Operating Instructions
Stainless Stee! Refrigerator
Temperature
controls ®
®FREEZER REFRIGERATOR
The temperature controls are preset in the factory at 37°F
for the fresh food compartment and O°F for the freezer
compartment. Allow 24 hours for the temperature to stabilize
to the preset recommended settings.
The temperature controls can display both the SETtemperature
as well as the actual temperature in the flesh food and freezer
compartments. The actual temperature may vary slightly
from the SET temperature based on usage and operating
environment.
Setting either or both controls to OFF stops cooling in both
the freezer and fresh food compartments but does not shut
off electrical power to the refrigerator.
NOTE; The refrigerator is shipped with protective film covering
the temperature controls. If this film was not removed during
installation, remove it now.
To change the temperature, press and release
the (_(warmer) or @ (colder) pad. The SETlight
will come on and the displag will show the set
temperature. To change the temperature, tap
either the ($) (warmer) or _')(colder)pad until
the desired temperature is displaged. Fresh food
temperatures can be adjusted between 34°F
and 44°Fand the freezer temperatures can be
adjusted between -6°F and +6°F.
Once the desired temperature has been
set, the temperature displag will return to
the actual fresh food and freezer temperatures
after 5 seconds. Several adjustments mag
be required. Eachtime gou adjust controls,
allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to reach
the temperature gou have set.
To turn the cooling sgstem off, tap
the @ (warmer) pad for either the fresh food
compartment or the freezer until the displag
shows OFF.To turn the unit back on, press
the @(colder) pad for either the fresh food
compartment or freezer.The SETlight will
illuminate on the side gou selected. Then press
the @(colder) pad again (on the side where
the SETlight is illuminated) and it will go to
the preset points of O°Ffor the freezer and 37°F
for the fresh food compartment.
Performance
Air Flow
Sgstem
The Performance Air-Flow Sgstem is designed to

and the Air Tunnel on the bottom portion of
the freezer rear wall. Placing food in front of
the louvers on these components will not affect
performance.
Although the Air Tower and the Air Tunnel
can be removed, doing sowill affect temperature
performance. (For removal instructions, on-line,

When the bin fills to the level of the feeler arm,
the icemaker will stop producing ice. It is normal
for several cubes to bejoined together.
If ice is not used frequentlg, old ice cubes will
become cloudg, taste stale and shrink.
NOTE:In homes with lower-than-average water
pressure, you may hear the icemoker c£cle
multiple times when making one batch of ice.
NOTE: Set the power switch to the 0 [off) position
if the water supp!£ is shut off.

Care and Cleaning
Stainless Steel Refrigerator
Cleaning
the outside The stainless steel panels and handles can be
cleaned with a commercially available stainless
steel cleaner such as Stainless Stee! MagicYM
Stainless SteelMagic isavailable at Ace, True
Value, Servistar, HWIand other leading stores.
It is also available through GE Parts and
Accessories, 800.626.2002. Order part number
WX!OX!5.
Do not use appliance wax or polish
on the stainless steel.
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.
Use warm water and baking soda solution-
about a tablespoon (15 ml)of baking soda to
a quart (1 liter) of water. This both cleans and
neutralizes odors. Rinseand wipe dry.
Use of any cleaning solution other than
that which is recommended, especially those
that contain petroleum distillates, can crack
or damage the interior of the refrigerator.
Avoid cleaning cold glass shelves 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.
Do not wash any plastic refrigerator parts
in the dishwasher.
Behind the
refrigerator Be careful when moving the refrigerator away
from the wall. All types of floor coverings can be
damaged, particularly cushioned coverings and
those with embossed surfaces.
Pull the refrigerator straight out and return it
to position by pushing it straight in. Moving
the refrigerator in a side direction may result
in damage to the floor covering or refrigerator.
When pushing the refrigerator back, make sure
you don't roll over the power cord or icemaker
supply line.
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.
Setthe icemaker power switch to the O[off)
position and shut offthe water supply to
the refrigerator.
If the temperature can drop below freezing,
have a qualified servicer drain the water supply
system to prevent serious property damage due
to flooding.
Preparing
to move
18
Secure all loose items such as shelves and
drawers by taping them securely in place
to prevent damage.
When using a hand truck to move the refrigerator,
do not rest the front or back of the refrigerator
against the hand truck. This could damage
the refrigerator. Handle only from the sides
of the refrigerator.
Be sure the refrigerator stays in an upright
position during moving.

Unplug the refrigerator.
The bulbs are located at the top
of the compartment, inside the light shield.
Toremove the light shield, pull forward
on the shield to disengage the tabs at the back
of the shield. Pull down to remove the light
shield.
After replacing the bulbs with appliance
bulbs of the same or lower wattage, replace
the light shield.When replacing the light shield,
set the front tabs into the appropriate slots
in the front of the shield housing and pull
forward to seat the tabs at the back
of the shield into the housing.

The Problem Solver
Stainless Stee! Refrigerator
Normal
operating
sounds
Newer refrigerators sound different from older refrigerators. Modern refrigerators have more
features and use newer technolog_t.
Do you hear what I hear? These sounds are normal.
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.
Sometimes the refrigerator runs for an
extended period, especially when the doors
are opened frequently. This means that
the Frost Guerd'"feature is working
to prevent freezer burn and improve
food preservation.
You may hear a whooshing sound when
the doors close.This is due to pressure
equalizing within the refrigerator.
CLICKS,POPS,
CRACKSand CHIRPS
You may hear cracking or popping sounds
when the refrigerator isfirst plugged in.
This happens as the refrigerator cools
to the correct temperature.
Electronic dampers click open and closed to
provide optimal cooling and energy savings.
The compressor may cause a clicking or
chirping sound when attempting to restart
(this could take up to 5 minutes).
The electronic control board may cause
a clicking sound when relays activate
to control refrigerator components.
Expansion and contraction of cooling coils
during and after defrost can cause a cracking
or popping sound.
After an icemaking cycle, you may hear
the ice cubes dropping into the ice bucket.
WHIR./
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.
If either door is open for over 3 minutes,
you may hear the fans come on in order
to cool the light bulbs.
Thefans change speeds in order to provide
optimal cooling and energy savings.
WATERSOUNDS

Theflow 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.
