that releasesthe cubes. Donot placefingers or
hands on the automatic icemaking mechanism
while the refrigerator isplugged in.
Keepfingers out of the "pinch point" areas;
clearances between the doors and between
the doors and cabinet are necessarily small.
Becareful closing doors when children are
in the area.
Unplug the refrigerator beforecleaning and making
repairs.
NOTE:Westrongly recommend that anb4servicing
beperformed bg o qualified individual.
Turning the control to the COLD position does
not remove power to the light circuit.
Do not refreezefrozen foods which have
thawed completely.
Before replacing a burned-out light bulb, the
refrigerator should be unplugged in order to avoid
contact with a livewire filament. (Aburned-out light
bulb may break when being replaced.)
DANGER! RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT
PROPERDISPOSAL OF THE 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." If you 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.

Allrefrigeration 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.

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 usean extension cord, it isabsolutely necessarythat it be a UL-listed(inthe United States)
or a CSA-listed(inCanada),5-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding type plug and
outlet and that the electricalrating of the cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 120 volts.

ge.col_
WARNING!
HOW TOCONNECT ELECTRICITY
Do not, under ong circumstonces, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
For personol sofetg, this opplionce must be properlg grounded.
Thepower cord ofthis 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.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by
a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet
isproperly grounded.
Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet isencountered,
it is your personal responsibility and obligation to
have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong
wall outlet.
Therefrigerator should always be plugged into its
own individual electricaloutlet which hasa voltage
rating that matches the rating plate.
Thisprovides 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.
Repairor replace immediately all power cords that
have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not
usea 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.

Other parts of the refrigerator-including door
gaskets,fruit and vegetable drawers, and all
plastic parts-can be cleanedthe same way.
After cleaning the door gaskets,apply a thin
layer of petroleumjelly to the door gaskets
at the hinge side.This helpskeepthe gaskets
from sticking and bending out of shape. Do
not usecleansing powders or other abrasive
cleaners.
Donot wash anblplastic refrigerator parts
in the dishwasher.
