Where astandard two-prong

the personal responsibility and
obligation of the customer to have it
replaced with aproperly grounded
wall outlet.

h’@dlatiOnRequirements (continued)–IMPORTANT.. .Please Read Carefully
Use of adapter plug
Because of potential safety
hazards under certain conditions,
we strongly recommend against use
of an adapter plug. However, if you
still elect to use an adapter, where
local codespermit, aTEMPORARY
CONNE~ION maybe made to a
properly grounded two-prong wall
outlet by use of aUL listed adapter
(Fig. 2) available at most local
hardware stores.
TEMPORARYMETHOD
(ADAPTER PLUGS NOT
PERMITTED IN CANAOA) f%
The larger slot in the adapter
must be aligned with the larger slot
in the wall outlet to provide proper
polarity in the connection of the
power cord.
CAUTION: Attaching adapter
ground terminal to wall outlet
cover screw does not ground the
appliance unless cover screw is
metal, and not insulated, and wall
outlet is grounded through house
wiring. Youshould have the circuit
checked by aqualified electrician
to make sure the outlet is properly
grounded.
When disconnecting the power
cord from the adapter, alwayshold
the adapter with one hand. If this
is not done, the adapter ground
terminal is very likely to break
with repeated use.
Should the adapter ground
terminal break, DO NCYI’USE the
appliance until aproper ground
has again been established.
Use of extension cords
Because of potential safety
hazards under certain conditions,
we strongly recommend against the
use of an extension cord. However,
if you still elect to use an extension
cord, it is absolutely necessary that
it be aUL listed 3-wire grounding
type appliance extensioncordhaving
agrounding type plug and outlet
and that the electrical rating of the
cord be 15amperes (minimum) and
120volts. Such extension cords are
obtainable through your local
service organization.
The ref~erator should
alwaysbe plugged intoits
own individual electrical
outlet—
(115volt, 60 Hertz, or 100volt,
50 Hertz, single phase AC). This
is recommended for best
performance and to prevent
overloading house wiring circuits,
which could cause apossible fire
hazard from overheating wires.
RefrigeratorInstallation
Location
Do not install refrigerator where
temperature will go below 60”F.
because it will not run often enough
to maintain proper temperatures.
Do install it on afloor strong
enough to support afully loaded
refrigerator.
Also see Energy-Saving Tips
regarding location.
Clearances
Allow the following clearances for
ease of installation and proper air
circulation:
Sides . . . . . . . . . . . . ...5/8”
Top . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ...2”
Back .................O
Allow the following door clearance:
Hinged side ......... 1-1/2”
Leveling Legs
Adjustable legs at the front
comers ofthe refrigerator should
be set so the refrigerator is firmly
positioned on floor and the front is
raised just enough that the door
closes easily when opened about
halfway.
Turn leveling legs clockwise to
raise refrige~to;, counterclockwise
to lower it.

(On some models, the no cooling
setting reads “OFF.”)
Initially set the temperature control
dial at “5.”
After using refrigerator, adjust
temperature control setting that is
best suited to your needs.
Note: llmning control to the “O”
position stops cooling but does
not shut off power to the
refrigerator.
If you turn your
household thermostat
below 60°at night
. . you may want to set the
temperature control one number
colder, as from “5” to “6.” It
should be left in this setting for the
entire period that you are turning
down your thermostat.
When you stop turning the
thermostat down, turn the
temperature control back to its
regular setting.
Chiller Thy Baffle

FrozenFood StorageCompartment
This refrigerator’s frozen food
storage compartment will make
ice and will store pre-frozen
foods for about 2weeks.
It will not effectively freeze
fresh foods or provide long term
storage for meats, poultry or fwh.
These products should be used
within several days.
Pre-frozen concentrates and
high sugar content foods, such as
fromn orangejuice and icecream,
will not remain completely solid
(frozen) and must also be used
quickly. For best possible results,
such items should be placed in
direct contact with the refrigerated
surface (where frost forms first).
If additional firmness is desired
in ice cream:
●Be sure chiller tray baffle is in the
OUT position (see page 5).
●Set temperature control to colder
position (“9” is coldest).
●Transfer ice cream from original
carton to acovered, flat-bottomed
container.
For best storage of frozen foods:
Use moisture-proof wrapping
material and bags or regular freezer
containers. (Commercially-frozen
fds are usually suitablypackaged.)

Care and Cleaning
Cleaning—Outside
The door handles and trim can
be cleaned with acloth dampened
with asolution ofmild liquid
dishwashing detergent and water.
Dry with asoftcloth. Don’tuse
waxon the door handles andtrim.
Keep the finish clean. Wipewith
aclean cloth lightly dampened
with kitchen appliance waxor mild
liquid dishwashing detergent. Dry
and polish with aclean, softcloth.
Do not wipe the refrigerator with
asoiled dishwashing cloth or wet
towel. These mayleavearesidue
that can erode the paint. Do not use
scouring pads, powdered cleaners,
bleach or cleaners containingbleach
because these products can scratch
and weakenthe paint finish.
Protect the paint finish. The finish
on the outside ofthe refrigerator is a
high quality, baked-on paint finish.
With proper care, itwill staynew-
looking and rust-free foryears.
Apply acoat ofkitchen/appliance
waxwhen the refrigerator is new
and then at least twice ayear.
Appliance Polish Wax&Cleaner
(Cat. No. WR97X216)is available
from GE Appliance Parts Marts.
Cleaning-Inside
Inside the fresh food and frozen
food storage compartments
should be cleaned at least once a
year. Unplug the refrigerator before
cleaning. Ifthis is not practical,
wring excessmoisture out ofsponge
or cloth when cleaning around
switches, lights or controls.
Use warm water and baking soda
solution—about atablespoon of
baking soda to aquart ofwater.
This both cleans and neutralizes
odors. Rinse thoroughly with water
and wipe dry.
Other parts ofthe refrigerator—
including door gasket, vegetable
drawer, icetraysand all plastic
parts-can be cleaned the same way.
Do not use cleansing powdersor
other abrasive cleaners.
Tohelp prevent odors, leave
anopen box ofbaking soda inthe
rear ofthe refrigerator, on the top
shelf. Change the box everythree
months. An open box ofbaking
soda in the freezer will absorb
stale freezerodors.
Do not wash any plastic parts
from your refrigerator in your
automatic dishwasher.
Beneath Refrigerator
In the refrigeration process, it is
normal that heat be expelled in the
area under the refrigerator. Some
synthetic floor coverings will
discolor at these normal and safe
operating temperatures. Yourfloor
covering supplier should be
consulted if you object to this
discoloration.
Behind Refrigerator
Care should be taken in moving
your refrigerator awayfrom the
wall. All types of floor coverings
can be darnaged, particularly
cushioned coverings and those
with embossed surfaces.
When yougo
onvacation
For extended vacations or
absences, shut off power to
refrigerator, turn the temperature
control to “O;’ clean interior with
baking soda solution of one
tablespoon of soda to one quart
of water. Wipe dry. Toprevent
odors, leave open box of soda in
refrigerator. Leavedoor open.
For shorter vacations, remove
perishable foods and leave control
at regular setting. However, if
room temperature is expected to
drop below 60”F., follow same
instructions as for extended
vacations.
When youmove
/. .
Disconnect power cord from wall
receptacle and remove all food.
Follow defrosting instructions (see
page 6), then clean and dry the ----,
interior. .-
Secure all loose items such as
shelves and storage pans by taping
them securely in place to prevent
damage.
Be sure refrigerator stays in upright
position only during actual moving
and in van. Refrigerator must be
secured invanto prevent movement.
Protect outside of refrigerator
with blanket.
