Fig. 5
Becauseof potential safety hazards under cer­tain conditions, we strongly recommend against the use of an adapter piug, However, if you still elect to use an adapter, where local codes permit, a TEMPOR&Y CONNEC­TION may be made to a properly grounded
two-prongwall receptacle by the use of a UL listed adapter which is available at most local hardware stores (Fig.5), The larger slot in the adapter must be aligrledwith :he larger slot in the wall receptacle to provide proper polarity in the connection of the power cord.
CAUTION: Attaching the adapter ground ter­minal to the wall receptacle cover screw does not ground the appliance unless the cover
screw ismetal, and not insuiated, and the wall receptacle is grounded through the house wiring. The customer should have the circuit checked bya qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle 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. Shoulcl this happen, DO NOT USE the appliance un(i1a proper ground has again been established.
USAGE SITUATIONS WHERE APPLIANCE’S POWER CORD WILL BE DISCONNECTED FREQUENTLY
Do not use an adapter plug in these situations because frequent disconnecting of the power cord places undue strain on the adapter and leads to eventual failure of the adapter ground terminal. The customer should have the two-
prong wall receptacle replaced wi[h a three­prong (grounding) receptacle by a qualified electrician before using the appliance.
The refrigerator should alwaysbe plugged into its own individual electric al outlet (115volt. (XJhertz, single phase AC.)

POWER CONSUMPTION
The kilowatt hours per month (Kwh/Mo.) show n o n the fact tag at (ac heci to the inner door is the measure of the power
consumed when tested in accordance with
AHAM Standard Hl?F-2ECFT with power saver switch at the normal setting and at the setting recommended when moisture forms on refrigerator exterior.
The approximate monthly cost of opera-
tion can bc calculated by multiplying the Kwh/Mo. by the cost per kilowatt hour from your local
opc r;]tio n f’aries under ac [ual usage conclitions.
Your refrigerator is equipped with a power ;aycr switcfl located on the left side of the

Guide To Proper Temperatures:
If a container of milk is too warm or too

accordingly, If a gallon of ice cream remains firm to the
touch after being in the Freezer for a day, the Cold Control Dials are at the proper setting. If the ice cream’s firmness is not to your liking, adjust the dials accordingly.
Check a day after resetting either dial to make sure new setting is providing the tenl­perature you desire.
If you advance the Freezer compartment Cold Control Dial to “E” to freeze a quick supply of ice cubes or a large amount of food, be sure to reset the dial to its pre-
vious setting within a day.

This moisture can be expected only when the weather is humid and if your kitchen is not air conditioned, The switch should be
left on the “normal” position to save power except when moisture does form. Remem­ber to switch it back to normal when the weather is no longer humid.
TIPS
o Don’t open doors more often than neces­sary and close them as soon as possible, particularly in hot, humid weather.
*Store only foods requiring refrigeration
n your refrigerator.
If you (urn control to coldest position for
quick chilling or freezing, don’t forget, to turn it back to normitl setting,
Don’t overcrowd your refrigerator— over-
crowding can require extra electrical ener­gy to
keep everything cool,
e Before leaving the house or retiring for
the night, check to be sure doors haven’t
been left ajar inadvertently, e Don’t locate your refrigerator adjacent
to your range, a heating vent or where sun­shine will strike it if any other kitchen ar­rangement is possible,

The suggestions noted below apply to the operation of your household electric re­frigerator.The General Electric Compnny recommends tbese safety precautions:
L If your old refrigerator isstill around the housebutnotin use, be sure to remove the doors. This will reduce the possibility of danger to children.
2. Some refrigerators are equipped with automatic icemakers. Do not place fingers or hands on the automatic icemaking mechanism whiIe the refrigerator is pluggedin. This willprevent contact with themovingparts of the ejector mechanism, or with the heating elemeru that releases the cubes.
3. The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet (115volt,60 cycle,single phase AC). Thisisrecommended for best performance and to prevent overloading house wiring circuits, wbich could cause a possible fire hnzard from overheating wires.
USE OF EXTENSION CORDS–Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions,we strongly recommend against the use of nn extension cord. However, if you still elect to use an extension cord, it isabsolutelynecessarythat it be a ULlisted 3-wiregrounding type appliance extension cord and that the current carrying rating of the cord in amperes be equal to or great­er thzn the branch circuit size shown on
the rating namepiate of this appliance. Such extension cords are obtainable through your local service organization.
4. Repair or replace immediately all elec­tric service cords that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage alongitslength or at either the plug or con­nector end.
5. Never unplug your refrigerator by pull­ingonthe wire. Alwaysgrip the plug firmly and pullstraight out from the receptacle.
6. Your refrigerator is equipped with roll­ers so that it can be easily moved out from the wall. When rolling out the refrigerator becareftd not to roll over the service cord.
7. Do not operate your refrigerator in the
presence of explosive fumes.
8. A burned-out light bulb might break
when being replaced. In order to avoid contact with a live wire filament, it is rec­ommended that the refrigerator first be un­plugged when replacing a light bulb. Note: Turning control to OFF position does not remove power to the light circuit.
9. Always remove the power cord from walloutlet before removing the base grille.
10.Don’t refreeze frozen foods which have thawed completely unless you cook them after they have thawed. The United States Department of Agriculture in Home and Garden Bulletin No. 69 says, “...if foods have thawed only purtially and there are still ice crystals in the package, they may safelyberefrozen...Refrozen Food sbould be used as soon as possible.
“If foods have slowly thau,ed and have warmed gradually over a period of several days to a temperature of 40°F., they are not likely to be fit for refreezing. Under these conditions, meats, poultry, most veg­etables and some prepared foods may be­come unsafe to eat; most fruits and fruit products soon deveIop an undesirable flavor:’
