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&YCONNECTION 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 electricianto 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.)

POWERCONSUMPTION

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

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:’
Also note and follow otlzet. p).ecoz)tiol]s
