GE Profile TFK28PFDAA - Read all instructions before using this appliance. - 4

- If your old refrigerator is still around the house but not in use, be sure to remove the doors. This will reduce the possibility of danger to children.

- After your refrigerator is in operation, do not touch the cold surfaces in the freezer compartment, particularly when hands are damp or wet. Skin may adhere to these extremely cold surfaces.

  • Do not place fingers or hands on the automatic ice-making mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged in. This will prevent contact with the moving parts of the ejector mechanism, or with the heating element that releases the cubes.
  • Do not allow anyone to climb, sit, stand or hang on the Refreshment Center Compartment door. They could damage the refrigerator and maybe even tip it over, causing severe personal injury.
  • Unplug your refrigerator before cleaning and making repairs. NOTE: We strongly recommend that any servicing be performed by a qualified individual.
  • Before replacing a burned-out light bulb, unplug the refrigerator or turn off power at the circuit breaker or fuse box in order to avoid contact with a live wire filament. (A burned-out light bulb may break when being replaced.) NOTE: Turning control to “O” position 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.

Mains lead replacement

If the mains lead on your refrigerator needs replacing at any time, it must be replaced by a special lead which is obtainable from your local dealer. A charge will be made for the replacement of the mains lead if you have damaged the lead.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Set the Temperature Controls (appearance may vary)

Two controls let you regulate the temperature in the fresh food and freezer compartments.

At first, set both the fresh food control and the freezer control to "5."

Allow 24 hours for the temperature to stabilize, whether you are setting the controls for the first time or adjusting them later. Then, if you want colder or warmer temperatures in either compartment, adjust the controls one step at a time.

NOTE: Moving the freezer control to the “O” position turns off cooling in both compartments—fresh food and freezer—but does not shut off power to the refrigerator.

GE Profile TFK28PFDAA - Set the Temperature Controls (appearance may vary) - 1

Ambient Room Temperature Limits How to Test Temperatures

This refrigerator is designed to operate in ambient temperatures specified by its Temperature Class which is marked on the rating plate.

Temperature Symbol Ambient ClassTemperature Maximum Minimum
Extended-Temperate SN 32°C 10°C
TemperateN32°C16°C
SubtropicalST38°C18°C
TropicalT43°C18°C

NOTE: Internal temperature may be affected by such factors as the location of the refrigerator, ambient temperature and frequency of door openings. Adjust temperature controls as required to compensate for these factors.

Use the milk test for the fresh food compartment. Place a container of 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.

Use the ice cream test for the freezer compartment. Place a container of ice cream in the center of the freezer compartment. Check it after a day. If it's too hard or too soft, adjust the temperature controls.

Always allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to reach the temperature you set.

Refrigerator Doors

The refrigerator doors may feel different than the ones you are used to. The special door opening/closing feature makes sure the doors close all the way and are securely sealed.

When opening and closing the door you will notice a "stop" position. If the door is opened past this "stop" point, the door will remain open to allow you to load and unload food more easily. When the door is only partially open it will automatically close.

The resistance you feel at the "stop" position will be reduced as the door is loaded with food.

GE Profile TFK28PFDAA - Refrigerator Doors - 1

How to Set the Door Alarm Why the Warm Temperature Light Glows

You don't have to set the visual alarm.

As long as either door is open, this pad flashes.

When the Door Alarm pad is glowing, the beeper alarm is set. Touch the pad to turn it on or off.

If either door is open for more than 30 seconds, the control beeps.

The light goes out and the beeping stops when you close the door.

GE Profile TFK28PFDAA - How to Set the Door Alarm Why the Warm Temperature Light Glows - 1

GE Profile TFK28PFDAA - How to Set the Door Alarm Why the Warm Temperature Light Glows - 2

At first, it's probably because your newly installed refrigerator hasn't completely cooled down yet. Wait a few hours for it to cool, and then the light will go out.

From then on, the pad will glow whenever temperatures inside get too high for proper food storage. If this happens, open the doors only when absolutely necessary, and close them as quickly as possible.

GE Profile TFK28PFDAA - How to Set the Door Alarm Why the Warm Temperature Light Glows - 3

As soon as inside temperatures return to normal, the light goes out. If the Warm Temperature light reappears and stays on for longer than 4 hours, call for service.

How the System Works

The system alerts you when something starts to go wrong.

If a diagnostic code appears on the display, something needs special attention. The display code flashes until you erase it. The first 6 flashes are accompanied by beeps.

If more than one coded function requires attention at the same time, the most important one will be displayed first.

This pad evaluates all other coded functions. If the √ display is lit during the displaying of a code, that function is operating properly. This pad is lighted except when a failure has been detected.

GE Profile TFK28PFDAA - How the System Works - 1

This pad has two functions:

  1. It reviews the diagnostic codes.

  2. It erases two codes—PF and CI. The dE and FF codes can only be erased after the condition that caused the code to flash has been corrected.

GE Profile TFK28PFDAA - How the System Works - 2

AUTOMATIC ICEMAKER

GE Profile TFK28PFDAA - AUTOMATIC ICEMAKER - 1

A newly-installed refrigerator may take up to 24 hours to begin making ice.

How The Icemaker Works

Your icemaker will produce 8 cubes per cycle—approximately 120 cubes in a 24-hour period—depending on freezer compartment temperature, room temperature, number of door openings and other use conditions.

If you use your refrigerator before the water connection is made, make sure the icemaker feeler arm is in the ①p) position. When the water supply has been connected to the icemaker, move the feeler arm to (down) position.

GE Profile TFK28PFDAA - How The Icemaker Works - 1

text_image Feeler arm in ○ (up) position stops icemaking

GE Profile TFK28PFDAA - How The Icemaker Works - 2

text_image Feeler arm in 1 (down) position begins icemaking

The icemaker will fill with water when it cools to freezing. NOTE: With a newly-installed refrigerator, allow about 24 hours for the freezer compartment to get cold enough to make ice.

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.

To make sure the bin fills with ice, level the cubes occasionally. When cubes fall into the bin they may pile up close to the icemaker and push the feeler arm to the position before the bin gets full. Keeping the cubes level allows the icemaker to fill the bin.

The icemaker ejects cubes in groups of 8, and it is normal for several cubes to be joined together.

Move Feeler Arm to (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.
- Moving the freezer control to the "O" position.

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.

If Ice Is Not Used Often...

"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—otherwise ice cubes may stick to other parts of the icemaker.

Crushed Ice Water

  • Some crushed ice may be dispensed even though you selected 📋. This happens occasionally when a few cubes 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.
  • Sometimes crushed ice will spray beyond the glass. To avoid this, hold the glass up close to the chute.

GE Profile TFK28PFDAA - Crushed Ice Water - 1

  • On models with a water dispenser, if no water is dispensed when the refrigerator is first installed, there may be air in the water line system. Press the dispenser pad for at least two minutes to remove trapped air from the water line and to fill the water system.
  • 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.

CAUTION: Never put fingers or other objects into the dispenser opening.

Important Facts About Your Dispenser

  • 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.
  • Your icemaker will produce 8 cubes per cycle—approximately 120 cubes in a 24-hour period—depending on freezer compartment temperature, 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 following instructions in this section.
  • Avoid over-filling 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. Periodically 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 the glass close to the ice chute—but not so close that it blocks out-coming ice.

  • Add ice before adding beverage to prevent splashing.
  • Beverages and foods should not be quick-chilled in the ice storage bin. Cans, bottles or food packages in the storage bin may cause the icemaker or auger to jam.
  • Do not add ice from trays or bags to the storage bin. It may not crush or dispense well.

CAUTION: Some products such as water ices should not be consumed too cold.

text_image Diagram showing a three-tier food storage unit with icons for ingredients like vegetables, meat, and fish.

(on some models)

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 drawer should be poured out and the drawer wiped dry. The drawer is partially sealed by gaskets. Always push the drawer all the way in. As in any refrigerated storage area, it is recommended that odorous foods be stored wrapped.

Convertible Drawer (on some models)

Refrigerator foods can be stored at colder temperatures by using the convertible drawer.

The convertible 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.

Set the control lever up to convert the drawer to normal refrigerator temperature and provide extra vegetable storage space. The cold air duct is closed.

Push the control lever down to open the cold air duct and make the convertible drawer colder. The amount of freezer air allowed in can be varied by adjusting the control lever between the normal and coldest setting.

Loading the Freezer Compartment

Load so that at least 15 mm of space remains clear between stacks of packages and 15 mm to 25 mm of space between the top of any stack and any shelf or basket above it. Packages may hang over the front of shelves but must remain 15 mm from doors.

  • Food to be frozen must not be placed in direct contact with food in storage. If food is to be frozen every day, it may be necessary to reduce the quantity to be frozen.
  • If a quantity of food needs to be frozen set the freezer control to its coldest setting. After the food is frozen reset the freezer control to its initial position.
  • Food is most quickly frozen on the middle three shelves of the freezer compartment and most slowly in the freezer door shelves.

Freezer Baskets (on some models)

Wire slide-out freezer baskets can be pulled out for easy access to frozen foods.

WARNING: Poor performance may occur if freezer baskets are not used. Storage of items in the freezer without using baskets may result in poor temperature performance due to restrictions of air flow within the freezer compartment.

GE Profile TFK28PFDAA - Freezer Baskets (on some models) - 1

natural_image Technical line drawing of a structural joint or bracket (no text or symbols)
  • Do not store commercially quick-frozen food longer than the time recommended by the food manufacturers.
  • If the power to the appliance is shut off for an extended time or if the refrigerating system fails, do not open the doors unless absolutely necessary. When it is necessary, close them as quickly as possible so the frozen food will stay frozen as long as possible.
  • The freezer door storage shelves marked with a two-star label are only appropriate for the storage of previously frozen food.

Effervescent drinks should not be stored in the freezer compartment.

Quick-Serve System™ (on some models)

Cooking-serving-storage dishes with durable lids fit into a space saving under-the-shelf rack.

GE Profile TFK28PFDAA - Quick-Serve System™ (on some models) - 1

Dishes can be removed from and returned to the rack as needed, and the rack (and shelf to which it is attached) can be relocated anywhere in the fresh food compartment.

GE Profile TFK28PFDAA - Quick-Serve System™ (on some models) - 2

Dishes and lids are safe for use in microwave ovens, refrigerators, freezers, and are dishwasher-safe. The dishes should not be used for cooking high-fat foods, such as bacon, and high-sugar foods, such as candy and syrup. The high temperatures of the fat and sugar can cause bubbles to form on the inside of the dish.

CAUTION: Dishes and lids are not designed for use on the range top, broiler or in the regular oven. Such use can be hazardous.

CARE AND CLEANING

Cleaning—Outside

Refreshment Center Compartment door—outside. It's important that you use only window cleaner without ammonia or a damp cloth to clean the glass and trim. Avoid using wax on the Refreshment Center door.

The dispenser well, beneath the grille, should be wiped dry. Water left in the well 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 dispenser pad can be cleaned by using a warm water and baking soda solution—about 15 ml of baking soda to one liter of water. Rinse thoroughly with water and wipe dry.

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 erode 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.

Cleaning the Decorator Door Panels

Clean these panels using an anti-static cleaner or a mild detergent and water. (Look for anti-static cleaner in electronic or computer departments.) Rinse thoroughly and blot dry with a clean, damp cloth or chamois. Do not use paper towels to wash or dry the panels. Do not use cleaners that contain solvents, such as ammonia, because they can damage the panels.

Shallow scratches and abrasions can be corrected with a good grade of hard automobile paste wax. The wax will fill in any minor surface scratches and will help to maintain the luster of the panels. Apply the wax sparingly and buff lightly with a clean, soft cloth using a circular motion. Do not use a cleanser/wax combination.

Cleaning—Inside Under Refrigerator

Refreshment Center Compartment door—inside. Wipe up spills right away. Use 15 ml of baking soda in one liter of water to clean the inside door surface, Refreshment Center bin and inside access door. Rinse, wipe dry.

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 15 ml of baking soda to one liter of water. This both cleans and neutralizes odors. Rinse thoroughly with water and wipe dry.

Other parts of the refrigerator—including door magnets, meat and vegetable drawers, ice storage bin and all plastic parts—can be cleaned the same way.

Avoid cleaning cold glass shelves with hot water because the extreme temperature difference may cause them to break.

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 3 months. An open box of baking soda in the freezer will absorb stale freezer odors.

Door magnets

Do not wash any plastic parts from your refrigerator in your automatic dishwasher.

Quick-Serve™ dishes and lids can be cleaned in an automatic dishwasher or by hand with liquid dishwashing detergent and water. You can remove stains by soaking them in a bleach and water solution using one part chlorine bleach to three parts water. (Stubborn stains may require soaking.) Use a plastic scouring pad to remove burned-on soil. Do not use cleansing powders or other abrasive cleaners.

For most efficient operation, you need to keep the area under the refrigerator clean. Remove the base grille and either sweep away or vacuum up dust that is readily accessible on the condenser coils.

To remove the base grille, open both doors, grasp the bottom of the grille and pull it out.

To replace the base grille, line up the clips on the back of the grille with the openings in the baseplate and push the grille forward until it snaps into place.

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.

When pushing the refrigerator back, make sure you don't roll over the power cord or icemaker supply line.

Drawer and Cover Removal

Drawers will stop before coming all the way out of the refrigerator to help prevent contents from spilling onto the floor. Drawers can easily be removed by tilting up slightly and pulling past the "stop" location.

Remove the door bins from the fresh food door before removing the drawer.

To remove the shelf above the top drawer, first remove the top drawer and any food on the shelf. Then tilt the shelf up at the front and lift it up and out of the tracks.

To replace the shelf, raise the shelf front slightly and place the top hooks in the lowest large track slots. Then lower the front of the shelf until it is level.

PREPARATION

Preparing for Vacation Preparing to Move

For extended vacations or absences, shut off the power to the refrigerator, move the control to the "O" position, and clean the interior with a baking soda solution of 15 ml of baking soda to 1 liter of water. Wipe dry. To prevent odors, leave an open box of baking soda in the refrigerator. Leave doors open.

Move icemaker feeler arm to ①p) position, which stops icemaking, and be sure to shut off water supply to the refrigerator.

For shorter vacations, remove perishable foods and leave controls at regular settings. However, if room temperature is expected to drop below 16^ C, follow the same instructions as for extended vacations.

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.

Refrigerator Location Water Supply to Icemaker

Install it on a floor strong enough to support a fully loaded refrigerator.

Clearances

Allow the following clearances for ease of installation, proper air circulation, plumbing and electrical connections.

24 Model 28 Model 30 Model

Sides 3 mm 3 mm 3 mm

Top 25 mm 3 mm 3 mm

Back 13 mm 13 mm 13 mm

[If built-in, allow 22 mm for hinge covers.]

If the refrigerator is against a wall on either side, allow 19 mm for freezer door clearance and 19 mm for fresh food door clearance.

If your refrigerator has an icemaker, or if you plan to add an icemaker later, the icemaker will have to be connected to a cold drinking (potable) water line.

A water supply kit containing copper tubing, shutoff valve, fittings and instructions is available at extra cost from your dealer. There should be sufficient tubing from the cold water supply to the icemaker inlet to allow moving the refrigerator out from the wall several feet (approximately 2.5 m of 1/4" copper tubing in three 25 cm diameter coils).

Do not use kits with plastic tubing since there is water pressure in the supply line at all times.

Maximum permissible inlet water pressure—8.3 bars.

Minimum permissible inlet water pressure—1.4 bars.

Installation of icemaker must be made by a qualified service technician.

Some models are equipped with trim kits that allow you to install door panels. You can order pre-cut black or white decorator panels from your dealer, or you can add wood panels to match your kitchen cabinets.

Panels Less Than 6 mm Thick

When installing wood panels less than 6 mm thick, you need to create a filler panel, such as 1/8" cardboard, that will fit between the face of the door and the wood panel. If you are installing the pre-cut decorator panels, pre-cut filler panels are included in the kit. The combined thickness of the decorator or wood panel and the filler panel should be 6 mm.

19 mm or Raised Panel

A raised panel design screwed or glued to a 6 mm thick backing, or a 19 mm routed board can be used. The raised portion of the panel must be fabricated to permit clearances of at least 51 mm from the handle side for fingertip clearance.

Weight limitations for custom panels:
