IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

 This refrigerator must be properly installed and located in

accordance with the Installation Instructions before it is used.

 Unplug the refrigerator before making repairs, replacing a light

bulb, or cleaning. Note: Power to the refrigerator cannot be disconnected by any setting on the control panel. Note: Repairs must be performed by a qualified service professional.

 Replace all parts and panels before operating.  Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and

liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

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

refrigerator follow these basic safety precautions:



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 fresh food and freezer doors from any refrigerator before disposing of it or discontinuing its use.

 Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang on the door

handles or the shelves in the refrigerator. They could seriously injure themselves.

State of California Proposition 65 Warnings:

WARNING

CAUTION

 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.

This product contains one or more chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.

To reduce the risk of injury when using your refrigerator, follow these basic

safety precautions.

 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 refreeze frozen foods which have thawed completely.  In refrigerators with automatic icemakers, 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.

SAFETY (CONT.)

INSTALLATION

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.

WARNING

Tip Over Hazard.

Built-in style models (model PYE, CYE, GYE, DYE, PWE, CWE, and ZWE) 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

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.

Electrical Shock Hazard.

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, 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

SAFETY

HOT WATER DISPENSER

WARNING

Scalding Hazard.

The hot water dispenser is capable of heating water to a temperature of approximately 185°F (85°C). Water temperatures above 125°F (52°C) can cause severe burns or death from scalding. Children, the disabled, and the elderly are at highest risk of being scalded.

Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner’s Manual. To reduce the risk of severe burns, scald injuries, or death when using your hot water dispenser, the instructions below must be followed:

 Do not permit children to use the hot water dispenser.  The water coming from the dispenser is very hot. Use

extreme caution when dispensing and drinking water. Allow water to cool to a drinkable temperature before drinking.

 When dispensing water below 125ÛF, always test the

temperature of the water before drinking.

 When dispensing hot water, the container can become

very hot. Use a temperature insulating container, such as ceramic or foam. Using container materials such as paper or plastic may result in a burn while holding the cup. Do not use glass containers, as thermal shock can cause the container to break and may result in scalding or lacerations.

 Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of

unknown quality.

 Your container should be close to the dispensing point to

minimize the splashing of hot water.

 A newly installed water filter cartridge will cause water to

spurt from the dispenser. Run 2 gallons of water through the cold water dispenser (about 5 minutes) to remove air from the system. Until this air is removed from the system

through the cold water dispenser, DO NOT use the hot water dispenser as it may result in spurting of hot water and lead to hot water scalding.

 The first time the hot water feature is used, confirm if

you live above 5000 feet (high altitude). This limits the temperature of the hot water system to avoid boiling. To access the high altitude selection, press Fridge and Door Alarm and control will cycle from Hi AL to Lo AL (high altitude to low altitude).

 The hot water dispenser is designed to only dispense water.

Do not attempt to heat or dispense anything other than water. Do not attempt to disassemble or clean the tank.

 The hot water dispensing tank is a non-pressurized tank,

with a vent on the tank and a dispenser tube outlet. Do not modify the system, close or block the dispense tube, or connect any other type of device to the tank or dispense tube. Doing so may lead to rupture of the tank and hot water scalding.

PROPER DISPOSAL OF YOUR OLD REFRIGERATOR

WARNING

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:

Suffocation and child entrapment hazard.

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.

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 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.



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.

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® RPWFE water filter cartridge. GEAppliances.com

Water Filter Cartridge

The water filter cartridge is located in the fresh food interior on the left side wall, near the top.

This product uses radio frequency identification (RFID) to detect leaks and monitor filter status. The RFID technology is certified by the FCC.

FCCID: ZKJ-EBX1532P001 ICID: 10229A-EBX1532P001

“This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.”

“This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.”

When to replace the filter cartridge

The filter cartridge should be replaced every six months or earlier if 170 gallons of water has been dispensed or 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 will automatically update when the filter is replaced.

Non-touch Screen Models: A filter indicator light will illuminate on the screen when the water filter needs to be replaced.

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 CARTRIDGE. A small amount of water may drip out.

Installing the Filter Cartridge

1. Align top of filter cartridge with cartridge holder with the word “FRONT” facing outward then push the cartridge toward the rear of the unit until it is fully seated. DO NOT TWIST THE FILTER CARTRIDGE!

2. While continuing to ensure cartridge is fully seated in the holder, gently swing the filter inward until it is in position. If filter will not swing easily, check to ensure filter is properly aligned and fully seated within the cartridge holder. Close the filter door.

Push \ Pull

3. Run two 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 a large pitcher or sports bottle to catch the

water spray. DO NOT use hands-free auto-fill (some models) until all air is removed from the system.

4. Reset Filter Status message (non-touch screen models).

WARNING

Use of 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.

About the automatic ice maker. GEAppliances.com

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

WARNING

Ice maker

Feeler Arm

Automatic Ice Maker* 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 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.

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 be joined 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.

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.

Care and cleaning of the refrigerator.

Cleaning the Outside

The stainless steel panels, door handles and trim.

The stainless steel doors and door handles (on some models) can be cleaned with a commercially available stainless steel cleaner. Cleaners with oxalic acid such as Bar Keepers Friend Soft Cleanser™ will remove surface rust, tarnish and small blemishes. Use only a liquid cleanser free of grit and rub in the direction of the brush lines with a damp soft sponge. Do not use appliance wax or polish on the stainless steel.

Cleaning the Inside

Silver-accented plastic parts.

Wash parts with soap or other mild detergents. Wipe clean with a sponge, damp cloth or paper towel. Do not use scouring pads, powdered cleaners, bleach or cleaners containing bleach because these products can scratch and weaken the paint finish. Do not wash tray in the dishwasher.

Should metal spill tray need cleaning use lime remover.

To help prevent odors, leave an open box of baking soda in

the refrigerator and freezer compartments.

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 an appliance wax polish on the inside surface between the doors.

tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda to a quart (1 liter) of water. This both cleans and neutralizes odors. Rinse and wipe dry.

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.

Raise the leveling legs located at the bottom front of the refrigerator.

Preparing for Vacation

CAUTION

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.

Do not wash any plastic refrigerator parts in the dishwasher.

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.

Lower the leveling legs until they touch the floor.

When pushing the refrigerator back, make sure you don’t roll over the power cord or water supply line.

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.

If the temperature can drop below freezing, have a qualified service technician drain the water supply system to prevent serious property damage due to flooding.

1) Turn refrigerator off (pg. 9) or unplug the refrigerator.

2) Empty ice bucket

3) Turn water supply off

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.

If you cut the water supply off, turn off the ice maker (pg. 21).

Upon returning from vacation:

1) Replace the water filter.

2) Run 2 gallons of water through the cold water dispenser (about 5 minutes) to flush the system.

Handle only from the sides of the refrigerator.

Be sure the refrigerator stays in an upright position during moving.
