WARNING

Explosion Hazard.

Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from refrigerator. Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion, or death.

GEAppliances.com

SAFETY (CONT.)

WARNING	Tip Over Hazard.
Built-in style models (model PYE, CYE, and PWE) are top heavy, especially with any doors open. These

models must be secured with the anti-tip floor bracket to prevent tipping forward, which could result in death or serious injury. Read and follow the entire installation instructions for installing the anti-tip floor bracket packed with your refrigerator.

CONNECTING ELECTRICITY

WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard.

Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet

Do not remove the ground prong

Do not use an adapter

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

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.

Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet. Do not use an adapter.

The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the rating plate.

A 115 Volt AC, 60 Hz, 15or 20-amp fused, grounded electrical supply is required. 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.

PROPER DISPOSAL OF YOUR OLD REFRIGERATOR

WARNING Suffocation and child entrapment hazard.

Remove fresh-food and freezer doors from the refrigerator, prior to disposal. Failure to do so can result in child entrapment which can lead to death or brain damage.

IMPORTANT: 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 fresh food and freezer 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.

READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

About the dispenser.*

Water & Ice Dispenser

(See About the controls with temperature settings & About the control features)

Dispenser tray

WARNING Laceration Hazard

Never put fingers or any other object into ice crusher discharge opening. Doing so can result in contacting the ice crushing blades and lead to serious injury or amputation

Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice. A delicate glass may break and result in personal injury.

If no water is dispensed when the refrigerator is first installed, there may be air in the water line system. Press the dispenser paddle for at least five minutes to remove trapped air from the water line and to fill the water system. To flush out impurities in the water line, throw away the first six full glasses of water.

To remove Dispenser Tray

Pull Dispenser Tray out until it stops.

Locate tab in the center on the bottom and push up.

Pull Dispenser Tray assembly out.

Lift metal Dispenser Tray out at center notch to clean.

To reinstall Dispenser Tray

Place the Dispenser Tray cover on top of catch tray and position under the two plastic retainers on either side.

Center Dispenser tray, and align with center guides.

Push in until it firmly in place.

Important Facts About Your Dispenser

Do not add ice from trays or bags to the door ice maker bucket. It may not crush or dispense.

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 freeze shut. If ice is blocking the chute remove the ice bucket, poke it through with a wooden spoon.

Beverages and foods should not be quick-chilled in the door ice maker bin. Cans, bottles or food packages in the storage drawer may cause the ice maker 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.

To Use the Internal Water Dispenser*

The water dispenser is located on the left wall inside the refrigerator compartment.

To dispense water:

Hold the glass against the recess.

Push the water dispenser button.

Hold the glass underneath the dispenser for 2–3 seconds after releasing the dispenser button. Water may continue to dispense after the button is released.

*Select Models Only

If no water is dispensed when the refrigerator is first installed, there may be air in the water line system. Press the dispenser button for at least 5 minutes to remove trapped air from the water line and to fill the water system. During this process, the dispenser noise may be loud as the air is purged from the water line system. To flush out impurities in the water line, throw away the first 6 glassfuls of water.

NOTE: To avoid water deposits, the dispenser should be cleaned periodically by wiping with a clean cloth or sponge.

About the GE® RPWF water filter cartridge.

Water Filter Cartridge

The water filter cartridge is located in one of the following places: Bottom-freezer (BF) refrigerators:

-In the water filter compartment on the right side wall of the left-hand fresh food door.

-In the fresh food interior on the left side wall, near the top.

When to replace the filter cartridge

The filter cartridge should be replacedevery six months or earlier if the flow of water to the dispenser or icemaker decreases.

Touch Screen Models: A filter status message will appear on the screen when the water filter needs to be replaced. The filter status message must be reset manually.

The “Water Filter: Replace” status message can be reset by entering the Settings menu from the home screen. Then, select the Water Filter menu and press the RESET button. This will reset the filter status.

Non-touch Screen Models: A filter indicator light (or message) will illuminate on the screen when the water filter needs to be replaced. This light must be reset by pressing and holding the Reset Filter button for three seconds.

The filter cartridge has a maximum life of six months and should be replaced when indicated by the filter indicator on the refrigerator, or sooner if a significant reduction in flow occurs.

Removing the filter cartridge

To replace the filter, first remove the old cartridge by opening the filter door and pulling on the bottom of the cartridge to allow it to swing outward. When the cartridge can no longer swing, gently pull to unseat it from the cartridge holder. DO NOT TWIST CARTIDGE. A small amount of water may drip out.

Installing the Filter Cartridge

1.Align top of filter with cartridge holder and push until cartridge is fully seated.

2.While continuing to ensure cartridge is fully seated in the holder, gently swing the filter inward until it is in a

vertical position. If filter will not swing easily, check to ensure filter is properly aligned and fully seated within the cartridge holder.

	3. Run 2 gallons of water through the cold
	water dispenser (about 5 minutes) to
	remove air from the system. A newly
	installed filter cartridge will cause
	water to spurt from the dispenser. Use	Push/Pull
	a large pitcher or sports bottle to catch	Swing
	the water spray. DO NOT use the hot
	water dispenser or hands-free auto-fill
	(some models) until all air is removed
	from the system.

4. Reset Filter Status message

Touch Screen Models: Access RESET button through the Water Filter menu.

Non-touch Screen Models: Press and hold the Reset Filter button for three seconds.

WARNING Using the hot water dispenser prior to purging air from the system may result in spurting of hot water and lead

to hot water scalding. Follow the instructions above to purge all air from the system through the cold water dispenser prior to using the hot water dispenser.

Note: It is normal for water to appear discolored during the initial system flush. Water color will return to normal after first few minutes of dispensing.

Filter Bypass Plug

To reduce the risk of property damage due to water leakage, you MUST use the filter bypass plug when a replacement filter cartridge is not available. The dispenser and icemaker will not operate without either the filter or bypass plug installed. The bypass plug is installed in the same way as a filter cartridge.

WARNING

To reduce the risk associated with choking, do not allow children under 3 years of age to have access to small parts during the installation of this product. The disposable filter cartridge should be replaced every 6 months at the rated capacity, or sooner if a noticeable reduction in flow rate occurs.

For the maximum benefit of your filtration system, GE recommends the use of GE-branded filters only. Using GE-branded filters in GE and Hotpoint® refrigerators provides optimal performance and reliability. GE filters meet rigorous industry NSF standards for safety and quality that are important for products that are filtering your water. GE has not qualified non-GE-branded filters for use in GE and

Hotpoint refrigerators and there is no assurance that non-GE-branded filters meet GE's standards for quality, performance and reliability.

If you have questions, or to order additional filter cartridges, visit our website at www.geapplianceparts.com or call GE Parts and Accessories, 800.626.2002.

Customers in Canada should consult the yellow pages for the nearest Camco Service Center.
