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 refrigerator must be properly installed
and located 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 stick 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 the 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.
Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and
making repairs.
NOTE: We strongly recommend that any servicing be
performed by a qualified individual.
Setting either or both controls to
0 (off)
does not
remove power to the light circuit.
Do not refreeze frozen foods which have
thawed completely.

PROPER DISPOSAL OF THE REFRIGERATOR
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems
of the past. 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:
Take off the doors.
Leave the shelves in place so that children may
not easily climb inside.
CFC Disposal
Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system
that used CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons). CFCs are
believed to harm stratospheric ozone.
If you are throwing away your old refrigerator, make
sure the CFC refrigerant is removed for proper
disposal by a qualified servicer. If you intentionally
release this CFC refrigerant, you can be subject to
fines and imprisonment under provisions of
environmental legislation.
USE OF EXTENSION CORDS
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against the use
of an extension cord.
However, if you must use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL-listed (in the United
States) or a CSA-listed (in Canada), 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding
type plug and outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 120 volts.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING!
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 the outlet is a standard 2-prong outlet, it is
your personal responsibility and obligation to
have it replaced with a properly grounded
3-prong wall 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.
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.
USE OF ADAPTER PLUGS
(Adapter plugs not permitted in Canada)
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against
the use of an adapter plug.
However, if you must use an adapter, where local
codes permit, a
temporary connection
may be made
to a properly grounded 2-prong wall outlet by use
of a UL-listed adapter available at most local
hardware stores.
The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned with
the larger slot in the wall outlet to provide proper
polarity in the connection of the power cord.
When disconnecting the power cord from the
adapter, always hold the adapter in place with one
hand while pulling the power cord plug with the
other hand. If this is not done, the adapter ground
terminal is very likely to break with repeated use.
If the adapter ground terminal breaks,
DO NOT
USE
the refrigerator until a proper ground has
been established.
Attaching the adapter ground terminal to a wall outlet
cover screw does not ground the appliance unless the
cover screw is metal, and not insulated, and the wall
outlet is grounded through the house wiring. You should
have the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to
make sure the outlet is properly grounded.
READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

The temperature controls are preset in the factory at 5 for both
the refrigerator and freezer compartments. Allow 24 hours for the
temperature to stabilize to the preset recommended settings.
Several adjustments may be required. Each time you adjust
controls, allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to reach the setting
you have selected.
Setting either or both controls to 0 stops cooling in both the freezer
and refrigerator compartments, but does not shut off electrical power
to the refrigerator.
Control settings will vary based on personal preferences, usage and
operating conditions and may require more than one adjustment.
NOTE: The refrigerator is shipped with protective film covering the
temperature controls. If this film was not removed during installation,
remove it now.
The Performance Air Flow System is designed to maximize temperature control in the refrigerator and
freezer compartments. This unique special feature consists of the Air Tower along the back wall of the
refrigerator and the Air Tunnel on the bottom portion of the freezer rear wall. Placing food in front of the
louvers on these components will not affect performance. Although the Air Tower and the Air Tunnel can
be removed, doing so will affect temperature performance. (For removal instructions, on-line, 24 hours a
day, contact us at GEAppliances.com or call 800.GE.CARES. In Canada, contact us at geappliances.ca or
call 1.800.361.3400.)

About TurboCool.
How it Works
TurboCool
rapidly cools the refrigerator
compartment in order to more quickly
cool foods. Use
TurboCool
when adding a
large amount of food to the refrigerator
compartment, putting away foods after they
have been sitting out at room temperature
or when putting away warm leftovers. It can
also be used if the refrigerator has been
without power for an extended period.
Once activated, the compressor will turn on
immediately and the fans will cycle on and
off at high speed as needed for eight hours.
The compressor will continue to run until
the refrigerator compartment cools to
approximately 34°F (1°C), then it will cycle
on and off to maintain this setting. After 8
hours, or if
TurboCool
is pressed again, the
refrigerator compartment will return to
the original setting.
How to Use
Press
TurboCool
. The refrigerator
temperature display will show
9
(the coldest
setting).
After
TurboCool
is complete, the
refrigerator compartment will return
to the original setting.
NOTES:
The refrigerator temperature
cannot be changed during
TurboCool
.
The freezer temperature is not
affected during
TurboCool
.
When opening the refrigerator
door during
TurboCool
, the fans
will continue to run if they have

Automatic Icemaker
The icemaker will produce seven cubes
per cycle–approximately 100–130 cubes
in a 24-hour period, depending on freezer
compartment temperature, room
temperature, number of door openings
and other use conditions.
If the refrigerator is operated before the
water connection is made to the icemaker,
set the power switch in the
O (off)
position.
When the refrigerator has been connected
to the water supply, set the power switch to
the
l (on)
position.
The icemaker will fill with water when it
cools to 15°F (–10°C). A newly-installed
refrigerator may take 12 to 24 hours to
begin making ice cubes.
Throw away the first few batches of ice
to allow the water line to clear.
Be sure nothing interferes with the sweep
of the feeler arm.
When the bin fills to the level of the feeler
arm, the icemaker will stop producing ice.
It is normal for several cubes to be joined
together.
If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes
will become cloudy, taste stale and shrink.
NOTE: In homes with lower-than-average water
pressure, you may hear the icemaker cycle multiple
times when making one batch of ice.

Select
CUBED ICE , CRUSHED ICE
or
WATER .
Press the glass gently against the top of the
dispenser cradle.
The spill shelf is not self-draining. To
reduce water spotting, the shelf and its
grille should be cleaned regularly.
If no water is dispensed when the refrigerator is
first installed, there may be air in the water line
system. Press the dispenser arm for at least two
minutes to remove trapped air from the water
line and to fill the water system. To flush out
impurities in the water line, throw away the first
six glassfuls of water.
CAUTION: Never put fingers or any other
objects into the ice crusher discharge opening.
Locking the Dispenser

Important Facts About Your Dispenser
Do not add ice from trays or bags to
the storage drawer. It may not crush or
dispense well.
Avoid overfilling glass with ice and use
of narrow glasses. Backed-up ice can jam
the chute or cause the door in the chute
to freeze shut. If ice is blocking the
chute, poke it through with a wooden
spoon.
Beverages and foods should not be
quick-chilled in the ice storage drawer.
Cans, bottles or food packages in the
storage drawer may cause the icemaker
or auger to jam.
To keep dispensed ice from missing
the glass, put the glass close to, but not
touching, the dispenser opening.
Some crushed ice may be dispensed even
though you selected
CUBED ICE.
This
happens occasionally when a few cubes
accidentally get directed to the crusher.
After crushed ice is dispensed, some
water may drip from the chute.
Sometimes a small mound of snow will
form on the door in the ice chute. This
condition is normal and usually occurs
when you have dispensed crushed ice
repeatedly. The snow will eventually
evaporate.

Care and cleaning of the refrigerator.
Cleaning the Outside
The dispenser drip area,
(on some models)
beneath the grille, should be wiped dry. Water
left in this area may leave deposits. Remove
the deposits by adding undiluted vinegar to
the well. Soak until the deposits disappear
or become loose enough to rinse away.
The dispenser cradle
(on some models).
Before cleaning, lock the dispenser by
pressing and holding the
LOCK CONTROL
pad for 3 seconds. Clean with warm
water and baking soda solution–about
a tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda to
a quart (1 liter) of water. Rinse thoroughly
and wipe dry.
The door handles and trim.
Clean with
a cloth dampened with soapy water.
Dry with a soft cloth.
The stainless steel panels and door handles
(on some models) can be cleaned with a
commercially available stainless steel
cleaner such as Stainless Steel Magic.
Stainless Steel Magic is available at Ace, True
Value, Servistar, HWI and other leading
stores. It is also available through GE Parts
and Accessories, 800.626.2002. Order part
number WX10X15.
Do not use appliance wax or polish on the
stainless steel.
Keep the outside clean.
Wipe with a clean
cloth lightly dampened with kitchen
appliance wax or mild liquid dish detergent.
Dry and polish with 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. Do not use scouring
pads, powdered cleaners, bleach or cleaners
containing bleach because these products can
scratch and weaken the paint finish.
Cleaning the Inside
To help prevent odors,
leave an open box of
baking soda in the fresh food and freezer
compartments.
Unplug the refrigerator 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 (1 liter) of water. This both cleans
and neutralizes odors. Rinse and wipe dry.
Use of any cleaning solution other than that
which is recommended, especially those that
contain petroleum distillates, can crack or
damage the interior of the refrigerator.
Avoid cleaning cold glass shelves with hot water
because the extreme temperature difference
may cause them to break. Handle glass shelves
carefully. Bumping tempered glass can cause
it to shatter.
Do not wash any plastic refrigerator parts in
the dishwasher.
Ice Storage Drawer

(19 mm) or Raised Panel
A raised panel design screwed or glued to a 1/4(6 mm) thick backing, or a 3/4(19 mm) routed board
can be used. The raised portion of the panel must be fabricated to permit clearances of at least 2(5.1 cm)
from the handle side for fingertip clearance.
Panels thicker than 1/4(6 mm), up to 3/4 (19 mm) maximum, will require that the outer 5/16
(8 mm) of panel perimeter be no thicker than 1/4(6 mm).
Weight limitations for custom panels:
Fresh Food 38 lbs. (17 kg) max.
Freezer Door 28 lbs. (13 kg) max.
1/4 (6 mm) Max.
Panels 1/4 (6 mm) thick or less
Some models are equipped with trim kits that allow you to install door panels. You can order
pre-cut black, white, bisque or stainless steel decorator panels from GE Parts and Accessories,
800.626.2002, or you can add wood panels to match your kitchen cabinets.
Panels less than 1/4
(6 mm) thick
When installing wood panels less than 1/4(6 mm) thick, you need to create a filler panel, such as 1/8
(3 mm) cardboard, that will fit between the face of the door and the wood panel. If you are installing the
pre-cut decorator panels, pre-cut filler panels are included in the kit. The combined thickness of the
decorator or wood panel and the filler panel should be 1/4(6 mm).

The Top Trim can be found inside the refrigerator
compartment.
With a T-20 Torxdriver, attach the Top Trim, using
