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 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) 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-listed (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.

This method significantly raises the overall efficiency, often exceeding 60%, which is a benchmark in modern power generation.

Technologically, the GE 20-27 employs advanced materials and components that enhance its durability and performance. The turbine blades are made from high-strength alloys and ceramic matrix composites, designed to withstand extreme temperatures and stresses. This focus on materials science not only improves the longevity of the turbine but also enhances its performance, allowing it to operate under a wide range of conditions.

The turbine incorporates cutting-edge aerodynamic design principles to increase airflow and optimize combustion efficiency. With its innovative combustion system, the GE 20-27 achieves lower emissions, contributing to cleaner power production. This aspect is particularly vital in a world increasingly concerned with climate change and pollution. The reduced nitrogen oxides (NOx) and carbon emissions make the GE 20-27 a viable option for utilities looking to enhance their environmental profile.

Additionally, the GE 20-27 features advanced digital capabilities through GE's Digital Wind Farm initiatives. This integration allows operators to monitor performance in real-time, utilizing data analytics to predict maintenance needs and optimize operational efficiency. The predictive maintenance capability transforms the way operators manage power generation, leading to reduced downtime and increased reliability.

Another characteristic worth noting is the flexibility of the GE 20-27 to run on various fuels, including natural gas and renewable sources. This versatility allows operators to adapt to changing market conditions and regulatory environments without significant investments in new infrastructure.

In conclusion, the GE 20-27 turbine model showcases a harmonious blend of efficiency, technology, and environmental responsibility. Through advanced design and materials, coupled with digital innovation, it stands as a hallmark of modern energy solutions, capable of addressing both the present and future needs of the global energy landscape.
