IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
HOW 7"0 CONNECT EI ?,CTRICITY
Do not, under rely circumstmlces, 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 t() minimize the possibility of electric
shock hazard ti'om this appliance.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sm'e the outlet is properly grotmded.
Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is wmr personal responsibility
and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grotmded 3-prong wall outlet.
Use of a GFI (Grotmd Fault lnterHq_tor) is not recommended ti)r the reii'igerator outlet.
The appliance should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has
a w)ltage rating that matches the rating plate. This provides the best peril)finance 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 _2XTENSION CORD
WITH THIS APPLIANCE.
Never mq)lug an appliance by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the 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 rise a cord that shows CI'ilcks OI" _lbI'_lsion

How it Works
The Climate Control feature is a system of dmnI)e_, a tim, a temI)eramre thermistor;
a heater and a specially designed tray. The Climate Control drawer can be used
to chill items quickl 5 thaw t0ods quickly or store items at their opfim um teml)eratures.
The drawer is tightly sealed to prevent the drawer's temperature ti'om causing temperature fluctuations in the rest of the reiiJgerato_:
SELECT TEMP_Use this teature to store items at their optimum temperatures.
The CITRUS setting will maintain a drawer temperature of 39-47°F by cycling a small
heater off and on as needed. The PRODUCE setting will maintain the drawer temperature
at 31-38°F by drawing in additional cold air as needed. The MEAT setting will maintain the drawer temperature at 27-37°F by drawing in
additional cold air as needed.
ILXPRESS CHILL---This fl_ature can be used to cool items in minutes, rather than hours. Extra cool air is circulated throughout the
drawer. Once the cycle is complete, the drawer will revert to the pre-set fl'esh fl)od teml)erature.
ILXPRESS THAW This fl_ature thaws items in hotu_ rather than da):s. Food is gently
thawed in a cool environment by circulating air throughout the drawer. Temperature is
maintained in the drawer by cycling a small heater off and on as needed. Once the thaw
cycle is complete, the pan will automatically a_!just to a temperature of 97-37°F to store the
tood at its optimum temperature.
Climate Control Tray--Besides using the specially designed Climate Control tray
when using the drawe_; it can also be used as a chilled serving tray to kee I) foods cold.
NOTE: By turning the controls on the Climate Control drawer ott, the drawer can be used as a
standard sealed produce pan.
How to Use
Empty the drawer. Place the trav in the drawer. Place the items on the tray and
close the drawer completely.
Select the Express Thaw, TM Express Chill TM or

Press the pad until the light appears next to the desired setting. Use the chart on the next page to determine the best setting.
To stop a ligature betore it is finished, press that teature's pad until no options are selected and the display is off.
During Express Thaw TM and Express ChilU M the display on the controls will count down the trine remaining in the cycle.
After the Express Thaw TM cycle is complete, the drawer will reset to the MI_T setting (27-37°F) to hel I) preserve
thawed items until they are used.

The displayed actual temperature of the Clfinate Control drawer may w_ry slightly from the SET temperature based on usage and operation environinent.
NOTE: For food safety reasons, it is recommended that foods be wrapped in plastic wrap when using Express Thaw. TM This will hel I) contain meat juices and improve thawing perfln'mance.

Cleaning
outside
The dispenser spill shelf mid the m'ea beneath it
should be cleaned periodically with a mild liquid dish detergent.
Dispenser cradle--Befl)re cleaning, lock the dispenser by touching CONTROL LOCK fin.
3 seconds to prevent activating the dispenser. Clean with waHn water and a mild liquid
dish detergent. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry. Unlock the dispenser by touching
CONTROL LOCK tot 3 seconds. Do not use chemical cleaners to clean the
dispenser or any part of the dispenser. Door hm_dles and trim--Clean with a cloth
dampened with soapy water. Dry with a sott 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 refl'igerator with a soiled
dish cloth or wet towel. These mav leave
a residue that can damage the finish. Do not
use scom'ing pads, powdered cleaners, bleach
or cleaners containing bleach because these
products can scratch and damage the finish.
Stainless steel_Regularly clean and polish
the Stainless Steel Door Panels and Handles
(on some models) with a commercially
available stainless steel cleaner such as Stainle,ss
Sled ,\lag'it r_ to preserve and protect the fine
finish. Stainless Steal Mag'i_ and the Monogram
polishing cloth are awfilable through GE Parts
and Accessories, 800.(526.2002, or ge.com.
For Stainh, ss Steel Mag'i_, order part number
WX 10X15. For Monogram polishing cloth,
order part n umber WX72X 10001.
Do not use appliance wax or polish on the
stainless steel.
Cleaning
inside
Turn off power at the circuit breaker or fuse box before clemfing. If this is not practical, wring excess inoisture out of sponge or cloth when cleaning around switches, lights or controls.
Use walm water and baking soda solution-- about a tablespoon (l 5 ml) of baking soda to a quart (1 liter) of water. This both cleans and neutralizes odors. Thoroughly rinse and wipe dry.
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.
Do not wash m_y plastic refrigerator parts
in the dishwasher.
Do not wash the aluminum Climate Control
tray in the dishwasher. The aluminum will
discolor in the dishwasher.
Avoid clemfing cold glass shelves with hot water
because the extreme temperature difference
may cause them to break. Hmldle glass shelves
carefully, Rough handling of tempered glass
can cause it to shatter.
