WARNING!

HOWTOCONNECTELECTRICITY

Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. For

personal safe_ this appfiance 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 possibili F of electric shock hazard

fl'om this appliance. Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a

qualified electridan to make sure the outlet is propedy grounded.

If the outlet is a standard 2-prong outlet, it is _mr personal responsibili F and obligation to have it

replaced with a propedy grounded %prong wall outlet.

The refl_igerator, should ahvavs, beI)lugged,, into its own indixidual electrical outlet which has a xoltage rating that matches the rating plate.

This provides the best perlimnance and also I)rexents oxerloading, house wiring circuits which

could cause a fire hazard from oxerheated wires.

Never unplug )'our refl_igerator by pulling on the power cord. Mways grip plug firefly and pull

straight out fl'oln the outlet.

Repair or replace immediately all power cords that have become ti'ayed or otherwise damaged. Do not

use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either end.

\4]_en moving the refi_igerator away from the wall, be careflfl not to roll over or damage the power cord.

Important Facts About Your Dispenser

iJi::Do not ::1(1(1ice ti'om trm:s or bags to

the storage bin. It may not crush or dispense well.

iJi::Avoid ove_tilling glass with ice and use ()I

narrow glasses. Backed-up ice can jam tile chute or catlse tile door in tile chute to

ti'eeze shut. If ice is blocking the chute, poke it through with a wooden spoon.

iJi::Beverages and fi)ods should not be

quick-chilled in the ice storage bin. Cans, bottles or fi)od packages in tile

storage bin may cause tile icemaker

or auger to jam.

iJi::To kee I) dispensed ice fl'om missing

the glass, put the glass close to, but not touching, the dispenser opening.

iJi::Some crushed ice may be dispensed even

though you selected CUBEDICE.This hapl)ens occasionally when a low cubes

have been left in tile crusher.

iJi::_Mter crushed ice is dispensed, some

water may drip fl'om tile chute.

iJi::Sometimes a small mo/md (ffsnow will

t0m_ on tile door in tile ice chum. This condition is nomml and usually occm_

when w)u have dispensed crushed ice

repeatedly. Tile snow will eventually evaporate.

_: Tile fi_t glass ot water dispensed may be

w;mner than the tollowing ones. This is

noii/lal.

_: Dispensed water is not ice cold. For

colder water; simply add crushed ice or cubes befi)re dispensing water:

WX08X10025). When connecting yore" refl'igerator to a GE Reverse

()smosis _'_ater S}_stem, the only approved installation

is with a GE RVKit. For other revelse osmosis water systems, follow the mansffhctm'er's recmmnendations.

If the water sui)i)ly to the iefl'igerator is ti'om a P,everse

()smosis _'LJter Filtration System AND the reii'igerator also has a water filtei, use the refl'igerator's filter bypass plug. Llsing the refl'igerator's water filtration cartridge ill col_jsmction with the RO filter can result in hollow

ice cubes and slower water flow fl'om the water

dispenser. This water lisle installation is not warranted by the

refl'igerator or icemaker mansffhcturer. Follow these instructions carefully to minimize the risk of expensive

water damage.

_'Laer lmmmer (water banging in the pipes) ill house plmnbing can cause damage to refl'igerator parts and

lead to water leakage or flooding. (;all a qualified plmnber to correct water lmmmer beflwe installing

the water supply lisle to the refi'igerator. To prevent burns and product damage, do slot hook

up the water line to the hot water lisle.

If you use votlr refl'igerator bet/re connecting the water line, make sure the icemaker power switch is in

the 0 (off) position.

Do not install tile icemaker robing in areas where

temperatures fhll below fl'eezing. When using ally electrical device (such as a power

drill) dm'ing installation, be sure the device is double insulated or grotmded in a maxmer to pievent the

hazard of electric shock, or is battery powered. All installations must be in accordance with local

phm/bing code requirements.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED

• Copper or GE SmartConnect" Refrigerator Tubing kit, l/4" outer dialneter to connect the reli'igerator to the water supply, If using copper, be sure both ends of the tubing are cut square.

To deteiinine how inuch tubing you need: nleasure tile distance ti'oln the water valve on the back of the

reli'igerator to the water supply pipe. Then add 8'

(2.4 I/l). Be sure there is sufficient extra tubing (about

8' [2.4 Ill] coiled into 3 turns of about 10" [25 cm] diameter) to allow the reli'igerator to move otlt ti'oIll

the wall atier installation. GE SnmrtConnect'" Refl'igerator Tubing lZdts are

awfilable in the fi_llowing lengths: 2' (0.6 Ill) -- _4_X08X10002 6' (1.8 Ill) -- WX08X10006

15' (4.6 Ill) -- WX08X10015

25' (7.6 I/l) -- WX08X10025 Be sure that the kit vou select allows at least 8' (2.4 I/l)

as described above.

NOTE: The only GE approved plastic tubing is that

supplied in GE SmartCmmect'" Refrigerator Tubing kits. Do not use any other plastic water supply line because the line is under pressure at all times. Certain

types of plastic will crack or rupture with age mid cause water damage to your home.

WARNING - Connect to potable

water supply only.

Installation instructions

WHAT YOU WILL NEED (CONT.)

Install the shutoff valve on the nearest frequently used drinking water line.

• A GE water supply kit (containing tubing, shutoff wflve and fittings listed below) is awfilable at extra

cost flxm_ vour dealer or fl'om Parts and Accessories,

800.626.2009.

• A cold water supply. The water pressure must be between 20 and 190 p.s.i. (1.4-8.2 bar) on models without a water filter and between 40 and 190 p.s.i.

(2.8-8.2 bar) on models with a water filter.

• Power drill.

• 1/2" or adjustable wrench.

• Straight mad Phillips blade screwdriver.

• Two 1/4" outer diameter compression nuts and

2 ferrules (sleeves)--to connect the COl)per tubing to the shutoff valve and the refrigerator

water walve.

• If wm are using a GE Slnart(_olmect _'_Refl'igerator Tubing kit, the necessa_ y fittings are preassembled to

the tubing.

• If wmr existing COl)per water line has a flared fitting at the end, you will need an adapter (available at plumbing supply stores) to connect the water line to

the refl'igerator OR you can cut off the flared fitting

with a tube cutter and then use a compression fitting.

Do not cut formed end from GE SnlartConnect'" Refl'igerator tubing.

[] SHUT OFF THE MAiN WATER

SUPPLY

Turn on the nearest taucet long enouoh_ to clear the line of water.

[] CHOOSE THE VALVE LOCATION

Choose a location fl_r 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 awfid drawing off anv sediment from the

water pipe.

[] DRILL THE HOLE FOR THE VALVE

Drill a 1/4" hole in the water pipe (even it using a sell:piercing wflve) using a sharp bit. Remove any burI_ resulting fl'oin drilling the hole in the pipe.

Take care not to allow water to drain into the drill, Faihu'e to drill a 1/4" hole may result in reduced

ice production or smaller cubes.

• Shutoff valve to connect to the cold water line. The shutoff wflve should have a water inlet with a

minimum inside diameter of 5/32" at the point of

connection to the COLD WATER LINE. Saddle-type

shutoffvalves are included in many water supply kits.

Betore imrchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve complies with vom" local plumbing codes.

Newer refrigerators sound different from older refrigerators.

Modem refrigerators have more features and use newer

technology.

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

HUMMM...

--WHOOSH...

• The new high efficienc) compressor ma) Hm faster

and hmger than wmr old refl'igerator and wm may hear a high-i)itched hum or pulsating sound while

it is operating.

• Sometimes the reiiigerator runs tor an extended period,

especially when the doox_ are opened ti'equently. This means that the FrostGuarg"feature is working to

prevent fl'eezer burn and improve tood preservation.

• Y)m may hear a whooshing sound when the (loox_ close.

This is due to pressure equalizing within the reli_igeratox:

CLICKS, POPS,

CRACKS and CHIRPS

• You may hear cracking or i)oi)ping sotmds when the

refl'igerator is first plugged in. This hal)pens as the refl'igerator 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 sotmd when attempting to restart (this could take

up to 5 minutes).

• The electronic control board may catxse a clicking sound when relays activate to control refrigerator

coI/ll)OIleIltS,

• Expansion and contraction of cooling coils during and atter defrost can cause a cracking or i)oi)ping

sound.

• On models with an icemakex; atter an icemaking cycle, you may hear the ice cubes dropping into

the ice bucket.

WHIR!

• You mav hear the tans spinning at high speeds. This hal)pens when the reti'igerator is first plugged

in, when the doors are opened ti'equently or when a large aXllOtXXltof tood is added to the refrigerator

or ti'eezer compartments. The tans are helping to maintain the correct temperatures.

• If either door is open fin" over 3 minutes, you may hear the tans come on in order to cool the light

bulbs.

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

WATERSOUNDS

• The flow of refl'igerant through the fl'eezer cooling coils may make a gm'gling noise like boiling water,

• _A'ater dropping on the defl'ost heater can cause a sizzling, i)oi)ping or buzzing sound dm'ing the
