Safety Instructions

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:

Instructions Operating 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.

■Setting the freezer control to the O (off) position does not remove power to the light circuit.

■Do not refreeze frozen foods which have thawed completely.

■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.

DANGER! RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT

PROPER DISPOSAL OF THE REFRIGERATOR

Troubleshooting Tips

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.

Refrigerants

All refrigeration products contain refrigerants, which under federal law must be removed prior to product disposal. If you are getting rid of an old refrigeration product, check with the company handling the disposal about what to do.

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.

20 specifications

The GE 20,22 series engines represent a significant evolution in aviation technology, embodying advancements that enhance efficiency, reliability, and environmental sustainability. As part of General Electric's commitment to innovation in aerospace propulsion, these engines are designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern commercial aviation while minimizing their environmental footprint.

One of the main features of the GE 20,22 engines is their high bypass ratio, which plays an integral role in achieving improved fuel efficiency. By maximizing the amount of air bypassing the engine core, these engines produce more thrust without a proportional increase in fuel consumption. This characteristic makes them ideal for long-haul operations, effectively reducing operating costs for airlines.

The engines also incorporate advanced materials and manufacturing techniques. The use of lightweight composite materials in fan blades and cases contributes to overall weight reduction, enhancing performance without sacrificing durability. Additionally, the integration of advanced ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) in critical components allows for higher operating temperatures, thereby increasing efficiency and reducing emissions.

Technologically, the GE 20,22 series engines are equipped with state-of-the-art digital control systems. These systems provide precise monitoring and adjustments during operation, leading to optimal performance and reduced maintenance requirements. The implementation of real-time data analytics allows for predictive maintenance, enabling operators to anticipate issues before they arise, thereby improving overall reliability.

Noise reduction is another critical characteristic of the GE 20,22 engines. They feature designs and technologies that significantly diminish noise levels during operation, addressing the growing concerns of communities around airports. This commitment to reducing noise, in conjunction with lower emissions, aligns with global efforts to create a more sustainable aviation industry.

Finally, the GE 20,22 engines are compatible with alternative fuels, showcasing General Electric’s forward-thinking approach to sustainability. As the aviation sector moves towards greener solutions, these engines are positioned to use biofuels and synthetic fuels, further decreasing their ecological impact.

In conclusion, the GE 20,22 series engines embody the latest in aerospace technology with their efficiency, reduced emissions, advanced materials, and noise reduction capabilities. Their design not only meets the needs of today’s airlines but also contributes to the industry's path towards a more sustainable future.
