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.
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 the freezer compartment to keep moisture from forming on the outside of the refrigerator during humid weather.

Tips on Freezing Foods
There are three essential requirements for efficient home freezing.
1. Initial quality.
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.
Freeze only top-quality foods.
Ice Cream
Fine-quality ice cream, with high cream content, will normally require slightly lower temperatures than more “airy” already-packaged brands with low cream content.
It will be
to determine the freezer compartment location and temperature control setting to keep your ice cream at the right serving temperature.
The rear of the freezer
compartment is slightly colder than the front.
3. Proper packaging. Use food wraps designed especially for freezing.
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 been completely thawed; meat, whether raw or cooked, can be frozen successfully only once.

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
Asparagus
Beets, topped
Blueberries
Carrots
Celery
As in any refrigerated storage area, it is recommended that odorous foods be stored wrapped—foods such as:
Broccoli
Brussels
sprouts
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.

Cleaning—Ouhide
—.
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 use a paste of non-precipitating water softener (such
brand) and water, or one teaspoon of 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. ‘

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 a
tablespoon of baking soda to a 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

be cleaned the same way. After cleaning door gaskets, apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly to the door gaskets at the hinge side. This helps keep the gaskets from
sticking and bending out of shape. If the freezer baskets don’t slide freely after cleaning, lubricate them with petroleum jelly. Do not use cleansing powders or other abrasive cleaners.
To help prevent odors, leave an 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.
Drain opening in freezer compartment. During yearly cleaning, remove bottom freezer basket and flush a solution of baking soda+ne teaspoon and two cups of hot (not boiling) water— through the drain line 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 a meat baster and baking-soda-and- water solution to force the clog through the drain line.
Keep the finish clean. Wipe with a clean cloth lightly dampened with kitchen appliance

Behind Refrigerator
Care should be taken in moving your refrigerator away from the wall. All types of floor coverings can be damaged, particularly cushioned coverings and those with embossed surfaces. Pull the refrigerator straight out and return it to position by pushing it straight in. Moving your refrigerator in a side direction may result in damage to your floor covering or refrigerator.
Condenser
The
condenser is located behind the base grille. For most efficient operation, remove the base grille and either sweep away or vacuum up dust that is readily accessible. For best results, use a brush specially designed for this purpose. It is available at most appliance parts stores. This easy cleaning operation should be done at least once a year.

Water filter accessory
The perfect companion to your automatic
icemaker—
Your ice cubes can only be as fresh-tasting as the water that produces them. That’s why it’s a good idea
to purify your water with a water filter. Its activated charcoal removes musty, stale odors and
unpleasant medicinal, metallic tastes. A porous fiber cartridge catches dirt, rust particles, sand and silt while special crystals reduce deposits of hard scale.
The water filter is an option at extra cost and is available from your GE dealer. Specify It has complete installation instructions and installs in minutes on 1/4”

Adjustable rollers behind the base grille enable you to When adjusting front rollers move the refrigerator away from the wall for cleaning. These rollers should be set so the refrigerator rests

How to connect electricity
For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a three-prong
(grounding) plug which mates with a standard three-prong (grounding)
wall outlet (Fig. 1) to minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from this appliance.
Use of Adapter Plug
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against use of
an adapter plug. However, if you
still elect to use an adapter, where local codes permit, a TEMPORARY CONNECTION may be made to a properly grounded two-prong wall outlet by use of a (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.
