PROPER DISPOSAL OF THE BEVERAGE CENTER OR WINE CHILLER

Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past . Junked or abandoned refrigeration products are still dangerous… even if they will sit for “just a few days.” If you are getting rid of your old appliance, please follow the instructions below to help prevent accidents.

Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigeration Product:

■ Take off the door.

■ Leave the shelves and drawers in place so that

children may not easily climb inside.

Refrigerants

All refrigeration products contain refrigerants, which under federal law must be removed prior to product disposal. If you are getting rid of an old refrigeration product, check with the company handling the disposal about what to do.

DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD WITH THIS APPLIANCE.

DANGER! RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING!

Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner’s Manual.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:

■ This appliance must be properly installed and

located in accordance with these instructions before it is used.

■ Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang

on the shelves or full-extension drawers in the appliance. They could damage the appliance and seriously injure themselves.

■ Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable

vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

■ Before replacing a burned-out light bulb,

the appliance should be unplugged in order to avoid contact with a live wire filament. (A burned out light bulb may break when being replaced.)

■ 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 the appliance before cleaning and

making repairs.

NOTE: We strongly recommend that any servicing be performed by a qualified individual.

■ Do not store or install this appliance outdoors.

HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY

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.

If you have only a standard 2-prong wall outlet, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.

NOTE: GFI (ground fault interrupter) is not recommended.

The appliance 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.

Never unplug your appliance 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 appliance away from the wall, be careful not to roll over or damage the power cord.

READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

Instructions

IMPORTANT: Unplug the beverage center or wine chiller before cleaning.

Keep the outside clean. The cabinet can

be washed with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly with clean water. Never use abrasive scouring powders.

Use a glass cleaner or mild soap and water and a soft cloth to clean the glass door. Do not use any abrasive powders.

Wipe the controls with a damp cloth. Dry thoroughly. Do not use cleaning sprays, large amounts of soap and water, abrasives or sharp objects on the panel—they can damage it. Some paper towels can also scratch the control panel.

Do not wipe the beverage center or wine chiller with a soiled dishcloth or towel.

These may leave 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.

Stainless steel. Regularly clean and polish the stainless steel areas (on some models) with a commercially available stainless steel cleaner such as Stainless Steel Magic

to preserve and protect the fine finish.

Stainless Steel Magic®is available through

GE Parts and Accessories, 800.626.2002, or ge.com. Order part number WX10X15.

Do not use appliance wax or polish on the stainless steel.

Cleaning the Outside

IMPORTANT: Unplug the beverage center or wine chiller before cleaning.

The vinyl door gasket may be cleaned with mild soap and water or a baking soda solution. Rinse well.

After cleaning the door gasket, apply a thin layer of paraffin wax or petroleum jelly to the door gasket at the hinge side. This helps keep the gasket from sticking and bending out of shape.

Use a slightly damp cloth or sponge 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 (1 liter) of water. This both cleans

and neutralizes odors. Thoroughly rinse and wipe dry.

Other parts of the beverage center or wine chiller unit—including the full extension

drawers and glass shelves—can be cleaned the same way.

Avoid cleaning cold glass 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 use detergents, scouring powders, spray cleaners or other harsh chemicals to clean the interior.

Cleaning the Inside

Drain hole

Periodically check the drain hole and channel for any debris. If the drain is blocked, condensation will not drain properly.

To check and clean the drain hole, remove the bottom two glass shelves or bottom two full extension drawers. Sweep a damp cloth along the channel in the back of the beverage center. Use a finger to sweep away any debris from the drain hole.

You may hear the fans spinning at high speeds. This happens when the appliance is first plugged in, when the doors are opened frequently or when large amounts of beverages are added to the appliance. The fans help maintain desired temperatures.

■

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

■

The fans change speeds in order to provide optimal cooling and energy savings.

CLICKS, POPS,

CRACKS and CHIRPS

■

You may hear cracking or popping sounds when the appliance is first plugged in. This happens as the appliance cools to the correct temperature.

■

Expansion and contraction of cooling coils during and after defrost can cause a cracking or popping sound.

WATER SOUNDS

■

The flow of refrigerant through the appliance cooling coils may make a gurgling noise like boiling water.

■

A water dripping noise may occur as water from the evaporator flows into the drain pan.

■
