cleaning. These rollers should be set so the refrigerator rests firmly on the floor. To assure that the doors will close automatically from a

halfway-

open position,

the;e

is a built-in

tiit

from the front to the back of the cabinet. Side-by-side refrigerators also have specially designed door hinges that lift both doors slightly when opened. allowing the force of gravity to help close them securely.

To adjust rollers,

remove the base grille by grasping it at the bottom and pulling it out.

Turn

roller

adjusting screws

clockwise to raise refrigerator, counterclockwise to lower it. Use adjustable wrench (3/8” hex head

bolt) or pliers.

When adjusting front rollers for proper door closure, we recommend

that

the bottom front edge of the cabinet be approximately 5/8” from the floor.

To replace base grille,

align prongs

on back of grille with clamps in cabinet and push forward until grille snaps into place.

●

Ice should not be dispensed

into thin glasses, fine china or

delicate crystal—they can

crack

or chip from the combined pressure of your

hand

pressing them against

the

cradle

and ice dropping into the

container.

Ice should be dispensed before filling glass with soda or other beverage mixes. This will

splashing which is annoying

and

which, if the splash reaches the ice and water selector switch, could

●

Beverages and foods should not be quick-chilled in the ice storage bin.

Cans, bottles or

food

packages in the storage bin may cause the icemaker to malfunction.

● Ice other than that produced

by your icemaker should not be added to the ice storage bin—it

may

not crush or dispense well.

Before Using Your Icemaker and Dispenser

you use your refrigerator before

Under certain rare circumstances, ice cubes may be discolored. usually appearing with a green-bluish hue. The cause of this unusual discoloration is apparently due to a combination of factors such as certain characteristics of local waters, household plumbing and the accumulation of copper salts

in an inactive water supply line which feeds the icemaker. Continued consumption

such discolored ice cubes may be injurious to health.

such discoloration is observed, discard the ice cubes and contact your GE Factory Service Center or an authorized Customer Care[’’Servicer.

Operating Your Refrigerator

Set the Temperature Controls

FREEZER

C INITIAL SETTING E COLDEST

INITIAL SETTING 5

~RESHFooD

COLDEST 9

Your refrigerator has two controls that let you regulate the temperature in the fresh food and freezer

compartments.

INITIALLY, set the FRESH

FOOD controls at 5 and the FREEZER control at C.

For colder or warmer temperatures,

adjust the desired compartment control one letter or number at a time.

IMPORTANT

When initially setting the controls, or when adjusting them, allow 24 hours for the temperatures to stabilize, or even out.

Note:

lkmning

the fresh food

control to

“OFF>>

stops cooling in BOTH compartments-fresh food AND freezer—but does not shut off power to the refrigerator.

How to Test Temperatures

Use the milk test for the fresh food compartment. Place a container of milk on the top shelf in the fresh food compartment. Check it a day later. If the milk is too warm or too cold, adjust the temperature controls.

Use the ice cream test for the freezer compartment. Place a container of ice cream in the center of the freezer compartment. Check it after a day. If it’s too hard or too soft, adjust the temperature controls.

Always allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to reach the temperature you set.

If you turn your household thermostat below

60°F.

at night

. . .

you may want to turn the

lettered

control one step colder, as from “C” to

“D?’

Cooler temperatures in the house may cause the compress to operate less frequently, thus allowing the freezer compartment to warm somewhat. To protect your frozen food supply, leave your

lettered

setting at this colder setting for the entire winter or for whatever period of time you are turning down your thermostat. This is especially important when the thermostat is

turned down for an extended period. This change should have no effect

on your fresh food compartment. However, if freezing occurs, turn the numbered control one step warmer, as from “5” to “4”.

When you stop turning the thermostat down, turn temperature controls back to their regular setting.

Automatic Energy Saver System

You won’t find an “energy saver”

switch on this refrigerator.

Warm liquid from the refrigerator’s condenser is automatically circulated around the front edge of the freezer compartment to help keep moisture from forming on the outside of the refrigerator during humid weather.

Many refrigerators use special electric heaters. This refrigerator needs none. That’s why there is no “energy saver” switch.. there’s no need for it.

No Defrosting

It is not necessary to defrost the freezer or fresh food compartments. Your refrigerator is designed and equipped to defrost itself automatically.

Tips on freezing foods

There are three essential requirements for efficient home freezing.

1. Initial quality. Freeze only

top-

quality foods.

Freezing retains quality

and flavor: it cannot improve quality.

2. Speed. The quicker fruits and vegetables are frozen after picking, the better the frozen product will be. You’ll save time, too, with less culling and sorting to do.

3. Proper packaging. Use food

wraps designed especially for freezing: they’re readily available

most

food

stores.

To freeze meat, fish and poultry, wrap well

in freezer-weight foil (or other heavy-duty wrapping material) forming it carefully to the shape of the contents. This expels air. Fold and crimp ends of the package to

provide a good, lasting

seal.

Don’t refreeze meat that has completely thawed; meat, whether raw or cooked, can be frozen successfully only once.

Limit freezing of fresh (unfrozen) meats or seafoods to number

pounds at a time

General Electric Food-Saver System

Moist ‘n Fresh Drawer

The full-width top drawer is designed to keep

unwrapped foods

fresh by retaining the natural moisture content of foods such as:

●

Artichokes

● Cherries

● Plums

●

Asparagus

● Corn

●

Radishes

● Beets, topped ● Currants

●

Rhubarb

. Blueberries

● Greens, leafy ● Spinach

. Carrots . Lettuce

. Tomatoes,

● Celery

. Parsley

ripe

. Peas, green

As in any refrigerated storage area,

it is recommended that odorous foods be stored wrapped—foods

such as:

● Broccoli

●

Cabbage

. Parsnips

. Brussels

. Cauliflower

●

Turnips

Sprouts

●

Green Onions

Storage time will depend upon the

type of food and its condition when

placed in the drawer. Excess water which may accumulate

in the bottom of the Moist ‘n Fresh drawer should be poured out and the drawer wiped dry.

The Moist ‘n Fresh drawer is

partially sealed by gaskets attached to the cover at the front and back edges.

Always push the drawer all

the way in.

Convertible Meat Keeper

The Convertible Meat Pan drawer has its own cold air duct to allow a

stream of cold air from the freezer compartment to flow around the drawer.

The variable temperature control

regulates the air flow from the

freezer compartment.

Moist ‘n Fresh

drawer—

close tightly —

Convertible Meat

Keeper—

Set control lever to MEAT—the coldest setting—to store fresh meats. If lever is left in meat position for a long period of time, some frost may form on the inside of the drawer.

Set control lever to VEG to convert the drawer to normal refrigerator temperature and provide extra vegetable storage space. Cold air duct is turned off.

Variable settings between these extremes can be selected.

Drawer Removal

Drawers will stop before coming all the way out of refrigerator to help prevent contents from spilling onto floor. Drawers can easily be removed by tilting up slightly and pulling past “stop” location.

To remove drawers when the fresh food compartment door cannot be opened fully:

Remove food from the shelf above the Moist ‘n Fresh drawer and take out the shelf. Take food off of the glass cover and out of the drawer.

Care and Cleaning

-leaning—Outside

The water and ice dispenser spill shelf should be wiped dry

immediately to prevent spotting.

Water left on the

shelf

may leave

deposits

that

you

can

remove by

soaking with undiluted vinegar.

You can also

Lux a

paste of

non-

precipitating water softener (such

as Calgon

brand) and water, or one

teaspoon

citric acid

powder per pint of hot tap water. Soak until the deposit disappears or becomes loose enough to rinse away. Usually 30 minutes soaking time is adequate. Avoid using wax on the spill

shelf

and trim.

The door handles and trim can be cleaned with a cloth dampened with a solution of mild liquid dishwashing detergent and water.

Dry with a soft cloth. Don’t use

wax on the door handles and trim.

Keep the finish clean. Wipe with

clean

cloth lightly dampened

,th

kitchen appliance wax or mild

liquid dishwashing detergent.

Dry

and polish with a

clean,

soft cloth. Do not wipe the refrigerator with a soiled dishwashing cloth or wet

towel.

These may leave a residue that can erode the paint. Do not use scouring pads. powdered cleaners, bleach or cleaners containing bleach because these products can scratch and weaken the paint finish.

Protect the paint finish. The finish on the outside of the refrigerator is

high quality. baked-on paint finish. With proper care, it will stay

new-

looking and

rust-free for years. Apply a coat of kitchen/appliance wax when the refrigerator is new

and then

least twice a year.

Appliance Polish Wax & Cleaner

(Cat. No. WR92X0216) is available

from GE Appliance Parts Marts.

Cleaning—Inside

Inside the fresh food and freezer compartments should be cleaned at least once a year. Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning.

If this is not practical. wring excess moisture out of sponge or cloth when cleaning around switches, lights or controls.

Use warm water and baking soda solution—about

tablespoon of

baking soda to

quart of water. This both cleans and neutralizes odors. Rinse thoroughly with water and wipe dry.

Other parts of the

refrigerator-

including door gaskets, meat

and

vegetable drawers, ice storage bin and all plastic parts—can be cleaned the same way. Do not use cleansing powders or other

abrasive cleaners.

To help prevent odors, leave

open box of baking soda in the rear

of the refrigerator, on the top shelf.

Change the box every three

months. An open box of baking soda in the freezer will absorb stale freezer odors.

Do not wash any plastic parts from your refrigerator in your automatic dishwasher.

Drain opening in freezer compartment. During yearly clean

ing,

remove bottom

freezer basket and flush a solution of baking soda—one teaspoon and two cups

of hot (not boiling)

water—through the drain 1 ine with the help of a meat baster. This will help eliminate odor and reduce

the

likelihood of a clogged drain line. If drain becomes

clogged, use

meat baster and

baking-soda-and-

water solution to force the clog through the drain line.
