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.

DANGER

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

WARNING

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

CAUTION

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

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

 Replace all parts and panels before operating.  Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we

 To prevent suffocation and entrapment hazards to children,

 Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and

 Power to the refrigerator cannot be disconnected by any

Professional.

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.

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

liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

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 injure 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.

 Do not refreeze frozen foods which have thawed completely.  Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice (on models with ice

dispenser)

INSTALLATION

WARNING

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

Explosion Hazard.

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

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.

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.

 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.





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 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 automatic ice maker.

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

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.

WARNING

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. GEAppliances.com

Cleaning the Outside

The stainless steel panels, door handles and trim.

Do not use appliance wax, polish, bleach, or other products containing chlorine on stainless steel. Stainless steel (on some models) can be cleaned with a commercially available stainless steel cleaner. A spray-on stainless steel cleaner works best.

Cleaning the Inside

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.

8VHZDUPZDWHUDQGEDNLQJVRGDVROXWLRQ³DERXWD

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

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.

Should spill tray need cleaning use lime remover.

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.

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

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.

LCD Models: turn refrigerator off at control (pg 7) . 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.

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.

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.

1) Turn refrigerator off (pg. 7) or unplug the refrigerator.

2) Empty ice bucket

3) Turn water supply off

If you cut the water supply off, turn off the ice maker (pg. 18).

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.

Replacing the lights.

Refrigerator Lights (LEDs)

There is LED lighting in fresh food compartment and on the bottom of the fresh food doors to light the freezer compartment.*

An authorized technician will need to replace the LED light.

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.
