*This new Profile Side by Side dual evaporator refrigerator has the following features:
New integrated dispenser with LED lighting, child lock, and door alarm combined with LCD screen
provides customer control of temperatures and features presented in computer-style menus.
Separate freezer and fresh food evaporators with independent cooling.
No damper/air inlet assembly in the fresh food section creates more usable space on the top shelf.
Greater fresh food humidity to keep food fresher, longer.
20% less freezer defrost for better food preservation.
3-way valve to direct refrigerant flow.
• Nearly silent, only 30 dBA.
Precise Fill technology dispenses
fresh, filtered water in accurate
measurements.
QuickFreezeTM ― Freeze items 2 times
faster to enhance food preservation.
During normal freezing, ice crystals
form in the shape of needles that
puncture the cell walls of meat.
Punctured cell walls lose fluid during
defrosting thus losing nutrients and
freshness. The QuickFreeze option
freezes the cell walls before ice
needles develop.
Quick Ice ― Increases ice production
by approximately 40%.
TurboCoolTM ― Rapidly cools the
refrigerator compartment in order to
more quickly cool foods.
CustomCoolTM ― Quickly chill, thaw, or hold items at a specific temperature.
Electronic Beverage Center ― Keeps beverages and treats icy cold and easily accessible.
GE Reveal®Lighting ― Casts a clean, beautiful light throughout the refrigerator.
The 3-speed compressor* is controlled by an inverter that receives input from the low voltage DC side of the
main control board. The inverter always has 120 VAC applied when the refrigerator is connected to power.
The main control board still makes compressor decisions based on the input of thermistors, door-open
time, and input from the LCD display. The main control also operates all other electrical components in the
refrigerator such as the water valve, fan motors, lights, etc.

How it Works
The ClimateKeeper2™ is the industry’s most advanced
refrigeration system, delivering optimum temperature
and humidity performance to keep food garden fresh
longer and reduce freezer burn, while maintaining E star-
level efficiency.
The ClimateKeeper2 system features two evaporators―
one for the refrigerator and one for the freezer. This
provides two separate cooling systems, and separates
About ClimateKeeperTM
the airflow between the fresh food and freezer
compartments during normal cooling operations.*
This ensures that the humidity levels in the fresh
food compartment are significantly higher than in a
conventional system,** allowing fresh produce and
other unsealed foods to retain their moisture content
and freshness longer. Moisture sensitive foods such
as fresh fruit, salads, rice, etc., can now be stored on
open shelves without excessive moisture loss. Due to
the higher humidity in the refrigerator, you may on
occasion experience fog or small amounts of moisture
in the refrigerator compartment. This is normal and may
come and go as different food loads and environmental
conditions change. Wipe dry with a paper towel if desired.
The separate airflow system minimizes the mixing of
air between the two compartments, which reduces
fresh food odor transfer to improve the taste of ice.
The ClimateKeeper2 system also reduces the number
of defrosting cycles in the freezer evaporator, thereby
reducing freezer burn.
*Freezer air is used in the CustomCool™ feature.
**Testing shows a higher level of humidity in the Fresh
Food section in ClimateKeeper2 refrigerators versus
conventional units.

Quick Ice
When you need to speed up ice production, use the
Quick Ice feature. While this feature is turned on, the
freezer fan runs continuously for 48 hours, or until the
feature is turned OFF. During this period, ice production
will increase up to 40% (up to 2 lbs/day). Models with
the integrated ice feature system require at FIRST USE
at least half an 8 oz. glass of ice to be dispensed every
6 to 12 hours. This will help the icemaker fill the bucket
properly so that dispensing is better.
Note: Ice production will vary according to usage
conditions, or if the same feature is deactivated earlier.
How to Use
Access by pressing: Home > Options > Freezer Options
>Quick Ice. Activate by pressing ON. Deactivate by
pressing OFF.

About CustomCoolTM (on some models)
How it Works
The CustomCool™ feature is used to quickly chill items, thaw items, or hold the pan
at a specific temperature. This feature is a system of dampers, a fan, a temperature
thermistor, and a heater. The pan is tightly sealed to prevent temperature fluctuations
in the rest of the refrigerator. The controls for this pan are located on the dispenser with
the temperature controls.
How to Remove and Replace the Drawer
To remove: Pull the drawer out to the stop position.
Rotate all four swing locks to the unlock position. Lift the
front of the drawer up and out.
To replace: Make sure all four swing locks are in the
unlock position. Place the sides of the drawer into the
drawer supports, making sure the swing locks fit on the
drawer slots. Lock all four swing locks by rotating them to
the lock position.
Use the following list to determine the best setting to use.
On some models, ExpressChill™ has only one 45 minute setting.
To stop a feature before it is finished; go into that feature’s menu and press the OFF button.
During ExpressThaw™ and ExpressChill, the display on the controls will count down the time in the cycle (on some
models).
After the ExpressThaw cycle is complete, the pan will reset to the MEAT setting (32°F [0°C]) to help preserve thawed
items until they are used.
The displayed actual temperature of the CustomCool pan may vary slightly from the SET temperature based on
usage and operating environment.
Note: For food safety reasons, it is recommended that foods be wrapped in plastic wrap when using ExpressThaw. This
will help contain meat juices and improve thawing performance.

How it Works
TurboCool™ rapidly cools the refrigerator compartment
in order to more quickly cool foods. Use TurboCool
when adding a large amount of food to the refrigerator
compartment, putting away foods after they have been
sitting out at room temperature or when putting away
warm leftovers. It can also be used if the refrigerator
has been without power for an extended period. Once
activated, the compressor will turn on immediately and
the fans will cycle on and off at high speed as needed
for eight hours. The compressor will continue to run until
the refrigerator compartment cools to approximately
34°F (1°C), then it will cycle on and off to maintain this
setting. After 8 hours, or if TurboCool is pressed again,
the refrigerator compartment will return to the original
setting.
About TurboCoolTM
Note: The refrigerator temperature cannot be changed
during TurboCool. The freezer temperature is not affected
during TurboCool. When opening the refrigerator door
during TurboCool, the fans will continue to run if they
have cycled on.
How to Use the Beverage Center

is designed to store beverages at colder temperatures.
Select this feature if you like to keep extra-chilled
refreshments on hand. Access by pressing Home >

Dispenser LED Light
The LIGHT selection on the LCD screen turns the
dispenser LED lights on and off. When the light
selection is turned off, the LEDs will fade out. The
dispenser LEDs will come on automatically when
the dispenser cradle is pressed and will fade out
approximately 5 seconds after it is released. The
LIGHT selection will not turn off the LEDs during
dispensing.
Dispensing Functions
The water, crushed ice, and cubed ice functions
are controlled by the main control board. To select
a function, press the appropriate pad on the
dispenser. The LED will light to identify the selection.
To dispense ice cubes or crushed ice, choose the
appropriate pad and depress the dispenser cradle.
The solenoid and linkage assembly will open the ice
chute duct door to dispense the ice. If cubed ice is
selected, a solenoid located behind the ice bucket
will lift a rod along the side of the bucket. This rod
pulls a flapper away from the cutter blades, allowing
cubes to bypass the ice crusher. The dispenser duct
door will remain open for approximately 3 seconds
after dispensing to allow all ice to clear the chute.
The dispenser light LEDs will come on automatically
when the dispenser cradle is pressed and will fade
out 5 seconds after it is released.
Dispenser Lock
When the dispenser system is locked, no dispenser
command will be accepted. This includes the
dispenser cradle and will prevent accidental
dispensing that may be caused by children or pets.
If the touch screen, pad, or the cradle is depressed
with the system locked, it will be acknowledged with
three pulses of the LOCK LED accompanied by an
audible tone.
To lock or unlock communication between the
dispenser and main control board, press the LOCK
pad and hold it for 3 seconds. The LOCK LED will
flash while the LOCK pad is pressed. When the
communication is locked, the LOCK LED will be
illuminated.
On some models, the status of other functions
selected prior to the initiation of the lock feature will
be displayed. If the lock is engaged while a mode is
active, the LED will remain on until that mode times
out.
If the lock is engaged when the filter timer expires,
the LED will come on but cannot be reset until the
lock is turned off.
The lock feature will be restored in the event of a
power disruption.
Liner Protection Mode
The dual evaporator model has separate liner
protection modes for each section. The specific
evaporator fan (freezer or fresh food) will start and
run on high speed if the door has been open for 3
minutes.
This mode is controlled by 2 timers. Timer #1
monitors door-open time. A 3-minute door-open
count begins when the door is opened. If 3 minutes
elapse before the door is closed, the liner protection
mode will become active. Once the door is closed,
timer #1 resets and liner protection mode goes into
standby. In standby, normal fan operation resumes
and timer #2 begins a 3-minute door-closed count.
If 3 minutes elapse without a door opening, liner
protection mode will completely deactivate. If a
door is opened within the timer #2 door-closed
count, the remaining time in the door-closed count
will be deducted from the timer #1 door-open count.
