IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read All Instructions Before Using This Appliance.
A
WARNING—When using this appliance,
always exercise basic safety precautions,
including the following:
● Use this appliance only for its intended purpose
as described in this Use and Care Book.
●
●
●
●
●
●
●
●
This refrigerator must be properly installed in
accordance with the Installation Instructions
before it is used. See grounding instruction in the
installation section.
Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on
the power cord. Always grip plug firmly and pull
straight out from the outlet.
Repair or replace immediately all electric service
cords that have become frayed or otherwise
damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or
abrasion damage along its length or at either the
plug or connector end,
When moving your refrigerator away from the
wall, be careful not to roll over or damage the
power cord.
Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang on
the shelves in the refrigerator. They could damage
the refrigerator and seriously injure themselves.
If your old refrigerator is still around the house,
but not in use, be sure to remove the doors.
This
will reduce the possibility of danger to children.
After your refrigerator is in operation, do not
touch the cold surfaces, particularly when hands
are damp or wet. Skin may adhere to these
extremely cold surfaces.
Don’t use an electrical device or sharp instrument
in defrosting the frozen food storage compartment.

● Don’t refreeze frozen foods which have thawed
completely. The United States Department of
Agriculture in Home and Garden Bulletin No,
69 says:
“.. .You may safely refreeze frozen foods that have
thawed if they still contain ice crystals or if they are
still cold—below
40”F.
“.. .Thawed ground meats, poultry or fish that have
any off-odor or off-color should not be refrozen and
should not be eaten. Thawed ice cream should be
discarded. If the odor or color of any food is poor
or questionable, get rid of it. The food may be
dangerous to eat.
“.. .Even partial thawing and refreezing reduces the
eating quality of foods, particularly fruits, vegetables
and prepared foods. The eating quality of red meat
is affected less than that of many other foods. Use
refrozen foods as soon as possible to save as much
of their eating quality as you can.
.
unplug your refrigerator before cleaning and ma~ng
repairs. NOTE: We strongly recommend that any
servicing be performed by a qualified individual.
● Before replacing a burned out light bulb, the
refrigerator should be unplugged in order to avoid
contact with a live wire filament. A burned-out
light bulb may break when being replaced.
NOTE: Turning the control to the OFF position
does not remove power to the light circuit.
c Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable
vapors and liquids in
the vicinity of this or any
other appliance.

FOOD STORAGE SUGGESTIONS
Frozen Food Storage Compartment
This refrigerator’s frozen food storage compartment
will make ice and will store pre-frozen foods for
about two weeks.
It will not effectively freeze fresh foods or provide
long term storage for meats, poultry or fish. These
products should be used within several
clays.
Pre-frozen concentrates and high sugar content
foods, such as frozen orange juice and ice cream,
will not remain completely solid (frozen) and must
be used quickly. For best results such items should be
placed in direct contact with the refrigerated surface
(where frost
forlms first).
If additional firmness is desired:
● Set temperature control to colder position (“9” is
coldest).
. Transfer ice cream from original carton to a covered,
flat-bottomed container.
For best storage of frozen foods:
Use moisture-proof wrapping material and bags or
regular freezer containers. Commercially-frozen foods
are usually suitably packaged.

CARE AND CLEANING
Outside Inside
The door handles and trim can be cleaned with a Inside the fresh food and frozen food storage
cloth dampened with
a solution of mild liquid
dishwashing detergent and water. Dry with a soft
cloth. Don’t use wax on the door handles and trim.
Keep the finish clean. Wipe with a clean cloth lightly
dampened with kitchen appliance wax or mild liquid
dishwashing detergent. Dry and polish with
a clean,
soft cloth. Do not wipe the refrigerator with a soiled
dishwashing cloth or wet towel. These may leave a
residue that can erode the paint. Do not use scouring
pads, powdered cleaners, bleach or cleaners
containing bleach because these products can scratch
and weaken the paint finish.
Protect the paint finish. The finish on the outside of
the refrigerator is a high quality, baked-on paint finish.
With proper care, it will stay new-looking and rust-free
for years. Apply a coat of kitchen/appliance wax when
the refrigerator is new and then at least twice a year.
Appliance Polish Wax & Cleaner (Cat. No. WR97X02 16)
is available from GE Appliance Service and Parts Centers.
compartments should be cleaned at least once a year.
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 of baking soda to a quart of water. This
both cleans and neutralizes odors. Rinse thoroughly
with water and wipe dry. Other parts of the
refrigerator, including door gasket, vegetable drawer,
ice trays and all plastic parts, can be cleaned the same
way. Do not use cleansing powders or other abrasive
cleaners. To help prevent odors, leave an open box of
baking soda in the rear of the refrigerator, on the top
shelf. Change the box every three months. An open
box of baking soda in the frozen food storage
compartment will absorb stale odors.
Do not wash any plastic parts from your refrigerator
in your automatic dishwasher.
Defrosting
Defrost whenever frost becomes 1/4” to 1/2” thick.
Never use a sharp or pointed instrument to remove
frost as it may result in damage to the cooling coils.
Use of a plastic scraper is recommended. Do not use
any electrical device in defrosting your refrigerator.
To Defrost:
● Remove foods from frozen food storage
compartment and chiller tray. To reduce the amount
of thawing of frozen food while defrosting the
frozen food storage compartment, store the food in a
picnic cooler or other insulated container.
● Turn temperature control to “OFF”.
● Place pans of hot water in frozen food storage
compartment to speed melting of ice.
After Defrosting:
● Empty water from chiller tray.
. Wash chiller tray in warm water and wipe frozen
food storage compartment with a damp cloth.
● Remove vegetable pan and wipe up spills in bottom
of refrigerator.
CAUTION: Do not touch refrigerator coils or
refrigerating surfaces, particularly when hands are
damp or wet.

For shorter vacations, remove perishable foods and
leave the control at regular setting. However, if room
temperature is expected to drop below
40°F. follow
the same instructions
as for extended vacations.
Leveling Legs
1-
Adjustable legs at the front corners of the refrigerator should be set so the
refrigerator is firmly positioned on the
floor and the front is raised just
enough that the door closes easily when opened about halfway.
To adjust the leveling legs, turn legs clockwise to raise the refrigerator,
counterclockwise to lower it.
