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:

■

■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 allow anyone to climb, sit, stand or hang

on the Refreshment Center door. They could

damage the refrigerator and maybe even tip it

over, causing severe personal injury.

■■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

or position does

not remove power to the light circuit.

■

■Do not refreeze frozen foods which have

thawed completely.

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.

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 certified (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.

DANGER! RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING!

HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY

Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. For

personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.

The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a

3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a

standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to

minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard

from this appliance.

Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a

qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is

properly grounded.

Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is

encountered, it is your personal responsibility and

obligation to have it replaced with a properly

grounded 3-prong wall outlet.

The refrigerator should always be plugged into its

own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage

rating that matches the rating plate.

This provides the best performance and also

prevents overloading house wiring circuits which

could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires.

Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the

power cord. Always grip plug firmly and pull straight

out from the outlet.

Repair or replace immediately all power cords that

have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not

use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage

along its length or at either end.

When moving the refrigerator away from the

wall, be careful not to roll over or damage the

power cord.

USE OF ADAPTER PLUGS

(Adapter plugs not permitted in Canada)

Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against

the use of an adapter plug.

However, if you must use an adapter, where local

codes permit, a

temporary connection

may be made

to a properly grounded 2-prong wall outlet by use

of a UL-listed adapter available at most local

hardware stores.

The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned with

the larger slot in the wall outlet to provide proper

polarity in the connection of the power cord.

When disconnecting the power cord from the

adapter, always hold the adapter in place with one

hand while pulling the power cord plug with the

other hand. If this is not done, the adapter ground

terminal is very likely to break with repeated use.

If the adapter ground terminal breaks,

DO NOT USE

the refrigerator until a proper ground has been

established.

Attaching the adapter ground terminal to a wall outlet

cover screw does not ground the appliance unless the

cover screw is metal, and not insulated, and the wall

outlet is grounded through the house wiring. You should

have the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make

sure the outlet is properly grounded.

Read and follow this Safety Information carefully.

About the refreshment center.

On some models

The Refreshment Center Compartment stores frequently used items.

When open, the Refreshment Center door provides a convenient work surface. Although

durable, the work surface should not be used as a cutting board. Close the door when

finished. The upper fresh food compartment light will come on when the Refreshment

Center door is opened.

The special design of the door allows you to tilt and lift up the door in order to clean the

bottom of the frame.

NOTE: Use caution in closing or using the clean-out feature in the presence of small children.

Cold air entering from the freezer compartment keeps the temperature in the

Refreshment Center Compartment at proper food-keeping levels.

The bin panel limits the amount of cold air that escapes when the Refreshment Center

door is opened. To reach food from the inside, lift the panel up.

To remove the Refreshment Center bin, first remove the panel using the hand holds.

Then remove the bin by lifting it up and out.

Bottom of Frame

Automatic Icemaker

The icemaker will produce eight cubes per

cycle—approximately 120 cubes in a 24-hour

period, depending on freezer compartment

temperature, room temperature, number

of door openings and other use conditions.

If the refrigerator is operated before the

water connection is made to the icemaker,

keep the feeler arm in the

STOP

(up)

position.

When the refrigerator has been connected

to the water supply, move the feeler arm to

the

(down) position.

The icemaker will fill with water when it cools

to freezing. A newly-installed refrigerator may

take 8 to 12 hours to begin making ice cubes.

Throw away the first few batches of ice to

allow the water line to clear.

Be sure nothing interferes with the swing of

the feeler arm.

It is normal for several cubes to be joined

together.

If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes

will become cloudy and taste stale.

Important Facts About Your Dispenser

■Add ice before filling the glass with a

beverage.

■Do not add ice from trays or bags to

the storage bin. It may not crush or

dispense well.

■Avoid overfilling glass with ice and use of

narrow or extra-tall glasses. Backed-up ice

can jam the chute or cause the door in

the chute to freeze shut. If ice is blocking

the chute, poke it through with a wooden

spoon.

■Beverages and foods should not be

quick-chilled in the ice storage bin.

Cans, bottles or food packages in the

storage bin may cause the icemaker or

auger to jam.

■Some crushed ice may be dispensed even

though you selected

CUBED ICE.

This

happens occasionally when a few cubes

accidentally get directed to the crusher.

■After crushed ice is dispensed, some

water may drip from the chute.

■Sometimes a mound of snow will form on

the door in the ice chute. This condition

is normal and usually occurs when you

have dispensed crushed ice repeatedly.

The snow will eventually evaporate.

■Dispensed water is not ice cold. For

colder water, add crushed ice or cubes

before dispensing water.

Care and cleaning of the refrigerator.

Cleaning the Outside

Refreshment Center Compartment door—

outside.

It’s important that you use only

window cleaner without ammonia or a damp

cloth to clean the glass and trim. Avoid using

wax on the Refreshment Center door.

The dispenser well,

beneath the grille, should

be wiped dry. Water left in the well may leave

deposits. Remove the deposits by adding

undiluted vinegar to the well. Soak until the

deposits disappear or become loose enough

to rinse away.

The dispenser pad.

Clean with warm

water and baking soda solution—about a

tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda to a

quart (1 l) of water. Rinse thoroughly and

wipe dry.

HINT: Open the freezer door part way to prevent

dispensing of ice or water when cleaning.

The door handles and trim.

Clean with a cloth

dampened with soapy water. Dry with a

soft cloth.

The stainless steel panels and door handles

(on some models) can be cleaned with a

commercially available stainless steel

cleaner using a clean, soft cloth.

Keep the outside clean.

Wipe with a clean

cloth lightly dampened with kitchen

appliance wax or mild liquid dish detergent.

Dry and polish with a clean, soft cloth.

Do not wipe the refrigerator with a soiled dish

cloth or wet towel. These may leave a residue

that can erode the paint. Do not use scouring

pads, powdered cleaners, bleach or cleaners

containing bleach because these products can

scratch and weaken the paint finish.

Press here to

remove grille.

Cleaning the Inside

To help prevent odors,

leave an open box of

baking soda in the fresh food and freezer

compartments.

Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning.

If this

is not practical, wring excess moisture out of

sponge or cloth when cleaning around

switches, lights or controls.

Use warm water and baking soda solution—

about a tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda

to a quart (1 l) of water. This both cleans

and neutralizes odors. Rinse and wipe dry.

Door magnets can be cleaned the same way.

Refreshment Center Compartment door—inside.

Wipe up spills right away. Use one

tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda in one

quart (1 l) of water to clean the inside door

surface, Refreshment Center bin and inside

access door. Rinse, wipe dry.

Avoid cleaning cold glass shelves (on

some models) with hot water because

the extreme temperature difference may

cause them to break. Handle glass

shelves carefully. Bumping tempered

glass can cause it to shatter.

Do not wash any plastic refrigerator parts in

Cleaning the Decorator Door Panels

Clean these panels using an anti-static

cleaner or a mild detergent and water.

(Look for anti-static cleaner in electronic or

computer departments.) Rinse thoroughly

and blot dry with a clean, damp cloth or

chamois. Do not use paper towels to wash or

dry the panels. Do not use cleaners that

contain solvents, such as ammonia, because

they can damage the panels.

Shallow scratches and abrasions can be

corrected with a good grade of hard

automobile paste wax. The wax will fill in

any minor surface scratches and will help to

maintain the luster of the panels. Apply the

wax sparingly and buff lightly with a clean,

soft cloth using a circular motion. Do not

use a cleaner/wax combination.

it to position by pushing it straight in.

Moving the refrigerator in a side direction

may result in damage to the floor covering

or refrigerator.

When pushing the refrigerator back,

make sure you don’t roll over the power

cord or icemaker supply line.

Under the Refrigerator

For most efficient operation, keep the

area under the refrigerator clean. Remove

the base grille and sweep away or vacuum

up dust.

For best results, use a brush specially

designed for this purpose. It is available at

most appliance parts stores.

To remove the base grille,

open both

doors, grasp the bottom of the grille and

pull it out.

To replace the base grille,

line up the clips

on the back of the grille with the openings

Trim kits and decorator panels.

For CustomStyle models

Read these instructions completely and carefully.

Before You Begin

Some models are equipped with trim kits that allow you to install door panels. You can order pre-cut

black or white decorator panels from GE Parts and Accessories, 800-626-2002, or you can add wood

panels to match your kitchen cabinets.

Panels less than 1/4

″

(6 mm) thick

When installing wood panels less than 1/4 (6 mm) thick, you need to create a filler panel, such as 1/8″ ″

cardboard, that will fit between the face of the door and the wood panel. If you are installing the pre-cut

decorator panels, pre-cut filler panels are included in the kit. The combined thickness of the decorator or

wood panel and the filler panel should be 1/4 (6 mm).″

3/4

″

(19 mm) or Raised Panel

A raised panel design screwed or glued to a 1/4 (6 mm) thick backing, or a 3/4 (19 mm) routed board″ ″

can be used. The raised portion of the panel must be fabricated to permit clearances of at least 2 (51 mm)″

from the handle side for fingertip clearance.

Weight limitations for custom panels:

Installing the water line.

Read these instructions completely and carefully.

Before You Begin

When connecting a GE Reverse Osmosis Water System to your refrigerator, the only

approved installation is with a GE RVKIT.

If the water supply to the refrigerator is from a Reverse Osmosis Water Filtration System

AND the refrigerator also has a water filter, use the refrigerator’s filter bypass plug. Using

the refrigerator’s water filtration cartridge in conjunction with the RO filter can result in

hollow ice cubes and slower water flow from the water dispenser.

This water line installation is not warranted by the refrigerator or icemaker manufacturer.

Follow these instructions carefully to minimize the risk of expensive water damage.

Water hammer (water banging in the pipes) in house plumbing can cause damage to

refrigerator parts and lead to water leakage or flooding. Call a qualified plumber to correct

water hammer before installing the water supply line to the refrigerator.

To prevent burns and product damage, do not hook up the water line to the hot water line.

If you use your refrigerator before connecting the water line, make sure the icemaker

feeler arm is kept in the (up) position.STOP

Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas where temperatures fall below freezing.

When using any electrical device (such as a power drill) during installation, be sure the

device is insulated or wired in a manner to prevent the hazard of electric shock.

All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements.

What You Will Need

To determine how much copper tubing you need:

Measure the distance from the water valve on the back of the refrigerator to the water

supply pipe. Then add 8 feet (244 cm). Be sure there is sufficient extra tubing [about 8 feet

(244 cm) coiled into 3 turns of about 10 inches (25 cm) diameter] to allow the refrigerator to

move out from the wall after installation.

■

A water supply kit

(containing copper tubing, shutoff valve and fittings listed below) is

available at extra cost from your dealer or from Parts and Accessories, 800-626-2002.

■

Cold water supply.

The water pressure must be between 40 and 120 p.s.i.

■

Power drill.

■

Copper tubing,

1/4″ outer diameter to connect the refrigerator to the water supply. Be sure

both ends of the tubing are cut square.

Do not use plastic tubing or plastic fittings because the water supply line is under

pressure at all times. Certain types of plastic tubing may become brittle with age and

crack, resulting in water leakage.

■

Two 1/4

″

outer diameter compression nuts and 2 ferrules (sleeves)—

to connect the copper

tubing to the shutoff valve and the refrigerator water valve.

■If your existing water line has a flared fitting at the end, you will need an

adapter

(available at

plumbing supply stores) to connect the water line to the refrigerator

you can cut off the

flared fitting with a

tube cutter

and then use a compression fitting.

■

Shutoff valve

to connect to the cold water line. The shutoff valve should have a water inlet

with a minimum inside diameter of 5/32 at the point of connection to the ″

COLD WATER

LINE.

Saddle-type shutoff valves are included in many water supply kits. Before purchasing,

make sure a saddle-type valve complies with your local plumbing codes.

Installing the water line.

Connect the Tubing to the Refrigerator

Before making the connection to the

refrigerator, be sure the refrigerator power

cord is not plugged into the wall outlet.

We recommend installing a water filter if your water

supply has sand or particles that could clog the

screen of the refrigerator’s water valve. Install it in

the water line near the refrigerator.

Remove the plastic flexible cap from the water

valve.

Place the compression nut and ferrule (sleeve)

onto the end of the tubing as shown.

Insert the end of the copper tubing into the

water valve connection as far as possible. While

holding the tubing, tighten the fitting.

Fasten the copper tubing into the clamp

provided to hold it in position. You may

need to pry open the clamp.

One of the illustrations below will look like the connection

on your refrigerator.

Turn the Water On at the Shutoff Valve

Tighten any connections that leak.

Plug In the Refrigerator

Arrange the coil of copper tubing so that it does not

vibrate against the back of the refrigerator or against

the wall.

Push the refrigerator back to the wall.

Start the Icemaker

Set the icemaker feeler arm to the

(down)

position. The icemaker will not begin to operate

until it reaches its operating temperature of 15°F.

(-9°C.) or below. It will then begin operation

automatically if the icemaker feeler arm is in the

(down) position.

NOTE: The icemaker may double-cycle when it first starts,

causing some water spillage from the icemaker into the

ice bucket. This is normal and should not happen again.

Icemaker

The icemaker water valve will buzz when the icemaker fills with water. If the feeler

arm is in the

(down) position it will buzz even if it has not yet been hooked up

to water. Keeping the feeler arm in the

(down) position before it is hooked up

to water can damage the icemaker. To prevent this, raise the feeler arm to the

STOP

(up) position. This will stop the buzzing.

The sound of cubes dropping into the bin and water running in pipes as

Mesures de sécurité Installation

MESURES DE SÉCURITÉ IMPORTANTES.

LISEZ D’ABORD TOUTES LES DIRECTIVES.

AVERTISSEMENT!

N’utilisez cet électroménager que pour l’usage auquel il est destiné, comme expliqué dans le présent manuel.

MESURES DE SÉCURITÉ

Lorsque vous utilisez un appareil électrique, observez toujours les mesures de sécurité de base,

y compris les suivantes.

■Installez le réfrigérateur conformément aux

directives d’installation avant de l’utiliser.

■Ne laissez pas les enfants grimper, s’asseoir, se

tenir debout ni se pendre aux clayettes du

réfrigérateur. Ils pourraient endommager le

réfrigérateur et se blesser gravement.

■Ne laissez personne grimper, s’asseoir, se tenir

debout ou se pendre à la porte du Centre de

Rafraîchissements. On pourrait endommager le

réfrigérateur et se blesser gravement.

■Ne touchez pas les surfaces froides du congélateur

si vous avez les mains humides ou mouillées : la

peau risque d’adhérer à ces surfaces très froides.

■N’entreposez et n’utilisez pas d’essence ou autres

vapeurs et liquides inflammables à proximité de cet

appareil ou de tout autre appareil électroménager.

■Ne recongelez pas les aliments surgelés qui ont

complètement dégelé.

■Si votre réfrigérateur est doté d’une machine à

glaçons automatique évitez le contact avec les

pièces mobiles du mécanisme éjecteur, ou avec

l’élément chauffant qui libère les glaçons. Ne

posez pas les doigts ou les mains sur le mécanisme

de la machine à glaçons pendant que le

réfrigérateur est branché.

■Éloignez les doigts des parties du réfrigérateur où

l’on peut facilement se pincer : les espaces entre

les portes et entre les portes et les placards sont

toujours étroits. Soyez prudent lorsque vous fermez

les portes de l’appareil en présence des enfants.

■Débranchez votre réfrigérateur avant de le

nettoyer ou de le réparer.

REMARQUE : Nous vous recommandons vivement de confier

toute réparation à un technicien qualifié.

■Lorsque vous réglez la commande sur

OFF

(éteint)

ou , l’alimentation électrique de l’ampoule

n’est pas coupée.

COMMENT VOUS DÉBARRASSER

CONVENABLEMENT DE VOTRE ANCIEN RÉFRIGÉRATEUR

Les enfants pris au piège ou morts d’asphyxie sont

toujours d’actualité. Les réfrigérateurs abandonnés

sont toujours aussi dangereux, même si on n’attend

que «quelques jours» pour s’en débarrasser. Si vous

ne gardez pas votre ancien réfrigérateur, veuillez

suivre les directives ci-dessous afin de prévenir les

accidents.

Avant de vous débarrasser de votre ancien

réfrigérateur ou congélateur :

■Démontez les portes.

■Laissez les clayettes en place afin d’empêcher les

enfants de grimper à l’intérieur.

Se débarrasser du CFC

Votre ancien réfrigérateur a un système de

refroidissement qui a utilisé les CFC

(chlorofluorocarbones). Les CFC sont jugés nocifs

pour l’ozone stratosphérique.

Si vous vous débarrassez de votre ancien

réfrigérateur, assurez-vous que le frigorigène avec

CFC soit enlevé correctement par un technicien

qualifié. Si vous libérez intentionnellement ce

frigorigène avec CFC vous pouvez être soumis aux

contraventions et à l’emprisonnement sous

provisions des lois sur l’environnement.

CORDONS PROLONGATEURS

Nous vous recommandons fortement de ne pas utiliser de cordons prolongateurs à cause des risques

potentiels qu’ils présentent dans certaines conditions.

Toutefois si vous décidez d’utiliser tout de même un cordon prolongateur, il est absolument nécessaire

qu’il s’agisse d’un cordon à 3 fils avec mise à la terre pour appareils électroménagers homologué UL

(aux États-Unis) ou certifié CSA (au Canada), pourvu d’une fiche et d’une prise mises à la terre

de 15 ampères (minimum) et de 120 volts. 41

DANGER! RISQUES POUR LES ENFANTS

MESURES DE SÉCURITÉ IMPORTANTES.

LISEZ D’ABORD TOUTES LES DIRECTIVES.

AVERTISSEMENT!

RACCORDEMENT ÉLECTRIQUE

Ne coupez ni retirez en aucun cas la troisième broche (mise à la terre) de la fiche du cordon

d’alimentation. Pour votre sécurité, cet appareil doit être correctement mis à la terre.

Le cordon d’alimentation de cet appareil est muni

d’une fiche à 3 broches (mise à la terre) qui se

branche dans une prise murale ordinaire à 3

alvéoles (mise à la terre) pour réduire au minimum

les risques de chocs électriques.

Faites examiner la prise de courant et le circuit par

un électricien qualifié pour vous assurer que la prise

est correctement mise à la terre.

Si la prise murale est du type standard à 2 alvéoles, il

vous incombe de la faire remplacer par une prise à 3

alvéoles correctement mise à la terre.

Le réfrigérateur doit toujours être branché dans sa

propre prise de courant, dont la tension nominale est

identique à celle indiquée sur la plaque signalétique.

Cette précaution est recommandée pour garantir

un rendement optimum et éviter une surcharge des

circuits électriques de la résidence, ce qui pourrait

créer un risque d’incendie par surchauffe des fils.

Ne débranchez jamais le réfrigérateur en tirant sur le

cordon d’alimentation. Saisissez fermement la fiche

du cordon et tirez droit pour la retirer de la prise.

Réparez ou remplacez immédiatement tout cordon

effiloché ou endommagé. N’utilisez pas un cordon

fendillé ou présentant des signes d’usure.

Lorsque vous déplacez votre réfrigérateur du mur,

faites attention de ne pas le faire rouler sur le cordon

d’alimentation afin de ne pas l’endommager.

FICHE D’ADAPTATION

(Fiches d’adaptation non permises au Canada)

Nous vous recommandons fortement de ne pas utiliser une fiche d’adaptation à cause des risques

potentiels qu’elle présente dans certaines circonstances.

Toutefois, si vous décidez d’utiliser tout de même

une fiche d’adaptation, vous pouvez effectuer un

raccordement temporaire,

si les codes locaux le

permettent, dans une prise de courant à 2 alvéoles

adéquatement mise à la terre en utilisant une fiche

d’adaptation homologuée UL, en vente dans la

plupart des quincailleries.

La fente la plus longue de la fiche doit être alignée

avec la fente la plus longue de la prise murale afin

d’assurer la polarité appropriée pour le

branchement du cordon d’alimentation.

Lorsque vous débranchez le cordon d’alimentation

de la fiche d’adaptation, saisissez toujours la fiche

d’une main pendant que vous tirez sur la fiche du

cordon d’alimentation de l’autre. Sinon,

la borne de mise à la terre de la fiche d’adaptation

risque de casser avec le temps.

Si la borne de mise à la terre de la fiche casse,

N’UTILISEZ PAS

l’appareil tant qu’une mise à la terre

adéquate n’aura pas été rétablie.

Le fait de fixer la borne de mise à la terre de la fiche

d’adaptation à la plaque de la prise de courant n’assure

pas automatiquement la mise à la terre de l’appareil. Il

faut que la vis soit en métal, non isolée, et que la prise de

courant soit mise à la terre par l’entremise du câblage de

la résidence. Faites vérifier le circuit par un électricien

qualifié pour vous assurer que la prise est adéquatement

mise à la terre.

Veuillez lire et suivre attentivement ces mesures de sécurité.

Vérification de la température

Pour le réfrigérateur, placez un récipient de lait sur la clayette supérieure. Vérifiez-le le lendemain. Si le lait

est trop chaud ou trop froid, réglez la température en conséquence.

Pour le congélateur, placez un récipient de crème glacée au centre du congélateur. Vérifiez-la le

lendemain. Si la crème glacée est trop dure ou trop molle, réglez la température en conséquence.

Après avoir réglé les commandes, attendez 24 heures pour laisser le réfrigérateur atteindre la température que vous avez réglée.

Au départ, réglez les deux commandes à 5.

Si vous désirez augmenter ou abaisser la température, réglez d’abord celle du compartiment réfrigérateur. Lorsque vous

êtes satisfait du réglage du réfrigérateur, ajustez la température du congélateur.

Système Quick Serve

ATTENTION : Ces récipients et leurs

couvercles ne sont pas conçus pour être

utilisés dans un four standard, sur une

cuisinière ou dans une rôtissoire. Une

telle utilisation peut être dangereuse.

Les récipients Quick Serve TM font gagner de

la place en se rangeant dans un support

situé sous la clayette. Le support peut être

installé n’importe où dans le compartiment

réfrigérateur.

Les récipients et leurs couvercles peuvent

être utilisés au four à micro-ondes, au

réfrigérateur et au congélateur.

Ne les utilisez pas pour cuire des aliments à

haute teneur en graisse, comme le bacon, ou

ceux qui contiennent beaucoup de sucre,

comme les bonbons et les sirops. Les hautes

températures des graisses et des sucres

risquent de provoquer la formation de bulles

à l’intérieur du récipient.

Enlèvement des bacs de rangement.

Toutes les caractéristiques ne sont pas disponibles sur tous les modèles.

Les portes du réfrigérateur.

Enlèvement des bacs

Ces bacs peuvent être facilement enlevés en

les inclinant légèrement puis en les tirant

au-delà de leurs

butées.

Retirez les balconnets de porte de la porte du

réfrigérateur avant de retirer les bacs.

Pour enlever la clayette au-dessus du bac

supérieur, retirez d’abord le bac supérieur

et tous les aliments rangés sur la clayette.

Ensuite, inclinez la clayette à l’avant,

enlevez-la et dégagez-la des guides.

Pour remplacer la clayette, soulevez l’avant

de la clayette et mettez les crochets

supérieurs dans les fentes des grandes

guides les plus basses. Ensuite, abaissez

l’avant de la clayette jusqu’à ce qu’elle soit à

niveau.

Si la porte vous empêche d’enlever les bacs,

vous aurez besoin d’avancer le réfrigérateur

jusqu’à ce que la porte puisse s’ouvrir

complètement. Dans certains cas vous aurez

besoin de déplacer le réfrigérateur vers la

gauche en le roulant.

Guides des bacs

Lorsque vous remettez les bacs en

place, assurez-vous de bien les

faire glisser sur les deux guides

aménagés du côté droit.

Portes du réfrigérateur

Les portes de votre réfrigérateur ne sont

pas tout à fait comme celles dont vous

avez l’habitude. Un système spécial

d’ouverture/fermeture assure que les

portes ferment complètement et

hermétiquement.

Lorsque vous ouvrez et fermez les portes,

vous remarquerez qu’elles sont munies

d’une position

d’arrêt.

Si vous ouvrez la

porte au delà de cette position

d’arrêt,

elle

restera ouverte afin de vous permettre de

ranger et de prendre vos aliments plus

facilement. Lorsque la porte est

partiellement ouverte, elle se ferme

automatiquement.

L’impression de résistance que vous

ressentez à la position

d’arrêt

diminue

lorsque des aliments sont rangés dans la

porte.

Lorsque la porte est partiellement

ouverte, elle se ferme automatiquement.

Au delà de cette position la ported’arrêt

restera ouverte.

Machine à glaçons automatique

La machine à glaçons produira environ 8

glaçons par cycle—soit environ 120 glaçons

toutes les 24 heures—selon la température

du congélateur, la température ambiante,

la fréquence d’ouverture des portes et

d’autres conditions d’utilisation.

Si vous mettez votre réfrigérateur en

marche avant que la machine à glaçons ne

soit alimentée en eau, maintenez le bras

régulateur de la machine à glaçons à la

position

STOP

(ARRÊT—relevé).

Lorsque la conduite d’eau est raccordée au

réfrigérateur, abaissez le bras régulateur à la

position

(MARCHE—abaissé).

La machine à glaçons se remplit d’eau

lorsqu’elle atteint le point de congélation.

Il faut prévoir entre 8 et 12 heures avant

qu’un réfrigérateur nouvellement installé

commence à produire des glaçons.

Jetez les premiers lots de glaçons afin

d’éliminer les impuretés provenant de la

conduite d’eau.

Assurez-vous que rien ne gêne le

mouvement du bras régulateur.

Il est normal que plusieurs glaçons soient

collés entre eux.

Lorsque vous n’utilisez pas souvent de

glaçons, les vieux glaçons perdent leur

transparence et prennent un goût

désagréable.

Le distributeur d’eau et de glaçons.

Sur certains modèles

Pour utiliser le distributeur

Appuyez le bord du verre doucement

contre la commande de distribution.

Sélectionnez

CUBED ICE

(glaçons),

CRUSHED ICE

[glace concassée (sur

certains modèles)] ou

WATER

(eau).

Le bac de trop-plein n’est pas muni d’un

système d’écoulement. Le bac de trop-plein et

sa grille doivent être nettoyés régulièrement.

S’il n’y a pas d’eau distribuée lorsque le

réfrigérateur est initialement installé, il y a peut-être

de l’air dans la conduite d’eau. Appuyez sur la

commande de distribution pendant deux minutes au

minimum pour expulser l’air de la conduite d’eau et

remplir le réservoir d’eau. Afin d’éliminer les

éventuelles impuretés provenant de la conduite d’eau,

jetez les six premiers verres d’eau.

Un commutateur électrique (sur certains

modèles) allume ou éteint la

veilleuse

dans le

distributeur. La lumière s’allume également

lorsqu’on appuie sur la commande de

distribution. Lorsque l’ampoule de la

veilleuse est grillée, remplacez-la par une

ampoule de 7 watts maximum.

ATTENTION : Ne mettez jamais les doigts

ou d’autres objets dans l’ouverture du

distributeur.
