outside
The door handles and trim. (:lean with a cloth
dampened with soapy water. Dry with a sod

Keep the outside clema. X_]i)e with a clean
cloth lightly dampened with mild liquid dish
detergent. Dry with a clean, sod cloth.
Do not wipe the reti'igerator 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.
The stainless steel panels and door hmadles
(on some models) should be regularly cleaned
with a commercially awfilable stainless steel
cleaner such as Slainle,ss Steel Mag'ic_ 1_1
Stainle,_s Steel Mag'i_ is awfilable to preserve
and protect the fine finish, through
GE Parts and Accessories, 800.626.2002,
or GEAl)pliances.com. Order part nmnber
_,_3X10X 15.
Do not use appliance wax or polish on the
stainless steel.
Cleaning
inside
To help prevent odors, leave an open box
of baking soda in the refl'igerator and fl'eezer
COUll) ai'tinents.
Turn off power at the circuit breaker or fuse
box before cloturing. If this is not practical,
wring excess inoisture ()tit of sponge or cloth
when cleaning around switches, lights or
controls.
Use warnl water and baking soda solution--
about a tablespoon (l 5 ml) of baking soda
to a quart (] liter) of water. This both cleans
and neutralizes odors. Thoroughly rinse
and wipe dry.
Other parts of the refrigerator-including
door gaskets, meat and vegetable drawers,
ice storage bin and all plastic parts-can be
cleaned the same way. ADer cleaning the door
gaskets, apply a thin layer of petrolemn .jelly to
the door gaskets at the hinge side. This helps
kee I) the gaskets from sticking and bending
out of shape.
Avoid clemfing cold glass shelves with hot
water because the extreme temperature
difference may cause them to break. Handle
glass shelves carefully. Rough hmldlh_g of
tempered glass can cause it to shatter.
Do not wash any plastic refrigerator parts in
the dishwasher.
CoTidenser
There is no need fi)r routine condenser
cleanings in normal home operating
environments. However; in environments that
may be particularly dusty or greasy, the
condenser should be cleaned annually
ti)r efficient refrigerator operation.
To clean the condenser:

For long vacations or absences, reillove tood
and shut ott power to tile refl'igerator at tile
fllse box or circuit breaker. Clean the interior
with a baking soda solution of one tablespoon
(15 ml) of baking soda to one quart (1 liter)
of water. I,eave tile doors open.
For shorter vacations, remove perishable foods
and leave controls at regular settings. However,
if tile room temperature is expected to drop
below 60°F (16°C), tollow tile same
instructions as for long w_cations.
Set the icemaker power switch to the O (off)
position and shut olI tile water supply to
tile refrigerator.

Tinning the temperature control to OI_T does
not remove power to the light circuit.
There are four light bulbs in tile top of tile
fl'esh li)od compartment.
To replace the bulbs:
1 Set tile Master I,ight switch in tile OFF
position to turn off tile lights. See {,'.sight{"lhe

PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE
REFRIGERATOR
DOES NOT OPERATE
• May be in defl'ost cycle when compressor does not operate fi)r about
30 minutes.
• Temperature control in the OFF position.
• If interior light is not on, refl'igerator may not be plugged in at
wall outlet.
• The fltse is blown/circuit breaker is trii)i)e(1. Replace fltse or reset
the breaker.
MOTOR OPERATES
FOR LONG PERIODS
OR CYCLES ON AND
OFF FRFQUENTLY
(Modern refrigerators
with more storage
space mad a larger
freezer require
more operating time.
They start and stop
often to maintain
even temperatures.)
• Normal when refl'igerator is first ph,gged in. Wait 24 hours fl)r tile
refrigerator to completely cool down,
• Tile new variable speed compressor is designed to ttm for longer
periods of time to optimize efliciencv and noise. You may notice tile
compressor and/or tim speeds accelerate based upon door openings
and/or increased food loads.
• You may hear the rims spinning at high speeds. This hal)pens when
the refl'igerator is first plugged in, when the doors are opened
fl'equently or when a large amount of tood is added to the
refrigerator or fl'eezer compartments. Tile rims are helping to
maintain tile correct temperatures.
• Door left open or package holding door open.
• If either door is open for over 3 minutes, you may hear tile rims
come on in order to cool the light.
• Hot weather or frequent (loot" openings. This is normal.
• Temperature controls set at tile coldest setting. See Temperature
ControLs.
OPERATING
SOUNDS
Refl_igerator is so quiet, that most of tile time wm will hear low or no
operating noise.
Normal tim air flow--one tim blows cold air through tile
fl'esh tood and fl'eezer compartments--another tim cools
the COilll)i'esso I" Ill otor.
Tile rims change speeds in order to provide optimal cooling and
energy savings.
These NORMAl. sounds will also be heard fl'om time to time:
• You may hear a whooshing or gurgling sound when tile doors
close. This is due to pressure equalizing within tile refrigerator.
• A water dripping noise may occm" during tile defl'ost cycle as ice
melts ti'om tile evaporator and flows into the drain pan.
• Tile flow of refl'igerant through tile fl'eezer cooling coils may
make a gurgling noise like boiling water.
• _,\'ater dropping on tile defl'ost heater can cause a sizzling,
i)oi)ping or buzzing so/ind during tile defrost cvcle.
• You may hear cracking or poi)ping sounds when tile refl'igerator is
first plugged in or dm'ing/atier tile defl'ost cycle. This hal)pens as
tile refl'igerator cools to tile correct temperature.
Electronic dampers click open and closed to provide optimal
cooling and energy savings.
Tile compressor may cause a clicking or chiq)ing sound when
attempting to restart (this could take up to 5 minutes).
The electronic control board may cause a clicking sound when
relaxls activate to control retiJgerator COilll)onents.
Ice cubes dropping into tile bin and water running in pipes
as icemaker refills.
The icemaker water wflve will buzz when the icemaker fills
with water.
