Energy-sating tips
● Location of your refrigerator is
important. Avoid locating it next to
your range, a heating vent or
where the sun will shine directly
on it.
● Don’t open the doors more often
than necessary.
● Close the doors as soon as
possible, particularly in hot,
humid weather.
● Be sure the doors are closed
tightly. Before leaving the house or
retiring for the night, check to be
sure the doors haven’t been left
open accidentally.
● Store only those foods requiring
refrigeration in your refrigerator.
● Wipe moisture from bottles and
cartons before putting them. in the
refrigerator.
● Keep foods covered to reduce
moisture buildup inside the
refrigerator.
Q
If you turn the controls to the
coldest position for quick chilling
or freezing, be sure to turn them
back to regular settings.
●
Don’t overcrowd your refrigerator.
Overcrowding can require extra
electrical energy to keep everything
cool.

poor or questionable, get rid of it.
The food may be dangerous to eat.
“Even partial thawing and refreezing
reduce 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:’

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 codes
permit, a TEMPORARY
CONNEC~ON maybe made to a
properly grounded two-prong
wdl
outlet by use of a
~
listed adapter
(Fig. 2) available at most local
hardware stores.

INSURE PROPER GROUND
Fig.2
AND FIRM
~NNEHION
BEFORE USE
The
larger
slot in the adapter must be
aligned-with the larger
sl~t
in the
wdl
outlet to provide proper polarity
in the connection of the power cord.
CAUTION:
Attaching an adapter
ground terminal to
wdl
outlet cover
screw does not ground an appliance
unless cover screw is metal, and
not
insulated, and
wdl
outlet is
grounded through house wiring.
You should have circuit checked by
a qualified electrician to make” sure
the outlet is properly grounded.
When disconnecting the power
cord from the adapter, always
hold 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
bmk,
DO NOT USE the
appliance until a proper 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 a UL listed 3-wire grounding
type appliance extension cord
having a grounding type plug and
4
outlet and that the electrical rating
of the cord be 15 amperes
(minimum) and 120 volts.
The refrigerator should always
be plugged into
i~
own
individual electrical outlet—
(115 volt, 60 Hertz, or 100 volt, 50
Hertz, single phase AC). This is
recommended for best performance
and to prevent overloading house
wiring circuits, which could cause a
fire hazard from overheating wires.
Refrigerator 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 a floor strong
enough to support it fully loaded.

Water Supply to
Icemaker
You will need to connect your
icemaker to a cold water line. A
water supply kit containing copper
tubing, shut-off valve, fittings and
instructions is available at extra cost
from your dealer. There should be
sufficient tubing for the icemaker
from the cold water supply to allow
moving the refrigerator out from the
wdl
several feet (approximately 8
feet of 1/4” copper tubing in three
10-inch diameter coils).
Rollers
Adjustable rollers behind the base
grille enable you to move your
refrigerator away from the
wdl
for
cleaning. These rollers should be set
so the refrigerator rests
ftiy
on the
floor. To
as;ure
that the
doors
will
close automatically from a halfway -
open position, there is a built-in tilt
from the front to the back of the
cabinet. Side-by-side refrigerators
dso
have specially designed door
hinges that lift both doors
sfightly
when opened, allowing the force of
gravity to help close them securely.
To adjust rollers, remove the base
grille by grasping it at the bottom
and pulling it out.
—
~rn
the roller adjusting screws
clockwise to raise the refrigerator,
counterclockwise to lower it. Use
an adjustable wrench (3/8” hex
head bolt) or pliers.
When adjusting front rollers for
proper door closure, we recommend
the bottom front edge of the cabinet
be approximately 5/8” from the floor.
To replace base grille, align prongs -
on back of
grille
with clamps in
cabinet and-push forward
until
grille snaps into place.

Energy Saver System
You won’t find an “energy saver”
switch on this refrigerator.
Warm liquid from the refrigerator’s
condenser is automatically
circulated around the front edge of
the freezer compartment to help
keep moisture from forming on the
outside of the refrigerator during
humid weather.
Many refrigerators use special
electric heaters. This refrigerator
needs none. That’s why there is no
“energy saver” switch.. there’s no
need for it.

It is not necessary to defrost the
freezer or fresh food compartments.

Ice & Water Dispenser
—
Automatic Icemaker and
Ice & Water Dispenser
Your refrigerator has an automatic
icemaker and a dispenser that
dispenses water, ice cubes and
crushed ice through the freezer
compartment door. Here’s how
they work.
Water flows from the household
supply through a
(1)
dual solenoid valve to the
(2) water reservoir and to the
(3) automatic icemaker as needed.
Water is frozen in
the
(4) cube mold and ejected into the
(5) storage bin where a
motor-
powered auger moves cubes forward
into the dispensing unit. Cubed or
crushed ice, as selected, dispense
through chute in door when cradle
is pressed.
When the switch is moved to
CRUSHED, baffle in housing
channels cubes through the crusher
and crashed ice falls through chute
into glass.
Water from reservoir flows
through the
(6) tubing in the door and is
dispensed when the cradle is
pressed.
(7) A light switch turns the night
light in the dispenser on or off.
Important Fact
about
Your
Ice & Water Dispenser
●
Your icemaker will
prodttce
eight
cubes per
cycleapproximately
120
cubes in a 24-hour period—
depending on freezer compartment
~mpemture, room temperature,
number of door openings and other
use
conditions.
● Intermittent dispensing of ice
is normal. If
ice
flow interruption
is more than brief, ice clump(s)
may be the cause and should be
removed by following instructions
in this section.
s
Avoid
ovefilhng
glasses with ice
and using narrow or extra-tall
glasses. This can jam the chute or
cause
the
door in the chute to freeze
shut. Periodicdly open the freezer
compartment door and look down
into the chute. If ice is blocking the
chute, poke it through with a
wooden spoon.
*
To help keep bits of ice from
being sprayed beyond the glass,
place glass close to ice chute—but
not
so
close
that it blocks
outcoming
ice.
● Ice should not be dispensed into
thin glasses, fine china or delicate
crystal-they can crack or chip
from the combined pressure of your
hand pressing them against
the
cradle
and
ice dropping into the
container.
● Ice should be dispensed before
fi~ing glass with soda or other
beverage mixes. This will prevent
splashing which is annoying
md
which, if the splash reaches the ice
selector switch, could cause it to
stick or bind.
o
Beverages and foods should not
be quick-chilled in the ice storage
bin. Cans, bottles
or food packages
in the storage bin may cause
tie
icemaker to malfunction.
● Ice other
thm
that produced by
your icemaker should not be
added to the ice storage bin—it
may not crush or dispense
wefl.
Before Using Your
Icemaker and Dispenser
If you use your refrigerator before
the water connection is made, raise
the ice access door and make sure
the icemaker feeler arm is in the
OFF (up) position as shown below.

in
Depress water dispenser cradle for
about two minutes to remove
trapped air from the water line and
to fill water reservoir automatically.
Ice cube mold automatically fills
with water after cooling to freezing
temperatures. First cubes normally
freeze after several hours.
NOTE: With a newly-instiled
refrigerator, allow about 24 hours for
the freezer compartment to cool down -
to the proper ice-making temperature.
6

Once Your Icemaker and
Dispenser Are in Operation
Throw away the first few batches
of ice cubes (16 or 24 cubes). This
will flush away any impurities in
the water line. Do the same thing
after vacations or extended periods
when ice isn’t
used.
Discard the first six
glassfuls
of
water in the kitchen sink. This will
eliminate the slight “plastic” taste
temporarily imparted to the water
by the water reservoir.
Keep ice level to keep icemaker
productive. Cubes ejected into an
empty storage bin will pile up
close to the icemaker and push the
feeler arm up to the OFF position
prematurely when the bin is only
partially
fulI.
Open the ice access
door, reach in, level the cubes by
hand and
icemaking
will resume.
Keeping cubes distributed evenly
will allow the icemaker to produce
enough ice to fill the bin to its
maximum capacity.
Under certain rare circumstances,
ice cubes may be discolored,
usually appearing with a
~n-
bluish
hue.
The cause of this
unusual discoloration is
apparently
due
to a combination
of
factors
such
m
certain
characteristics of local waters,
household plumbing and
the
accurrndation
of copper s~ts in
an inactive water supply line
which feeds the icemaker.
Continued consumption of such
discolored ice
cubes
may be
injurious to
heahh.
If such
discoloration is observed, discard
the ice cubes md contact your
GE
Factov
Service Center or an
authorized Customer
Care@
Semicer.
To Dispense Ice and Water
● For ice, set selector switch to
CUBED or CRUSHED. For water,
simply position glass beneath the
word “WATER.”
● Grip glass or other container
gently near the rim and press rim
firmly against ice or water
dispenser cradle.
Caution: Never put fingers or
other objects into the ice
crusher discharge opening.
When Dispensing Ice...
Some crushed
ice
may be
dispensed even though
you
selected CUBED. This happens
occasionally when a few cubes
accidentally get channeled to the
crusher.
Sometimes a mound of snow will
form on the door in the ice chute.
This condition is normal, and
usually occurs when you have
dispensed crushed ice repeatedly.
The snow will eventually
evaporate.
When Dispensing Water...
The water system provides
approximately six successive
6-ounce glassfuls—after which
several hours must be allowed for
replenished water reservoir supply
to cool. You probably will not
drain all the water from the
reservoir on a single occasion.
The first glass of water dispensed
may be warmer than the
following ones. This is normal.
Dispensed water is cool, not iced.
For colder water, simply add
crushed ice or cubes before
dispensing water.

Ice &
Water
Dispenser
(continued)
To Stop Dispensing
Release pressure from cradle and
withdraw slowly to catch last bits
of ice or drops of water.
Some slight dripping may occur
following dispensing of crushed
ice or water. If excessive, the spill
should be wiped dry immediately.
Do not pour water in spill shelf
because it is not self-draining—
pour it in the kitchen sink. The
shelf and its grille should be
cleaned regularly according to
the Care and Cleaning section.
If Ice Clumps Form in
Storage Bin...
The
icemaker
ejects cubes in
groups of eight, and it is normal for
several cubes to be joined together.
However,
infrequent usage of ice
can cause ice clumps to form in
the storage bin, resulting in
temporary malfunction of the
dispenser mechanism.
If this happens:
●
Remove storage bin from freezer
compartment.
● Break up ice clumps with
fingertip pressure and discard
remaining clumps.
● Replace bin before remaining
cubes melt and fuse together.
To Remove Ice Cube
Storage Bin...
A
I
Lift the left corner to free the bin
from the
shelf,
and pull the bin
straight out while supporting it at
front and back.
To Replace Ice Cube
Storage Bin
Slide the bin back until the tab on
the bin locks into the slot in the
shelf.
If bin does not go all the way back,
remove it and rotate the drive
mechanism 1/4 turn. Then push bin
back again until the tab on the bin
locks into the slot in the shelf.
If Ice Is Not Used
Frequently...
“Old” ice cubes will become
cloudy and taste stale. Empty ice
storage bin periodically and wash
it in lukewarm water. Be sure to
allow storage bin to cool before
replacing
it+therwise
ice cubes
will stick to the metal auger.
Move
Icemaker
Feeler
Arm to OFF (up) Position
When...
● Home water supply is to be
turned off for several hours.
● Ice storage bin is to be removed
for a period of time.
● Going away on vacation, at
which time you should also turn
off the valve in the water supply
line to your refrigerator.
If This Is Your First
Icemaker...
You’ll hear occasional sounds that
may be unfamiliar. These are
normal
icemaking
sounds and are
not cause for concern.

Depatiment
of Agriculture
Meats, fish and poultry purchased
from the store vary in quality and
age; consequently, safe storage
time in your refrigerator will vary.
To store unfrozen meats, fish and
—
poultry:
●
Always remove store wrappings.
●
Rewrap in foil, film or wax paper
and refrigerate immediately.
To store cheese, wrap well with
wax paper or aluminum foil, or put
in a plastic bag.
● Carefully wrap to expel air and
help prevent mold.
● Store pre-packaged cheese in its
own wrapping if you wish.
To store vegetables, use the
vegetable drawers—they’ve
been
designed to preserve the natural
moisture and freshness of produce.
● Covering vegetables with a moist
towel helps maintain crispness.
● As a further aid to freshness, pre-
packaged vegetables can be stored
in their original wrapping.
Note: Special fresh
fo{~d
compartment drawers make it
unnecessary
to
wrap
certain
,foods
which they
‘ve
been
desig~zed
to
preserve. These drawers
are
described in the Food-Saver
S>stem
section.
To store ice cream—Fine-quality
ice cream, with high cream
content, will normally require
slightly lower temperatures than
more “airy” already-packaged
brands with low cream content.
● It will be necessary to
experiment to determine the
freezer compartment location and
temperature control setting to keep
your ice cream at the right serving
temperature.
● The rear of the freezer
compartment is slightly colder
than the front.
Tips on freezing foods
There are three essential
requirements for efficient home
freezing.
1. Initial quality. Freeze only
top-
quality foods. Freezing retains
quality and flavor; it cannot
improve quality.
2.
Speed. The quicker fruits and
vegetables are frozen after picking,
the
better
the
frozen product will
be. You’ll save time, too, with less
culling and sorting to do.
3. Proper packaging. Use food
wraps designed especially for
freezing; they’re readily available
at most food stores.
To freeze meat, fish and poultry,
wrap well in freezer-weight foil (or
other heavy-duty wrapping
material) forming it carefully to
the shape of the contents,
This
expels air. Fold and crimp ends of
the package to provide a good,
lasting seal.
Don’t refreeze meat that has
completely thawed; meat, whether
raw or cooked, can be frozen
successfully only once.
Limit freezing of fresh (unfrozen)
meats or seafoods to 29 pounds at
a time.
For convenience...
● Store like things together. This
saves both time and electricity
because you can find foods faster.
● Place the oldest items up front so
they can be used up promptly.
● Use shelves on the door for most
often used sauces and condiments.
To save money in energy
and food costs
● Cover moist foods with tight lids,
plastic film or foil.
● Leaf vegetables and fruits placed
in drawers will
last
longer when
stored in closed plastic containers
or wrapped in plastic film.
● Do not overload your fresh food
or freezer compartment with a lot
of warm food at once.
● Open the door the fewest times
possible to save electrical energy.
●
When going out of town
for several days, leave as few
perishables as possible in the
refrigerator. Move the
icemaker
feeler arm to the OFF (up) position
and shut off water to the refrigerator.

Moist ‘n Fresh Drawer
The top drawer is designed to
keep unwrapped foods fresh by
retaining the natural moisture
content of foods such as:
● Artichokes ● Cherries ● Plums
● Asparagus ● Corn ● Radishes
● Beets, topped ● Currants ● Rhubarb
● Blueberries ● Greens, leafy ● Spinach
● Carrots ● Lettuce ● Tomatoes,
● Celery ● Parsley ripe
● Peas, green
As in any refrigerated storage area,
it is recommended that odorous
foods be stored wrapped—foods
such
as:
● Broccoli ● Cabbage ● Parsnips
● Brussels ● Cauliflower ● Turnips
Sprouts ● Green Onions
Storage time will depend upon the
type of food and its condition
when placed in the drawer.
Excess water which may accumulate
in the bottom of the Moist ‘n Fresh
drawer should be poured out and the
drawer wiped dry.
The Moist ‘n Fresh drawer is
partially sealed by gaskets attached
to the cover at the front and back
edges.
Alway.~

it in
this
cover and push the drawer all the
way in.
Convertible Meat Keeper
The Convertible Meat Pan drawer
has its own cold air duct to allow a
stream of cold air from the freezer
compartment to
flow
around the
drawer.
The variable temperature control
regulates the air
flow
from the
freezer compartment.
Drawer Removal
Drawers will stop before coming
all the way out of refrigerator to
help prevent spilling onto
floor.
Drawers can easily be removed by
tilting up slightly and pulling past
“stop” location.
To remove drawers when the
fresh food compartment door
cannot be opened fully:
1. Remove food from the shelf
above the Moist ‘n Fresh drawer
and take out the shelf. Take food
off the glass cover and out of
drawer.
2. Remove the
flexlble
gasket at
the rear of the Moist ‘n Fresh
drawer. Lift each end straight up
until the slots on the gasket are
free of the drawer support tabs.
Set control lever to MEAT—the
coldest setting—to store fresh
meats. If lever is left in meat
position for a long period of time,
some frost may form
on
the inside
of the drawer.
3. Pull the drawer part-way out.
Reach in, push the rear of the glass
up and, at the same time, push it
back until it clears the front corner
retainers.
4.

How to Rearrange Your
Shelves
Shelves
in the fresh food and
freezer compartments are
adjustable, enabling you to make
efficient shelf arrangements to fit
your family’s food storage needs.
Tempered Glass Shelves in
Fresh Food Compartment
To remove shelves: Tilt the shelf
up at front, then lift it up and out of
the tracks on the rear wall of the
refrigerator.

To relocate shelves: Select desired
shelf height. With shelf front raised
slightly, engage the top lugs in the
tracks at the rear of the cabinet.
Then lower the front of the shelf
until it locks into position.
Removable Wine Rack
(on models so equipped)
The wine rack is designed to hold
a bottle on its side and will fit on
any shelf.
To relocate the wine rack:
Pull wine rack straight out. Then
position its lip over either edge of
the shelf you want to suspend it
from and push it all the way in.
Porta-Bins
on Fresh Food
Compartment Door
Adjustable
Porta-Bins
can easily
be carried from the refrigerator to
your work area.
Snuggers hold smaller items
securely in the bin to help prevent
tipping, spilling and sliding.
To remove: Lift
Porta-Bin
straight
up until mounting hooks
disengage.
To replace or relocate: Select
desired shelf height, engage
Porta-
Bin’s hook in slots on the tracks of
the door, and push in.
Porta-Bin
will lock in place.
Multi-Position Shelves in
Freezer Compartment
Shelf supports at various levels in
the freezer compartment let you
reposition the shelves from time to
time to better accommodate your
variable inventory of frozen foods.
To reposition shelves:
1.
While pressing
tabs on shelf
supports on right
wall,
lift shelf out
of grooves in
supports.
2. Pull shelf
sideways until
shelf rods come
out of holes on
left wall.
,
—
3. Select desired
shelf height and
insert shelf rods
into holes on left
wall. If shelf
supports at
desired level on right wall have
tabs, lower shelf into grooves on
support while pressing tabs. Be
sure shelf wire is fully inserted into
grooves.
If shelf supports at desired level
on right wall do not have tabs,
merely lower shelf into place on
supports.
Deep Door Shelves in
Freezer Compartment
Detachable shelf extenders deepen
and enclose three fixed door
shelves, providing more storage
room and greater storage
flexibility.
To remove, lift the shelf extender
straight up until the mounting
hooks come out of the slots in the
door.
To replace, lineup the hooks with –
the slots in the door then push in
and down.

Care and Cleating
Cleaning-Ouhide
The water and ice dispenser
spill shelf should be wiped dry
immediately to prevent spotting.
Water left on the shelf may leave
deposits that you can remove by
soaking in undiluted vinegar.
You can also use a paste of
non-
precipitating water softener (such
as
Calgon
brand) and water, or one
teaspoon of citric acid powder per
pint of hot tap water. Soak until the
deposit disappears or becomes
loose enough to rinse away.
Usually 30 minutes soaking time is
adequate. Avoid using wax on the
spill shelf and trim.
The door handles and trim can
be cleaned with a 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 damage 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. WR92X0216) is
available from GE Appliance Parts
Marts.
Cleaning-Inside
inside the fresh food and freezer
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 gaskets, meat and
vegetable drawers, ice storage bin
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 freezer will absorb
stale
freezer odors.
Do not wash any plastic parts
from your refrigerator in your
automatic dishwasher.
Drain opening in freezer
compartment. During yearly
cleaning, remove bottom freezer
basket and flush a solution of
baking
soda+ne
teaspoon and
two cups of hot (not boiling)
water—through the drain line with
the help of a meat baster. This will
help eliminate odor and reduce the
likelihood of a clogged drain line.
If drain becomes
\
clogged, use a
meat baster and
baking-soda-and-
water solution to
force the clog
through the
drain line.
Behind Refrigerator
Care
should be taken in moving
your refrigerator away from the
wall. All types of floor coverings
can be damaged, particularly
cushioned coverings and those
with embossed surfaces. Pull the
refrigerator straight out and return
it to position by pushing it straight
in. Moving your refrigerator in a
side direction may result in
damage to your floor covering
or refrigerator.
Condenser
For most efficient operation,
remove the base grille (see the
Installation Requirements section)
and either sweep away or vacuum
up dust that is readily accessible.
For best results, use a brush
specially designed for this purpose.
It is available at most appliance
parts stores. This easy cleaning
operation should be done at least
once a year.

plug refrigerator back in.
When you goon
vacation
For extended vacations or
absences, shut off power to
refrigerator, turn the numbered
control to OFF, clean interior with
baking soda solution of one
tablespoon of soda to one quart of
water. Wipe dry. To prevent odors,
leave open box of soda in
refrigerator. Leave doors open.
For shorter vacations, remove
perishable foods and leave controls
at regular settings. However, if
room temperature is expected to
drop below
60°F.,
follow same
instructions as for extended
vacations.
Move icemaker feeler arm to OFF
(up) position and be sure to shut
off water supply to the refrigerator.
When you move
Disconnect power cord from wall
outlet, remove all food and clean
and dry the interior.
Secure all loose items such as
grille, shelves and storage pans by
taping them securely in place to
prevent damage.
Be sure refrigerator stays in
upright position
during actual
moving and in van. Refrigerator
must be secured in van to prevent
movement. Protect outside of
refrigerator with blanket.
Water
filter
accessory
The perfect companion to
your automatic
icemaker—
a water filter
Your ice cubes can 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 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.
The water filter is an option at
extra cost and is available from
your GE dealer. Specify
WR97X0214.
It has complete
installation instructions and installs

● If dishes vibrate on shelves, try moving
them,
Slight vibration is normal.
● Normal air flow cooling motor. In the refrigeration process, it is normal that
heat be expelled in the area under the refrigerator. Some floor coverings will discolor
at these normal and safe operating temperatures. Your floor covering supplier should
be consulted if you object to this discoloration.
