IMPORTANT SAFETYINSTRUCTIONS

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING:when using

this appliance, always exercise basic safety

precautions, including the following:

. Usethis appliance only for its intended

purpose as described in this Owner's Manual.

. This refrigerator must be properly

installed in accordancewith 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 vicinity
of this or any other appliance.

In refrigerators with automatic icemakers,
avoid contact with moving parts of the ejector
mechanism, orwith 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.

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
to turn off the lights in order to avoid contact
with a live wire filament. (Aburned-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 completely.

ADANGER: RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPHENT

Child entrapment and suffocation are not
problems of the pest. Junked or abandoned
refrigerators are still dangerous...even if they
will sit for "just a 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.
. Leavethe shelves in place so that children

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 isyour 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 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. Drywith 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. 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 (! 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 Steel Magic, 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.

POSSIBLE CAUSEPROBLEM

REFRIGERATOR DOES
NOT OPERATE

May be in defrost cycle when compressor does not operate for about 30
minutes.

Temperature control in the OFFposition.

If interior light is not on, refrigerator may not be plugged in at wall outlet.

The fuse is blown/circuit breaker is tripped. Replace fuse or reset the breaker.

MOTOR OPERATES FOR
LONG PERIODS OR
CYCLES ON AND OFF

FREQUENTLY

{Modern refrigerators
with more storage
space and a larger
freezer require more
operating time. They
start and stop often

to maintain even
temperatures.)

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 and/or increased food

loads.

You may hear the fans spinning at high speeds. This happens when the

refrigerator is first plugged in, when the doors are opened frequently or when
a large amount of food isadded to the refrigerator or freezer compartments.
The fans are helping to maintain the correct temperatures.

Door left open or package holding door open.

If either door is open for over 3 minutes, you may hear the fans come on in
order to cool the light.

Hot weather or frequent door openings. This is normal.
Temperature controls set at the coldest setting. SeeTemperature Controls.

THUMPING SOUND

WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED

This isa normal operating sound.
The mechanism that closes the door makes a slight thumping sound as it

passes over its lever point, at approximately 80 degrees.
Closing the door slowly will minimize the sound.

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.

The fans 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.

- 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.

VIBRATION OR Refrigerator may not be properly installed.
RATTLING {Slight
vibration is normal.)

INTERIOR LIGHT DOES No power at outlet.
