Operating Instructions

Stainless Steel Refrigerator

Temperature controls

The temperature controls are preset in the factory at 37°F for the fresh food 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 fresh food and freezer compartments. The actual temperature may vary slightly from the SET temperature based on usage and operating environment.

Setting either or both controls to OFF stops cooling in both the freezer and fresh food compartments, but 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.

To change the temperature, press and release the (warmer) or (colder) pad. The SET light will come on and the display will show the set temperature. To change the temperature, tap either the (warmer) or (colder) pad until the desired temperature is displayed. Fresh food temperatures can be adjusted between 34°F and 44°F and the freezer temperatures can be adjusted between

-6°F and +6°F.

Once the desired temperature has been set, the temperature display will return to the actual fresh food and freezer temperatures after 5 seconds. Several adjustments may be required. Each time you adjust controls, allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to reach the temperature you have set.

To turn the cooling system off, tap the

(warmer) pad for either the fresh food compartment or the freezer until the display shows OFF. To turn the unit back on, press the (colder) pad for either the fresh food compartment or freezer. The SET light will illuminate on the side you selected. Then press the (colder) pad again (on the side where the SET light is illuminated) and it will go to the preset points of 0°F for the freezer and 37°F for the fresh food compartment.

Performance

Air Flow

System

The Performance Air-Flow System is designed to maximize temperature control in the fresh food and freezer compartments. This unique special feature consists of the Air Tower along the top and back walls of the fresh food compartment 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, 24 hours a day, contact us at ge.com or call 800.444.1845. In Canada, call us at 1.888.880.3030.)

This capability includes temperature adjustments and alerts for maintenance issues, ensuring peace of mind for homeowners.

Energy efficiency is a crucial characteristic of these refrigerators. GE designs them with Energy Star certification, meaning that they consume less energy without compromising performance. This not only reduces electricity bills but also underscores a commitment to sustainable practices in appliance manufacturing.

Inside the GE side-by-side refrigerator, adjustable shelves and door bins provide customizable storage options.
