IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

HOW TO CONNECTEI CTRICITY

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 tiffs 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 responsibilily and obligation m have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.

The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a

voltage rating 1hat matches the rating plate.

DO NOT USEAN ADAPTER PLUG TO

CONNECT THE REFRIGERATOR TO A 2-PRONG OUTLET.

DO NOT USEAN EXTENSION CORD WITH THIS APPLIANCE.

This provides the best performance and also prevents overloading house wiring circuits

which could cause a fire hazard from

overheated wires.

Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always grip plug firmly- and pull straight out fi'om the outlet.

Repair or replace immediately all power cords that have become fi'ayed 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.

Operating Instructions

Bottom Mount Refrigerator

Set the

temperature controls

Your refrigerator has two controls that let you regulate the temperature in the fresh food and freezer compartments.

They have settings from 1 through 9, and are located at the top of the fi'esh food compartment.

The fi'eezer con_ol also has an OFF setting. 9 is the coldest setting, 1 is the warmest.

WHEN YOU FIRST TURN THE REFRIGERATOR ON, SET BOTH

CONTROLS AT 5.

For colder or warmer temperatures, adjust the desired compartment control one number

at a time.

IMPORTANT: When First setting controls, or adjusting them, allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to get cold.

NOTE: Turning the freezer control to the OFF position stops cooling in BOTH compartments,- fresh food AND freezer-- but does not shut off power to the refrigerator.

How to test

temperatures

Energy saver

switch

Use the milk test for the fresh food compartment. Place a container of milk on the

top shetfin the fi'esh food compartment. Check it a day later. If the milk is too warm or too cold, adjust the temperature consols.

The energy saver switch is located on the temperature control panel.

To reduce the amount of electricity required to operate your refrigerator, push switch to ENERGY SAVER setting.

This turns off the heater in your refrigerator that prevents moisture fi'om forming on the omside of the refrigerator.

With the heater turned off, there is a chance that moisture may- form on the outside of your

refrigerator, especially when the weather is humid.

Use the ice cream test for the freezer compartment. 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 consols.

Always allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to

reach the temperature you set.

The humidity is most likely to be high in the summer, in the early morning hours, and in

homes which are not air conditioned.

Over an extended period of time, moisture that forms on the refrigerator surface may- cause deterioration of the paint finish. It will be important to protect the finish by using appliance polish wax as described in the Care and Cleaning section.

Move the energy saver switch from the ENERGY SAVER setting and electricity- flows

through the low wattage heater which warms

the outside of the refrigerator. Under most conditions, this prevents the forming of moisture or water droplets.

Automatic Icemaker (on some models)

Bottom Mount Re/:rigerator

Automatic icemaker

A newly-installed refrigerator may take 8 to 12 hours to begin making ice.

The icemaker will produce eight cubes per cycle--approximately 100 cubes in a 24-hour period, depending on freezer compartment temperature, room temperature, number of door openings and other use conditions,

If your refrigerator Icemaker STOP(up)position before the water

The icemaker will fill with water when it cools to freezing, A newly-installed refi'igerator may

take 8 to 12 hours to begin making ice cubes.

Throw away the first few batches of ice. This flushes away- impurities in the water line,

lcemaking will continue until the feeler arm senses enough ice cubes in the storage bin, For maximum ice production, level the stored cubes with your hand occasionally, Be sure nothing interferes with the swing of the feeler arm,

The icemaker ejects cubes in groups of eight and it is normal for several cubes to be joined

together, Move the icemaker feeler arm to the STOP

(up) position when:

• home water supply is to be offfor several hours.

• ice storage bin is to be removed for a period of time,

• going away on vacation, at which time you should also turn off the valve in flae water

supply line to your refrigerator,

• turning the freezer control to the OFF position,

If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes will become cloudy and taste stale. Empty the ice storage bin periodically and wash it in

lukewarm water. Be sure to allow the storage bin to dly before replacing it:--<)thel_vise ice

cubes may stick to other parts of the icemaker, If this is your first icemaker, you'll hear

occasional sounds flaat may be unfamiliar. They- are normal icemaking sounds and are not a

cause for concern.

These drawers have individual, a_ljusmble humidity- controls that let you control the amount of cold air entering the drawers.

Slide the control all the way to the High setting and Ihe drawer provides higher humidity levels recommended for most leafy vegetables.

Slide the control all the way to the Low setting and 1he drawer provides lower humidity levels

recommended for most fruits.

Excess water that may-accumulate in the bottom of the drawers should be emptied and the drawers wiped d U.

The sealed snack pans retain high humidity for the convenient slorage of lunch meats and

cheese, hors d'oeuvres, spreads and snacks. To remove asnack pan, pull Ihe pan out and lift

Care and Cleaning

Bottom Mount Refrig'erator

Cleaning outside

Cleaning

inside

The door handles and trim can be cleaned with a cloth dampened with a solution of mild liquid

dishwashing detergent and water. DIT with a soft cloth. Don't use wax on the door handles

or trim.

The stainless steel panels and door handles

(on some models) can be cleaned with a

commercially available stainless steel cleaner such as Stainless SteelMagic.

To help prevent odors, leave an ()pen box of baking soda in the fi'esh food and

freezer compartmenks.

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 (11) of water. This both cleans and neutralizes odors. Rinse and wipe (liT.

Stainless Steel Magic is available at Ace, True

Value, Selwistar, HWI and other leading stores.

It is also available through GE Parts by calling 1-800-626-2000. 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 parts--can be cleaned the same way. After cleaning the door

gaskets, apply- a thin layer of petroleum jelly I()

flae 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.

Do not wash any plastic refrigerator parts in the dishwasher.

Condenser

To clean the condenser fins:

First turn offthe power at the circuit breaker or fuse box. Wait about 30 minutes for the

condenser area to cool. Then remove the decorative panel by lifting up and toward you.

Use a soft bristle brush to loosen dust and lint on the condenser fins. Use a vacuum hose to

remove soil. After cleaning: Reconnect power at the fuse box

or circuit breaker.

Replace the decorative panel.
