IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, explosion, electric shock, or injury when using your refrigerator follow these basic safety precautions:

Before it is used, the appliance must be properly installed and located as described in this manual.

• Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner’s Manual.

• This refrigerator must be properly installed 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 store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

• Unplug or turn off your refrigerator before cleaning or 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 turned OFF or unplugged in order to avoid contact with a live wire filament. (A burned-out light bulb may break when being replaced.)

• Do not operate the unit where the temperature will go below 45°F (7.2°C) or above 120°F (49°C) (see Unit ON/OFF).

• Ensure the outdoor indoor refrigerator is not installed in a location prone to standing water.

• Choose a level location that can withstand 250 lbs.

• Route the power cord no that it does not present a trip hazard.

• Surface can be hot in direct sunlight conditions. Use caution.

• Ensure the chosen location does not present a tip-over situation.

• Make sure dishes cool prior to storing them in the refrigerator. Certain types of glass, ceramic, earthenware or other glazed utensils retain heat. Hot dishes can cause the cold glass shelves to break.

• The use of a GE Appliances Vaculm Break (service part #’s WR49X403 and WR49X10026) is not authorized on the refrigerator.

CAUTION

To reduce the risk of injury when using your refrigerator, follow these basic safety precautions.

• Do not Clean Glass shelves or Cover with Warm Water  when they are cold. Glass shelves and covers may break if exposed to sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping or dropping. Tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small pieces if it breaks.
• 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.

State of California Proposition 65 Warnings:

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

REFRIGERANTS

All refrigeration products contain refrigerants, which under federal law must be removed prior to product disposal. If you are getting rid of an old refrigeration product, check with the company handling the disposal about what to do.

WARNING

RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigeration products are still dangerous…even if they will sit for “just a few days.” If you are getting rid of your old appliance, please follow these instructions to help prevent accidents.

Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigeration Product:

• Take off the doors.
• Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.

DO NOT USE AN ADAPTER PLUG OR EXTENSION CORD

• Do not use an adapter plug to connect the refrigerator to a 2-prong outlet.
• Do not use an extension cord with this appliance.

HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

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, itis your personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.

The appliance 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 an appliance by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the 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 appliance, be careful not to roll over or damage the power cord.

Controls and Features

Temperature control

The operating temperatures of the beverage center range from 40°F to 65°F.Do not install the beverage center where the  temperature will go below 55°F or above 90°F.

The temperature display shows the actual  temperature of the beverage center. The  actual temperature may vary slightly from the set temperature based on factors such as door openings, amount of beverages and room temperature.

Wood drawer fronts

The full extension drawer fronts on the beverage center are unfinished cherry wood. During use, oil from hands may accumulate and stain the wood.

• The drawer fronts may be stained and sealed to match adjacent cabinetry. The tinted glass will make the stained wood appear darker. A true color match can be seen only when the door is opened.
• Apply the stain and sealer according to the manufacturer’s instructions. To avoid unpleasant odor, keep the door open to ventilate and allow the stain/sealer to dry completely before using the product.

NOTE: Natural wood may vary slightly in grain and color

Sabbath Mode

The Sabbath Mode was designed for use on the Jewish Sabbath and Holidays. The Sabbath Mode feature makes it possible for observant Jews to use the beverage center during the duration of the holiday.

The Sabbath Mode feature can be set to override typical reactions caused by your interaction with the beverage center. While in the Sabbath Mode, your appliance will still operate. However, it will not respond to your actions.

While in the Sabbath Mode, you may notice the fan running when the door is opened, however, this is not a result of your actions. The compressor and fan will operate at predetermined times.

ON/OFF – To activate the Sabbath Mode, press and hold down the Warmer and Interior Light buttons on the control panel for at least 7 seconds. SAb will be displayed on the control. SAb will remain in the display and all the control settings will be frozen and stay on the last mode before entering Sabbath Mode.

Controls and lights will not work until the Warmer and Interior Light buttons are held again for 7 seconds. The display will show “out” for 1 second and then resume the last operating mode.

Care and Cleaning

For your safety

WARNING : Electrical Shock Hazard.
Unplug the beverage center before cleaning. If the unit is in a built-in location, remove power at the circuit breaker.

Cleaning the outside

The exterior surfaces can be washed with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly with clear water. Never use abrasive scouring powders.

Do not use scouring pads, powdered cleaners, bleach or cleaners containing bleach because these products can scratch and damage the finish.

Warranty does not cover damage due to improper cleaning methods.

Glass door

Use a glass cleaner or mild soap and water and a soft cloth to clean the glass door. Do not use any abrasive powders.

Door gasket

The vinyl gasket may be cleaned with mild soap and water, a baking soda solution or a mild scouring powder. Rinse well.

After cleaning the door gasket, apply a thin layer of paraffin wax or petroleum jelly to the door gasket at the hinge side. This helps keep the gasket from sticking and bending out of shape.

Light bulb replacement

Unplug the beverage center before replacing the light bulb. If the unit is ina built-in location, remove power at the  circuit breaker.

To remove the light shield, push in the tab on the left side of the shield and lower it. Replace with a 15 watt appliance bulb or a 4.5 watt  UL Listed LED Lamp or call 800.GE.CARES (800.432.2737) during normal business hours to order service part.

In the event of a power failure

If the power fails, open the door as infrequently as possible to maintain the temperature.

Preparing to move

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

Be sure the beverage center stays in an upright position during moving.

Cleaning the inside

Unplug the beverage center before cleaning. If the unit is in a built-in location, remove power at the circuit breaker. Use a slightly damp cloth or sponge 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 liter) of water. This both cleans and neutralizes odors. Thoroughly rinse and wipe dry.

Other parts of the beverage center unit— including the door gaskets, full extension drawers and glass shelves—can be cleaned the same way.

CAUTION

void cleaning cold glass shelves with hot water because the extreme temperature difference may cause them to break. Handle glass shelves carefully. Rough handling of tempered glass can cause it to shatter.

Drain hole

Periodically check the drain hole and channel for any debris. If the drain is blocked, condensation will not drain properly.

To check and clean the drain hole, remove the bottom two glass shelves. Sweep a damp cloth along the channel in the back of the beverage center. Use a finger to sweep away any debris from the drain hole.
