Z Leave the shelves in place so that children may
not easily climb inside.

USEOFEXTENSION
CORDS
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against the use
of an extension cord.
However, if you must use all extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL-fisted (in the United
States) or a CSA-listed (in Canada), 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding
type plug and outlet and that the electrical radng of the cord be 15 amperes (mininmm) and 120 volts.

WARNING!
HOWTOCONNECT
ELECTRICITY
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground)prong from the power cord.
For personal safety, this appliance mustbe 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 oudet to
minimize the possib'tlity of electric shock hazard
from this appliance.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by
a qualified electrician
to make 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 wall outlet.
The refrigerator should always be plugged into
its oval individual electrical outlet which has
a voltage rating that matches the radng plate.

This provides the best performance and also
prevents overloading house wiring circuits which
could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires.
Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on
the power cord. Always grip 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 refrigerator away from the
wall, be careful not to roll over or damage the
power cord.

USEOFADAPTER
PLUGS
(Adapterplugs notpermitted 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 peiwnit, a temporary connection may be made
to a properly grounded
2-prong wall oudet by use
of a UL-listed adapter available at most local
hard_ore
stores.

The larger slot 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 pulling the power cord plug with the
other hand. If this is not done, die adapter ground
temtinal is very likely to break _th repeated use.

Aboutthetemperaturecontrols,

vvvvw.GEAppliance c

The temperature controlsare preset in the factory at 5 for both
the refrigerator and freezer compartments. Allow24 hours for the
temperature to stabilize to the preset recommended settings.
Severe/adjustments may be required. Each time you adjust
controls,allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to reach the setting
you have selected.
Setting either or both controls to 0 stops cooling in both the freezer
and refrigerator compartments, but does not shut off electrical power
to the refrigerator.
Control settings will vary based on personal preferences, usage and
operating conditions and may require more than one adjustment.
NOTE: The refrigerator is shipped with protective film covering the
temperature controls. If this film was not removed during installation,
remove it now.

PerformanceAir FlowSystem
The Performance Air Flow System is designed to maximize temperature control in the refrigerator and
freezer comparunents. This unique special feature consists of the Air Tower along the back wall of the
refrigerator and the Air Tunnel on the bottom portion oftbe freezer rear wall. Placing food in front of the
louvers on these components will not affect perfoimance. Although the Air Tower and the Air Tunnel can
be removed, doing so will affect temperature performance. (For removal instructions, on-line, 24 hours a
day, contact tts at GEAppliances.com or call 800.GE.CARES. In Canada, contact us at wvn_'.geappliances.ca
or call 1.800.361.3400.)

AboutTurboCool
TM.

How it Works
TurboCoolrapid]y
cools the refrigerator
comparunent in order to more quickly
cool foods. Use Tu_oCoolwhen adding a
large amount of food to the refrigerator
compamnent, putting away foods after they
have been sitting out at room temperature
or when putting away warm leftovers. It can
also be used if the refrigerator has been
without power for an extended period.
Once activated, the compressor will turn on
immediately and the fans will cycle on and
offat high speed as needed for eight hours.
The compressor will continue to run until
the refrigerator compartment cools to
approximately 34°F (1°C), then it will cycle
on and offto maintain this setting. After 8
hours, or if TuFooCoo!is pressed again, the
refrigerator compartment will return to
the original setting.

recommended:
12 hours after the first batch of ice
has fallen into the bin, dispense

3 to 4 cubes.
After an additional 6 hours, dispense
3 to 4 cubes again.
These steps will restore your ice level

For CustomStyle" models
Read these instructions completely and carefully.

Before YouBegin
Some models are equipped with trim kits that allow you to install door panels. You can order
pro-cut black, white, bisque or stainless steel decorator panels from GE Parts and Accessories,
800.626.2002, or you can add wood panels to match your kitchen cabinets.

Panels less than 1/4" (6 mm) thick
When installing wood panels less than 1/4" (6 mm) thick, you need to create a filler panel, such as 1/8"
(3 nun) cardboard, that will fit between the face of the door mad the wood panel. If you are installing the
pre-cut decorator panels, pre-cut filler panels are included in the kit. The combined thickness of the
decorator or wood panel and file filler panel should be 1/4" (6 mm).
Panels 1/4" (6 ram)thick or less

1/4" (6 mm)Max.

3/4" (19 mm) or Raised Panel
A raised panel design screwed or glued to a 1/4" (6 mm) thick backing, or a 3/4" (19 1ran) routed board
can be used. The raised portion of the panel must be abracated to pernnt clearances of at least 2" (5.1 cm)
from the handle side for fingertip clearm,ce.
Panels thicker than 1/4" (6 mm), up to 3/4" (19 mm) maximum, will require that the outer 5/16"
(8 nml) of panel perimeter be no thicker than 1/4" (6 mm).

WHAT YOU WILL NEED

BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Recommended copper water supply kits are
WX8X2, WX8X3 or WX8X4, depending
on the
amount of tubing you need. Approved
plastic
water supply lines are GE SmartConnect

Refrigerator
Tubing kit, 1/4" outer diameter to connect
the refrigerator to the water supply. If using
copper, be sure both ends of the tubing are
cut square.

When connecting your refrigerator
to a GE
Reverse Osmosis Water System, the only
approved installation
is with a GE RVKit. For
other reverse osmosis water systems, follow
the manufacturer's
recommendations.

To determine how much tubing you need:
measure the distance from the water valve on
the back of the refrigerator to the water
supply pipe. Then add 8' (2.4 m). Be sure
there is sufficient extra tubing (about 8' [2.4 m]
coiled into 3 turns of about 10" [25 cm]
diameter) to allow the refrigerator to move
out from the wall after installation.

If the water supply to the refrigerator
is from
a Reverse Osmosis Water Filtration
System
AND the refrigerator
also has a water filter,
use the refrigerator'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.
