Care and cleaning of the refrigerator.

Defrosting (on manual defrost models with freezer area)

Defrost whenever frost on the wall of the ice tray compartment becomes

1/4″ thick. Never use a sharp or metallic instrument to remove frost as

it may damage the cooling coils. (A punctured cooling coil will cause serious problems and void the warranty.) We recommend using a plastic scraper. Do not use any electrical device in defrosting your refrigerator.

To defrost:

■Remove foods and ice trays from the ice tray compartment.

■Set the temperature control dial at OFF position.

■On models without a drip tray, place a pan beneath the ice tray compartment to collect water.

Defrosting usually takes a few hours. To defrost faster, keep the door open. Also, pouring warm (not hot) water on the frosted part may speed defrosting. Do not use boiling water—it may damage plastic parts.

After defrosting:

■Empty water from the drip tray or from the pan placed beneath the ice tray compartment. Wash the tray or pan with warm water.

■Wipe the ice tray compartment with a damp cloth.

■Turn the temperature control to the desired setting and return food and ice trays to the refrigerator.

NOTE: If ice buildup is very thick, it may keep the ice tray compartment door from opening or closing completely. Don’t try to force it open; after defrosting, the door will open and close easily.

Defrosting (on cycle defrost all-refrigerator models)

Defrost whenever frost on the inside surfaces of the storage area becomes 1/8 ″ (3 mm) thick. Never use a heater of any kind, scraper or sharp metallic instrument to remove frost as it may damage the refrigerator or cooling coils. ( A punctured cooling coil will cause serious problems and void the warranty.)

To defrost, unplug the refrigerator or turn the temperature control dial to the OFF position. Remove the contents and wipe inside surfaces and shelves with a clean towel. If frost does not come off easily, allow the frost to melt somewhat and wipe off.

After defrosting, make sure inside surfaces are dry; then return the contents to the refrigerator, plug unit back in and set the temperature control to the desired setting.

Additionally, many of these models come equipped with Energy Star certification, ensuring efficient energy use, which translates to lower utility bills. Advanced cooling technologies, such as multi-flow air systems, help maintain an even temperature throughout the refrigerator, keeping food fresher for longer.

For smaller households or apartments, the GE 3 cubic foot models offer a perfect balance between capacity and compact design. These models tend to emphasize versatility, with sliding shelves and versatile door bins that can accommodate various food sizes. Many 3 cubic foot refrigerators feature frost-free technology, reducing the hassle of manual defrosting. They often come with LED lighting, which is brighter and longer-lasting than traditional bulbs, ensuring that food is easy to locate even in the back of the fridge.

The GE 2 cubic foot models are ideal for tight spaces such as dorm rooms, offices, or as additional refrigeration in a garage. Despite their smaller footprint, these models often include features such as adjustable thermostat controls, which allow users to regulate cooling levels based on their specific requirements. Many 2 cubic foot units also come with an integrated freezer compartment, ensuring that users can still store frozen items despite limited space. Their sleek designs often mesh well with modern aesthetics, making them not only functional but also visually appealing.
