HOW TO CONNECTELECTRICITY
Do not, under any circumstances, cut
or remove the third (groundJ 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@tong (grounding) plug which mates
with a standard 3@rong (grounding) wail outlet
to minimize the possibility of electric shock
hazard from this appliance.
Have the wail outlet and circuit checked
bg a qualified electrician to make sure
the outlet is properlg grounded.
Where a standard 2-prong wail outlet
is encountered, it is gour personal
responsibilitg and obligation to have
it replaced with a properlg grounded
3-prong wall outlet.
Use of a GFI (Ground Fault Interrupter)
is not recommended for the freshdood
refrigerator.
The appliance should alwags 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.
DO NOT USEAN ADAPTER
PLUG TO CONNECT THE
FRESH-FOOD REFRIGERATOR
TO A 2oPRONG OUTLET.
DO NOT USEAN EXTENSION
CORD WITH THIS APPLIANCE.
Never unplug an appliance bg pulling on
the power cord. Alwags grip the plug firmlg
and pull straight out from the outlet.
Repair or replace immediatelg all power
cords that have become fraged or otherwise
damaged. Do not use a cord that shows
crocks or abrasion damage along its length
or at either end.
When moving the appliance, be careful
not to roll over or damage the power cord.

Care and Cleaning
Fresh-Food Refrigerator
For your
safety Turn the fresh-food refrigerator OFF or unplug the unit before cleaning.
Turn the freshdood refrigerator OFF by pressing the button on the control panel
a minimum of 3 seconds until the light turns off.
Cleaning
the outside Door handles and trim-Clean with a cloth
dampened with soapy water. Dry with a soft
cloth.
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 refrigerator with a soiled
dish cloth or wet towel. These may leave
a residue that can damage the finish. Do
not use scouring pads, powdered cleaners,
bleach or cleaners containing bleach because
these products can scratch and damage
the finish.
Stainless Steel--Regularly clean and polish
the stainless steel exterior and handle with a
commercially available stainless steel cleaner
such as Stainless Steel Magic TM to preserve
and protect the fine finish. Stainless Steel
magic is available through GE Parts and
Accessories, 800.626.2002 or monogram.com.
Order part number WX10X15.
To avoid scratching the fine finish of the
stainless steel, wipe in the same direction
as the grain when polishing or cleaning
any stainless steel surface. The grain on
the fresh4ood refrigerator door runs
top to bottom.
Do not use appliance wax or polish on the
stainless steel.
Cleaning
the inside Unplug the flesh-food refrigerator before
cleaning. If this is not practical, turn the unit
OFF and wring excess moisture out of the
cloth or sponge when cleaning around lights
or controls.
Usewarm water and baking soda solution-
about a tablespoon (15ml)of baking soda
to a quart (1liter)of water.This both cleans
and neutralizes odors.Thoroughly rinseand
wipe dry.
Other parts of the flesh-food refrigerator-
including the door gaskets, vegetable pan and
glass shelves-can be cleaned the same way.
Avoid cleaning cold glass shelves with hot
water because the extreme temperature
difference may cause them to break. Handle
glass shelves carefully. Rough handling of
tempered glass can cause it to shatter.
Drain hole Periodically check the drain hole and
channel for any debris. If the drain is blocked,
condensation will not drain properly.
To check and clean the drain hole, remove
the bottom two glass shelves. Sweep a damp
cloth along the channel in the back of the
freshdood refrigerator. Use a finger to
sweep away any debris from the
drain hole.
Appearance may vary

The new high efficiency compressor
may run faster and longer than your
old appliance and you may hear a high-
pitched hum or pulsating sounds while
it is operating.
Sometimes the appliance runs for an
extended period, especially when the
doors are opened frequently.
You may hear a whooshing sound when
the doors close. This is due to pressure
equalizing within the appliance.
The cabinet fan runs continuously except
when the door is opened.
CLICKS,POPS,
CRACKSend CHIRPS
You mug hear cracking or popping
sounds when the appliance is first plugged
in. This happens as the opplionce cools to
the correct temperature.
The electronic control board mug cause
u clicking sound when relays activate to
control upplionce components.
Expansion and contraction of cooling coils
during and after defrost can cause
crocking or popping sounds.
WHIR./
You may hear the fans spinning at
high speeds. This happens when the
appliance is first plugged in, when the
door is opened frequently or when o large
amount of food is added to the appliance.
The fans help maintain desired
temperatures.
If the door is open for over 3 minutes,
you may hear the fans come on in order
to cool the light bulbs.
The fans change speeds in order to provide
optimal cooling and energy savings.
