READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

⚠ WARNING — When using this appliance, always exercise basic safety precautions, including the following:

• 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.
• Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang on the shelves in the refrigerator. They could damage the refrigerator and seriously injure themselves.
  • 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 store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

• In refrigerators with an automatic icemaker, avoid contact with the moving parts of the ejector mechanism, or with the heating element located on the bottom of the icemaker. Do not place fingers or hands on the automatic icemaking mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged in.

• 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.
• 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, set the Master Light switch in the OFF position to turn off the lights in order to avoid contact with a live wire filament. (A burned-out light bulb may break when being replaced.) NOTE: Setting the refrigerator temperature controls to OFF does not remove power to the light circuit.
• Do not refreeze frozen foods which have thawed completely.

▲ DANGER: RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT

Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigeration products are still dangerous... even if they will sit for “just a few days.” If you are getting rid of your old appliance, please follow these instructions to help prevent accidents.

Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigeration Product:

• Take off the doors.
- Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.

CFC DISPOSAL

Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system that used CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons). CFCs are believed to harm stratospheric ozone.

If you are throwing away an old refrigeration product, make sure the CFC refrigerant is removed for proper disposal by a qualified servicer. If you intentionally release this CFC refrigerant, you can be subject to fines and imprisonment under provisions of environmental legislation.

LIRE ET CONSERVER CES INSTRUCTIONS

▲ AVERTISSEMENT :

Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.

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.

Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.

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.

Use of a GFI (Ground Fault Interruptor) is not recommended for the refrigerator outlet.

The appliance should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the rating plate. This provides the best performance and also prevents overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires.

DO NOT USE AN ADAPTER PLUG TO CONNECT THE REFRIGERATOR TO A 2-PRONG OUTLET.

DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD WITH THIS APPLIANCE.

Never unplug an appliance by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet.

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.

When moving the appliance, be careful not to roll over or damage the power cord.

Spill Shelf

How to Use

To dispense water or ice: select WATER 🎨, CUBED ICE 🎨 or CRUSHED ICE 🎨.

Then press the glass gently against the top of the dispenser cradle.

The spill shelf is not self-draining. To reduce water spotting, the shelf and its grille should be cleaned regularly.

If no water is dispensed when the refrigerator is first installed, there may be air in the water line system. Press the dispenser cradle for at least two minutes to remove trapped air from the water line and to fill the water system. To flush out impurities in the water line, throw away the first gallon of water.

CAUTION: Never put fingers or any other objects into the ice crusher discharge opening.

Rotate Drive Mechanism

Important facts about your ice & water dispenser

• Do not add ice from trays or bags to the storage bin. It may not crush or dispense well.
• Avoid overfilling glass with ice and use of narrow or extra-tall 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.

• 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.
  • To keep dispensed ice from missing the glass, put the glass close to, but not touching, the dispenser opening.

• Some crushed ice may be dispensed even though you selected CUBES. This happens occasionally when a few cubes accidentally get directed to the crusher.
  • After crushed ice is dispensed, some water may drip from the chute.

• 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.
• Dispensed water is not ice cold. For colder water, simply add crushed ice or cubes before dispensing water.
• The first glass of water dispensed may be warmer than the following ones. This is normal.

Automatic icemaker

A newly-installed refrigerator may take 12–24 hours to begin making ice.

The icemaker will produce seven cubes per cycle—approximately 15 cycles in a 24-hour period, depending on freezer compartment temperature, room temperature, number of door openings and other use conditions.

If the refrigerator is operated before the water connection is made to the icemaker, set the power switch to O (off).

When the refrigerator has been connected to the water supply, set the power switch to 1 (on). The green light will come on.

Throw away the first full bucket of ice.

Be sure nothing interferes with the sweep of the feeler arm.

When the bin fills to the level of the feeler arm, the icemaker will stop producing ice.

It is normal for several cubes to be joined together.

If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes will become cloudy, taste stale and shrink.

Power Switch Icemaker Green Power Light Feeler Arm

After the icemaker has been turned on again, there will be a delay of about 45 minutes before the icemaker resumes operations.

NOTE: In homes with lower-than-average water pressure, you may hear the icemaker water valve cycle on several times when making one batch of ice.

Climate Control drawer

How it Works

The Climate Control feature is a system of dampers, a fan, a temperature thermistor, a heater and a specially designed tray. The Climate Control drawer can be used to chill items quickly, thaw foods quickly or store items at their optimum temperatures.

The drawer is tightly sealed to prevent the drawer's temperature from causing temperature fluctuations in the rest of the refrigerator.

SELECT TEMP-Use this feature to store items at their optimum temperatures. The CITRUS setting will maintain a drawer temperature of 43°F by cycling a small heater off and on as needed. The PRODUCE setting will maintain the drawer temperature at 34°F by drawing in additional cold air as needed. The MEAT setting will maintain the drawer temperature at 32°F by drawing in additional cold air as needed.

EXPRESS CHILL-This feature can be used to cool items in minutes, rather than hours. Extra cool air is circulated throughout the drawer. Once the cycle is complete, the drawer will revert to the pre-set fresh food temperature.

EXPRESS THAW-This feature thaws items in hours rather than days. Food is gently thawed in a cool environment by circulating air throughout the drawer. Temperature is maintained in the drawer by cycling a small heater off and on as needed. Once the thaw cycle is complete, the pan will automatically adjust to a temperature of 32^ F to store the food at its optimum temperature.

Climate Control Tray—Besides using the specially designed Climate Control tray when using the drawer, it can also be used as a chilled serving tray to keep foods cold.

NOTE: By turning the controls on the Climate Control drawer off, the drawer can be used as a standard sealed produce pan. The temperature inside the drawer will be the same as the fresh food compartment.

2 Select the Express Thaw,™ Express Chill™ or Select Temp™ pad. The display will come on. Press the pad until the light appears next to the desired setting. Use the chart on the next page to determine the best setting.

- To stop a feature before it is finished, press that feature's pad until no options are selected and the display is off.

- During Express Thaw™ and Express Chill,™ the display on the controls will count down the time remaining in the cycle.

- After the Express Thaw™ cycle is complete, the drawer will reset to the MEAT setting (32°F) to help preserve thawed items until they are used.

- The displayed actual temperature of the Climate Control drawer may vary slightly from the SET temperature based on usage and operation environment.

NOTE: For food safety reasons, it is recommended that foods be wrapped in plastic wrap when using Express Thaw. ^™ This will help contain meat juices and improve thawing performance.

Door handles and trim-Clean with a cloth dampened with soapy water. Dry with a soft cloth.

Keep the outside clean. Wipe with a clean cloth lightly dampened with mild liquid dish detergent. Dry with a clean, soft cloth.

Do not wipe the refrigerator with a soiled dish cloth or wet towel. These may leave a residue that can damage the finish. Do not use scouring pads, powdered cleaners, bleach or cleaners containing bleach because these products can scratch and damage the finish.

Stainless steel-Regularly clean and polish the Stainless Steel Door Panels and Handles (on some models) with a commercially available stainless steel cleaner such as Stainless Steel Magic™ to preserve and protect the fine finish. Stainless Steel Magic is available through GE Parts and Accessories, 800.626.2002, or GEAppliances.com. Order part number WX10X15.

Do not use appliance wax or polish on the stainless steel.

Cleaning inside

Turn off power at the circuit breaker or fuse box 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 (15 ml) of baking soda to a quart (1 liter) of water. This both cleans and neutralizes odors. Thoroughly rinse 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 wash the tray or any plastic refrigerator parts in the dishwasher.

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.
