to the preset recommended settings.
Refrigerator temperatures can be adjusted between 34°F and 46°F
(1°C to 8°C), and the freezer temperatures can be adjusted between
–6°F and +8°F (–21°C to –13°C).

The Performance Air-Flow System is designed
to maximize temperature control in the refrigerator and
freezer compartments. This unique special feature consists
of the Air Tower along the back wall of the refrigerator 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, contact
us at ge.com or call 800.GE.CARES. In Canada, contact us
at geappliances.ca or call 1.800.561.3344.)
