IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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 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.

The refrigerator 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.

Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always grip 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 refrigerator away from the wall, be careful not to roll over or damage the power cord.

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.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

MESURES DE SÉCURITÉ IMPORTANTES

RACCORDEMENT ÉLECTRIQUE

Ne coupez ni retirez en aucun cas la troisième broche (mise à la terre) de la fiche du cordon d’alimentation. Pour votre sécurité, cet appareil doit être correctement mis à la terre.

Le cordon d’alimentation de cet appareil est muni d’une fiche à 3 broches (mise à la terre) qui se branche dans une prise mural ordinaire

à 3 alvéoles (mise à la terre) pour réduire au minimum les risques du chocs électriques.

Faites examiner la prise de courant et le circuit par un électricien qualifié pour vous assurer que la prise est correctement mise à la terre.

Si la prise murale est du type standard à

2 alvéoles, il vous incombe de la faire remplacer par une prise à 3 alvéoles correctement mise

à la terre.

La machine à glaçons doit toujours être branché dans sa propre prise de courant, dont la tension nominale est identique

à celle indiquée sur la plaque signalétique.

Cette précaution est recommandée pour garantir un rendement optimum et éviter une surcharge des circuits électriques de la résidence, ce qui pourrait créer un risque d’incendie par surschauffe des fils.

Ne débranchez jamais l’appareil en tirant le cordon d’alimentation. Saisissez fermement la fiche du cordon et tirez droit pour la retirer de la prise.

Réparez ou remplacez immédiatement tout cordon effiloché ou endommagé. N’utilisez pas un cordon fendillé ou présentant des signes d’usure.

Lorsque vous déplacez l’appareil du mur, faites attention de ne pas la faire rouler sur le cordon d’alimentation afin de ne pas l’endommager.

CORDONS PROLONGATEURS

Nous vous recommandons fortement de ne pas utíliser de cordons prolongateurs à cause des risques potentiels qu’ils présentent dans certaines conditions.

Toutefois si vous décidez d’utiliser tout de même un cordon prolongateur, il est absolument nécessaire qu’il s’agisse d’un cordon à 3 fils avec mise à la terre pour appareils électroménagers homologué UL (aux États-Unis) ou homologué

CSA (au Canada), pourvu d’une fiche et d’une prise mises à la terre de 15 ampères (minimum) et de 120 volts.

Operating Instructions

Stainless Steel Refrigerator

Temperature controls

The temperature controls are preset in the factory at 37°F for the fresh food compartment and 0°F for the freezer compartment. Allow

24 hours for the temperature to stabilize to the preset recommended settings.

The temperature controls can display both the SET temperature as well as the actual temperature in the fresh food and freezer compartments. The actual temperature may vary slightly from the

SET temperature based on usage and operating environment.

Setting either or both controls to OFF stops cooling in both the freezer and fresh food compartments, but does not shut off electrical power to the refrigerator.

NOTE: The refrigerator is shipped with protective film covering the temperature controls. If this film was not removed during installation, remove it now.

To change the temperature,

press and release the (warmer) or (colder) pad. The SET light will come on and the display will show the set temperature. To change the temperature, tap either the (warmer) or (colder) pad until the desired temperature is displayed.

Fresh food temperatures can be adjusted between 34°F and 44°F and the freezer temperatures can be adjusted between

-6°F and +6°F.

Once the desired temperature has been set, the temperature display will return to the actual fresh food and freezer temperatures after 5 seconds. Several adjustments may be required. Each time you adjust controls, allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to reach the temperature you have set.

To turn the cooling system off,

tap the

(warmer) pad for either the fresh food compartment or the freezer until the display shows OFF. To turn the unit back on, press the

(colder) pad for either the fresh food compartment or freezer. The SET light will illuminate on the side you selected. Then press the (colder) pad again (on the side where the SET light is illuminated) and it will go to the preset points of 0°F for the freezer and

37°F for the fresh food compartment.

Performance

Air Flow

System

The Performance Air-Flow System is designed to maximize temperature control in the fresh food and freezer compartments. This unique special feature consists of the Air Tower along the top and back walls of the fresh food compartment and the Air Tunnel on the bottom portion of the freezer rear wall.

Placing food in front of the louvers on these components will not affect performance.

Although the Air Tower and the Air Tunnel can be removed, doing so will affect temperature performance. (For removal instructions, on-line, 24 hours a day, contact us at ge.com or call 800.444.1845. In Canada, call us at 1.888.880.3030.)

How it works

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 to use

1

Press TurboCool. The refrigerator temperature display will show TC.

2

After TurboCool is complete, the refrigerator compartment will return to the original setting.

NOTES:

• The refrigerator temperature cannot be changed

during TurboCool.

• 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.

CustomCool

™

Stainless Steel Refrigerator

How it works

The CustomCool feature is a system of dampers, a fan, a temperature thermistor and a heater. Depending on the function selected, a combination of these will be used to quickly chill items, thaw items or hold the pan at a specific temperature.

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

The controls for this pan are located at the top of the fresh food compartment with the temperature controls.

How to use

1

Empty the pan. Place the Chill/Thaw tray in the pan. Place the items on the tray and close the pan completely.

2

Select the ExpressThaw

™ ™

or SelectTemp

™

pad. The display and SET light will come on. Tap the pad until the light appears next to the desired setting. Use the chart to determine the best setting to use.

•

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

•

During ExpressThaw and ExpressChill, the display on the controls will count down the time in the cycle.

•

After the ExpressThaw cycle is complete, the pan will reset to the MEAT setting (31°F) to help preserve thawed items until they are used.

•

The displayed actual temperature of the

CustomCool

pan may vary slightly from the SET temperature based on usage and operating environment.

NOTE: For food safety reasons, it is recommended that foods be wrapped in plastic wrap when using

ExpressThaw. This will help contain meat juices and improve thawing performance.

Automatic icemaker

Automatic Icemaker

Stainless Steel Refrigerator

NOTE: A newly installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24 hours to begin making ice.

The icemaker will produce seven cubes per cycle—approximately 100–130 cubes 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 in the O (off) position.

When the refrigerator has been connected to the water supply, set the power switch to the

l (on) position.

The icemaker will fill with water when it cools to

15°F (–10°C). A newly installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24 hours to begin making ice cubes.

You will hear a buzzing sound each time the icemaker fills with water.

Throw away the first few batches of ice to allow the water line to clear.

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.

Special notes:

•

Dispenser models have a tilt-out ice bin.

The bin can be tilted out as shown in the illustrations, and it will hold itself up while you take ice out or turn the icemaker power switch on and off. Be sure to put the bin back in place before closing the door.

• To restore your ice level from an empty bucket stage, the following steps are recommended:

1

12 hours after the first batch of ice has fallen into the bin, dispense 3 to 4 cubes.

2

After an additional 6 hours, dispense

3 to 4 cubes again.

These steps will restore your ice level in the shortest amount of time.

Select CUBED ICE , CRUSHED ICE or WATER .

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.

NOTE: If no water is dispensed when the refrigerator is first installed, there may be air in the water line system. Press the dispenser arm for at least 2 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 6 glassfuls of water.

w

CAUTION:

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

w

ATTENTION :

Ne mettez jamais les doigts ou d’autres objets dans l’ouverture du distributeur.

Spill Shelf

Other dispenser controls

Locking the Dispenser

Press the CONTROL LOCK pad for 3 seconds to lock the dispenser and control panel.

To unlock, press and hold the pad again for 3 seconds.

Dispenser Light

This pad turns the night light in the dispenser on and off.

The light also comes on when the dispenser cradle is pressed.

If this light burns out, it should be replaced with a 6 watt 12V maximum bulb.

Quick Ice

When you need ice in a hurry, press this pad to speed up ice production. This will increase ice production for the following

48 hours or until you press the pad again.

This alarm will sound if either door is open for more than

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

Important facts about the dispenser

•

Do not add ice from trays or bags to the storage drawer. It may not crush or dispense well.

•

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.

•

Beverages and foods should not be quick-chilled in the ice storage drawer.

Cans, bottles or food packages in the storage drawer 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 CUBED ICE. 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 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.

Cleaning the outside

Cleaning the inside

Care and Cleaning

Stainless Steel Refrigerator

The dispenser drip area,

beneath the grille, should be wiped dry. Water left in this area

Dispenser drip 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 dispenser cradle.

Before cleaning, lock the dispenser by pressing and holding the CONTROL LOCK 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.

The stainless steel panels and handles

can be cleaned with a commercially available stainless steel cleaner such as Stainless Steel Magic

.

™

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.

To help prevent odors,

leave an open box of baking soda in the fresh food and freezer compartments.

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 a tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda to a quart (1 liter) of water. This both cleans and neutralizes odors. Rinse 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.

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.

Do not wash any plastic refrigerator parts in the dishwasher.

The Chill/Thaw tray is dishwasher safe.

20

Behind the refrigerator

Care and Cleaning

Stainless Steel Refrigerator

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.

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.

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

Preparing for vacation

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.

Set the icemaker power switch to the O (off) position and shut off the water supply to the refrigerator.

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 to move

Secure all loose items such as shelves and drawers by taping them securely in place to prevent damage.

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.

Be sure the refrigerator stays in an upright position during moving.

Normal operating sounds

The Problem Solver

Stainless Steel Refrigerator

Newer refrigerators sound different from older refrigerators. Modern refrigerators have more features and use newer technology.

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.

•

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.

•

You may hear a whooshing sound when the doors close. This is due to pressure equalizing within the refrigerator.

•

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.

•

If either door is open for over 3 minutes, you may hear the fans come on in order to cool the light bulbs.

•

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

•

You may hear cracking or popping sounds when the refrigerator is first plugged in.

This happens as the refrigerator cools to the correct temperature.

•

Electronic dampers click open and closed to provide optimal cooling and energy savings.

•

The compressor may cause a clicking or chirping sound when attempting to restart

(this could take up to 5 minutes).

•

The electronic control board may cause a clicking sound when relays activate to control refrigerator components.

•

Expansion and contraction of cooling coils during and after defrost can cause a cracking or popping sound.

•

After an icemaking cycle, you may hear the ice cubes dropping into the ice bucket.

WATER SOUNDS

•

The flow of refrigerant through the freezer cooling coils may make a gurgling noise like boiling water.

•

Water dropping on the defrost heater can cause a sizzling, popping or buzzing sound during the defrost cycle.

•

A water dripping noise may occur during the defrost cycle as ice melts from the evaporator and flows into the drain pan.

•

Closing the door may cause a gurgling sound due to pressure equalization.

For additional information on normal icemaker and dispenser operating sounds, see the Automatic Icemaker and Ice and Water Dispenser sections.
