IMPORTANT SAFETYINSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:when using
this appliance, always exercise basic safety
precautions, including the following:
. Use this appliance only for its intended
purpose as described in this Owner's Manual.
. This refrigerator must be properly
installed in accordance with the Installation
Instructions before it is used.
Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang
on the shelves in the refrigerator. They could
damage the refrigerator and seriously injure
themselves.
Do not touch the cold surfaces in the freezer

careful closing doors when children are
in the area.
Unplug your refrigerator before cleaning
and making repairs.
NOTE:We strongly recommend that any
servicing be performed by a qualified
individual.
Before replacing a burned-out light bulb,
set the Master Light switch in the OFFposition

IMPORTANT SAFETYINSTRUCTIONS
HOW TOCONNECTELECTRICITY
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 wall 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 to 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.
This provides the best performance and also
prevents overloading house wiring circuits which
could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires.
DO NOT USEAN ADAPTER PLUG TO CONNECT
THE REFRIGERATOR TO A 2-PRONG OUTLET.
DO NOT USEAN 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 the
wall, be careful not to roll over or damage the
power cord.
Refer to the Installation Instructions for
particular electrical system specifications for this
refrigerator.

Careand Cleaning
Bottom Freezer Refrigerator
Cleaning
outside
Cleaning
inside
The door handles and trim. Cleanwith a cloth
dampened with soapy water. Drywith a soft cloth.
Keep the outside clean. 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. Donot 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.
Turn off power at the circuit breaker or fuse
box before cleaning. Ifthis 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 (!5 ml) of baking soda
to a quart (! liter) of water. This both cleans
and neutralizes odors. Thoroughly rinse
and wipe dry.
The stainless steel panels and door handles
(on some models) should be regularly cleaned
with a commercially available stainless steel
cleaner such as Stainless SteelMagid M
Stainless SteelMagic and the Monogram
polishing cloth are available to preserve
and protect the fine finish, through
GEParts and Accessories, 800.626.2002,
or GEAppliances.com.
For Stainless SteelMagic, order part number
WX!0X!5. For Monogram polishing cloth, order
part number WX72X!000!.
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 parts-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 gloss shelves with hot
water because the extreme temperature
difference may cause them to break. Handle
glass shelves carefully. Rough handling of
tempered glass can cause it to shatter.
Do not wash any plastic refrigerator parts
in the dishwasher.

PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE
REFRIGERATOR
DOES NOT OPERATE
. May be in defrost cycle when compressor does not operGte for Gbout
30 minutes.
. Temperature control in the OFFposition.
. If interior light isnot on, refrigerator may not be plugged in at wall outlet.
. The fuse is blown/circuit breGker is tripped. ReplGcefuse or reset
the breGker.
MOTOR OPERATES
FOR LONG PERIODS
OR CYCLES ON AND
OFF FREQUENTLY
. Normal when refrigerator is first plugged in. WGit 24 hours for the
refrigerator to completely cool down.
. The new variable speed compressor is designed to run for longer
periods of time to optimize efficiency and noise.You mGynotice the
compressor and/or fGn speeds GccelerGtebGsed upon door openings
(Modern refrigerators
with more storage
space and a larger
freezer require
more operating time.
They start and stop
often to maintain
even temperatures.}
Gnd/or increased food loads.
. You mGyheGrthe funs spinning ut high speeds. This happens when
the refrigerator isfirst plugged in,when the doors Greopened frequently
or when o Iorge omount of food is Gdded to the refrigerGtor or freezer
comportments. The funsore helping to mointuin the correct temperGtures.
. Door left open or puckGge holding door open.
. If either door is open for over 3 minutes, you mGy heGrthe fGns
come on in order to cool the light.
. Hot weGther or frequent door openings. This is normGI.
. Temperoture controls set ot the coldest setting. SeeTemperoture Controls.
THUMPING SOUND
WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED
. This is u normGI operGting sound.
. The mechGnism thGt closes the door mGkes aslight thumping sound as
it passes over its lever point, at approximately 80 degrees.
. Closing the door slowly will minimize the sound.
OPERATING
SOUNDS
. Refrigerator is so quiet, that most of the time you will hear low or no
operating noise.
. Normal fan air flow-one fan blows cold air through the fresh food
and freezer compartments-another fan cools the compressor motor.
. Thefans change speeds in order to provide optimal cooling and
energy savings.
. These NORMALsounds will also be heard from time to time:
- You may hear a whooshing or gurgling sound when the doors close.
This isdue to pressure equalizing within the refrigerator.
- A water dripping noise may occur during the defrost cycle as ice
melts from the evaporator and flows into the drain pan.
- The flow of refrigerant through the freezer cooling coils may make
a gurgling noise like boiling water.
- Water dropping on the defrost heater can cause a sizzling, popping
or buzzing sound during the defrost cycle.
- You may hear cracking or popping sounds when the refrigerator is
first plugged in or during/after the defrost cycle. This happens as the
refrigerator cools to the correct temperature.
- Electronic dampers click open and closed to provide optimal cooling
and energy savings.
- The compressor may cause a clicking or chirping sound when
attempting to restart (this could take up to 5 minutes).
- The electronic control board may cause a clicking sound when relays
activate to control refrigerator components.
- Ice cubes dropping into the bin and water running in pipes
as icemaker refills.
- The icemaker water valve will buzz when the icemaker fills
with water.
