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.)
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 eight 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.

About the temperature controls.
4
The temperature controls are preset in the factory at
37°F
for the refrigerator 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
refrigerator and freezer. The actual temperature may vary slightly from the
SET
temperature based on
usage and operating environment.
■
On some models, setting both controls to the warmest setting until the display flashes (off) will stop
cooling in both the freezer and refrigerator compartments.
■
On other models, setting either control to the warmest setting until the display flashes (off) will stop
the cooling to the freezer and refrigerator.
■
NOTE:
Turning the refrigerator off via the controls on the touch panel 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.
