IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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

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

• This refrigerator must be properly installed and located in accordance with the Installation Instructions before it is used.

• Unplug the refrigerator before making repairs, replacing a light bulb, or cleaning.
  NOTE: Power to the refrigerator cannot be disconnected by any setting on the control panel.
  NOTE: Repairs must be performed by a qualified Service Professional.

• Replace all parts and panels before operating.

• Do not use an extension cord.

• Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

• Do not store explosive substances such as aerosol cans with a flammable propellant in this appliance.

• To prevent suffocation and entrapment hazards to children, remove the fresh food and freezer doors from any refrigerator before disposing of it or discontinuing its use.

• To avoid serious injury or death, children should not stand on or play in or with the appliance.

• Children and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge can use this appliance only if they are supervised or have been given instructions on safe use and understand the hazards involved.

• This appliance is intended to be used in household and similar applications such as staff kitchen areas in shops, offices, and other working environments; farm houses; by clients in hotels, motels, bed & breakfast, and other residential environments; catering and similar non-retail applications.

• 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 so that it does not present a trip hazard.

• The 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.

• 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.
• This unit is designed for storing and cooling beverages. Do not store perishable foods in this unit.

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

PROPER DISPOSAL OF YOUR OLD APPLIANCE

WARNING SUFFOCATION AND ENTRAPMENT HAZARD
Failure to follow these disposal instructions can result in death or serious injury
IMPORTANT: 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 Appliance

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

Refrigerant and Foam Disposal:
Dispose of appliances in accordance with Federal and Local Regulations. Flammable insulation material used requires special disposal procedures. Contact your local authorities for the environmentally safe disposal of your appliance.

CONNECTING ELECTRICITY

WARNING ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet.
Do not remove the ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

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 hazards 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 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.
Immediately discontinue the use of a damaged supply cord. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a qualified service professional with an authorized service part from the manufacturer.
When moving the appliance, be careful not to roll over or damage the power cord.

Temperature control

The operating temperatures of the beverage center range from 40°F (4.4°C) to 65°F (18.3°C).
Do not install the beverage center where the temperature will go below 55°F (12.8°C) or above 90°F (32.2°C).
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. After making adjustments, allow 12 to 24 hours for the beverage center to reach the temperature you have set and before making any further adjustments. The factory setting is 45°F (7.2°C).
To change the temperature settings,
Press the + and – pads until you reach the desired set temperature. After several seconds, the display will return to the actual temperature. The actual temperature will be displayed while the unit moves toward the set temperature.
Allow 12 to 24 hours for the beverage center to reach the temperature you have set and before making any adjustments to the initial setting.

Child control lockout

This child control lockout feature prevents unwanted changes to your temperature settings.
After the desired temperature is set, the temperature can be locked. To lock, press both the + and – pads at the same time for five seconds. To unlock, press both + and – pads for five seconds.
Interior light and light pad
The interior light makes it easy to view your beverage labels and enhances the display of your collection.
When the pad is depressed and the word ON is displayed, the light will remain on for one hour before automatically turning off. When the pad is depressed and the word OFF is displayed, the light will come on only when the door is opened. For best viewing, do not store a bottle on the top shelf directly under the light. Remember to turn off the light when it is no longer needed.

Controls and Features

Glass shelves
Tempered glass shelves in the beverage center unit are removable for easy cleaning or for storing larger items.
To remove a shelf, open the door completely to avoid potential damage to the gasket. Lift up on the back of the shelf slightly. Tilt the shelf to one side at an angle while pulling forward.
To replace a shelf, open the door completely to avoid potential damage to the gasket. Tilt the shelf to one side at an angle and slide toward the back wall, placing one side onto the shelf support. Place the other side onto the opposite shelf support. Ensure rear locking tabs are engaged. When installed properly, the shelf will not slide forward when gently pulled.

QuickSpace™ shelf

This shelf splits in half and slides under itself for storage of tall items on the shelf below.
Step 1: Lift the back edge of the front half of the shelf.
Step 2: Pull slightly forward.
Step 3: Lower the back edge of the front half of the shelf while sliding it underneath the back half.
The entire Quick Space shelf can be removed and replaced (see Glass Shelves section).

Loading tips and suggestions

The bottom two full-extension drawers hold five bottles each and are loaded with necks facing the rear. Tall bottles should not be loaded on the bottom drawer because they may prevent the door from closing.

• Do not block the thermistor, located on the right-hand side, just above the third shelf of the beverage center. Blocking the thermistor could impair the air circulation and
  temperature control.
  

NOTE: This unit is for storing beverages only and is not intended for the storage of perishable foods.

Removing full extension drawers
The bottom full extension drawers pull out so bottles can conveniently be added or removed. The upper full extension slide can be removed for magnums or larger bottles.
To remove:

1. Pull the full extension drawer out to the STOP position.
2. Push the tab on the right drawer guide down while pulling the tab on the left guide up, and pull the drawer out.

To replace:

1. Push the drawer slide arm back into the unit.
2. Pull the small slide sub-assembly completely forward.
3. Insert the sides of the drawer back into the guides.
4. Push until the tabs lock into place.
   

NOTE: Make sure the tabs on the full extension drawer guides are fully engaged before loading any bottles. Pull the drawers out all the way to the STOP position and push back in several times to make sure locking tabs are properly engaged.

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 + and 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 + and 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.
Glassdoor
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

WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard.
Unplug the beverage center before replacing the light bulb. If the unit is in a 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 parts.

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
Avoid cleaning cold glass shelves with hot water because the extreme temperature difference may cause them to break. Handle glass shelves carefully. The 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.

Normal operating sounds

Newer appliances sound different from older appliances. Modern appliances have more features and use newer technology.

Do you hear what I hear? These sounds are normal.

• The new high-efficiency compressor may run faster and longer than your old appliance and you may hear a high-pitched hum or pulsating sounds while it is operating.

• Sometimes the appliance runs for an extended period, especially when the doors are opened frequently.

• You may hear a whooshing sound when the doors close. This is due to pressure equalizing within the appliance.

• You may hear the fans spinning at high speeds. This happens when the appliance is first plugged in, when the door is opened frequently or when large amounts of beverages are added to the appliance. The fans help maintain desired temperatures.

• If the door is open for over 3 minutes, you may hear a fan come on in order to cool the appliance.

• The fans change speeds in order to provide optimal cooling and energy savings.

CLICKS, POPS, CRACKS and CHIRPS

• You may hear cracking or popping sounds when the appliance is first plugged in. This happens as the appliance cools to the correct temperature.
• Expansion and contraction of cooling coils during and after defrost can cause cracking or popping sounds.
• The electronic control board may cause a clicking sound when relays activate to control appliance components.

WATER SOUNDS

• The flow of refrigerant through the appliance cooling coils may make a gurgling noise like boiling water.
• A water dripping noise may occur as water from the evaporator flows into the drain pan.
• Closing the door may cause a gurgling sound due to pressure equalization.
