NOTE: The refrigerator is shipped with protective film covering the temperature controls. If this film was not

removed during installation, remove it now.

The temperature controls are preset in the factory at 37°F (3°C)

for the refrigerator compartment and 0°F (-18°C) for the freezer

compartment. Allow 24 hours for the temperature to stabilize

to the preset recommended settings.
Refrigerator temperatures can be adjusted between 34°F and 46°F

(1°C to 8°C), and the freezer temperatures can be adjusted between

–6°F and +8°F (–21°C to –13°C).

you adjust the controls, allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to

reach the temperature you have set.

for the refrigerator to reach the temperature you have set.
The temperature controls can display both the SET temperature

as well as the actual temperature in the refrigerator and freezer.

The actual temperature may vary slightly from the SET temperature

based on usage and operating environment.

The Performance Air-Flow System is designed

to maximize temperature control in the refrigerator and

freezer compartments. This unique special feature consists

of the Air Tower along the back wall of the refrigerator and

the Air Tunnel on the bottom portion of the freezer rear wall.

Placing food in front of the louvers on these components will

not affect performance. Although the Air Tower and the Air

Tunnel can be removed, doing so will affect temperature

performance. (For removal instructions, on-line, contact

us at ge.com or call 800.GE.CARES. In Canada, contact us

at geappliances.ca or call 1.800.561.3344.)
