Operating Instructions

Stainless Stee! Refrigerator

Temperature

controls

FREEZER REFRIGERATOR

®

®

The temperature controls are preset in the factory at 37°F
for the fresh food compartment and O°F for the freezer
compartment. Allow 24 hours for the temperature to stabilize
to the preset recommended settings.

The temperature controls can display both the SETtemperature
as well as the actual temperature in the flesh food and freezer
compartments. The actual temperature may vary slightly
from the SET temperature based on usage and operating

environment.
Setting either or both controls to OFF stops cooling in both

the freezer and fresh food compartments but does not shut
off electrical power to the refrigerator.

NOTE; The refrigerator is shipped with protective film covering
the temperature controls. If this film was not removed during

installation, remove it now.

Performance

Air Flow

Sgstem

To change the temperature, press and release
the (_(warmer) or @ (colder) pad. The SETlight
will come on and the displag will show the set
temperature. To change the temperature, tap
either the ($) (warmer) or _')(colder)pad until
the desired temperature is displaged. Fresh food
temperatures can be adjusted between 34°F
and 44°Fand the freezer temperatures can be
adjusted between -6°F and +6°F.

Once the desired temperature has been
set, the temperature displag will return to
the actual fresh food and freezer temperatures
after 5seconds. Several adjustments mag

be required. Eachtime gou adjust controls,
allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to reach
the temperature gou have set.

The Performance Air-Flow Sgstem is designed to

maximize temperature control in the fresh food

and freezer compartments. This unique special

feature consists of the AirTower along the top

and back walls of the fresh food compartment

and the Air Tunnel on the bottom portion of

the freezer rear wall. Placing food in front of

the louvers on these components will not affect

performance.

To turn the cooling sgstem off, tap

the @ (warmer) pad for either the fresh food
compartment or the freezer until the displag
shows OFF.To turn the unit back on, press

the @(colder) pad for either the fresh food
compartment or freezer.The SETlight will

illuminate on the side gou selected. Then press
the @(colder) pad again (on the side where

the SETlight is illuminated) and it will go to
the preset points of O°Ffor the freezer and 37°F
for the fresh food compartment.

Although the Air Tower and the Air Tunnel
can be removed, doing so will affect temperature
performance. (For removal instructions, on-line,
24 hours a dag, contact us at GEAppliances.com

or call 800.444.1845. In Canada, call us at

the refrigerator compartment
will return to the original setting.

Once activated, the compressor will turn on
immediately and the fans will cycle on and
off at high speed as needed for 8 hours.
The compressor will continue to run until
the refrigerator compartment cools to
approximately 34°F(1°C),then it will cycle
on and off to maintain this setting. After
8 hours, or if TURBOCOOLis pressed again,
the refrigerator compartment will return
to the original setting.

NOTES:

• The refrigerator temperature cannot
be changed during TurboCool.

• The freezer temperature is not affected during
TurboCool.

• When opening the refrigerator door during
TurboCool, the fans wi!! continue to run if

they have cycled on.
