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.
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.
In refrigerators with automatic icemakers, avoid
contact with the moving parts of the ejector
mechanism, or with the heating element that
releases the cubes. Do not place fingers or hands
on the automatic icemaking mechanism while the
refrigerator is plugged in.
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.
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.
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 certified (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.
DANGER! RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT

GEAppliances.com
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.
Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, 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.
READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

About the controls with temperature settings.
The temperature controls are preset in the factory at 37°F for the refrigerator compartment and 0°F for
the freezer compartment. Allow 24 hours for the temperature to stabilize to the preset recommended
settings.
The temperature controls can display both the SET temperature as well as the actual temperature in the
refrigerator and freezer. The actual temperature may vary slightly from the SET temperature based on
usage and operating environment.
Setting either or both controls to OFF stops cooling in both the freezer and refrigerator compartments,
but does not shut off electrical power to the refrigerator.
NOTE: The refrigerator is shipped with protective film covering the temperature controls.
If this film was not removed during installation, remove it now.

About TurboCool.
(on some models)
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 .
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 cycled
on.
About Door Alarm (on some models)
The door alarm will sound if any door is open
for more than 2 minutes. The beeping stops
when you close the door.

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 Controls 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.
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.

Trim kits and decorator panels.
Read these instructions completely and carefully.
Before You Begin
Some models are equipped with trim kits that allow you to install door panels. You can order pre-cut
black or white decorator panels from GE Parts and Accessories, 800.626.2002, or you can add wood
panels to match your kitchen cabinets.
Panels less than 1/4ļ (6 mm) thick
When installing wood panels less than 1/4ļ (6 mm) thick, you need to create a filler panel, such as 1/8ļ 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 11/32ļ (8.7 mm) with the panel itself being no larger than 1/4ļ (6 mm).
For panel-required models
Panels 1/4” thick or less
1/4” max
The handle and the top and bottom trim stand in front of the surface of the door, which requires that the filler be
smaller in length and width than the panel. Use the guidelines below and tape the filler onto the back of the panel.

Dimensions for Custom Wood Panels
3/4ļ (19 mm) or Raised Panel
A raised panel design screwed or glued to a 1/4ļ (6 mm) thick backing, or a 3/4ļ (19 mm) routed board can be used. The raised
portion of the panel must be fabricated to permit clearances of at least 2ļ (5.1 cm) from the handle side for fingertip clearance.
Panels thicker than 1/4ļ (6 mm), up to 3/4ļ (19 mm) max., will require that the outer 5/16ļ (8 mm) of panel perimeter be no thicker
than 1/4ļ (6 mm).
Weight limitations for custom panels:

template with its RH floor holes lined up with
the floor holes indicated on the template sheet,
approximately 7
1
ø4ļ from the edge of the sheet
or the RH side of the refrigerator.
Hold down in position and use the anti-tip floor
bracket as a template for marking the holes
based upon your configuration and type of
construction as shown in Step 3. Mark the hole
locations with a pencil, nail or awl.
NOTE:
It is REQUIRED to use at least 2 screws to
mount the floor bracket (one on each side of
the anti-tip floor bracket). Both must be into
either the wall or the floor. Figure 2 indicates
all the acceptable mounting configurations
for screws. Identify the screw holes on the
anti-tip floor bracket for your configuration.

POSITIONING THE REFRIGERATOR
TO ENGAGE THE ANTI-TIP FLOOR
AND BASE BRACKETS
Before pushing the refrigerator into the
opening, plug the power cord into the
receptacle and connect waterline (if equipped).
Check for leaks.
Locate the refrigerator’s RH side and move
back approximately in line with the RH side of
the cabinet opening, W. This should position
the anti-tip floor bracket to engage the anti-tip
base bracket on the refrigerator.
Gently roll the refrigerator back into the cabinet
opening until it comes to a complete stop.
Check to see if the refrigerator front lines up
with the cabinet front face. If not, carefully rock
the refrigerator forward and backward until
engagement occurs and you notice that the
refrigerator is fully pushed up against the rear
wall.
OPTIONAL: Adjust the rear (and front) wheel
height settings to fully engage the rear anti-tip
brackets, while also aligning the refrigerator
front with the cabinet front face.
