Defrosting (on manual defrost models only)

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

1/4thick. 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.

Preparing for Vacation

For long vacations or absences, remove food and unplug the refrigerator. Move the control to the OFF position, and clean the interior with a baking soda solution of one tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda to one quart (1 liter) of water. Leave the door open.

Preparing to Move

Secure all loose items such as shelves and ice trays by taping them securely in place to prevent damage.

Be sure the refrigerator stays in an upright position during moving.

Many models come equipped with Wi-Fi connectivity, allowing users to control their refrigerator remotely via a smartphone app. This technology enables users to monitor temperatures, receive alerts about door status, and even create grocery lists based on what’s inside the fridge.

Additionally, the GE Cubic Foot refrigerators are built to last, with durable materials and a robust design that can withstand daily use. Many models also feature stainless steel finishes that not only look modern and sleek but are also resistant to fingerprints and smudges, making maintenance easy.
