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 onthe shelves
in the refrigerator.They could damage the refrigerator and
seriouslyinjure themselves.
Do not touch the cold surfaces in the freezer compartment
when handsare damp or wet. Skinmay stickto these
extremely cold surfaces.
Do not storeor usegasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquidsin the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
, In refrigerators with automatic icemakers,avoid contact
with the moving parts of the ejector mechanism, orwith
the heating element located on the bottom of the icemaker.
Do not placefingers or hands on the automatic icemaking
mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged in.
, Keepfingers out of the "pinch point" areas; clearances
between the doors and between the doors and cabinet are
necessarilysmall. Becareful closing doors when children are
inthe area.
, Unplugthe refrigerator before cleaning and making repairs.
NOTE'.We strongly recommend that any servicing be
performed by a qualified individual.
, Donot refreezefrozen foods which havethawed completely.

panel does not shut off electrical power to the refrigerator.

ADANGER! RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT
GEAppliances.com
PROPERDISPOSAL OFTHE REFRIGERATOR
Childentrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past.
Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still dangerous...evenif
they will sit for "just a few days." Ifyou are getting rid of your old
refrigerator, pleasefollow the instructions below to help prevent
accidents.
Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigerator or
Freezer:
Takeoff the doors.
Leavethe shelvesin place sothat 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, ifyou must usean extensioncord, it isabsolutely necessarythat it be a UL-listed(inthe United States)or a CSA-listed(in
Canada),3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding type plug and outlet andthat the electrical rating of
the cord be 15 amperes (minimum)and 120volts.
AWARNING!
HOW TO CONNECTELECTRICITY
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 isequipped with a 3-prong
(grounding) plug which mates with a standard 3-prong
(grounding) wall outlet to minimizethe possibility of electric
shock hazard from this appliance.
Havethe wall outlet and circuit checked bya qualified
electrician to make surethe outlet isproperly grounded.
Ifthe outlet isa standard 2-prong outlet, it isyour 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.
Thisprovides the best performance and also prevents
overloading housewiring circuits which could cause a fire
hazard from overheated wires,
Neverunplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power cord.
Always grip plug firmly and pullstraight out from the outlet.
Repairor replace immediately all power cords that have
become frayed or otherwise damaged. Donot 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.

About ClimateKeeper2. TM (on some models) GEApplionces.com
!How it Works
TheClimateKeeper2TM isthe industry's most
advanced refrigeration system,delivering
optimum temperature and humidity
performance to keepfood garden fresh longer
and reducefreezer burn.
TheClimateKeeperZ" systemfeatures two
evaporators-one for the refrigerator and one
for the freezer.
This provides two separate cooling systems,
and separatesthe airflow between the fresh
food and freezer compartments during normal
coolingoperations.*
This ensuresthat the humidity levelsin the
fresh food compartment are significantly higher
than in a conventional system,** allowing fresh
produce and other unsealedfoods to retain
their moisture content and freshness longer.
Moisture sensitivefoods such asfresh fruit,
salads,rice,etc.,can now be stored on open
shelveswithout excessivemoisture loss.
Dueto the higher humidity in the refrigerator,
you may on occasion experience fog or
small amounts of moisture in the refrigerator
compartment. Thisis normal and may
come and go as different food loads and
environmental conditions change.Wipe dry
with a paper towel if desired.
Theseparate airflow system minimizes the
mixing of air between the two compartments,
which reduces fresh food odor transfer to
improve the taste of ice.
TheClimateKeeper2'" system also reduces
the number of defrosting cycles in the freezer
evaporator, thereby reducing freezer burn.
*Freezerair isusedin the CustomCoor" feature.
**Testingshows a higher levelof humidity in
the FreshFoodsection in ClimateKeeperZ"
refrigerators versusconventional units.
