POSITIONING THE REFRIGERATOR TO ENGAGE THE ANTI-TIP FLOOR AND BASE BRACKETS

Before pushing the refrigerator into the opening, plug the power cord into the

receptacle and connect waterline (if equipped). Check for leaks.

Locate the refrigerator’s RH side and move back approximately in line with the RH side of the

cabinet opening, W. This should position the anti-tip floor bracket to engage the anti-tip base bracket on the refrigerator.

Gently roll the refrigerator back into the cabinet opening until it comes to a complete stop. Check to

see if the refrigerator front lines up with the cabinet front face. If not, carefully rock the refrigerator forward and backward until engagement occurs and you notice that the refrigerator is fully pushed up against the rear wall.

If Applicable: Adjust the rear (and front) wheel height settings to fully engage the rear anti-tip brackets, while also aligning the refrigerator

front with the cabinet front face.

NOTE:

If you pull the refrigerator out and away from the wall for any reason, make sure the anti-tip floor bracket is engaged when the refrigerator is pushed back against the rear wall.

See the grounding information attached to the power cord.

LEVEL THE REFRIGERATOR

The leveling legs have 2 purposes:

1) Leveling legs adjust so the refrigerator is firmly positioned on the floor and does not wobble.

2) Leveling legs serve as a stabilizing brake to hold the refrigerator securely in position during operation and cleaning. The leveling legs also prevent the refrigerator from tipping.

LEVEL THE REFRIGERATOR DOORS

Remember a level refrigerator is necessary for getting the doors perfectly even. If you need help, review the previous section on leveling the refrigerator.

Installation Instructions

INSTALLING THE WATER LINE

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 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 (RO) 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 an RO water filter can result in hollow ice cubes.

This water line installation is not warranted by the refrigerator or ice maker 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.

For LCD Models: If the refrigerator is operated before the water connection is made to the ice maker, see ICE MAKER under “settings” menu of the LCD Operations section and follow the screen commands to turn the ice maker OFF.

Do not install the ice maker 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.

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.

ROUTE THE TUBING

Route the tubing between the cold water line

and the refrigerator.

Route the tubing through a hole drilled in the

wall or floor (behind the refrigerator or adjacent base cabinet) as close to the wall as possible.

FLUSH OUT THE TUBING

Turn the main water supply on and flush out the tubing until the water is clear.

Shut the water off at the water valve after about one quart (1 liter), or 2 minutes, of water has been flushed through the tubing.

To complete the installation of the refrigerator, go back to Step 11 in Installing the Refrigerator.

Normal operating conditions.

Newer refrigerators sound different from older refrigerators. Modern refrigerators have more features and use newer technology.

Do you hear what I hear? These sounds are normal.

HUMMM...

WHOOSH...



The new high efficiency compressor may run faster and longer than your old refrigerator and you may hear a high-pitched hum or pulsating sound while it is operating.



You may hear a whooshing sound when the doors close. This is due to pressure equalizing within the refrigerator.

After dispensing ice, a motor will close the ice chute to keep



warn room air from entering the ice bucket, maintaining ice at a freezing temperature.

The hum of the motor closing the ice chute is normal, shortly after dispensing ice.



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.



The fans change speeds in order to provide optimal cooling and energy savings.

CLICKS, POPS,

CRACKS and SNAPS



You may hear cracking or popping sounds when the refrigerator is first plugged in. This happens as the refrigerator cools to the correct temperature.



Expansion and contraction of cooling coils during and after defrost can cause a cracking or popping sound.



On models with an ice maker, after an ice making cycle, you may hear the ice cubes dropping into the ice bucket.



On models with a dispenser, during water dispense, you may hear the water lines move at initial dispense and after dispenser button is released.

START UP COOLING

It can take up to 24 hours for the refrigerator and freezer temperatures to match the display. During that time refrigerator and freezer door openings should be minimized.

TIPS



Freezer cools first. Refrigerator compartment cools last; it may take several



hours after the freezer. Turning off ice maker makes both fresh food and freezer



food cool faster.

WATER SOUNDS



The flow of refrigerant through the 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 water 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.

Truth or Myth

Truth or Myth? Answer Explanation

The refrigerator water filter may require replacement, even though the filter indicator has not turned red, or reads “Filter Expired.”

The automatic ice maker in my refrigerator will produce ice when the refrigerator is plugged in to a power receptacle.

After the refrigerator has been plugged in and connected to water, I will immediately have unlimited chilled water available from the water dispenser.

After water dispenses, a few drops of water are normal.

I will never see frost inside the freezer compartment. MYTH Frost inside the freezer typically indicates that the door is not properly

When the refrigerator is installed, or after replacing the water filter, I must dispense water for five minutes.

To fill the ice bucket to the maximum capacity, I should dispense 12 and 18 hours after installation.

I can use the water filter bypass plug to determine if the filter requires replacement.

I can make fine adjustments to the fresh food doors to align them.

Door handles should always be removed for installation.

TRUE The water filter indicator will indicate the need to replace the water filter

every six months. Water quality varies from city to city; if water flow from the dispenser slows, or ice production decreases, the water filter should be replaced, even though the filter indicator may not indicate the need for replacement.

MYTH The refrigerator must be connected to water, and the ice maker must be

turned on. Make sure the ice maker is turned on, only after the water line is connected and water is turned on. The ice maker can be turned on/ off from the controls and ensure the ice maker is on, as indicated on the refrigerator control panel. See About the Automatic Ice Maker.

MYTH The water dispenser tank located inside the refrigerator stores water

for dispensing. The water in this tank requires 24 hours to chill after installation. High usage conditions will not allow time for the water to chill.

TRUE A few drops of water may fall from the dispenser, after the dispenser

paddle has been released. To minimize the drops, remove the glass slowly from the dispenser.
