This document describes a GE Profile Bottom Freezer Refrigerator, models 20, 22, and 23, offering comprehensive information on its operation, installation, and maintenance.
The GE Profile Bottom Freezer Refrigerator is designed to store food items at optimal temperatures, with separate compartments for fresh food (refrigerator) and frozen food (freezer). It features an automatic icemaker and a water dispenser, providing convenience for users. The appliance is equipped with various controls to adjust temperature settings, manage energy consumption, and alert users to potential issues like an open door.
The refrigerator operates on a standard electrical supply and requires proper grounding. For models with an icemaker, a cold water supply line is necessary. The water filter system is designed to reduce contaminants, with specific performance data available for models using MWF and GSWF filters. The water filter capacity for MWF is 300 gallons, and for GSWF, it is 750 gallons, both with a rated service flow of 0.5 gpm. The refrigerator's temperature settings can be adjusted, with a recommended freezer temperature of 0°F and a refrigerator temperature of 37°F. The icemaker produces approximately 100-130 cubes in a 24-hour period.
Temperature Control: The refrigerator features electronic controls to set and monitor temperatures in both the fresh food and freezer compartments. Users can adjust temperatures using WARNER and COLDER pads, with a digital display showing the set temperature. TurboCool™: This feature rapidly cools the refrigerator compartment, useful after frequent door openings or when adding a large amount of food. It runs the compressor at high speed for eight hours or until the refrigerator compartment reaches approximately 34°F. Door Alarm: An audible alarm sounds if the refrigerator door is open for more than two minutes, alerting users to close it and prevent temperature fluctuations. Energy Saver: This mode reduces energy consumption by adjusting the compressor's operation and turning off the evaporator fan during certain periods. Water Filter and Dispenser: Models 22 and 23 include a water filter and dispenser. The filter status indicator light reminds users when to replace the filter (approximately every 6 months). The dispenser provides filtered water and ice. Adjustable Shelves and Bins: The refrigerator compartment includes adjustable shelves and bins, such as spill-proof shelves, slide-out spill-proof shelves, and a tuck-away shelf, allowing for flexible storage configurations. Adjustable bins on the door provide additional storage. Crispers and Pans: Fruit and vegetable crispers help maintain humidity levels for produce, with an adjustable humidity crisper for high or low humidity settings. An adjustable temperature deli pan allows for specific temperature control for deli items. Freezer Shelves and Baskets: The freezer compartment includes shelves and baskets for organized storage of frozen foods. Automatic Icemaker: The icemaker automatically produces ice cubes, which are stored in a bin. A power switch allows users to turn the icemaker on or off. Internal Water Dispenser: Some models feature an internal water dispenser located on the left wall of the refrigerator compartment, providing a discreet way to access filtered water.
Cleaning: Regular cleaning of both the exterior and interior of the refrigerator is recommended. The exterior can be cleaned with mild dish soap and water, while stainless steel surfaces require specific cleaners. The interior should be cleaned with baking soda and water to remove odors and spills. Door gaskets should be cleaned to ensure a tight seal. Water Filter Replacement: The water filter needs to be replaced periodically (every 6 months or when the indicator light turns red). The manual provides detailed instructions for installing and removing the filter cartridge. Light Bulb Replacement: Instructions are provided for replacing light bulbs in the refrigerator, freezer, and middle sections, ensuring proper illumination of the compartments. Icemaker Maintenance: The icemaker should be checked periodically for proper operation. If the icemaker is not producing ice, troubleshooting steps are provided. Troubleshooting Tips: The manual includes a comprehensive troubleshooting section that addresses common problems such as unusual noises, temperature issues, water dispenser malfunctions, and icemaker problems, offering possible causes and solutions. Care and Cleaning: Detailed instructions are given for cleaning the outside and inside of the refrigerator, including specific advice for stainless steel panels and door handles. It also covers preparing the refrigerator for vacation or moving. Installation: The manual provides step-by-step instructions for installing the refrigerator, including connecting the water line for the icemaker and dispenser, leveling the appliance, and reversing the door swing if necessary. It also lists the tools required for installation. Warranty Information: The document outlines the warranty coverage for the refrigerator, specifying parts and labor coverage for different components over various periods. It also details what is not covered under the warranty.
