IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING!
Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner’s Manual.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:
This refrigerator must be properly installed
and located in accordance with the Installation
Instructions before it is used.
Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang
on the shelves in the refrigerator. They could damage
the refrigerator and seriously injure themselves.
Do not touch the cold surfaces in the freezer
compartment when hands are damp or wet.
Skin may stick to these extremely cold surfaces.
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable
vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.
In refrigerators 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 careful closing doors when children are
in the area.
Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and making
repairs.
NOTE: We strongly recommend that any servicing be
performed by a qualified individual.
Setting either or both controls to OFF does not remove
power to the light circuit.
Do not refreeze frozen foods which have
thawed completely.
Always clean the CustomCool™Tray after thawing
food.

DANGER! RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT
PROPER DISPOSAL OF THE REFRIGERATOR
GEAppliances.com
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.
Refrigerants
All refrigeration products contain refrigerants,
which under federal law must be removed prior
to product disposal. If you are getting rid of an
old refrigeration product, check with the company
handling the disposal about what
to do.
USE OF EXTENSION CORDS
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against the use
of an extension cord.
However, if you must use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL-listed (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 rating of the cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 120 volts.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING!
HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY
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 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates
with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet
to minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from
this appliance.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified
electrician to make sure the outlet 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 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. 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.
READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

About the temperature controls. GEAppliances.com
The temperature controls are preset in the factory at 37°F for the
refrigerator compartment and 0°F for 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 or both controls to OFF stops cooling in both the freezer
and refrigerator compartments, but does not shut off 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.
To change the temperature, press and release the
WARMER or COLDER pad. The SET light will come on
and the display will show the set temperature.
To change the temperature, tap either the WARMER or
COLDER pad until the desired temperature is displayed.
Refrigerator temperatures can be adjusted between 34°F
and 44°F and the freezer temperatures can be adjusted
between
–6°F and +6°F.
Once the desired temperature has been set,
the temperature display will return to the actual
refrigerator and freezer temperatures after
5 seconds. Several adjustments may be required.
Each time you adjust controls, allow 24 hours for the
refrigerator to reach the temperature you have set.
Performance Air Flow System
The Performance Air-Flow System is designed to
maximize temperature control in the refrigerator and
freezer compartments. This unique special feature
consists of the Air Tower along the back
wall of the refrigerator and the Air Tunnel on the
bottom portion of the freezer rear wall. Placing food in
front of the louvers on these components will not affect
To turn the cooling system off, tap the WARMER pad for
either the refrigerator or the freezer until the display
shows OFF. To turn the unit back on, press the COLDER
pad for either the refrigerator or freezer. The SET light
will illuminate on the side you selected. Then press the
COLDER pad again (on the side where the SET light is
illuminated) and it will go to the preset points of 0°F for
the freezer and 37°F for the refrigerator. Setting either or
both controls to OFF stops cooling in both the freezer
and refrigerator compartments, but does not shut
off electrical power to the refrigerator.
performance. Although the Air Tower and the Air
Tunnel can be removed, doing so will affect temperature
performance. (For removal instructions, on-line, 24 hours

About TurboCool.
™
How it Works
TurboCool™rapidly cools the refrigerator
compartment in order to more quickly
cool foods. Use TurboCool when adding a large
amount of food to the refrigerator
compartment, 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 off
at 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 off to maintain this setting. After
8 hours, or if TurboCool is pressed again,
the refrigerator compartment will return
to the original setting.
How to Use
Press TurboCool. The refrigerator temperature
display will show TC.
After TurboCool is complete, the refrigerator
compartment will return to the original setting.
NOTES:
The refrigerator temperature cannot be changed
during TurboCool.
The freezer temperature is not affected during
TurboCool.
When opening the refrigerator door during
TurboCool, the fans will continue to run if they have
cycled on.
About ClimateKeeper2.
How it Works
The new ClimateKeeper2™is the industry’s
most advanced refrigeration system, delivering
optimum temperature and humidity
performance to keep food garden fresh longer
and reduce freezer burn, while maintaining E
star-level efficiency.
The new ClimateKeeper2 system features
two evaporators—one for the refrigerator and
one for the freezer.
This provides two separate cooling systems for
the entire unit, and separates the airflow
between the fresh food and freezer sections
during normal cooling operations.*
This ensures that the humidity levels in the
fresh food section are significantly higher than
in a conventional system,** allowing fresh
produce and other unsealed foods to retain
their moisture content and freshness longer.
Moisture sensitive foods such as fresh fruit,
salads, rice, etc., can now be stored on open
shelves without excessive moisture loss. Due to
the higher humidity in the refrigerator, you may
on occasion experience fog or small amounts of
moisture in the refrigerator compartment. This
is normal and may come and go as different
food loads and environmental conditions
change. Wipe dry with a paper towel if desired.
™
The separate airflow system minimizes
the mixing of air between the two
compartments, which reduces odor
transfer to improve the taste of ice.
The ClimateKeeper2 system also reduces
the number of defrosting cycles in the freezer
evaporator, thereby reducing
freezer burn.
*Freezer air is used in the CustomCool feature.
**Testing shows a higher level of humidity in
the Fresh Food section in ClimateKeeper2
refrigerators versus conventional units.

About the refrigerator doors.
Refrigerator Doors
When the door is only partially open,
it will automatically close.
Beyond this stop the door will
stay open.
The refrigerator doors may feel different
than the ones you are used to. The special
door opening/closing feature makes sure the
doors close all the way and are securely
sealed.
When opening and closing the door you will
notice a stop position. 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.
Door Alignment
If doors are uneven, adjust the refrigerator
door.
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.)
The resistance you feel at the stop
position will be reduced as the door
is loaded with food.
After one or two turns of the wrench,
open and close the refrigerator door
and check the alignment at the top of
the doors.
Screw down the support
leg until it touches the
floor. This will prevent
door misalignment.

About the automatic icemaker.
To restore your ice level from an empty
bucket stage, the following steps are
recommended:
A newly installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24 hours to begin making ice.
On dispenser models,
to access ice or reach
the power switch:
Pull the bin forward until the
bin stops.
Lower the bin to access ice
or reach the power switch.
Automatic Icemaker
The icemaker will produce seven cubes
per cycle—approximately 100–130 cubes
in a 24-hour period, depending on freezer
compartment temperature, room temperature,
number of door openings
and other use conditions.
If the refrigerator is operated before the water
connection is made to the icemaker, set the
power switch in the OFFposition.
When the refrigerator has been connected to
the water supply, set the power switch to the ON
position.
The icemaker will fill with water when it
cools to 15°F (–10°C). A newly installed
refrigerator 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 the sweep
of the feeler arm.
When the bin fills to the level of the feeler 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 stale 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.
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.

of narrow glasses. Backed-up ice can jam the
chute or cause the door in the chute to freeze
shut. If 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 from missing
the glass, put the glass close to, but not
touching, the dispenser opening.
Some crushed ice may be dispensed
even though you selected CUBED ICE. This
happens occasionally when a few cubes
accidentally get directed to
the crusher.
After crushed ice is dispensed, some water
may drip from the chute.
Sometimes a small mound of snow will form
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.

Care and cleaning of the refrigerator.
Cleaning the Outside
Dispenser drip area.
The dispenser drip area, beneath the grille,
should be wiped dry. Water left in this area may
leave deposits. Remove the deposits
by adding undiluted vinegar to the well. Soak
until the deposits disappear or become loose
enough to rinse away.
The dispenser cradle. Before cleaning, lock the
dispenser by pressing and holding the LOCK
CONTROL pad for 3 seconds. Clean with warm
water and baking soda solution—about a
tablespoon (15 ml)
of baking soda to a quart (1 liter) of water.
Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry.
The door handles and trim. Clean with
a cloth dampened with soapy water.
Dry with a soft cloth.
Cleaning the Inside
To help prevent odors, leave an open box of
baking soda in the fresh food and freezer
compartments.
The stainless steel panels and door handles
(on some models) can be cleaned with
a commercially available stainless steel cleaner.
A spray-on stainless steel cleaner works best.
Do not use appliance wax or polish
on the stainless steel.
Keep the outside clean. Wipe with a clean
cloth lightly dampened with kitchen appliance
wax or mild liquid dish detergent. Dry and
polish with a clean, soft cloth.
Do not wipe the refrigerator with a soiled dish
cloth or wet towel. These may leave a residue
that can erode the paint. Do not use scouring
pads, powdered cleaners, bleach or cleaners
containing bleach because these products can
scratch and weaken the paint finish.
which is recommended, especially those that
contain petroleum distillates, can crack or
damage the interior of the refrigerator.
Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning. If this
is not practical, wring excess moisture out
of sponge or cloth when cleaning around
switches, lights or controls.
Use warm water and baking soda solution—
about a tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda to a
quart (1 liter) of water. This both cleans and
neutralizes odors. Rinse and wipe dry.
Use of any cleaning solution other than that
Avoid cleaning cold glass shelves with hot water
because the extreme temperature difference
may cause them to break. Handle glass shelves
carefully. Bumping tempered glass can cause
it to shatter.
Do not wash any plastic refrigerator parts
in the dishwasher.
The chill/thaw tray is dishwasher safe.

Behind the Refrigerator
Be careful when moving the refrigerator away
from the wall. All types of floor coverings can
be damaged, particularly cushioned coverings
and those with embossed surfaces.
Pull the refrigerator straight out and return it to
position by pushing it straight in. Moving the
refrigerator in a side direction may result in
damage to the floor covering or refrigerator.
Preparing for Vacation
For long vacations or absences, remove food
and unplug the refrigerator. Clean the interior
with a baking soda solution of one tablespoon
(15 ml) of baking soda to one quart (1 liter) of
water. Leave the doors open.
Set the icemaker power switch to the OFF
position and shut off the water supply to
the refrigerator.
GEAppliances.com
When pushing the refrigerator back, make sure
you don’t roll over the power cord or icemaker
supply line.
If the temperature can drop below freezing,
have a qualified servicer drain the water supply
system to prevent serious property damage due
to flooding.
Preparing to Move
Secure all loose items such as shelves and
drawers by taping them securely in place
to prevent damage.
When using a hand truck to move the
refrigerator, do not rest the front or back
of the refrigerator against the hand truck. This
could damage the refrigerator. Handle only
from the sides of the refrigerator.
Be sure the refrigerator stays in an upright
position during moving.

Trim kits and decorator panels.
For CustomStyle™models
Read these instructions completely and carefully.
Before You Begin
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 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” cardboard, that will fit between the face of the door and 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 the filler panel should be 1/4” (6 mm).
Panels 1/4”thick or less
1/4”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 mm) routed board can be
used. The raised portion of the panel must be fabricated to permit clearances of at least 2” (5.1 cm) from the handle
side for fingertip clearance.
Panels thicker than 1/4” (6 mm), up to 3/4” (19 mm) max, will require that the outer 5/16” (8 mm) of panel
perimeter be no thicker than 1/4” (6 mm).
Weight limitations for custom panels:

CONNECTING THE REFRIGERATOR
TO THE HOUSE WATER LINE
(icemaker and dispenser models)
A cold water supply is required for
automatic icemaker and dispenser
operation. If there is not a cold water
supply, you will need to provide one.
See Installing the Water Line section.
NOTES:
• Before making the connection to the
refrigerator, be sure the refrigerator
power cord is not plugged into the wall
outlet.
• If your refrigerator does not have a
water filter, we recommend installing
one if your water supply has sand or
particles that could clog the screen
of the refrigerator’s water valve. Install
it in the water line near the refrigerator.
If using GE SmartConnect
Tubing Kit, you will need an additional
tube (WX08X10002) to connect the filter.
Do not cut plastic tube to install filter.
If you are using copper tubing, place a
A
compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) onto
the end of the tubing coming from the
house cold water supply.
If you are using the GE SmartConnect
tubing, the nuts are already assembled to
the tubing.
If you are using copper tubing, insert
B
the end of the tubing into the refrigerator
connection, at the back of the refrigerator,
as far as possible. While holding the
tubing, tighten the fitting.
If you are using GE SmartConnect
tubing, insert the molded end of the
tubing into the refrigerator connection,
at the back of the refrigerator, and tighten
the compression nut until it is hand tight.
Then tighten one additional turn with a
wrench. Overtightening may cause leaks.
