DANGER!RISKOFCHILDENTRAPMENT
PROPERDISPOSALOFTHEREFRIGERATOR
Child enu'apment and suffocation are not problems
of {lie past.Junked or abandoned refrigerators are
still dangerous...even if they will sit for "just a few
days." If you we getOng rid of your old refrigerator,
please follow the instructions below to help prevent
accidents.
Before YouThrewAway YourOldRefrigerator
or Freezer:
_ Take off the doors.
_ Leave Ihe shelves in place so that children may
not easily climb inside.
CFCDisposal
Your old re@igerator has a cooling system that used
CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons). CFCs are believed to
harm stmlospheric 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 inten0onalty
release flaisCFC re@igerant you can be sut_iect to
fines and imprisonment under provisions of the
Federal Clean Air Act.

USEOFEXTENSIONCORDS
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend
against the use of an extension cord.
However, ifyou must use an extension cord, it is absolutely nece_smy that it be a UI Aisted (in the United
States) or a CSA-listed (in Canada), 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding
type plug and oudet and that the elecu-ical ra0ng of the cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 120 volts.

ww_.GEAppliances.com
AWARNING!
HOWTOCONNECTELECTRICITY
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. For
personal safe_ this appliance must be properly grounded.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped
with a 3-prong (ga'()unding) plug which mares
with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to
minimize Ihe possibility of etectlic shock h_ard
from this appliance,
Have 1he wall outlet and circuit checked by a
qualified etecuician to make sure the outlet is
properly grounded.
Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is
encountered, it is your pei,'sonal responsibility- and
obligation I()have it replaced with a properly-
grounded _prong wall outlet,
The refiigerator should always be plugged into its
own individual elecuical outlet which has a voltage
rating that matches the Fating plate.
"l_is pr_wides the best perfolTnance and also
prevents overloading house wiring circuits which
could cause a fire h_ard fi'om (werheated wires.
Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on I11e
power cord. Always grip plug firmly and pull straight
out from the outlet.
Repair or replace immediately all power coMs flaat
have become fi_ayed or otherwise damaged. Do not
use a cord Ihat shows cracks or abrasion damage
along its length or at either end.
When m(wing the refrigel_alor away fi'om the
wall, be careful not m roll over or dmnage the
power cord.
USEOFADAPTERPLUGS(Adapterplugsnotpermittedin Canada)
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against
the use of an adapter plug.
However, ifyou must use an adapter, where local
codes permit, a temporaryconnectionmay-be made
to a properly grounded 2-prong wall outlet by ttse
of a UIAisted adapter available at most local
hm'dware stores.
The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned with
the larger slot in the wall outlet to provide proper
polarity in flae connection of the power cord.
When disconnecting the power cord from Ilae
adapter, always hold the adapter in place wiflaone
hand while pulling the power cord plug with the
other hand. If flaisis not done, the adapter gnmnd
temfinal is very likely to break with repeated u_,
If I11eadapter ground terminal breaks, DO NOT USE
the refrigerator until a proper gnmnd has been
established.

Aboutthecontrolontherefrigerator.
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 12hours after each adjustment for the
refrigerator to reach the temperature you set.

Fruit and Vegetable Drawers
One or more storage dt_awersprovide space to store
fruiks, vegetables and meats.
Models widl a single full-width drawer have a divider
to separate meats and vegetables. The divider can be
removed ifa single lm'ge storage space isneeded.
The drawer will stop before coming all the way out
of the refrigerator to help prevent conlents fi'om
spilling onto flaefloor. It can be removed easily
by lifting up slightly and pulling past the "stop"
position.
To replace the drawer and the cover above it, tlle
door must be fully- opened. In some installations the
