IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS  
• Your freezer has an automatic  
w WARNING–When using this  
appliance, always exercise basic safety  
precautions, including the following:  
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 freezer is plugged in.  
• Use this appliance only for its intended  
purpose as described in this Owner’s Manual.  
• This refrigerator/freezer must be properly  
installed in accordance with the Installation  
Instructions before it is used.  
• Unplug your refrigerator/freezer  
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/freezer.  
They could damage the refrigerator/freezer  
and seriously injure themselves.  
• Before replacing a burned-out light bulb,  
the refrigerator/freezer 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 store or use gasoline or other  
flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity  
of this or any other appliance.  
• Do not refreeze frozen foods which have  
thawed completely.  
w DANGER: RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT  
Child entrapment and suffocation are not  
problems of the past. Junked or abandoned  
refrigerator/freezers are still dangerous…even  
if they will sit for “just a few days.” If you are  
getting rid of your old refrigerator/freezer,  
please follow the instructions below to help  
prevent accidents.  
Before You Throw Away Your Old  
Refrigerator/Freezer or Freezer:  
Take off the doors.  
Leave the shelves in place so that children may  
not easily climb inside.  
REFRIGERANTS  
All refrigeration products contain refrigerants,  
which under federal law must be removed prior  
to product disposal. If you are getting rid of an old  
refrigeration product, check with the company  
handling the disposal about what to do.

LIRE ET CONSERVER CES INSTRUCTIONS  
• Le congélateur doté d’une machine  
w AVERTISSEMENT :  
Lorsque vous utilisez le réfrigérateur/congélateur,  
observez toujours certaines précautions de base,  
notamment :  
à glaçons automatique—évitez le contact  
avec les pièces mobiles du mécanisme éjecteur  
ou avec l’élément chauffant situé à la partie  
inférieure de la machine à glaçons. Ne posez  
pas les doigts ou les mains sur le mécanisme  
de la machine à glaçons pendant que  
le congélateur est branché.  
• N’utilisez l’appareil que pour son usage  
prévu, comme décrit dans le présent manuel  
de l’utilisateur.  
• Débranchez votre réfrigérateur/congélateur  
avant de le nettoyer et de le réparer.  
REMARQUE : Nous vous recommandons  
vivement de confier toute réparation  
à un technicien qualifié.  
• Installez le réfrigérateur/congélateur  
conformément aux directives d’installation  
avant de l’utiliser.  
• Ne laissez pas les enfants grimper, s’asseoir,  
se tenir debout ni se pendre aux clayettes  
du réfrigérateur/congélateur. Ils pourraient  
endommager le réfrigérateur et se blesser  
gravement.  
• Avant de remplacer une ampoule grillée,  
le réfrigérateur/congélateur doit être débranché  
afin d’éviter tout contact avec un fil sous tension.  
(Une ampoule grillée peut se briser pendant  
l’opération). REMARQUE : Lorsque vous placez  
la commande sur «0» (éteint), l’alimentation  
électrique de l’ampoule n’est pas coupée.  
• Une fois le congélateur en marche,  
ne touchez pas les surfaces froides  
du congélateur, surtout si vous avez  
les mains humides ou mouillées : la peau  
risque d’adhérer à ces surfaces très froides.  
• Ne faites PAS recongeler des aliments  
surgelés qui ont complètement dégelé.  
• N’entreposez et n’utilisez pas d’essence  
ou autres vapeurs et liquides inflammables  
à proximité de cet appareil ou de tout autre  
appareil électroménager.  
w DANGER : RISQUES POUR LES ENFANTS  
Les enfants pris au piège ou morts d’asphyxie  
sont toujours d’actualité. Les appareils de  
réfrigération abandonés sont toujours aussi  
dangereux, même si on n’attend que “quelque  
jours” pour s’en débarasser. Si vous ne gardez  
pas votre ancien appareil, veuillez suivre  
les directives ci-dessous afin de prévenir  
les accidents.  
Avant de vous débarasser de votre vieux  
appareil de réfrigération :  
Démontez les portes.  
Laissez les clayettes en place afin d’empêcher  
les enfants de grimper à l’intérieur.  
RÉFRIGÉRANTS  
Tous les appareils de réfrigération contiennent  
des réfrigérants qui, conformément aux lois  
fédérales, doivent être enlevés avant toute  
élimination de l’appareil. Si vous vous  
débarrassez de vieux appareils de réfrigération,  
vérifiez, auprès de la société qui s’occupe  
de leur élimination, ce que vous devez faire.

Care and Cleaning  
36” All-Refrigerator and All-Freezer Units  
Door handles and trim—Clean with a cloth  
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 ge.com. Order part number  
WX10X15.  
Cleaning  
outside  
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/freezer 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.  
Do not use appliance wax or polish on the stainless  
steel.  
To help prevent odors, leave  
an open box of baking soda  
in the refrigerator/freezer.  
Other parts of the refrigerator/freezer— 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  
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.  
Avoid cleaning cold glass shelves with hot water  
because the extreme temperature difference  
may cause them to break. Handle glass shelves  
carefully. Rough handling of 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 liter) of water. This both cleans  
and neutralizes odors. Thoroughly rinse  
and wipe dry.  
Do not wash any plastic refrigerator/freezer parts  
in the dishwasher.

Preparation  
36” All-Refrigerator and All-Freezer Units  
Do not install the refrigerator/freezer where  
temperatures will be below 60°F (16°C) because  
it will not run often enough to maintain proper  
temperatures, and the refrigerator will develop  
high internal humidity.  
For proper installation, the refrigerator/  
freezer must be placed on a level surface  
of hard material the same height as the rest  
of the flooring. This surface should be  
strong enough to support a fully loaded  
refrigerator/freezer, or approximately  
1,200 lbs. each. See the Installation  
Refrigerator/  
freezer  
location  
Instructions for complete directions.  
If the refrigerator/freezer is to be installed in  
a corner, a 4" clearance is required on the hinge  
side for a 90° door opening and access to fresh  
food drawers. A 15" clearance is required on  
the hinge side to remove pans. A 25" clearance  
is required on the hinge side for a full 130°  
door swing.  
No other clearances at top, sides or back  
are required. See the Installation Instructions  
for complete directions.  
Clearances  
The unit is top-heavy and must be secured  
to prevent the possibility of tipping forward.  
An anti-tip bracket must be installed to secure

wrench.  
• Adjust height of unit to match installation  
cutout opening 83-1/2 to 84-1/2". The unit  
should be level and plumb with cabinetry.  
CAUTION:  
The rear leveling wheels and front leveling legs  
are limited to a maximum height adjustment of  
1". If the installation requires more than 84-1/2"  
height, the installer should elevate the unit on  
a sheet of plywood or runners. Cabinetry trim  
could also be added across the top of the  
opening to shorten the opening. If you attempt  
to raise the unit more than 1", you will damage  
the front leveling legs and the rear leveling  
wheels.  
PRUDENCE  
Les roues de nivellement arrière et les pattes  
de nivellement avant permettent un réglage  
maximal de 25 mm (1 po). Si l’ouverture pour  
l’appareil ménager a une hauteur supérieure  
à 2,15 m (84-1/2 po), l’installateur doit élever  
l’appareil ménager sur une feuille de contre-  
plaqué ou des glissières. Il est également possible  
d’ajouter des baguettes de finition des placards  
sur le haut de l’ouverture afin de la réduire.

• The “L” rods can be found in the upper left  
and right corners of the unit in the access  
compartment. Look through the access  
compartment to make sure the rods line  
up with the anti-tip bracket.  
Secure unit  
to wall  
• There are 2 washers and a hair pin cotter per  
rod. Remove the washers and hair pin cotter  
from the end of the rod.  
• Rotate and move the “L” rod into the slot  
in the anti-tip bracket tab. Once it is in  
the slot, rotate the “L” rod so the hook portion  
is pointing down. The holes at the front end  
of the rod should be in a vertical position.  
Do this to both sides.  
• Pull out on the end of the rod to make sure  
it is secure in the bracket.  
• Locate the hole on the rod that is closest  
to the unit. A hair pin cotter will be put through  
this hole to secure the rod. If this hole appears  
to be too far away for a snug fit against  
the unit, add the washers one at a time until  
the pin will fit tightly into the hole.  
• Align the straight section of the pin with  
the hole from the underside of the rod. Push  
the pin up until it snaps into position. Pliers  
may be used. NOTE: The hair pin cotter must be  
vertical when this step is completed to ensure  
the “L” rod is engaged in the bracket.  
• Check the rod for tightness by pulling forward.  
If the rod moves, remove the hair pin cotter  
and place another washer on the rod.  
Reinsert the pin.  
• Bend the left grille back into place (freezer only)  
and replace the screws.  
• Replace the flat grille panel by sliding  
it under the flange at the top of the access  
compartment and pushing the grille back  
into place. Replace screws.

FREEZER DOES NOT  
OPERATE  
• May be in defrost cycle when motor does not operate for about  
45 minutes.  
• Temperature control in the OFF position.  
• If interior light is not on, refrigerator/freezer may not be plugged in  
at wall outlet.  
• The house fuse is blown/house circuit breaker is tripped. Replace fuse  
or reset the breaker.  
• The Sabbath Mode Kit may be installed and operating. Turn off  
the Sabbath Mode device.  
MOTOR OPERATES  
FOR LONG PERIODS  
OR CYCLES ON AND  
OFF FREQUENTLY  
• Normal when refrigerator/freezer is first plugged in. Wait 24 hours  
or the refrigerator/freezer to completely cool down.  
• Often occurs when large amounts of food are placed in refrigerator/  
freezer. This is normal.

OPERATING  
SOUNDS  
• The variable speed compressor motor.  
• Normal fan air flow—multiple fans blow cold air through the fresh food  
and freezer compartments—another fan cools the compressor motor.  
• The fans change speeds in order to provide optimal cooling and  
energy savings.  
• These NORMAL sounds will also be heard from time to time:  
– You may hear a whooshing or gurgling sound when the door closes.  
This is due to pressure equalizing within the refrigerator.  
– A water dripping sound may occur during the defrost cycle as ice  
melts from the evaporator and flows into the drain pan.  
– The flow of refrigerant through the freezer cooling coils may make a  
gurgling sound like boiling water.  
– Water dropping on the defrost heater can cause a sizzling, popping or  
buzzing sound during the defrost cycle.  
– You may hear cracking or popping sounds when the refrigerator is  
first plugged in or during/after the defrost cycle. This happens as the  
refrigerator cools to the correct temperature.  
– 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.  
– Ice cubes dropping into the bin and water running in pipes as  
icemaker refills.  
– The icemaker water valve will buzz when the icemaker fills with water.
