Usethis applianceon/},for its intendedpurpose as describedin this Owner's Manual SAFETY PRECAUTIONS When usingelectrical appliances,basicsafetyprecautionsshouldbe followed,includingthe following: tyTlaks refrigerator must be properly imtalled and located in accordance with the Imtalhtion Instructions before it is used. ty Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang on the shelves in the refrigerator. They could damage the refrigerator and _riot_sly injure themselves. viDo not touch the cold surfaces in the freezer compartment when hands are damp or wet. Skin may stick to these extremely cold surfaces. tyDo nut store or ttse gasoline or other flammable vapors and fiquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. ty In refrigerators with atztomafic icemakc_rs, avoid contact with the moving parts eft the ejector mechanism, or with the heating element located on the bottom of the icemaker. Do not place fingers or hands on the automatic icemaking mechanism while the rtyvigerator is plugged in. 2 ty Keep fingers out of the "pinch point" area.s; clearances between the doors and between the doors and cabinet axe nec_ly small.

CFCDisposal Your old refrig'erator may have a cooling ,systmn that ttsed CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons). CFC*are believed to harm stratospheric ozone.

Hov,xocer, if you must use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a L_-listed (in the United States) or a C,SA-listed (in Canada), 3-wire grotrading type appliance extension cord having a grounding type plug and outlet mad dxat the electrical rating of the cord be 15 amperes (mininram) mad 120 volts. 3 IMPORTANTSAFETYINFORMATION. READALLINSTRUCTIONSBEFOREUSING. A WARNING! HOWTOCONNECT ELECTRICITY Do not,underany circumstances,cut or remove the third (ground)prongfrom the power cord. For personalsafe_, this appliancemustbe properly grounded. The power cord cff this appliance is equipped with a _prong (gmtmding) plug which mates with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from this appliance. Have the v-an outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to nmke sure the oudet is properly" grounded. If the outlet is a standard 2-prong outlet, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3--prong _mll outlet. The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own individual electrical oudet wtlich h_ a voltage rating that matches the rating plate. This provides the best performance and also pro,'en ts overloading hoose wiring circuits whidx could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires. Never tmplug your retiigemtor by pulling on the power cord. Alvws grip phkg firmly and Dill straight out from the ontieL Repair or replace immediately all lxr_er cords that have become frayed or othevwi,se damaged. Do not use a cord that show cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either end. V_nen mo-,iug the refrigerator away from the wall, be carefifl not to roll over or damage the power cord. USEOFADAPTER PLUGS (Adapter plugsnot permitted in Canada) Because of potential safe_ hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against the use of an adapter plug. However, if you must use an adapter, where local codes permit, a t_apo_F comw_ianmay be made to a properly grounded 2-prong wan ontlet by u_ of a UL-listed adapter available at most local lxarchcare stores, The larger flot in the adapter must be aligned with the larger slot in the wall outlet to provide proper polarity in the connection of the power cord. When disconnecting the power cord from the adapter, always hold the adapter in place with one hand while pnlling the power cord plug with the other hand. ff this is not done, the adapter ground terminal is very likely to break with repeated use. If the adapter ground terminal breaks, DO NOT OSEthe refrigerat_r until a proper ground has been established.

The temperature controls are preset in the factory at 37°1: for the refrigerator compartment and O°Ffor the freezer compartment. Allow 24 hours for the temperature to stabilize to the preset recommended settings. The temperature controls can display both the SET temperature as well as the actual temperature in the refrigerator and freezer. The actual temperature may vary slightly from the SET temperature based on usage and operating environment. Setting either orboth controlsto OFFstops coolingin both the freezer and refrigerator compartments, but does not shutoff electrical power to the refrigerator. NOTE: The refrigerator is shipped with protective film covering the temperature controls. If this film was not removed during installation, remove it now. TochatPge _ tem_tature, press and release the WARMER or COI.tiERpad. The SETlight will come on and the dLsplay will show the set temperatme,. To chmlge the tempe, retiree, tap either the WARMERor COLDERpad mltil the desired temperature is displayed. Refrigerator temperatures can be adjusted between _°I." and 44°F mid the freezer tranperatur¢_, can be adjusted between --6_F and +6°E Once the desined temperature has been set, the temperature disphy will return to the actual refrigerator and freezer temperatures ",d_er5 seconds. S¢.weral adjustments may be ix'quired. Each time you adjust controls, all_v24 hours for the rt_'rigerator to reach the temperatra'e you have set. Toturn the cooling systemoff, tap the WARMER pad for either the refrigerator or the freezer until the ff_play shows 0/:E.

Setting either or both controls m OR:stops coormg in both the freezer and refrigerator compartments, but do_s not shrzt offelectrical power to the refrigerator. Performance Air FlowSystem The Performance Air-Flow System is designed to maximize temperattu:e control in the refiigerator and freezer compartments. This tmiq_te special feature cousists of the Air Tower along the back wall of the refrigerator and the Air Tnnnel on the bottom portion of the freezer rear wall. Placing food in front of the louvers on these components will not affect performance. Although the Air Tower and the Air Tunnel can be removed, doing so will affect temperature performance. (For removal instrtmfious, on-line, 94 hours a day, contact us at GEAppliances.com or call 800.GE.CARES. In Canada, contact us at geappliances._ or call 1.800.361.3400.) 5 AboutTurboCool.

For other reverse osmosis water systems, fnllow the marmfactnrer's recommendations. • Copper or GE SmartConnect Refrigerator Tubing kit, 1/4" onter diameter to connect the refi'igerator to the water supply. If using copper, be sure bnth ends of the tubing are cut square. If the water supply to the refrigerator is f_rom a Reverse Osmosis Water Filtration System AND the refrigerator also has a vrater filter, use the refi'igerator's filter bypass plug. Using the refrigerator's water filtration cartridge in conjunction with the RO filter can result in hollow ice cubes and slower water flow from the water dispenser. To detemfine how much tubing you need: measure die distance from the v,Ttter valve on the back of the refrigerator to the water supply pipe. Then add 8' (2.4 m). Be sure there ks sufficient extra tubing (about 8' [2.4 m] culled into 3 turns ofabtmt 10" [25 cm] diameter) to allot,- the refrigerator to move out from the wall after installation.

Call a qualified plmnbcr to correct -€ater hammer before installing the water supply line to the refrigerator. To prevent burns and product damage, up the water line to the hot water llne. Kits are Be sttre that the kit you select allov,,s at least 8' (2.4 m) as described above. do not hook If you use your reli'igerator before connecting the water line, make sure the icemaker power switch is in the 0 (off) position. Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas where temperanlres fall below freezing. When using may electrical device (such as a power drill) during installation, be sure the dc.wice is double insulated or grounded in a manner to prevent the hazard of electric shock, or is battery powered. All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements. 26 Installation Instructions Install the shutnff,,-alve drinking water line. WHAT YOU WILL NEED (CONT.)

Take care not to allow water to drain into the drill. Failure to drill a 1/4" hole may result ice production or smaUer cubes. • If your existing copper water line has a flared fitting at the end, yon will need an adapter {available at plumbing supply stores) to connect the water line to the refrigerator ORyou can cut off the flared ftdng with a tube cutter and then use a compression fitting.
