Please Read Carefully
Use of Adapter Plug
Becauseof potential safety
hazards under certainconditions,
we strongly recommend against use
of an adapter plug. However,
if
you
stillelect to use anadapter, where
local codespermit,aTEMPORARY
CONNECTION may be made toa
properly grounded two-prongwall
outletby use of a UL listedadapter
(Fig.
2)
availableat most local
hardware stores.
lADAPTERPLUGSNOT
PERMITTED IN CANADA)
Larger slot
in
adapter must be
aligned
with
larger slot
in
wall
outletto provide proper polarity
in
connection of power cord.
CAUTION:
Attaching adapter
ground terminal
to
wall outlet cover
screw does not ground the appliance
unless cover screwis metal, and not
insulated, andwall outletis grounded
through housewiring.
You
should
have the circuit checkedby aqualified
electricianto make sure the outlet
is properly grounded.
When disconnectingthe power
cord fromtheadapter,
always hold
the adapter
with
one hand. If this
is not done,the adapterground
terminal is very likely to break
with
repeated use.
Shouldthe adapter ground
terminal break,
DO
NOT
USE
the
applianceuntila proper ground
has again beenestablished.
Use
ofExtension Cords
Becauseof potential safety
hazards under certain conditions,
we stronglyrecommend against the
use of an extensioncord. However,
if
you still elect to use an extension
cord,
it
is absolutelynecessary that
it
be a UL listed3-wire grounding
type
applianceextension cord having
a groundingtype plugand outlet
and thatthe electrical ratingof the
cord be
15
amperes (minimum)and
120volts. Such extensioncords are
obtainablethrough yourlocal
serviceorganization.
The refrigerator should always
be plugged into
its
own
individual electrical outlet-
(115 volt,
60
Hertz, or
100
volt,
50
Hertz, singlephase AC).This is
recommended for bestperformance
and to prevent overloading house
wiring circuits, which couldcause
afirehazard from overheating wires.
Refrigerator Location
Do
not install refrigerator where
temperature willgobelow
60°F.
because
it
will
not run often enough
to maintain propertemperatures.
Do
install
it
on a floorstrong
enoughto supporta fully loaded

regarding location.

Water Supply toIcemaker
(on
models
so
equipped)
You will need toconnectyour
icemakerto acold water line.
A
water supply kitcontainingcopper
tubing, shut-off valve,fittingsand
instructionsis availableatextra
cost from your dealer.Thereshould
be
sufficient tubingforthe icemaker

to
allow
moving therefrigeratorout from

RollerdLeveling
Legs
Some modelshave adjustable
rollers
that enableyou to move
the refrigeratoraway from the
wall for cleaning; othermodels
have
adjustable leveling legs.
Rollers
or
legs, located behind the
base grille, should be set
so
the
refrigeratoris firmly positioned on
the
floor
and the front is raisedjust
enough that thedoors close easily
when openedabout halfway.
To
adjust rollersor leveling legs,
remove the basegrille by grasping
it
at the bottom and pulling
it
out.
Turn roller adjusting screwsor
leveling legs
clockwiseto raise
refrigerator,counterclockwise
to
lower
it.
Use adjustablewrench
(318" hexhead bolt) or pliers.
When adjustingfront rollers
or
leveling legs
for
properdoorclosure,
it is recommended that the bottom
frontedge
of
the cabinetbe
approximately 3/4"from the
floor.
To
replace basegrille,
align prongs

How
to Test Temperatures
Use the milk test for the fresh food
compartment.
Place acontainerof
milk on the top shelf
in
the fresh
food compartment.Check it
a
day
later.
If
the
milk
is too warm
or
too
cold, adjust the temperature controls.
Usethe ice creamtest for the

Place a
container of ice cream
in

it
after aday. If it’stoo hardor too

Always allow
24
hoursfor

...you may want to turn thelettered

as
from “C”

Coolertemperatures
in
the
house may causethe compressorto
operate less frequently, thus allowing
the freezercompartment to warm
somewhat. To protect your frozen
food supply, leave your
lettered
setting atthis coldersettingfor the
entire winter
or
for whatever period
of time you are turning down your
thermostat. This is especially
important when thethermostat is
turned downfor an extended
period.
Thischangeshould have noeffect
on your fresh foodcompartment.
However,
if
freezingoccurs,
turn
the numberedcontrol one step
warmer,
as
from
“5”
to
“4:’
When you stopturning the
thermostatdown, turn temperature
controls back to their regular settings.
Energy Saver Switch
The Energy Saver Switch is located
on the upper leftsideof the fresh
food compartment.
To
reduce the amount
of
electricity required
to
operate
your refrigerator,pushswitch
to the NORMAL position.
This
turns off heaters in your refrigerator
that preventmoisture from forming
on the outside.
Use of the Energy Saver Switchcan
save you money. Estimated yearly
savings, dependingon your local
electricrates, are as follows:

With the heatersturned off,there
is
a
chancethat moisturemay form
on theoutsideof your refrigerator,
especiallywhen the weather is
humid. Thehumidity is most likely
to be high
in
the summer,
in
the
early morning hours, and
in
homes
which are not
air
conditioned.
Over an extended periodof time,
moisturethat forms on theoutside
may cause deteriorationof the paint
finish.
It
will
be
important
to protect
the finish by using appliance polish
wax
as
described on page
11.
When the Energy Saver Switch
is
pushed to the right,
electricity
flows through the
low
wattage
heaters which warm the outside
of the cabinet
and,
under most
conditions,prevent the forming
of moisture
or
water droplets.
No
Defrosting
It is not necessary to defrost the
freezer
or
fresh food compartments.
Your refrigerator is designed and
equipped to defrost itself
automatically.

Covering vegetables with a moist

To

ice
cream-Fine-quality
ice cream,with high cream
content, will normally require
slightlylower temperatures than
more “airy” already-packaged
brands with low cream content.
It
will
be necessary
to
experiment
to
determine the freezer compart-
ment location and temperature con-
trol setting
to
keep your ice cream
at the right serving temperature.
The rear
of
the freezer compart-
ment isslightlycolder than the front.
Tipsonfreezingfoods
There are threeessential require-
ments for efficient homefreezing.
1.
Initial
quality.
Freeze only
top-quality foods. Freezing retains
qualityand flavor;itcannot improve
quality.
2.
Speed. The quicker fruits and
vegetables are frozen afterpicking,
the better the frozen productwill
be. You’ll save time, too-less
cullingand sortingwill be needed.
3.
Proper packaging. Use food
wraps designed especially for
freezing.

cubes normally freeze after several
hours. When cubes are solidly
frozen,they
will
be ejected from
the mold into the ice storagebin by
means of a sweeper arm. Icemaking
will
continue until the feeler arm
senses asufficient accumulationof
ice cubes in the storagebin and
halts the operation temporarily.
For
maximum ice storage,level
the stored cubeswith your hand
occasionally. Be sure nothing
interferes with the swing of the
feeler arm.
The icemakerejects cubesin
groups of eight and
it
is normal
for several cubes
to

together.

periods when ice isn't used.
Caution:
Under certain rare circum-
stances, ice cubes may be
discolored, usually appearing
with
a
green-bluish hue. The
cause of this unusual discolor-
ation is apparently due
to
a
combinationof factors such
as
certain characteristics
of
local
waters, household plumbing
and the accumulationof copper
salts in an inactive water supply
line which feeds the icemaker.
Continued consumption
of
such
discolored ice cubesmay be
injurious to health.If such dis-
coloration is observed, discard
the ice cubes andcontact your

Your

only
be as fresh-tasting as the
water that produces them.
That's
why
it's a good idea
to
purify your water
with
a QuadraKleen Water
Filter.
Its activated charcoal
removes musty, stale odors
and unpleasant medicinal,
metallic tastes. A porous
fiber cartridge catches
dirt, rust particles, sand
and silt while special
crystals reduce deposits
of
hard scale.
Thewater filter
is
available from
your local GEdealer. Specify
WR97X214. It has completeinstal-
lation instructions and installs in
