IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING!

Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner’s Manual.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:

Safety Instructions

This refrigerator must be properly installed and located in accordance with the Installation Instructions before it is used.

Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang on the shelves in the refrigerator. They could damage the refrigerator and seriously injure themselves.

Do not allow anyone to climb, sit, stand or hang on the Refreshment Center door. They could damage the refrigerator and maybe even tip it over, causing severe personal injury.

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 store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

In refrigerators with automatic icemakers, 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 icemaking mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged in.

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.

Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and making repairs.

NOTE: We strongly recommend that any servicing be performed by a qualified individual.

Turning the control to the OFF or position does not remove power to the light circuit.

Do not refreeze frozen foods which have thawed completely.

DANGER! RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT

PROPER DISPOSAL OF THE REFRIGERATOR

Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still dangerous…even if they will sit for “just a few days.” If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator, please follow the instructions below to help prevent accidents.

Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigerator or Freezer:

Take off the doors.

Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.

CFC Disposal

Your old refrigerator has a cooling system that used CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons). CFCs are believed to harm stratospheric ozone.

If you are throwing away your old refrigerator, make sure the CFC refrigerant is removed for proper disposal by a qualified servicer. If you intentionally release this CFC refrigerant you can be subject to fines and imprisonment under provisions of environmental legislation.

Troubleshooting Tips

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 (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.

The GE TPX24PBDCC, TPX24PBDWW, TPX24PBDAA, TPX24PBDBB, and TPS24PBDBS are part of General Electric's innovative line of refrigerators that focus on energy efficiency, spacious design, and advanced technology. Each model offers unique features catering to modern households and varying individual preferences.

One of the standout characteristics of the TPX series is its ample storage capacity, designed to accommodate the needs of families by providing flexible shelving options, adjustable bins, and spacious compartments. This ensures that users can easily organize their groceries, making meal prep more convenient.

The refrigerators are equipped with GE's advanced cooling technology, which maintains optimal temperatures and humidity levels to preserve food freshness longer. This is particularly beneficial in enhancing the shelf life of fruits and vegetables, keeping them crisp and flavorful.

Energy efficiency is a prominent feature across these models. They meet Energy Star guidelines, helping to reduce electricity bills while simultaneously minimizing environmental impact. The TPX series incorporates advanced insulation materials that contribute to lower energy consumption, ensuring that the refrigerators operate efficiently even during peak usage.

In terms of user experience, the TPX24 models offer features like adjustable temperature controls and LED lighting, which enhances visibility and makes it easier for users to find items stored inside. The ice and water dispensers, available in select models, provide convenience by allowing access to chilled water and ice without opening the fridge.

Aesthetic appeal is another consideration with the TPX series. They come in various finishes, such as fingerprint-resistant stainless steel, which not only enhances their appearance but also simplifies cleaning. This feature is particularly appreciated in busy kitchens where appearance matters.

Another remarkable aspect is the integration of modern technology. Some models may offer smart features that allow users to monitor their refrigerator from their smartphones, enabling them to adjust settings, receive alerts about temperature changes, and track food inventories, thus enhancing the overall convenience and functionality of the kitchen.

Overall, the GE TPX24PBDCC, TPX24PBDWW, TPX24PBDAA, TPX24PBDBB, and TPS24PBDBS combine cutting-edge technology, ample storage, and efficient cooling to meet diverse consumer needs. They exemplify GE's dedication to innovation and consumer satisfaction in the realm of kitchen appliances.
