Owner’s Manual and
Installation Instructions

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 ice makers, 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 ice making 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 COLD position does not remove
power to the light circuit.
Do not refreeze frozen foods which have thawed completely.
Before replacing a burned-out light bulb, the refrigerator
should be unplugged in order to avoid contact with a live
wire filament. (A burned-out light bulb may break when being
replaced.)
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, 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.
PROPER DISPOSAL OF THE REFRIGERATOR
DANGER! RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT
2
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 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.

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

About the control on the refrigerator.
Control Settings
The fresh food control and the freezer control should be
adjusted one increment at a time. Allow 12 hours after each
adjustment for the compartment to reach the temperature you
have set.
After each adjustment, check both the freezer and the fresh
food compartments. Changing the fresh food control will affect
the temperature of the freezer compartment. Likewise, changing
the freezer control can affect the temperature of the fresh food
compartment.
Control settings will vary based on personal preferences, usage
and operating conditions and may require more than one
adjustment. Factors that affect temperature include the amount
of food in the fresh food and freezer compartments, frequency
of door opening, and temperature of food when placed in either
compartment.
There is a temperature control in the fresh food compartment as well as the freezer
compartment. Initially set the control to the recommended normal settings in the fresh food
and freezer compartments. Allow 24 hours for the temperature to stabilize.

Fruit and Vegetable Drawers
These storage drawers provide space to store
fruits, vegetables and meats.
To remove and replace the drawers and the
cover above them, 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.

Ice maker Accessory Kit
An ice maker accessory kit is available from
your dealer. The IM-4A or IM-6 accessory
kit will work with your refrigerator. To
order, go to GEApplianceparts.com or call
800.626.2002.
NOTE: The step shelf in the freezer MUST be
placed in the lowest position when the ice
maker is installed.
The water valve cover assembly that came
with the Owner’s Manual must be installed
when installing the optional ice maker
kit. Please call 1-800-432-2737 and order
part WR13X20070 if the water valve cover
assembly is missing.
Water Supply Kits
Kits containing copper tubing, shutoff valve,
fittings and instructions needed to connect the
ice maker 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.

Care and cleaning of the refrigerator.
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 stainless steel door with
a soiled dishcloth or wet towel. These may
leave a residue that can erode the finish. Do
not use scouring pads, powdered cleaners,
bleach or cleaners containing bleach
because these products can scratch and
weaken the finish. Use only a liquid cleanser
free of grit and rub in the direction of the
brush lines.
The stainless steel door and door handle
can be cleaned with a commercially
available stainless steel cleaner. Cleaners
with oxalic acid (e.g. Bar Keepers Friend
Soft Cleanser) will remove rust, lime, and
other tarnish. Do not use appliance wax or
polish on the stainless steel.
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.
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.
8VHZDUPZDWHUDQGEDNLQJVRGDVROXWLRQ³
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.

gaskets, fruit and vegetable drawers, and all
SODVWLFSDUWV³FDQEHFOHDQHGWKHVDPHZD\
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.
Do not wash any plastic refrigerator parts
in the dishwasher.
Avoid cleaning cold glass shelves (on some
models) 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.

Preparing for Vacation
For long vacations or absences, remove food
and unplug the refrigerator. Clean the interior
with a baking soda solution of one tablespoon
(15 ml) of baking soda to one quart (1 liter) of
water. Leave the doors open.
Preparing to Move
Remove food and unplug the refrigerator.
Secure all loose items such as shelves and
drawers by taping them securely in place to
prevent damage.
Be sure the refrigerator stays in an upright
position during moving.

HUMMM...
WHOOSH...
 The new high efficiency compressor may run faster and
longer than your old refrigerator and you may hear a
high-pitched hum or pulsating sound while
it is operating.
 You may hear a whooshing sound when the doors close.
This is due to pressure equalizing within the refrigerator.
Newer refrigerators sound different from older refrigerators. Modern refrigerators
have more features and use newer technology.
 You may hear the fans spinning at high speeds.
This happens when the refrigerator is first plugged in,
when the doors are opened frequently or when a large
amount of food is added to the refrigerator or freezer
compartments. The fans are helping to maintain
the correct temperatures.
CLICKS, POPS,
CRACKS and CHIRPS
 You may hear cracking or popping sounds when
the refrigerator is first plugged in. This happens
as the refrigerator cools to the correct temperature.
 The compressor may cause a clicking or chirping sound
when attempting to restart (this could take
up to 5 minutes).
 Expansion and contraction of cooling coils during and
after defrost can cause a cracking or popping sound.
 On models with an ice maker, after an ice making
cycle, you may hear the ice cubes dropping into the ice
bucket.
WATER SOUNDS
 The flow of refrigerant through the freezer cooling coils
may make a gurgling noise like boiling water.
 Water dropping on the defrost heater can cause a
sizzling, popping or buzzing sound during the defrost
cycle.
 A water dripping noise may occur during the defrost
cycle as ice melts from the evaporator and flows into
the drain pan.
 Closing the door may cause a gurgling sound due
to pressure equalization.
Do you hear what I hear? These sounds are normal.

hielo, evite el contacto con las partes móviles del mecanismo
de expulsión, o con el elemento calefactor localizado en la
parte inferior del dispositivo para hacer hielo. No ponga los
dedos ni las manos en el mecanismo automático para hacer
hielo mientras el refrigerador esté conectado.
Aleje los dedos fuera de las áreas donde se puede pinchar los
dedos; los espacios entre las puertas y entre las puertas y los
gabinetes son necesariamente estrechos. Cierre las puertas
con cuidado en la presencia de los niños.

Antes de substituir una bombilla quemada, el refrigerador
debe ser desenchufado para evitar el contacto con un
filamento del alambre vivo. (La bombilla quemada de A puede
romperse al ser substituido.)
USO DE CABLES DE EXTENSION
Debido a los accidentes potenciales que pudieran ocurrir bajo determinadas condiciones, se recomienda estrictamente no
usar cables de extensión.
Sin embargo, si decidiera usarlos, es absolutamente necesario que sea del tipo UL trifilar para aparatos y cuente con una clavija
con conexión a tierra y que el cable eléctrico sea de 15 amperios (mínimo) y 120 voltios.
