IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY

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 mates

with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to minimize the possibility of electric

shock hazard from this appliance.

Have the ,_-all outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is

properly grounded. Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is

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

properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet. Use of a GFI (Ground Fault Interruptor) is not

recommended for the refrigerator outlet. The refrigerator should always be plugged into

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

DO NOT USE AN ADAPTER PLUG TO

CONNECT THE REFRIGERATOR TO A 2-PRONG OUTLET.

DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD

WITH THIS APPLIANCE.

Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always grip plug firmly and

pull straight out from the outlet. Repair or replace immediately all power cords

that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks

or abrasion damage along its length or at either end.

When moving the refrigerator away from tile wall, be careflll not to roll over or damage the

power cord. Refer to the Installation Instructions for

particular electrical system specifications for this refrigeraton

Care and Cleaning

Bottom Freezer Refrigerator

Cleaning

outside

Cleaning inside

The door handles and trim. Clean with a cloth dampened with soapy ,a-aten Dry with a soft

cloth.

Keep the outside dean. Wipe with a clean cloth lightly dampened with mild liquid dish detergent. Dry with a clean, soft cloth.

Do not wipe the refrigerator with a soiled dish cloth or wet towel. These may leave a residue that can erode the paint. Do not use scouring pads, powdered cleaners, bleach or cleaners containing bleach because these products can scratch and weaken the paint finish.

To help prevent odors, leave an open box of baking soda in the refrigerator and freezer

compartments. Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning.

If 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 (15 ml) of baking soda to a quart (1 liter) of watel: This both cleans and neutralizes odors. Thoroughly rinse and wipe dry.

The stainless steel panels and door handles

(on some models) can be cleaned with a

commercially available stainless steel cleaner such as Stainless Steel Magic7 M

Stainless Steel Mag,_icis available at Ace, True

Value, Smwista_; HWI and other leading stores.

It is also available through GE Parts and

Accessories, 800.626.2002. Order part number WX10X15.

Do not use appliance wax or polish on the

stainless steel.

Other parts of the refrigerator-including

door gaskets, meat and vegetable drawers,

ice storage bin and all plastic pares-can be cleaned the same way. After cleaning the 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.

Avoid cleaning cold glass shelves with hot water because the extreme temperature difference

may cause them to break. Handle glass shelves

carefully. Bumping tempered glass can cause it to shatter.

Condense," There is no need for routine condenser

cleanings in normal home operating environments. However, in environments that

may be particularly dusty or greasy, the condenser should be cleaned annually for efficient refrigerator operation.

To dean the condenser:

1 Turn off the power at the circuit breaker

or fllse box. Wait about 30 minutes for the condenser area to cool.

2 Raise the grille panel at the top of the

refrigeratol:

3 Use a soft bristle brush to loosen dust and lint

on the condenser fins. Use a vacuum hose to remove soil.

4 Lower the grille panel. 5 Reconnect power at the fuse box or
