{_Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable

vapors and liquids in tile vicinity of this or any

other appliance.

{In refiigerators with automatic icemakers,

avoid contact with the moving parts of 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 refrigerator

is plugged in.

@Keep fingers out of the "pinch point" areas;

clearances between the doors and between

the doors and cabinet are necessarily small.

Be careJ[ul closing doors when children are

in the area.

_ Unplug the refiigerator before cleaning and

making repairs.

NOTE: Westrongly recommendthat any servicingbe

performed by a qualified individual.

Refrigerants

All refigeration products contain re@igerants,

which under federal law must be removed prior

to product disposal. If you are getting rid of an

old refigeration product, check with tile

company handling the disposal about what

to do.

USEOFEXTENSIONCORDS

Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against the use

of an extension cord.

Howevm; if you must use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL-listed (in the United

States) or a CNA-listed (in Canada), @wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding

type plug and outlet and that the elecnical rating of the cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 190 volts.

AWARNING!

HOWTOCONNECTELECTRICITY

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 g-prong (grounding) plug which mates

with a standard g-prong (grounding) w_l oudet

to minimize tile possibility of electric shock hazard

from this appliance.

Have tile wall outlet and circuit checked by a

qualified electrician to make sure tile outlet is

properly grounded.

If the oudet is a standard 2-prong outlet, it is your

personal responsibility and obligation to have it

replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong w_l

outlet.

The refrigerator 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 your refrigerator by pulling on the

power cord. _Mwaysgrip plug firmly and pull straight

out fi'om the outlet.

Repair or replace immediately all power cords that

have become frayed or other,arise damaged. Do not

use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage

along its length or at eitlmr end.

When moving the refrigerator away fi'om the

wall, be careful not to roll over or damage the

power cord.

USEOFADAPTERPLUGS(Adapterpl,gsnotpermittedinCanada)

Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against

the use of an adapter plug.

Howevm; if you must use an adapter, where local

codes permit, a temporary connection may be made

to a properly grounded 2-prong wall outlet by use

era UL-listed adapter a'_ailable at most local

hardware stores.

The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned witll

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, al,a-ayshold the adapter in place with one

hand while pulling the power cord plug with the

other hand. If this is not done, the adapter ground

terminal is very likely to break with repeated use.

If the adapter ground terminal breaks, DO NOT

USEthe refrigerator until a proper ground has

been established.

About the refrigeratordoors.

Refrigerator Doors

The refrigerator doors may feel diffizrent

than the ones you are used to. Tile special

door opening/closing feature makes sure

tile doors close all tile way and are securely

sealed.

When opening and closing the door you

will notice a stopposition. If the door is

opened past this stop point, the door will

remain open to allow you to load and

unload food more easily. When the door

is only partially open, it will automatically

close.

The resistance you feel at the stop

position will be reduced as tile door

is loaded with food.

When the dooris only partially open,

it will automatically close.

Beyond this stop the door will stay open.

Door Alignment

If doors are uneven, adjust the refrigerator

door.

O Using a 7/16" socket wrench, turn the

door adjusting screw to the right to

raise the door, to the left to lower it.

(A nylon plug, imbedded in the

threads of the pin, prevents the pin

from turning unless a wrench is used.)

After one or m,o turns of the wrench,

open and close the refrigerator door

and check the alignment at the top of

the doors.

About the automatic icemaker.

A newly installed refrigerator may take 12to 24 hours to begin making ice.

Automatic Icemaker

Ondispensermodels,

to accessice orreach

thepower switch:

oLift the bin, then pullit

forward until the bin stops.

oLower the bin to access ice

or reach the power switch.

NOTE:In order to take furl advantage

of the tie-out ice bin, only store items

an the sheff below the ice bin that

are no taller than the lowest point

an the bin.

_Lift the bin, then pull it

forward until the bin stops.

_Lift and puff forward again

to remove the bin.

The icemaker will produce seven cubes

per cycle,---approximately 100-130 cubes

in a 24-hour period, depending on freezer

compartment temperature, room

temperatm'e, number of door openings

and other use conditions.

If the refrigerator is operated befbre the

water connection is made to tile icemake_;

set the power switch in tile O(off}position.

When the refrigerator has been connected

to tile water supply, set tile power switch to

tile I (on) position.

Tile icemaker will fill with water when it

cools to 15°F (-10°C). A newly installed

refiigerator may take 12 to 24 hours to begin

making ice cubes.

You will hear a buzzing sound each time

the icemaker fills with water.

Throw away the first few batches of ice to

allow the water line to clear.

Be sure nothing interferes with tile sweep

of tile fi?eler arm.

When the bin fills to the level of the f_eeler

arm, the icemaker will stop producing

ice. It is normal for several cubes to be

joined together.

If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes

will become cloudy, taste stole and shrink.

Special note about dispenser models:

_ Dispenser models have a tilt-out ice bin.

The bin can be tilted out as shown in the

illustrations, and it will hold itself up

while you take ice out or turn the

icemaker power switch on and off Be

sure to put the bin back in place before

closing the door.

_ To restore your ice level from an empty

bucket stage, the following steps are

recommended:

I_ 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

in the shortest amount of time.

Important Facts About YourDispenser

@Do not add ice from trays or bags to

the storage drawm: It may not crush or

dispense well.

@Avoid overfilling glass with ice and use of

narrow glasses. Backed-up ice can jam the

chute or cause the door in the chute to

fi'eeze shut. @ice is blocking the chute,

poke it through with a wooden spoon.

@Beverages and foods should not be

quick-chilled in the ice storage drawer:

Cans, bottles or food packages in the

storage drawer may cause the icemaker

or auger to jam.

@To keep dispensed ice @om missing

the glass, put the glass close to, but not

touching, the dispenser opening.

@Some crushed ice may be dispensed

even though you selected CUBEDICE.

This happens occasionally when a fi?w

cubes accidentally get directed to

the crushm:

@M_er crushed ice is dispensed, some

water may drip @ore the chute.

@Sometimes a small mound of snow will

J[brm on the door in the ice chute. This

condition is normal and usually occurs

when you have dispensed crushed ice

repeatedly. The snow will eventually

evaporate.

Before YouBegin

Some models are equipped with trim kits that allow you to install door panels. You can order

pre-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 I/4" (6 mm) thick

When installing wood panels less than 1/4" (6 ram) thick, you need to create a filler panel, such as 1/8"

cardboard, that will fit between the face of the door and the wood panel. If you are installing the premut

decorator panels, premut filler panels are included in the kit. The combined thickness of the decorator

or wood panel and the filler panel should be 1/4" (6 ram).

Installation Instructions

INSTALLING THE WATER LINE (ICEMAKER &DISPENSERMODELS)

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 TM

Refrigerator Tubing (WX08X10002,

WX08X10006, WX08X10015 and

WX08X10025).

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.

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.

This water line installation is not warranted

by the refrigerator or icemaker manufacturer.

Follow these instructions carefully to

minimize the risk of expensive water damage.

Water hammer (water banging in the pipes)

in house plumbing can cause damage to

refrigerator parts and lead to water leakage

or flooding. Call a qualified plumber to correct

water hammer before installing the water

supply line to the refrigerator.

To prevent burns and product damage, do not

hook up the water line to the hot water line.

If you use your refrigerator before connecting

the water line, make sure the icemaker power

switch is in the O (off) position.

Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas

where temperatures fall below freezing.

When using any electrical device (such as a

power drill) during installation, be sure the

device 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.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED

• Copper or GE SmartConnect TM 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.

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.

GE SmartConnect TM Refrigerator Tubing Kits

are available in the following lengths:

2'(0.6 m) -WX08X10002

6' (1.8 m) -WX08X10006

15' (4.6 m) -WX08X10015

25' (7.6 m) -WX08X10025

Be sure that the kit you select allows at least

8' (2.4 m) as described above.

32

Installation Instructions

WHAT YOU WILL NEED (CONT.)

NOTE: The only GE approved plastic tubing

is that supplied in GE SmartConnect TM

Refrigerator Tubing kits. Do not use any

other plastic water supply line because the

line is under pressure at all times. Certain

types of plastic will crack or rupture with age

and cause water damage to your home.

•A GE water supply kit (containing tubing,

shutoff valve and fittings listed below) is

available at extra cost from your dealer or

from Parts and Accessories, 800.626.2002

(in Canada 1.888.261.3055).

•A cold water supply. The water pressure must

be between 20 and 120 p.s.i. (1.4-8.1 bar).

•Power drill.

•1/2" or adjustable wrench.

•Straight and Phillips blade screwdriver.

• Two 1/4" outer diameter compression nuts

and 2 ferrules (sleeves)--to connect the

copper tubing to the shutoff valve and the

refrigerator water valve.

OR

• If you are using a GE SmartConnect TM

Refrigerator Tubing kit, the necessary

fittings are preassembled to the tubing.

• If your existing copper water line has a

flared fitting at the end, you will need an

adapter (available at plumbing supply

stores) to connect the water line to the

refrigerator OR you can cut off the flared

fitting with a tube cutter and then use a

compression fitting. Do not cut formed end

from GE SmartConnect TM Refrigerator tubing.

•Shutoff valve to connect to the cold water

line. The shutoff valve should have a water

inlet with a minimum inside diameter of

5/32" at the point of connection to the COLD

WATER LINE. Saddle-type shutoff valves are

included in many water supply kits. Before

purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve

complies with your local plumbing codes.

Install the shutoff valve on the nearest

frequently used drinking water line.

[] SHUT OFF THE MAIN WATER

SUPPLY

Turn on the nearest faucet long enough

to clear the line of water.

[] CHOOSE THE VALVE LOCATION

Choose a location for the valve that is

easily accessible. It is best to connect into

the side of a vertical water pipe. When it is

necessary to connect into a horizontal

water pipe, make the connection to the

top or side, rather than at the bottom,

to avoid drawing off any sediment from

the water pipe.

[] DRILL THE HOLE FOR THE VALVE

Drill a 1/4" hole in the water pipe (even if

using a self-piercing valve), using a sharp

bit. Remove any burrs resulting from

drilling the hole in the pipe.

Take care not to allow water to drain into

the drill.

Failure to drill a 1/4" hole may result in

reduced ice production or smaller cubes.

hear a high-pitched hum or pulsating sound while

it is operating.

• Sometimes the refrigerator runs for an extended period,

especially when the doors are opened frequently. This

means that the Frost Guard" feature is working to

prevent freezer burn and improve food preservation.

• You may hear a whooshing sound when the dom.'s close.

This is due to pressure equalizing within the refrigerator.

CLICKS, POPS,

CRACKS and CHIRPS

• You may hear cracking or popping sounds when the

refrigerator is first plugged in. This happens as the

refrigerator cools to the correct temperature.

• Electronic dampers click open and closed to provide

optimal cooling and energy savings.

• The compressor may cause a clicking or chirping

sound when attempting to restart (this could take

up to 5 minutes).

• The electronic control board may cause a clicking

sound when relays activate to control refrigerator

components.

• Expansion and contraction of cooling coils during

and after defrost can cause a cracking or popping

sound.

• On models with an icemakm; after an icemaking

cycle, you may hear the ice cubes dropping into

the ice bucket.

•You may hear the fans spinning at high speeds.

This happens when the refrigerator is first plugged

in, when the doors are opened frequently or when

a large amount of food is added to the refrigerator

or freezer compartments. The fans are helping to

maintain the correct temperatures.

If either door is open for over 3 minutes, you may

hear the fans come on in order to cool the light

bulbs.

The fans change speeds in order to provide optimal

cooling and energy savings.

You may hear the fans running after selecting one of

the CustomCoorsettings.

WATERSOUNDS

The flow of refrigerant through the freezer cooling

coils may make a gurgling noise like boiling water.

Water dropping on the defrost heater can cause a

sizzling, popping or buzzing sound during the

defrost cycle.

A w-ater dripping noise may occur during the defrost

cycle as ice melts from the evaporator and flows into

the drain pan.

Closing the door may cause a gurgling sound due to

pressure equalization.
