When you goon
vacation

For extended vacations or
absences, 
shut off power to
refrigerator, turn the numbered
control to OFF, clean interior with
baking soda solution of one
tablespoon of soda to one quart of
water. Wipe dry. To prevent odors,

leave open box of soda in
refrigerator. Leave doors open.

For shorter vacations, remove
perishable foods and leave controls
at regular settings. However, if
room temperature is expected to
drop below 

 follow same

instructions as for extended
vacations.

Move 

 feeler arm to OFF

(up) position and be sure to shut
off water supply to the refrigerator.

When you move

Disconnect power cord from wall
outlet, remove all food and clean
and dry the interior.

Secure all loose items such as
grille, shelves and storage pans by
taping them securely in place to
prevent damage.

Be sure refrigerator stays in
upright position  during actual
moving and in van. Refrigerator
must be secured in van to prevent
movement. Protect outside of
refrigerator with blanket.

Water 
accessory

The perfect companion to

your automatic 

a water filter

Your ice cubes can only
be as fresh-tasting as the
water that produces
them. That’s why it’s a
good idea to purify your
water with a water filter.

Its activated charcoal
removes musty, stale
odors and unpleasant
medicinal, metallic
tastes. A porous fiber
cartridge catches dirt,
rust particles, sand and
silt while special crystals
reduce deposits of
hard scale.

The water filter is an option at

extra cost and is available from
your GE dealer. Specify

 It has complete

installation instructions and installs
in minutes on 1/4” 

 copper

water line.

2. Remove shelf just below light

shield. (Shelf will be easier to

remove if it is emptied first.)

3. Pull plastic light shield toward

you. (It will bend to free tabs from
grooves.)
