IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
HOW TO CONNECT EIJ ?,CTI CITY
Do not, under ally circumstances, cut or
remove the third (ground) prong from the
power cord. For personal safety, this appliance
must be properly grounded.
Tile power cord of this appliance is equipped
with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates
with a standard S-prong (gromlding) wall
outlet to minimize the possibility of electric
shock hazard from this appliance.
Have tile wall outlet and circ/dt checked bv a
qualified electrician to make sure tile outlet is
properly gromlded.
Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is
encolmtered, it is yore" personal responsibility
and obligation to have it replaced with a
properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
Use of a GFI (Grolmd Fatflt Intermptor) is not
recommended for tile refrigerator outlet.
The refl'igerator should alwa):s be plugged into
its own individual electrical outlet which has a
w_ltage rating that matches the rating plate,
This provides tile best perfin'mance 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 mlplug yore" refl'igerator by pulling on
the power cord. Always grip plug firmly and
pull straight out fl'om the outlet,
Repair or replace immediately all power cords
that have become fl'aved or otherwise
damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks
or abrasion damage along its length or at
either end.
When II/oving the refl'igera tot away from the
wall, be careflfl not to roll over or damage tile
power cord.

Cleaning

inside
The door hmadles mid trim. Clean with a cloth
&unpened with soapy water. D_v with a sott
cloth.
Keep the outside clean. Wipe with a clean
cloth lightly dampened with mild liquid dish
detergent. Dry with a clean, sott cloth.
Do not wipe the refl'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 cleane_
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 refl'igerator and fl'eezer
colnl)a i'tlnents.
Unplug the refrigerator before clemfing.
If this is not practical, wring excess moisture
Otlt of sponge or cloth when cleaning arotlnd
switches, lights or controls.
Use warm water and baking soda solution--
about a tablesi)oon (l 5 ml) of baking soda
to a quart (l liter) of water. This both cleans
and neutralizes odors. Thoroughly rinse
and wipe dry.
The stainless steel panels and door hm_dles
(on some models) can be cleaned with a
commerciallv available stainless steel cleaner
such as Stainless Steel Mag'id _'
Stainless Steel Mag'ic is awlilable at Ace, Trtle
Value, Servista_; HWI and other leading stores.
It is also available through GE Parts and
Accessories, 800.626.2002. Order part number

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: Alier cleaning the door
gaskets, apply a thin laver of petroleum ,jelly to
the door gaskets at the hinge side. This helps
kee I) the gaskets flxma sticking and bending
()tit of shape.
Avoid cleaning cold glass shelves with hot water
because the extreme temperature difference
may cause them to break. Hmadle glass shelves
carefully. Bmnping tempered glass can cause it
to shatter.
