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 CSA approved, 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.  
HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY  
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  
This provides the best  
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.  
performance and also prevents  
overloading house wiring circuits  
which could cause a fire hazard  
from overheated wires.  
Never unplug your refrigerator  
by pulling on the power cord.  
Always grip plug firmly and pull  
straight out from the outlet.  
Have the wall outlet and  
circuit checked by a qualified  
electrician to make sure the  
outlet is properly grounded.  
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.  
If you have only a standard  
2-prong wall outlet, it is your  
personal responsibility and  
obligation to have it replaced  
with a properly grounded  
3-prong wall outlet.  
When moving the refrigerator  
away from the wall, be careful  
not to roll over or damage the  
power cord.  
The refrigerator should  
always be plugged into its own  
individual electrical outlet  
which has a voltage rating that  
matches the rating plate.

The control will look like one of the above.  
Control Settings  
The temperature control maintains the temperature in the  
refrigerator. Setting the control at COOL is the warmest setting. Setting  
the control at COLDEST is the coldest setting. Set the control at COLD.  
Allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to reach the COLD temperature.  
If you want a colder or warmer temperature, move the dial one  
setting at a time. Moving the control to OFF stops cooling but does  
not turn off the power to the refrigerator. Setting the control to one  
of the snowflake positions may cause freezing in the refrigerator  
depending on the room temperature.  
How To Test Temperatures  
Use the milk test. Place a container of milk on a shelf and check it  
a day later. If the milk is too warm or too cold, adjust the temperature  
control.  
After changing the control, allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to reach the  
temperature you have set.

About the refrigerator features.  
www.GEappliances.ca  
Shelves  
To remove a shelf, lift up the back slightly and pull forward.  
Some models have multi-position shelves that can be moved  
to different levels.  
Ice Tray Compartment  
This compartment is designed for production of ice cubes and  
short-term storage (a few days at most) of some commercially-  
frozen foods when in contact with the evaporator (cold surface  
in compartment.)  
Door Shelves  
Shelves on the door provide convenient storage for frequently  
used items. Some models have doors that are deep enough to  
store large bottles.  
Key-Ejecting Lock (on some models)  
The key for the spring-loaded lock is automatically ejected–  
key will not remain in lock in either the open or closed position.  
Keep the key out of reach of children and away from the refrigerator.  
If a replacement key is needed, it can be ordered by visiting  
our Website, GEappliances.ca, or calling GE Parts and Accessories,

Care and cleaning  
of the refrigerator.  
Cleaning the Outside  
Keep the outside clean. Wipe with a clean cloth lightly dampened  
with kitchen appliance wax or mild liquid dish detergent. Dry and  
polish 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 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 Inside  
To help prevent odors, leave an open box of baking soda in the  
refrigerator.  
Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning. If this is not practical,  
wring excess moisture out of sponge or cloth when cleaning  
around the control.  
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.  
Other parts of the refrigerator–including door gaskets, fruit  
and vegetable drawers, and all plastic parts–can be cleaned  
the same way.  
Do not wash any plastic refrigerator parts in the dishwasher.

Defrosting  
Defrost whenever frost on the wall of the ice tray compartment becomes  
1/4thick. Never use a sharp or metallic instrument to remove frost as  
it may damage the cooling coils. (A punctured cooling coil will cause  
serious problems and void the warranty.) We recommend using a plastic scraper.  
Do not use any electrical device in defrosting your refrigerator.  
To defrost, remove foods and ice trays from the ice tray compartment.  
Set the temperature control dial at OFF position. Defrosting usually  
takes a few hours. To defrost faster, keep the door open. Also,  
pouring warm (not hot) water on the frosted part may speed  
defrosting. Do not use boiling water—it may damage plastic parts.  
After defrosting, empty water from the drip tray. Wash the drip tray  
in warm water. Wipe the ice tray compartment with a damp cloth.  
Then turn the temperature control to the desired setting and  
return food and ice trays to the refrigerator.  
NOTE: If ice build up is very thick, it may keep the ice tray compartment door  
from opening or closing completely. Don’t try to force it open; after defrosting,  
the door will open and close easily.  
Preparing for Vacation  
For long vacations or absences, remove food and unplug the  
refrigerator. Move the control to the OFF position, and 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 door open.  
Preparing to Move  
Secure all loose items such as shelves and ice trays by taping them  
securely in place to prevent damage.  
Be sure the refrigerator stays in an upright position during moving.

Preparing to install the refrigerator.  
Read these instructions completely and carefully.  
Refrigerator Location  
Do not install the refrigerator where the temperature will go below  
50°F (10°C) because it will not run often enough to maintain  
proper temperatures.  
Install it on a floor strong enough to support it fully loaded.  
If the 2 cubic foot model is placed on a countertop or stand, the  
front surface of the door should be 3or more back from the edge  
of the countertop or stand to avoid accidental tipping of the  
appliance during normal use.  
Do not install it closer than 5(13 cm) next to a range.  
Do not install it in a recessed area.  
Do not build in the refrigerator.  
Clearances  
Allow the following clearances for ease of installation and proper  
air circulation.  
Sides 1/ 2″ (13 mm)  
Top 2(51 mm)  
Back 2(51 mm) from the rear cabinet surface to the wall  
Leveling Legs (on some models)  
Adjustable legs at the front corners of the refrigerator  
should be set so the refrigerator is firmly positioned on  
the floor and the front is raised just enough that the  
door closes easily when opened about halfway.  
To adjust the leveling legs, turn the legs counterclockwise  
to raise the refrigerator, clockwise to lower it.  
Turn counterclockwise to raise,  
clockwise to lower.
