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 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,
Becauseof potential safety hazards under certain conditions,
we strongly recommend against the useof an extension cord,
However,ifyou must use an extensioncord, it isabsolutely necessarythat it be a UL-listed(inthe United States)or a CSA certified (inCanada),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,
IMPORTANT SAFETYINSTRUCTIONS

Important Facts About Your Dispenser
, Do not add ice from trays or bags to the storage bin, It may
not crush or dispense well, 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, poke it through with a wooden spoon,
Beverages and foods should not be quick-chilled in the ice
storage bin, Cans, bottles or food packages in the storage bin may cause the icemaker or auger to jam,
To keep dispensed ice from missing the glass, put the glass close to, but not touching, the dispenser opening,
About the automatic icemaker.
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,
Some crushed ice may be dispensed even though you selected C_becLThis happens occasionally when a few cubes
have been left in 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, The first glass of water dispensed may be warmer than the
following ones, This is normal,
, Dispensed water is not ice cold, For colder water, simply add
crushed ice or cubes before dispensing water,
Icemaker Accessory Kit
If your refrigerator did not come already equipped with an automatic icemaker, an icemaker accessory kit is available at extra cost, Check the back of the refrigerator for the specific icemaker kit needed for your model,
About the automatic icemaker.
A newly-installed refrigerator may take 12-24 hours to begin making ice.
Automatic Icemaker (on some models)
When the refrigerator has been connected to the water supply, slide the power switch to the
ON position, The icemaker will fill with water when it cools
to 15°F, When the bin fills to the level of the feeler arm, the icemaker will stop producing
ice,
Power Switch
Be sure nothing interferes with the sweep of the feeler arm,
About th er filter cartrid e. som
Throw away the first few batches of ice to allow the water line to clear,
The icemaker will produce seven cubes
per cycle-approximately !00-!30
cubes in a 24-hour period, depending on freezer compartment temperature, room
temperature, number of door openings and other use conditions,
You will hear a buzzing sound each time the
icemaker fills with water,
Water filter cartridge The water filter cartridge is located inthe back upper right corner of
the refrigerator compartment.
When to replace the filter on models [] with a replacement indicator light
There is a replacement indicator light for the water filter cartridge on the dispenser. This light will turn orange to
tell you that you need to replace the filter soon. The filter cartridge should be replaced wlqen the replacement
indicator light turns red or if the flow of water to the dispenser or icemaker decreases.
When to replace the filter on models without a replacement indicator light
The filter cartridge should be replaced every six months or earlier if the flow of water to the dispenser or
icemaker decreases.
Removing the filter cartridge
Ifyou are replacing the cartridge, first remove the old one by slowly turning itto the left. Do not pull down on the cartridge. A
small amount of water may drip down. CAUTION: To reduce the risk associated with property damage due
to water leakage, read and follow instructions before installation and use of this system. Installation and use MUSTcomply with all
state and local plumbing codes.
Installing the filter cartridge H Fill the replacement cartridge with water from the tap
to allow for better flow from the dispenser immediately after installation.
Line up the arrow on the cartridge and the cartridge holder. Place the top of the new cartridge up inside the holder.
Donotpush it up into the holder. Slowly turn it to the right until the filter
cartridge stops. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. As you turn the cartridge, it will
automatically raise itself into position. The cartridge will move about a Y_turn.

INSTALLING THE WATER LINE
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Recommended copper water supply kits are WXSX2, WXSX3 or WXSX4, depending on the amount of tubing you need, Approved plastic water supply lines are GE SmartConnect T=Refrigerator Tubing (WXOSX10002, WXOSX10006, WXOSX10015 and WXOSX10025),
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 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 the Re filter can result in hollow ice cubes and slower water flow from the water dispenser,
This water line installation is not warranted by the
refrigerator or icemaker 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,

Installation Instructions
rTl SHUT OFF MAIN WATER SUPPLY
D DRILL THE HOLE FOR THE VALVE
Choose a location for the valve that is easily accessible, It is best to connect into the side of a
vertical water pipe, When it is necessary to connect
into a horizontal water pipe, make the connection to the top or side, rather than at the bottom, to avoid drawing off any sediment from the water pipe,
Drill (_1/4" hole in the water pipe (even if using (_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,
?
D CONNECT THE TUBING TO THE VALVE
i
Place the compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for
copper tubing onto the end of the tubing and connect
it to the shutoff valve, Make sure the tubing is fully inserted into the valve,
Tighten the compression nut securely,
For plastic tubing from a GE SmartConnect TM
Refrigerator Tubing kit, insert the molded end of the tubing into the shutoff valve and tighten compression nut until it is hand tight, then tighten one additional turn with a wrench, Overtightening may
cause leaks,

Do you hear what I
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.
[] Sometimes the refrigerator runs for an extended period,
especially when the doors are opened frequently. This means that the Frost Guard TM feature is working to
prevent freezer burn and improve food preservation.
[] You may hear a whooshing sound when the doors close.
This is due to pressure equalizing within the refrigerator.
CLICKS,POPS,
CRACKSand CHIRPS
[] You may hear cracking or popping sounds when the
refrigerator is first plugged in. This happens as the refrigerator cools to the correct temperature.
[] Electronic dampers click open and closed to provide
optimal cooling and energy savings.
[] The compressor may cause a clicking or chirping
sound when attempting to restart (this could take up to 5 minutes).
[] The electronic control board may cause a clicking
sound when relays activate to control refrigerator components.
[] Expansion and contraction of cooling coils during and
after defrost can cause a cracking or popping sound.
[] On models with an icemaker, after an icemaking cycle,
you may hear the ice cubes dropping into the ice bucket.
hear? These sounds are normal.
WHIR!
[] 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,
[] If either door is open for over 3 minutes, you may hear
the fans come on in order to cool the light bulbs,
[] The fans change speeds in order to provide optimal
cooling and energy savings,

[] The flow of refrigerant through the freezer 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,
