REFRIGERATOR SAFETY INFORMATION

_This is the safety alert symbol, This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others, All safety

messages will follow the safety alert symbol and the word "DANGER","WARNING",or "CAUTION", These words are defined as;

Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury,

Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury,

Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury,

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

To reduce the risk of fire, explosion, electric shock, or injury when using your

refrigerator follow these basic safety precautions:

This refrigerator must be properly installed and located in

accordance with the Installation Instructions before it is used, Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and making repairs,

NOTE; Repairs must be performed by a qualified Service

Professional,

Replace all parts and panels before operating, 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 certified (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,

To prevent suffocation and entrapment hazards to children,

Remove the flesh food and freezer doors from any refrigerator before disposing of it or discontinuing its use,

Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance,

Power to the refrigerator cannot be disconnected by any setting on the control panel, refrigerator must be unplugged to remove power.

Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang on the door handles or the shelves in the refrigerator. They could seriously ir)jure

themselves.

In refrigerators with automatic ice makers, avoid contact with

the moving parts of the ejector mechanism, or with the heating

element that releases the cubes, Do not place fingers or hands on the automatic ice making mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged in,

Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when they are cold, Glass shelves and covers may break if exposed to sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping or

dropping, Tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small

pieces if it breaks,

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,

Do not touch the cold surfaces in the freezer compartment when

hands are damp or wet, skin may stick to these extremely cold

surfaces,

i Do not refreeze frozen foods which have thawed completely,

Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice (on models with ice

dispenser)

INSTALLATION

_Explosion Hazard.

Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from refrigerator. result in fire, explosion, or death.

Failure to do so can

GEAppliances.com

_1_/_ 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

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 an]/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, 15- or 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,

PROPERDISPOSAL OF YOUR OLD REFRIGERATOR

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 'lust 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

Refrigerants

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 repk]ced every 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 repk]ced. The filter status message must be reset manually.

The "Water Filter: Repk]ce" status message can be reset by

entering the Settings menu from the home screen. Then, select the Water Filter menu and press the RESETbutton. This will reset the filter status.

Non-touch Screen Models: A filter indicator light (or message) will illuminate on the screen when the waterfilter 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 thefilter 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. Iffilter will not swing

easily, check to ensure filter is properly aligned and fully seated within the

cartridge holder. Run 2 gallons of water through the cold

water dispenser (about 5 minutes) to remove air from the system. A newly

installed filter cartridqe will cause water to spurt from the dispenser. Use

a large pitcher or sports bottle to catch 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 RESETbutton through the Water

Filter menu. Non-touch Screen Models: Press and hold the Reset Filter button

for three seconds.

A ARNING 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 dispensen 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.

About the automatic ice maker.

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

Automatic Ice Maker*

Icemaker The ice maker 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, The ice maker will fill with water when it cools to

FeelerArm 15°F (-10°C), A newly installed refrigerator may

take 12 to 24 hours to begin making ice cubes, If the refrigerator is operated before the water

line connection is made to the unit or if the water supply to an operating refrigerator is

turned off, make sure that the ice maker is turned off, Once the water has been connected

to the refrigerator, the ice maker may be turned on, See the table below for details,

To minimize the risk of personal injury, avoid contact with the moving parts of the ejector mechanism, or with the heating element that releases the cubes. Do not place fingers or hands on the automatic ice making mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged in.

You may hear a buzzing sound each time the ice maker 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 ice maker will stop producing ice, It is normal for several cubes to bejoined together,

If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes will become cloudy, taste stale and shrink,

NOTE: In homes with lower-than-average water pressure, you may hear the ice maker cycle multiple times when making one batch of ice,
