SAFETYPRECAUTIONS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:

This refi_igerator must be properly installed and located in accordance with the Installation

Instructions before it is used.

Do not allow children to climb, st;rod or hang on the shelves in the reti_igerato_: They could

damage the refrigerator and seriously iqjure themselves.

Do not touch the cold stu_i_ces in the fl'eezer compartment when hands are damp or wet. Skin

may stick to these extremely cold sudaces.

Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable \:q)o_s and liquids in the vicinity ot this or any other appliance.

In refl_gerato_ with automatic icemake_,

avoid contact with the moving parts of the ejector mechanism, or with the heating element

located on the bottom of the icemake_; Do not place finge_s or hands on the automatic

icemaking mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged in.

Keep finget_ out ot the "pinch point" areas; clearances between the doo_ and between

the doo_ and cabinet are necessarily small. Be caretul closing doo_ when children are

in the area.

Unplug the refrigerator betore cleaning and

USEOFEXTENSIONCORDS

Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against the use of an extension cord.

However; ifxou must use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a Ui,-listed (in the United States) or a (;SA-listed (in (:anada), B-wire grotmding type al)pliance extension cord haxing a grotmding

type i)lug and outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord be 15 amperes (minimmn) and 120 xolts.

IMPORTANTSAFETYINFORMATION. READALLINSTRUCTIONSBEFOREUSING.

WARNING!

HOWTOCONNECTELECTRICITY

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

personal safer)4,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 (gromMing) wall outlet to minimize the possibili F of electric shock haa_rd

from this appliance. Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a

qualified electfidan to make sure the outlet is i)roperly grotmded.

If the outlet is a standard 9-prong outlet, it is

yore" personal responsibili_' and obligation to

have it replaced with a i)roperly grotmded 3-prong wall outlet.

The refl{gerator should alwa D be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a w)ltage rating that matches the rating plate.

This provides the best pe_l'om_ance and also I)rexents oxerloading, house wiring circuits which

could cause a fire hazard from oxerheated wires. Never uni)lug your refl{gerator by pulling on

the power cord. Mwavs grip plug firefly and pull straight out fl'om the outlet,

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

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

\4_hen moving the refrigerator away fl'om the wall, be carefld not to roll over or damage the power cord.

USEOFADAPTERPLUGS(Adapterplug_notpermittedinCanada)

Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against the use of an adapter plug.

Howevet; if'you, must use an adaptet; where local codes pemfit, a temporary connection may be made

to a l)roperly grotmded 2-prong wall outlet by use of a UI Aisted adapter a\:filable at most local

hai'dware stoFes,

The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned with the larger slot in the wall outlet to provide proper

polarity in the com_ecfion of the power cord.

When (lisc(mnecting the power cord fl'om the

a(lapte_; alwa_:s hold the adal)ter in place with one hand while pulling the power cord l)lug with the other hand. If this is not done, the adapter grotmd

temfinal is very likely to break with repeated use.

If the adapter grotmd temfinal breaLs, DO NOT

USEthe refrigerator until a proper ground has

been established.

Attaching the adapter ground terminal to a wall outlet cover screw does not ground the appliance unless the

cover screw is metal, and not insulated, and the waft outlet is grounded through the house wiring. Youshould

have the circuit checkedby a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly groundec{

INSTALLING THE REFRIGERATOR (CONT,)

[] CONNECTING THE REFRIGERATOR

TO THE HOUSE WATER LINE (icemaker and dispenser models)

A cold water supply is required for automatic icemaker and dispenser operation. If there is not a cold water supply, you will need to provide one. See "Installing the Water Line" section.

NOTES:

Before making the connection to the refrigerator, be sure the refrigerator power cord is not plugged into the wall

outlet.

• If your refrigerator does not have a water filter, we recommend installing

one if your water supply has sand or particles that could clog the screen of

the refrigerator's water valve. Install it

in the water line near the refrigerator. If using GE SmartConnect TM Refrigerator

Tubing Kit, you will need an additional tube (WX08X10002) to connect the filter.

Do not cut plastic tube to install filter.

[] If you are using copper tubing, place a

compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) onto

the end of the tubing coming from the

house cold water supply.

If you are using the GE SmartConnect TM tubing, the nuts are already assembled to the tubing.

[] If you are using copper tubing, insert

the end of the tubing into the refrigerator

connection, at the back of the refrigerator,

as far as possible. While holding the tubing, tighten the fitting.

If you are using GE SmartConnect TM tubing, insert the molded end of the

tubing into the refrigerator connection,

at the back of the refrigerator, and tighten the compression nut until it is hand tight.

Then tighten one additional turn with a wrench. Overtightening may cause leaks.

[] Fasten the tubing into the clamp provided

to hold it in position. You may need to pry

open the clamp.

[] LEVEL THE REFRIGERATOR

The refrigerator can be leveled by

adjusting the rollers located near the

bottom hinges.

_"""""_ Rol Iers

Rollers have three purposes:

• Rollers adjust so the door closes easily when opened about halfway. (Raise the

front about 5/8" [16 mm] from the floor.)

• Rollers adjust so the refrigerator is firmly positioned on the floor and does

not wobble.

• Rollers allow you to move the

refrigerator away from the wall for

cleaning.

Installation Instructions

INSTALLING THE WATER LINE (ICEMAKER & DISPENSER MODELS)

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Recommended copper water supply kits are

WX8X2, WX8X3 or WX8X4, depending on the

amount of tubing you need. Approved plastic

water supply lines are GE SmartConnect TM

Refrigerator Tubing (WX08X10002,

WX08X10006, WX08X10015 and WX08X 10025).

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 RO 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.

If you use your refrigerator before connecting the water line, make sure the icemaker power

switch is in the O (off) position.

Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas where temperatures fall below freezing.

When using any electrical device (such as a

power drill) during installation, be sure the

device is double insulated or grounded in a

manner to prevent the hazard of electric

shock, or is battery powered. All installations must be in accordance with

local plumbing code requirements.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED

• Copper or GE SmartConnect TM Refrigerator Tubing kit, 1/4" outer diameter to connect the refrigerator to the water supply. If using copper, be sure both ends of the tubing are cut square.

To determine how much tubing you need: measure the distance from the water valve on

the back of the refrigerator to the water supply pipe. Then add 8' (2.4 m). Be sure there is sufficient extra tubing (about 8' [2.4 m]

coiled into 3 turns of about 10" [25 cm] diameter) to allow the refrigerator to move

out from the wall after installation. GE SmartConnect TMRefrigerator Tubing Kits

are available in the following lengths: 2' (0.6 m) - WX08X10002

6' (1.8 m) -WX08X10006

15' (4.6 m) - WX08X10015

25' (7.6 m) - WX08X10025

Be sure that the kit you select allows at least

8' (2.4 m) as described above.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED (CONT.)

NOTE: The only GE approved plastic tubing

is that supplied in GE SmartConnect TM 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 and cause water damage to your home.

• AGE water supply kit (containing tubing, shutoff valve and fittings listed below) is available at extra cost from your dealer or

from Parts and Accessories, 800.626.2002

(in Canada 1.888.261.3055).

• A cold water supply. The water pressure must be between 20 and 120 p.s.i. (1.4-8.1 bar).

• Power drill.

• 1/2" or adjustable wrench.

• Straight and Phillips blade screwdriver.

frequently used drinking water line.

[] SHUT OFF THE MAIN WATER

SUPPLY

Turn on the nearest faucet long enough

to clear the line of water.

[] CHOOSE THE VALVE LOCATION

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.

• Two 1/4" outer diameter compression nuts

and 2 ferrules (sleeves)--to connect the

copper tubing to the shutoff valve and the

refrigerator water valve. OR

• If you are using a GE SmartConnect TM Refrigerator Tubing kit, the necessary

fittings are preassembled to the tubing.

• If your existing copper 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 refrigerator 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 SmartConnect TMRefrigerator tubing.

• Shutoff valve to connect to the cold water line. The shutoff valve 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 shutoff valves are

included in many water supply kits. Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve

complies with your local plumbing codes.

DRILL THE HOLE FOR THE VALVE

[]

Drill a 1/4" hole in the water pipe (even if using a 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.
