WARNING!

Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner's Manual.

SAFETYPRECAUTIONS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:

This refrigerator must be properl} installed
and located in accordance with tile Installation

Instructions befiwe it is used.

Do not allow children to climb, st;rod or hang
on tile shelves in tile refi-igerato_: They could

damage tile refi_igerator and seriously iqj m'e
themselves.

Do not touch tile cold surlilces in tile fl'eezer
compartment when hands are damp or wet.

Skin may stick t() these extremely cokl s/mfhces.

Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable
\:q}ms and liquids in tile vicinity of this or any
other appliance.

In refrigerators with automatic icemake_s,
avoid contn ct with the In oving parts of the

ejector mechanism, or with tile heating element
locamd on tile bottom _ff tile icemake_: Do not

place finge_ or hands on tile automatic
icemaking mechanism while tile refiigerator

is plugged in.

Keep finge_ out of tile "pinch point" areas;
clearances between tile doo_ and between tile

doo_s and cabinet are necessarily small. Be careflfl
closing doms when children are in tile area.

Unplug tile reflJgerator before cleaning and

making repairs.

NOTE."We stronglyrecommendthat anyservl?l))gbe
performedby a qualified individual.

_ Setting either or both controls (some models only

have one control) to tile 0 (off)position does not

relllove power to tile light circ/lit.

DANGER!RISKOFCHILDENTRAPMENT

PROPERDISPOSALOFTHEREFRIGERATOR

Child entrapment and stdtocation are not

i)rol)lems of the past, Junked or abandoned

refrigerators are still dangerous,, .even if they will

sit fi)r "just a few days." If you are getting rid of
your old refiigerato_; please follow the instructions

below to hel I) prevent accidents.

Refrigerants

_M1refrigeration products contain refi_igerants,
which under ti_(leml law must be removed prior

to product disposal. If you are getting rid of an
old reli_igeration product, check with the company

handling the disposal about what to do.

Before YouThrowAway YourOld
Refrigeratoror Freezer:

Take off the (loox_.

i,eaxe the shelxes in place so that children

may not easily climb inside.

USEOFEXTENSIONCORDS

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

However; if you must use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessa_ T that it be a UiAisted (in the 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 15 amperes (minimum) and 120 w)lts.

IMPORTANTSAFETYINFORMATION.
READALLINSTRUCtiONSBEFOREUSING.

a, WARNING!

HOWTOCONNECTELECTRICITY

Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.

For personal safety this appliance must be properly grounded.

The power cord of this appliance is equipped with
a 3-prong (grounding) plug which nlates with a

standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to
minimize the possibili b' of electric shock hazard

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

qualNed electridan to make sure the outlet is
propedy grounded.

Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is

encountered, it is your personal responsibility and
obligation to have it replaced with a properly

grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
The refl-igerator should always be plugged into its

own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage
rating that matches the rating plate.

This provides tile best pe_fimnance and also
I)rexents oxerloading< house wiring circuits which

could cause a fire hazard from oxerheated wires.

Never unplug your refl-igerator by pulling on tile
power cord. Mways grip i)lug firefly and pull

straight out ti'oln tile outlet.

Repair or replace immediately all power cords that
have become fl'ayed or otherwise damaged. Do not

use a cord that sho_:s cracks or abrasion damage
along its length or at either end.

\4lien moving tile refi-igerator away from tile
wall, be carefld not to roll over or damage tile
power cord.

USEOFADAPTERPLUGS(Ad_pterplug_,otpermittedinConadaJ

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

Howe\'et; if )_)u must use an adapter; where local
codes i)e_nit, a temporaryconnectionma) be made

to a propedy grounded 2-prong wall outlet bv use
of a UiAisted adapter a\_filable at most local

hardware stores.

Tile larger slot in tile adapter must be aligned with
tile larger slot in tile wall outlet to provide proper

polarity in tile connection of tile power cord.

When disconnecting tile power cord fl'om tile

adapte_; always hold tile adapter in place with one
hand while pulling tile power cord i)lug with tile

other hand. If this is not done, tile adapter ground
te_ninal is very likely to break with repeated use.

If tile adapter ground temfinal brealcs, DO NOTUSE
tile refi-ioerator_ until a I_r°I ,)er ground has been

established.

Attaching the adapter ground terminal to a wall outlet
cover screw does not ground the appliance unless the

cover screw is metal, not insulated, and the wall outlet is
grounded through the house wking Youshould have the

circuit checked by a quadded electrician to make sure the
outlet ssproperly grounded.

Aboutthe controlsonthe refrigerator, vvvvw.GEAppliances.com

Thecontrols on your refrigerator will look like one of the following:

ControlSettings

Initially, set the control(s) at 5 (some models have only one control). Allow 24 hours for the
temperature to stabilize.

Several adjustments may be required. Adjust the control(s) one increment at a time and
aflow 12hours after each adjustment for the refrigerator to reach the temperature you

have set.

Setting the refrigerator control to 0 stops cooling in both the freezer and refrigerator
compartments but does not shut off electrical power to the refrigerator. The freezer

control (on some models) has no effect on electrical power to the refrigerator.

Controlsettings will vary based on personal preferences, usage and operating conditions,
and may require more than one adjustment. Factors that affect temperature include the
amount of food in the refrigerator or freezer, the frequency of door opening and the
temperature of food when it is placed in the refrigerator.

Normal operating sounds, vvvvw.GEAppliances.com

Newer refrigerators sound different from older refrigerators. Modern refrigerators

have more features and use newer technology.

Do you hear what I hear? These sounds are normal.

HUMMM...

-- WHOOSH...

• The new high efficiency compressor may mn faster

and longer than wmr old refl'igerator and you may
hear a high-i)itched hum or pulsating sotmd while

it is operating.

• _4m may hear a whooshing sound when the doo_ close.
This is due to pressure equalizing within the reflJgeratot;

CLICKS, POPS,

CRACKS and CHIRPS

• You may hear cracking or i)oi)ping sounds when the
refrigerator is first i)lugged in. This hal)pens as the

refrigerator cools to the correct teil/l)erattlre.

• The compressor may cause a clicking or chirping
sound when attempting to restart (this could take
up to 5 minutes).

• Expansion and contraction of cooling coils during
and after defl'ost can cause a cracking or i)oi)ping

SOtlnd.

• On models with an icemake_; after an icemaking
cycle, you may hear the ice cubes dropping into

the ice bucket.

WHIRl.

• You mav hear the rims spinning at high speeds.
This hai_pens when the refl'igerator is first i)lugged

in, when the doors are opened fl'equently or when
a large amount of timd is added to the reii'igerator

or fl'eezer comparm_ents. The tans are helping to
maintain the correct temperatures.

• The flow of refl'igerant through the fl'eezer cooling
coils may make a gm'gling noise like boiling water,

• _'ater dropping on the defrost heater can Catlse a

defl'ost cycle.

• A water dripping noise may occm" dm'ing the defl'ost
