IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING—When using this appliance, always • If your refrigerator has an automatic
exercise basic safety precautions, including the
following:
icemaker, avoid contact with the moving
parts of the ejector mechanism, or with the
heating element that releases the cubes. Do
not place fingers or hands on the automatic
icemaking mechanism while the refrigerator
is plugged in.
• Use this appliance only for its intended
purpose as described in this Use and
Care Guide.
• 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.) NOTE: Turning control to OFF
does not remove power to the light circuit.
• Do not touch the cold surfaces in the freezer
compartment when hands are damp or wet.
Skin may adhere to these extremely cold
surfaces.
• Do not refreeze frozen foods which have
thawed completely.
• Do not store or use gasoline or other
flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity
of this or any other appliance.
w DANGER: RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT
Child entrapment and suffocation are not
problems of the past. Junked or abandoned
refrigerators are still dangerous…even if they
will sit for “just a few days.” If you are getting
rid of your old refrigerator, please follow the
instructions below to help prevent accidents.
Before You Throw Away Your Old
Refrigerator or Freezer:
• Take off the doors.
• Leave the shelves in place so that children
may not easily climb inside.
CFC DISPOSAL
Your old refrigerator has a cooling system that
used CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons). CFCs are
believed to harm stratospheric ozone.
If you are throwing away your old refrigerator,
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.

Operating Instructions
Bottom Mount Refrigerator
Your refrigerator has two controls that let you
regulate the temperature in the fresh food and
freezer compartments.
Set the
temperature
controls
They have settings from 1 through 9,
and are located at the top of the fresh food
compartment.
The freezer control also has an OFF setting.
9 is the coldest setting, 1 is the warmest.
WHEN YOU FIRST TURN THE
REFRIGERATOR ON, SET BOTH
CONTROLS AT 5.
For colder or warmer temperatures, adjust
the desired compartment control one number
at a time.
IMPORTANT: When first setting controls,
or adjusting them, allow 24 hours for the
refrigerator to get cold.
NOTE: Turning the freezer control to the
OFF position stops cooling in BOTH
compartments— fresh food AND freezer—
but does not shut off power to the refrigerator.
Use the milk test for the fresh food
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.

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.
Always allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to
reach the temperature you set.
The energy saver switch is located on the
temperature control panel.
The humidity is most likely to be high in the
summer, in the early morning hours, and in
homes which are not air conditioned.
Energy saver
switch
To reduce the amount of electricity required
to operate your refrigerator, push switch to
ENERGY SAVER setting.
Over an extended period of time, moisture that
forms on the refrigerator surface may cause
deterioration of the paint finish. It will be
important to protect the finish by using
appliance polish wax as described in the Care
and Cleaning section.
This turns off the heater in your refrigerator
that prevents moisture from forming on the
outside of the refrigerator.
With the heater turned off, there is a chance
that moisture may form on the outside of your
refrigerator, especially when the weather is
humid.
Move the energy saver switch from the
ENERGY SAVER setting and electricity flows
through the low wattage heater which warms
the outside of the refrigerator. Under most
conditions, this prevents the forming of
moisture or water droplets.

Automatic Icemaker (on some models)
Bottom Mount Refrigerator
A newly-installed refrigerator may take 8 to 12
hours to begin making ice.
Icemaking will continue until the feeler arm
senses enough ice cubes in the storage bin. For
maximum ice production, level the stored cubes
with your hand occasionally. Be sure nothing
interferes with the swing of the feeler arm.
Automatic
icemaker
The icemaker will produce eight cubes per
cycle—approximately 100 cubes in a 24-hour
period, depending on freezer compartment
temperature, room temperature, number of
door openings and other use conditions.
The icemaker ejects cubes in groups of eight
and it is normal for several cubes to be joined
together.

If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes will
become cloudy and taste stale. Empty the ice
storage bin periodically and wash it in
lukewarm water. Be sure to allow the storage
bin to dry before replacing it—otherwise ice
cubes may stick to other parts of the icemaker.
Feeler arm in the

The icemaker will fill with water when it cools
to freezing. A newly-installed refrigerator may
take 8 to 12 hours to begin making ice cubes.
If this is your first icemaker, you’ll hear
occasional sounds that may be unfamiliar. They
are normal icemaking sounds and are not a
cause for concern.
Throw away the first few batches of ice.
This flushes away impurities in the water line.

Cleaning
outside
dishwashing detergent and water. Dry with a
soft cloth. Don’t use wax on the door handles
or trim.
It is also available through GE Parts by calling
1-800-626-2000. Order part number WX10X15.
Do not use appliance wax or polish on the
stainless steel.
The stainless steel panels and door handles
(on some models) can be cleaned with a
commercially available stainless steel cleaner
such as Stainless Steel Magic.
To help prevent odors,
leave an open box of baking
soda in the fresh food and
freezer compartments.
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. After cleaning the door
gaskets, apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly to
the door gaskets at the hinge side. This helps
keep the gaskets from sticking and bending
out of shape.
Cleaning
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 l) of water. This both cleans
and neutralizes odors. Rinse and wipe dry.
Do not wash any plastic refrigerator parts in
the dishwasher.
Decorative Panel
Condenser
To clean the condenser fins:
First turn off the power at the circuit breaker or
fuse box. Wait about 30 minutes for the
condenser area to cool. Then remove the
decorative panel by lifting up and toward you.
Use a soft bristle brush to loosen dust and lint
on the condenser fins. Use a vacuum hose to
remove soil.
After cleaning: Reconnect power at the fuse box
or circuit breaker.
Replace the decorative panel.
