Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigerator Or Freezer; Operating Your Refrigerator - GE TFT22JADWW Guía De Uso Y Cuidado

DANGER! RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT
PROPER DISPOSAL OF THE REFRIGERATOR
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
Refrigerator or Freezer:
• Take off the doors.
• Leave the shelves in place so that children may
not easily climb inside.
Set the Temperature Controls
Two controls let you regulate the temperature in the fresh food and
freezer compartments.
At first, set the freezer control at "5" and the fresh food control at "5."
Allow 24 hours for the temperature to stabilize, whether you are
setting the controls for the first time or adjusting them later. Then, if
you want colder or warmer temperatures in either compartment, adjust
the controls one step at a time.
NOTE: Moving the fresh food control to the "
cooling in both compartments—fresh food and freezer—but does not
shut off power to the refrigerator.
How to Test Temperatures
Use the milk test for the fresh food compartment. Place a container of
milk on the top shelf in the fresh food compartment. Check it a day later.
If the milk is too warm or too cold, adjust the temperature controls.
Use the ice cream test for the freezer compartment. Place a
container of ice cream in the center of the freezer compartment. Check
it after a day. If it's too hard or too soft, adjust the temperature controls.
Always allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to reach the
temperature you set.
No Defrosting
It is not necessary to defrost the freezer or fresh food compartments. Although your
refrigerator is designed and equipped to defrost itself automatically, some frost on
packages is normal.

CFC Disposal
Your old refrigerator has a cooling system that
used CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons). CFCs are
believed to harm stratospheric ozone.
If you are throwing away your old refrigerator,
make sure the CFC refrigerant is removed for
proper disposal by a qualified servicer. If you
intentionally release this CFC refrigerant you can
be subject to fines and imprisonment under
provisions of environmental legislation.

Automatic Energy-Saver System
You won't find an "energy-saver" switch on this refrigerator.
Warm liquid from the refrigerator's condenser is automatically
circulated around the front edge of the freezer compartment to help
keep moisture from forming on the outside of the refrigerator during
humid weather.
Many refrigerators use special electric heaters. This refrigerator
needs none. That's why there is no "energy-saver" switch...there's
no need for it.
