GE 162D7740P005 - Manual (Page 3)

• Unplug your refrigerator before cleaning
and making repairs. NOTE: We strongly
recommend that any servicing be performed
by a qualified individual.
• Before replacing a burned-out light bulb, the
refrigerator should be unplugged in order to avoid
contact with a live wire filament. (A burned-out
light bulb may break when being replaced.)
NOTE: Turning control to “0” position does
not remove power to the light circuit.
• Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable
vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any
other appliance.
Mains lead replacement
If the mains lead on your refrigerator needs replacing
at any time, it must be replaced by a special lead which
is obtainable from your local dealer. A charge will be
made for the replacement of the mains lead if you have
damaged the lead.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL
The temperature controls in your refrigerator have letters and
numbers. Initially set the frozen food storage compartment control at
“C” and the fresh food control at “4.”
The fresh food control
maintains the temperatures
throughout the refrigerator.
Moving the fresh food control
to “0” stops cooling in both
areas—fresh food and frozen food
storage compartments—but does
not shut off power to
the refrigerator.
The frozen food storage
compartment control moves
a damper to change the
amount of cold air that
moves from the frozen food
storage compartment to the
fresh food compartment.
Effervescent drinks should
not be stored in the frozen food storage compartment.

Anti-Moisture Switch No Defrosting
The anti-moisture switch is located on the
temperature control panel. To reduce the amount of
electricity required to operate your refrigerator,
push switch to the left.
This turns off the unit in your refrigerator that
prevents moisture from forming on the inside or
outside surfaces.
With this unit turned off, moisture may form on the
inside or outside of your refrigerator, especially when the weather is
humid. The humidity is most likely to be high in the summer, in the
early morning hours, and in homes which are not air conditioned.
Over an extended period of time, moisture that forms on the
refrigerator surface may cause deterioration of the paint finish. It will
be important to protect the finish by using appliance polish wax as
described in the Care & Cleaning section.
The cost to operate the low-wattage unit is about the same as it costs
to use two night lights.
When you move the anti-moisture switch to the right, low wattage
electricity flows through the unit and warms the outside of the
refrigerator and the top of the fresh food section. Under most
conditions, this prevents the forming of moisture or water droplets.
It is not necessary to defrost the frozen food storage compartment
or fresh food compartments. Although your refrigerator is designed
and equipped to defrost itself automatically, some frost on packages
is normal.
How to Test Temperatures
Use the milk test for the fresh food compartment. Place a
container of milk on the top shelf in the fresh food compartment.
Check it a day later. If the milk is too warm or too cold, adjust the
temperature controls.
Use the ice cream test for the frozen food storage compartment.
Place a container of ice cream in the center of the frozen food storage
compartment. Check it after a day. If it’s too hard or too soft, adjust
the temperature controls.
After changing the controls, always allow 24 hours for the
refrigerator to reach the temperature you have set.
