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, particularly 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
that releases the cubes. 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.
■
■Turning the control to the
OFF
position 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 has 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 the
Federal Clean Air Act.
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.
DANGER! RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT

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.
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.

About the control on the refrigerator.
Control Settings
The temperature control maintains the temperature in both the fresh food and freezer compartments.
Setting
1
is the warmest setting and
9
is the coldest. Moving the control to
OFF
stops cooling in both
areas—fresh food and freezer—but does not shut off power to the refrigerator.
After changing the control, allow 12 hours for the refrigerator to reach the temperature you have set. Control setting will
vary based on personal preferences, usage and operating conditions and may require more than one adjustment.
Control settings will vary based on personal preferences, usage and operating conditions, and may require
more than one adjustment.
The temperature control on your refrigerator regulates the
temperature in the fresh food and freezer compartments.
Initially set the control at 5.
If you want colder or warmer temperatures, move the dial
one number at a time. Adjust the control one increment at
a time, and allow 12 hours after each adjustment for the
refrigerator to reach the temperature you set.

About the storage drawers.
Fruit and Vegetable Drawers
One or more storage drawers provide space to store
fruits, vegetables and meats.
Models with a single full-width drawer have a divider
to separate meats and vegetables. The divider can be
removed if a single large storage space is needed.
The drawer will stop before coming all the way out
of the refrigerator to help prevent contents from
spilling onto the floor. It can be removed easily
by lifting up slightly and pulling past the “stop”
position.
To replace the drawer and the cover above it, the
door must be fully opened. In some installations the
refrigerator may have to be moved away from the
wall for the door to be fully opened.

About ice service.
www.GEAppliances.com
Care and cleaning of the refrigerator.
Icemaker Accessory Kit
An icemaker accessory kit is available from your dealer. Check the back of the
refrigerator for the specific icemaker kit needed for your model.
Water Supply Kits
Kits containing copper tubing, shutoff valve, fittings and instructions needed to
connect the icemaker to your cold water line are available at extra cost from your
dealer or from Parts and Accessories. In the U.S. call 800-626-2002. In Canada call
1-800-361-3400 and refer to kit numbers WX8X1 through WX8X4.
Ice Trays
To release ice cubes, turn the tray upside
down, hold it over a container, and twist
both ends.
For only one or two ice cubes, leave the
tray right-side up, twist both ends slightly,
and remove as many cubes as you want.
Wash ice trays in lukewarm water only—do not
put them in an automatic dishwasher.
Cleaning the Outside
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 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.
Protect the paint finish.
The finish on the
outside of the refrigerator is a high quality,
baked-on paint finish. With proper care, it
will stay new-looking and rust free for years.
Apply a coat of kitchen/appliance wax
when the refrigerator is new, and then at
least twice a year.
Care and cleaning of the refrigerator.
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 l) of water. This both cleans
and neutralizes odors. Rinse and wipe dry.
Other parts of the refrigerator—including
door gaskets, fruit and vegetable drawers,
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. Do not use cleansing powders or
other abrasive cleaners.
Defrost water pan.
The non-removable pan is
located under the compressor at the rear of
the refrigerator. It should be cleaned at
least once a year. Move the refrigerator out
from the wall as far as necessary, and unplug
the power cord from the wall outlet. Let the
compressor cool before cleaning the pan.
Use a clean cloth or sponge dampened in
warm water and baking soda solution—one
tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda to a
quart (1 l) of water.
Do not use
cleansing
powders, abrasive cleaners, bleach or
cleaners containing chlorides.
Do not wash any plastic refrigerator parts in
the dishwasher.
Behind the Refrigerator
Once a year, move the refrigerator out
and vacuum the back coils. Be careful
when moving the refrigerator away from
the wall. All types of floor coverings can be
damaged, particularly cushioned coverings
and those with embossed surfaces.
Pull the refrigerator straight out and
return it to position by pushing it straight
in. Moving the refrigerator in a side
direction may result in damage to the
floor covering or refrigerator.
When pushing the refrigerator back, make sure
you don’t roll over the power cord.
Replacing the Lightbulb
Unscrew the burned-out bulb and replace it
with a standard 40-watt appliance bulb.
Preparing for Vacation
For long vacations or absences, remove
food and unplug the refrigerator. Move
the control to the
OFF
position, and
clean the interior with a baking soda
solution of one tablespoon (15 ml) of
baking soda to one quart (1 l) of water.
Leave the doors open.
Preparing to Move
Secure all loose items such as grille, shelves and drawers by taping them securely
in place to prevent damage.
Be sure the refrigerator stays in an upright position during moving.
