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 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.
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

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.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
USE OF ADAPTER PLUGS
Adapter plugs are not permitted in Canada.

About the controls with temperature settings.
Initially, set the refrigerator control at 5 and the freezer control at 5. Allow 24 hours for
the temperature to stabilize. Several adjustments may be required. Adjust the controls
one increment at a time, and allow 24 hours after each adjustment for the refrigerator
to reach the temperature you have set.
Setting either or both controls to 0 for digital and 0 for the refrigerator control knob
stops cooling in both the refrigerator and freezer compartments, but does not shut
off electrical power to the refrigerator.
NOTE: The refrigerator is shipped with protective film covering the digital temperature
controls. If this film was not removed during installation, remove it now.

About the automatic icemaker. (on some models)
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.
See below for how to access ice and reach the
power switch.
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 power light will turn green
when the freezer light switch is pressed in or when
the freezer door is closed.
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.
You will hear a buzzing sound each time
the icemaker fills with water.
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.
NOTE: Set the power switch to the O (off) position
if the water supply is shut off.
A newly installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24 hours to begin making ice.

Care and cleaning of the refrigerator. GEAppliances.com
Cleaning the Outside
The door handles and trim. Clean with a
cloth dampened with soapy water. Dry with
a soft cloth. Do not use wax on the door
handles and trim.
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.
The stainless steel panels and door
handles. Stainless steel (on some models)
can be cleaned with a commercially
available stainless steel cleaner. A spray-on
stainless steel cleaner works best.
Do not use appliance wax or polish on the
stainless steel.
Cleaning the Inside
To help prevent odors, leave an open box
of baking soda in the refrigerator 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 an appliance wax polish on the inside
surface between the doors.
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.
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.
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.

quart (1 liter) of water. Leave the doors open.
Set the icemaker power switch to the O (off)
position and shut off the water supply to
the refrigerator.
If the temperature can drop below freezing,
have a qualified servicer drain the water
supply system (on some models) to prevent
serious property damage due to flooding.
Care and cleaning of the refrigerator.
Preparing for Vacation
Preparing to Move
Secure all loose items such as base grille,
shelves and drawers by taping them securely
in place to prevent damage.
When using a hand truck to move the
refrigerator, do not rest the front or back
of the refrigerator against the hand truck.
This could damage the refrigerator. Handle
only from the sides of the refrigerator.
Be sure the refrigerator stays in an upright
position during moving.
Behind the Refrigerator
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.
Raise the leveling legs located at the bottom
front of the refrigerator.
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.
Lower the leveling legs until they touch the
floor.
When pushing the refrigerator back, make
sure you don’t roll over the power cord or
icemaker supply line (on some models).

INSTALLING THE REFRIGERATOR (cont.)
LEVEL THE REFRIGERATOR
The leveling legs have 2 purposes:
1) Leveling legs adjust so the refrigerator is
firmly positioned on the floor and does not
wobble.
2) Leveling legs serve as a stabilizing brake
to hold the refrigerator securely in position
during operation and cleaning. The leveling
legs also prevent the refrigerator from
tipping.
Remove the grille by removing the two Phillips
head screws.
Turn the leveling legs clockwise to raise
the refrigerator, counterclockwise to lower it.
CAUTION: To avoid possible
personal injury or property damage,
the leveling legs must be firmly touching
the floor.
Replace the base grille by inserting the two
Phillips head screws.
