IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
—
Do not place fingers or hands on the
automatic icemaking mechanism while
the refrigerator is plugged in.
w WARNING
When using
this appliance, always exercise basic safety
precautions, including the following:
• Keep fingers out of the “pinch point” areas:
clearances between the doors and between
the doors and cabinet are necessarily small.
Be careful closing doors when children are
in the area.
• Use this appliance only for its intended
purpose as described in this Owner’s
Manual.
• This refrigerator must be properly installed in
accordance with the Installation Instructions
before it is used.
• Unplug your refrigerator before cleaning
and making repairs. NOTE: We strongly
recommend that any servicing be performed
by a qualified individual.
• Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang
on the shelves in the refrigerator. They could
damage the refrigerator and seriously injure
themselves.
• 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.)
• Do not touch the cold surfaces in the freezer
compartment when hands are damp or wet.
Skin may adhere to these extremely cold
surfaces.
NOTE: Turning control to OFF does not
remove power to the light circuit.
• Do not store or use gasoline or other
flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity
of this or any other appliance.
• Do not refreeze frozen foods which have
thawed completely.
• In refrigerators with automatic icemakers,
avoid contact with moving parts of the ejector
mechanism, or with the heating element
located on the bottom of the icemaker.
• Always clean the CustomCool™ Tray after
thawing food.
w DANGER: RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT

w AVERTISSEMENT :
Lorsque vous utilisez le réfrigérateur, observez
toujours certaines précautions de base,
notamment :
• Éloignez les doigts des parties du
réfrigérateur où l’on peut facilement se
pincer : les espaces entre les portes et entre
les portes et les placards sont toujours étroits.
Soyez prudent lorsque vous fermez les portes
de l’appareil en présence des enfants.
• N’utilisez le réfrigérateur que pour son usage
prévu, comme décrit dans le présent manuel.
• Installez le réfrigérateur conformément aux
directives d’installation avant de l’utiliser.
• Ne laissez pas les enfants grimper, s’asseoir,
se tenir debout ni se pendre aux clayettes
du réfrigérateur. Ils pourraient endommager
le réfrigérateur et se blesser gravement.
• Débranchez votre réfrigérateur avant
de le nettoyer et de le réparer.
REMARQUE : Nous vous recommandons
vivement de confier toute réparation à un
technicien qualifié.
• Une fois le réfrigérateur en marche, ne
touchez pas les surfaces froides du
congélateur, surtout si vous avez les mains
humides ou mouillées : la peau risque
d’adhérer à ces surfaces très froides.
• Avant de remplacer une ampoule grillée,
le réfrigérateur doit être débranché afin
d’éviter tout contact avec un fil sous tension.
(Une ampoule grillée peut se briser pendant
l’opération). REMARQUE : Lorsque vous
placez la commande sur éteint, l’alimentation
électrique de l’ampoule n’est pas coupée.
• N’entreposez et n’utilisez pas d’essence ou
autres vapeurs et liquides inflammables à
proximité de cet appareil ou de tout autre
appareil électroménager.
• Ne faites PAS recongeler des aliments
surgelés qui ont complètement dégelé.
• Pour les réfrigérateurs dotés d’une machine
à glaçons automatique, évitez le contact
avec les pièces mobiles du mécanisme
éjecteur, ou avec l’élément chauffant situé à
la partie inférieure de la machine à glaçons.
• Nettoyez toujours le contenant CustomCool™
après avoir dégelé les aliments.
w DANGER: RISQUES POUR LES ENFANTS
Les enfants pris au piège ou morts d’asphyxie
sont toujours d’actualité. Les appareils de
réfrigération abandonés sont toujours aussi
dangereux, même si on n’attend que “quelque
jours” pour s’en débarasser. Si vous ne gardez
pas votre ancien appareil, veuillez suivre les
directives ci-dessous afin de prévenir les
accidents.
Avant de vous débarasser de votre vieux
appareil de réfrigération :
• Démontez les portes.
• Laissez les clayettes en place afin d’empêcher
les enfants de grimper à l’intérieur.
RÉFRIGÉRANTS
Tous les appareils de réfrigération contiennent
des refrigerants qui, conformément aux lois
fédérales, doivent être enlevés avant toute
élimination de l’appareil.
Si vous vous débarrassez de vieux appareils de
réfrigération, vérifiez, auprès de la société qui
s’occupe de leur élimination, ce que vous
devez faire.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove
This provides the best performance and also
prevents overloading house wiring circuits which
could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires.
the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
For personal safety, this appliance must be
properly grounded.
Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the
power cord. Always grip plug firmly and pull
straight out from the outlet.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped
with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates
with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet
to minimize the possibility of electric shock
hazard from this appliance.
Repair or replace immediately all power 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 end.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by
a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet
is properly grounded.
When moving the refrigerator away from the
wall, be careful not to roll over or damage the
power cord.
Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is
encountered, it is your personal responsibility
and obligation to have it replaced with a
properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
The refrigerator should always be plugged into
its own individual electrical outlet which has
a voltage rating that matches the rating plate.
USE OF ADAPTER PLUGS
(Adapter plugs not permitted in Canada)
Because of potential safety hazards under certain
conditions, we strongly recommend against the
use of an adapter plug.
If the adapter ground terminal breaks, DO NOT
USE the appliance until a proper ground has been
established.
However, if you must use an adapter, where local
codes permit, a temporary connection may be
made to a properly grounded 2-prong wall outlet
by use of a UL-listed adapter available at most
local hardware stores.
Attaching the adapter ground terminal to a wall
outlet cover screw does not ground the appliance
unless the cover screw is metal, and not insulated,
and the wall outlet is grounded through the house
wiring. You should have the circuit checked by
a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is
properly grounded.
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.
Use of an adapter plug will increase the clearance
needed for the back of the appliance.
When disconnecting the power cord from the
adapter, always hold the adapter in place with one
hand while pulling the power cord plug with the
other hand. If this is not done, the adapter ground
terminal is very likely to break with repeated use.
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 must 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 outlet and that the
electrical rating of the cord be 15 amperes
(minimum) and 120 volts.

TurboCool™
Stainless Steel Refrigerator
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 8 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.
How it works
1 Press TurboCool. The refrigerator
temperature display will show TC.
NOTES:
How to use
• The refrigerator temperature cannot be
changed during TurboCool.
2 After TurboCool is complete,
the refrigerator compartment
will return to the original setting.
• 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.

• Do not add ice from trays or bags to
the storage drawer. It may not crush or
dispense well.
• To keep dispensed ice from missing the glass,
put the glass close to, but not touching, the
dispenser opening.
Important
facts
about
• Avoid overfilling glass with ice and use of
narrow glasses. Backed-up ice can jam the
chute or cause the door in the chute to
freeze shut. If ice is blocking the chute,
poke it through with a wooden spoon.
• Some crushed ice may be dispensed even
though you selected CUBED ICE. This
happens occasionally when a few cubes
accidentally get directed to the crusher.

• Sometimes a small 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.

Care and Cleaning
Stainless Steel Refrigerator
The dispenser drip
area, beneath the
grille, should be
wiped dry. Water
left in this area
may leave deposits. Remove the deposits by
adding undiluted vinegar to the well. Soak until
the deposits disappear or become loose enough
to rinse away.
The stainless steel panels and handles can be
cleaned with a commercially available stainless
steel cleaner such as Stainless Steel Magic™.
Cleaning
the outside
Dispenser drip area.
Stainless Steel Magic is available at Ace, True
Value, Servistar, HWI and other leading stores.
It is also available through GE Parts and
Accessories, 800.626.2002. Order part number
WX10X15.
Do not use appliance wax or polish on the
stainless steel.
The dispenser cradle. Before cleaning, lock
the dispenser by pressing and holding the
LOCK CONTROL pad for 3 seconds.
Clean with warm water and baking soda
solution—about a tablespoon (15 ml) of
baking soda to a quart (1 liter) of water.
Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry.
Use of any cleaning solution other than that
which is recommended, especially those that
contain petroleum distillates, can crack or
damage the interior of the refrigerator.
To help prevent odors, leave an open box of
baking soda in the fresh food and freezer
compartments.
Cleaning
the inside
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.
Avoid cleaning cold glass shelves with hot water
because the extreme temperature difference
may cause them to break. Handle glass shelves
carefully. Bumping tempered glass can cause
it to shatter.
Use warm water and baking soda solution—
about a tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda to
a quart (1 liter) of water. This both cleans and
neutralizes odors. Rinse and wipe dry.
Do not wash any plastic refrigerator parts in
the dishwasher.
20
Be careful when moving the refrigerator away
from the wall. All types of floor coverings can
be damaged, particularly cushioned coverings
and those with embossed surfaces.
When pushing the refrigerator back, make sure
you don’t roll over the power cord or icemaker
supply line.
Behind the
refrigerator
Pull the refrigerator straight out and return it
to position by pushing it straight in. Moving the
refrigerator in a side direction may result in
damage to the floor covering or refrigerator.
For long vacations or absences, remove food
and unplug the refrigerator. Clean the interior
with a baking soda solution of one tablespoon
(15 ml) of baking soda to one quart (1 liter)
of water. Leave the doors open.
If the temperature can drop below freezing,
have a qualified servicer drain the water supply
system to prevent serious property damage due
to flooding.
Preparing
for vacation
Set the icemaker power switch to the O (off)
position and shut off the water supply to
the refrigerator.
Secure all loose items such as shelves and
drawers by taping them securely in place
to prevent damage.
Be sure the refrigerator stays in an upright
position during moving.
Preparing
to move
When using a hand truck to move the
refrigerator, do not rest the front or back
of the refrigerator against the hand truck.
This could damage the refrigerator. Handle
only from the sides of the refrigerator.

The Problem Solver
Stainless Steel Refrigerator
Newer refrigerators sound different from older refrigerators. Modern refrigerators have more features
and use newer technology.
Normal
operating
sounds
Do you hear what I hear? These sounds are normal.
HUMMM...
WHOOSH...
• The new high efficiency compressor may run
faster and longer than your old refrigerator
and you may hear a high-pitched hum or
pulsating sound while it is operating.
• You may hear the fans spinning at high
speeds. This happens when the refrigerator
is first plugged in, when the doors are
opened frequently or when a large amount
of food is added to the refrigerator or
freezer compartments. The fans are helping
to maintain the correct temperatures.
• Sometimes the refrigerator runs for an
extended period, especially when the doors
are opened frequently. This means that the
Frost Guard™ feature is working to prevent
freezer burn and improve food preservation.
• If either door is open for over 3 minutes, you
may hear the fans come on in order to cool
the light bulbs.
• You may hear a whooshing sound when the
doors close. This is due to pressure
equalizing within the refrigerator.
• The fans change speeds in order to provide
optimal cooling and energy savings.
• You may hear the fans running after
selecting one of the CustomCool™ settings.
CLICKS, POPS,
CRACKS and CHIRPS
WATER SOUNDS
• You may hear cracking or popping sounds
when the refrigerator is first plugged in.
This happens as the refrigerator cools to
the correct temperature.
• The flow of refrigerant through the freezer
cooling coils may make a gurgling noise like
boiling water.
• Electronic dampers click open and closed to
provide optimal cooling and energy savings.
• Water dropping on the defrost heater can
cause a sizzling, popping or buzzing sound
during the defrost cycle.
• The compressor may cause a clicking or
chirping sound when attempting to restart
(this could take up to 5 minutes).
• A water dripping noise may occur during the
defrost cycle as ice melts from the evaporator
and flows into the drain pan.
• The electronic control board may cause
a clicking sound when relays activate to
control refrigerator components.
• Closing the door may cause a gurgling sound
due to pressure equalization.
• Expansion and contraction of cooling coils
during and after defrost can cause a cracking
or popping sound.
For additional information on normal
icemaker and dispenser operating
sounds, see the Automatic Icemaker
and Ice and Water Dispenser sections.
• On models with an icemaker, after an
icemaking cycle, you may hear the ice cubes
dropping into the ice bucket.
