SAFETY
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
To access the full Owner’s Manual and for more informa-
tion on your refrigerator’s operation, visit www.GEAppliances.com (Canada GEAppliances.ca)
and search for the model number. This information is also available by scanning the QR code
located on the rating plate (silver label on the top-right wall of the refrigerator compartment).
This refrigerator must be properly installed and located in
accordance with the Installation Instructions before it is used.
Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and making repairs.
- NOTE: Turning the refrigerator off via the controls on the touch
panel does not shut off electrical power to the refrigerator.
- NOTE: Repairs must be performed by a qualified Service
Professional.
Replace all parts and panels before operating.
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 (in the United States) or a CSA
certified (in Canada), 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.
To prevent suffocation and entrapment hazards to children,
Remove the fresh food and freezer doors from any refrigerator
before disposing of it or discontinuing its use.
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids
in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang on the door handles
or the shelves in the refrigerator. They could seriously injure
themselves.
In refrigerators with automatic ice makers, 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 ice making mechanism while the refrigerator is
plugged in.
Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when they
are cold. Glass shelves and covers may break if exposed to sudden
temperature changes or impact, such as bumping or dropping.
Tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small pieces if it
breaks.
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.
Do not touch the cold surfaces in the freezer compartment when
hands are damp or wet, skin may stick to these extremely cold
surfaces.
Do not refreeze frozen foods which have thawed completely.
Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice (on models with ice
dispenser)
