IMPORTANT SAFETYINSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
ILWARN ING: Whenusing
this appliance, always exercise basic safety
precautions, including the following:
• Use this appliance onlg 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
compartment when hands are damp or wet.
Skin may adhere to these extremely cold
surfaces.
• Do not store or use gasoline or other
flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinitg
of this or any other appliance.
• In refrigerators with automatic icemakers,
avoid contact with moving parts of the ejector
mechanism, or with the heating element
located on the bottom of the icemaker. Do not
place fingers or hands on the automatic
icemaking mechanism while the refrigerator
is plugged in.
Keep fingers out of the "pinch point" areas:
clearances between the doors and between
the doors and cabinet are necessarily small.
Be careful closing doors when children are
in the area.
o
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 OFF position
to turn off the lights in order to avoid contact
with a live wire filament. (A burned-out light
bulb may break when being replaced.)
NOTE: Setting the refrigerator temperature
controls to OFF does not remove power to the
light circuit.
Do not refreeze frozen foods which have
thawed completelg.
DANGER: RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT
Child entrapment and suffocation are not
problems of the past. Junked or abandoned
refrigerators are still dangerous...even if they
will sit for '_justa few days/' If you are getting
rid of your old refrigerator, please follow the
instructions below to help prevent accidents.
Before You Throw Away Your Old
Refrigerator or Freezer:
• Takeoff the doors.
• Leave the shelves in place so that children

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
HOW TOCONNECT ELECTRICITY
Do not, under ang circumstances, cut or
remove the third {ground) prong from the
power cord. For personal safetg, this appliance
must be properlg grounded.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped
with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which motes
with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet
to minimize the possibilitg 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 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 usea cord that shows cracks
or abrasion damage along its length or at
either end.
When moving the refrigerator awag 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.

The door handles and trim. Cleanwith a cloth

Keep the outside clean. Wipe with a clean
cloth lightlg dampened with mild liquid dish
detergent. Drg with a clean, soft cloth.
Do not wipe the refrigerator with a soiled dish
cloth or wet towel. These maUleave 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
cam partments.
Turn off power at the circuit breaker or fuse
box 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 (15ml) of baking soda
to a quart (1 liter) of water. This both cleans
and neutralizes odors. Thoroughlg rinse
and wipe drg.
The stainless steel panels and door handles
(on some models) should be regularlg cleaned
with a commerciallg available stainless steel
cleaner such as Stainless Steel Magie7M
Stainless SteelMagic and the Monogram
polishing cloth are available to preserve
and protect the fine finish, through
GEParts and Accessories, 800.626.2002,
or ge.com.
For Stainless SteelMagic, order part number
WX10X!5. ForMonogram polishing cloth, order
part number WX72X10001.
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 wag. After cleaning the door
gaskets, applg a thin lager of petroleum jells
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 carefullg. Rough handling of
tempered glass can cause it to shatter.
Do not wash ang plastic refrigerator parts

the breaker.
, Normal when refrigerator is first plugged in.Wait 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 may notice the
compressor and/or fan speeds accelerate based upon door openings
{Modern refrigerators
with more storage
space and a larger

more operating time.
They start and stop

and/or increased food loads.
You may hear the fans spinning at high speeds. This happens when
the refrigerator isfirst plugged in,when the doors are opened
frequently or when a large amount of food is added to the

OPERATING
SOUNDS
, Refrigerator isso 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 is due to pressure equalizing within the refrigerator.
- Awater 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 wate_
- 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.
- Icecubes dropping into the bin and water running in pipes
as icemaker refills.
- The icemaker water valve will buzzwhen the icemaker fills
with water.
DOOR NOT CLOSING , Package holding door open.
