SAFETYPRECAUTIONS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:
This refl_igerator 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 fl_e sheb,,es in fl_e refligerato_: They could
damage the reflJgerator and seriously i_)ure
themselves.
}}_Do not touch the cold smfaces in the fleezer
compartment when hands are damp or wet.
Skin may stick to these extremely cokt surf_ces.
}}_Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable
vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any
other appliance.
_ In refligerators wifl_ automatic icemakers,
avoid contact with the moving parts of the
eiector mechanism, or with the heating element
located on the bottom of the icemake_: Do not
place finge_ or hands on the automatic
icemaldng mechanism while the refligerator
is plugged in.
}};_Keep fingers out of the "pinch point' a_ eas
clearances between the doo_ and between the
doors and cabinet are necessarily small. Be carefhl
closing (too_ when children are in the area.
_ Unplug d_e refligerator before cleaning and
making repab_.
NOTE:Westronglyrecommendthatanyservicingbe

}}_Setfing either or both controls (some models only
have one control) to the 0 (off) position does not
remove power to the light circuit.
}}_Do not refleeze Dozen foods which have

OF B T
PROPERDISPOSALOFTHEREFRIGERATOR
Child entrapment and suf_bcafion are not
problems of the p_t. Junked or abandoned
refligerators are still dangerous...even if fl_ey will
sit for "just a few days." If you are getting rid of
yore old refligerato,; please follow the insm_cdons
below to help prevent accidents.
Before YouThrowAway YourOld
Refrigeratoror Freezer:
} Take off the do(n_.
Refrigerants
All refi_igerafion products contain refligerams,
which under federal law must be removed prior
to product disposal. If you are getdng rid of an
old refligeradon product, check with the company
handling the disposal about what to do.
}_Leave the shelves in place so that children
may not easily climb inside.

USEOFEXTENSIONCORDS
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-listed (in Canada), 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a grotmding
type plug and outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord be 15 amperes (minimmn) and 120 volts.

ge.com
A
HOWTOCONNECTELECTRICITY
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 dds appliance is equipped wkh
a3-prong (flqoundfl_g) plug which mates wifll a
standard 3-prong (gqotmding) wall outlet to
minimize fl_e possibflit T of electric shock hazard
flom flds appliance.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a
qualified electrician to make sme the outlet is
properly grounded.
Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is
encotmtered, it is yore personal responsibility and
obligation to have it replaced with a properly
grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
The refligerator shouM always be plugged into its
own individual electrical oudet which has a voltage
rating that matches the rating plate.
This provides the best perfbm_ance and also
prevents overloading house wiring circuits which
could cause a fire hazard flom overheated wires.
Never unplug your refl_igerator by pulling on the
power cord. Always grip plug firmly and pull
straight out flom the outlet.
Repair or replace immediately all power cords that
have become flayed or otherwise dmnaged. Do not
use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage
along its length or at either end.
When moving the refl_igerator away flom the
wall, be careful not to roll over or damage the
power cord.

About the controls on the refrigerator.
ControlSettings
Initially, set the control(s) at 5(some models have

to stabilize.
Several adjustments may be required. Adjust the
control(s) one increment at a time and aflow 12hours
after each adjustment for the refrigerator to reach the
temperature you have set.
Setting the refrigerator control to 0 stops cooling in
both the freezer and refrigerator compartments but (on some models)
does not shut off electrical power to the refrigerator.
Thefreezer control (on some models)has no effect on electrical power to the refrigerator.
Controlsettings will vary basedonpersonalpreferences,usage andoperating conditions, andmay require
morethanone adjustment.Factorsthataffect temperatureinclude the amountof foodin the refrigeratoror
freezer,the frequencyof dooropening andthe temperature of foodwhen it is placed in the refrigerator.

, FeelerArmin
theSTOP
FeelerArmin (up)position
the ON(down)
position
Feeler arm model
The icemaker will produce approximately
3 to 3½ lbs. of ice in a 24-horn period,
depending on tile fleezer compartment
mmperatme, room temperature, number
of door openings and other use conditions.
If tile refrigerator is operamd befbre tile

Tile icemaker will fill with water when it
cools to 15°E A newly-insudled refligerator
mW rake 12 to 24 hom_ to begin making
ice cubes.
Once file icemaker starts to make ice,
it may rake up to 48 hom_ to fill file bin,
depending on tile temperatme setdngs
and number of door openings.
You will hear a buzzing sound each time
tile icemaker fills with water:
Throw away tile fi_t few batches of ice
to allow tile water line to clear
Be sure nothing interferes with tile sweep
of the fe.eler aml.
When tile bin fills to the level of the feeler
aml, the icemaker will stop producing ice.
It is ncwmal fbr several cubes to be joined
together
If ice is not used flequenfly; okt ice cubes
will become cloudy; taste stole, shrink or

Toremove the base grille:
Grasp it about 6" flom each end and pull
its bottom edge toward you.

Cleaning the condenser:
Sweep away or vacumn up dust.
Formodels with a base grille, reach die
condenser by inserting a brash or vacuum

WATER SUPPLY TO THE iCEMAKER
{on some models}
If the refligerator has an icemaker, it will have to be
connected to a cold water line. A water supply kit
(containing copper robing, shutoff valve, fittings and
instructions) is available at extra cost flom your dealei,
by visiting our Website at ge.com (in Canada at
