A DANGER!RISKOFCHILDENTRAPMENT

PROPERDISPOSALOFTHEREFRIGERATOR

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 refiigemtor,
please follow the instructions below to help prevent

accidents.

BeforeYouThrowAway YourOldRefrigerator
orFreezer:.

1 Take off the doors.

• Leave the shelves in place so that children may

not easily climb inside.

CFCDisposal

Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system
that used CFCs (chlorofluorocarbous). CFCs are

believed to harm stratospheric ozone.
If you are throwing away your old refrigerator, make

sure the CFC refrigemt is removed for proper
disposal by a qualified servicer. If you intentionally

release this CFC refrigerant you can be subject to

fines and imprisonment under provisions of

environmental legislation.

USEOFEXTENSIONCORDS

Because ofpotential safety hazards under certain condi#ons, we strongly recommend
against the use of an extension cord.

However, ffyou must use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL-listed (in the United
States) or a _A-listed (in Canada), 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding

type plug and oudet and that the electrical rating of the cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 190 volts.

A WARNING!

HOWTOCONNECTELECTRICITY

Do no_ 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 electxic shock hazard

from this appliance.

Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a
qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is

properly grounded.
If the oudet is a standard 2-prong outlet, it isyour

personal responsibility and obligation to have it
replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall

outlet.

The refrigerator should always be plugged into its
own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage

rating that matches the rating plate.

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 fi'om the oudeL

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.

USEOFADAPTERPLUGS(Adap_rplog,not_,_i,_inCanada)

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

However, ffyou must use an adapter, where local
codes permit, a temp0raty connectionmay be made

to a properly grounded 2-prong wall outlet by use
ofa UL-listed adapter available at most local

hardware stores.

The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned with

the larger slot in the wall outlet to provide proper

polarity in the counecfion of the power cord.

When disconnecting the power cord from the
adapter, always hold the adapter in place with one

hand while pulling the power cord plugwith the
other hand. If this is not done, the adapter ground

terminal is very likely to break with repeated use.

If the adapter ground terminal breaks, D0 NOTUSE

the refrigerator until a proper ground has been

established.

Initially, set the fresh food control at 5 and the freezer control at 5 and
allow 12hours for the temperature to stabilize.

Several adjustments may be required. Adjust the controls one
increment at a time, and allow 12hours after each adjustment for the
refrigerator to reach the temperature you set.

Setting the freezer control to 0 stops cooling in both the fresh food

and freezer compartments but does not shut off electrical power to
the refrigerator,

Control settings will vary based on personal preferences, usage, and
operating conditions and may require more than one adjustment.

About theautomaticicemaker.

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

Automatic leemaker (onsomemodels)

The icemaker 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.
If the refrigerator is operated before the

water connection is made to the icemaker,
set the power switch in the 0 (off)position.

When the refrigerator has been connected

to the water supply, set the power switch to
the I (onJposition.

The icemaker will fill with water when it
cools to 15°E A newly-imtalled _a'igerator

may take 12 to 24 hours to begin making
ice cubes.

Throw awaythe firstfewbatches ofice to
allowthe water line to dear.

Be sure nothing interferes with the sweep of
the feeler arm.

Itis normal for several cubes to be joined
together.

If the door prevents you from taking out
the crispers, the refrigerator will need to
be rolled forward until the door opens
enough to slide the crispers out. In some
cases, when you roll the retiigerator out,
you will need to move the refrigerator to

the left as you roll it out.

If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes
will become doudy, taste stale and shlinL

If ice cubes get stuck in the icemaker,the
green power light will blink. To correct this,
set the power switch to 0 (off] and remove
the cubes. Set the power switch to I (on)to

restart the icemaker. After the icemaker has
been ttmled on again, there will be a delay

of about 45 minutes before the icemaker
resumes operation.

Important Facts About Your Dispenser

• Do not add ice fia3m 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 canse the door in the chute to
fi'eeze shut. If ice is blocking the chute,

poke it through with awooden 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 tojam.

• To keep dispensed ice from missing
the glass, put the glass dose to, but not

touching, the dispenseropening.

• Some crushed ice may be dispensed even

though you selected CUBEDICEThis

happens occasionally when a fewcubes
have been left in the crusher.

• After crushed ice is dispensed, some
water may drip flora the chute.

• Sometimes a small mound of snowwill
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.

WATER SUPPLY TO THE ICEMAKER

(on some models)

If the refrigerator has an icemaker, it will have to be
connected to a cold water line. AGE water supply kit

(containing tubing, shutoffvalve, fittings and

instrncdons) is available at extra cost from your dealer,
by visiting our Website at www.GEAppliances.eom

(in Canada, at www.geappliances.ca) or from Parts

and Accessories, 800-626-2002.

To adjust the rollml, remove the base grille by pulling it

Installation Instructions

INSTALLING THE WATER LINE

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

WX08X10025).
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 0 (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 u 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 10u [25 cm]
diameter) to allow the refrigerator to move out from

the wall after installation.
GE SmartConnect TM Refrigerator Tubing Kits are

available in the following lengths:

2"(.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.

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.

16

Installation Instructions

WHAT YOU WILL NEED (CONT.)

Install the shutoffvalve on the nearest frequently used

drinking water line.

• 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.

• A cold water supply. The water pressure must be
between 20 and 120 p.s.i. (1.4-8.2 bar) on models

without a water filter and between 40 and 120 p.s.i.

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

• Power drill.

• 1/2 _ or adjustable wrench.

• Straight and Phillips blade screwdriver.

• Two 1/4 = outer diameter compression nuts and
2 ferrules (sleeves) to connect the copper tubing
to the shutoffvalve 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 TM
Refrigerator tubing.

[] 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.

[] 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.

• Shutoff valve to connect to the cold water line.
The shutoffvalve 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.

Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve

complies with your local plumbing codes.

[] CONNECT THE TUBING TO THE

VALVE

Place the compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for
copper tubing onto the end of the tubing and

connect it to the shutoffvalve.

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 shutoffvalve and tighten
compression nut until it is hand tight, then tighten
one additional turn with a wrench. Overtightening

may cause leaks.

Tubing

ROUTE THE TUBING

Route the tubing between the cold water line and
the refrigerator.

Route the tubing through a hole drilled in the wall
or floor (behind the refrigerator or adjacent base
cabinet) as close to the wall as possible.

NOTE: 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.

[] FLUSH OUT THE TUBING

Turn the main water supply on and flush out the
tubing until the water is clear.

Shut the water off at the water valve after about
one quart (1 liter) of water has been flushed

through the tubing.

18

Installation Instructions

[] CONNECT THE TUBING TO THE

REFRIGERATOR

NOTES:

• Before making the connection to the refrigerator,

be sure the refrigerator power cord is not plugged
into the wall outleL

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

recommend installing one ff 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 a GE
SmartConnect TM Refrigerator Tubing kit, you

will need an additional tube (WX08Xl0002)

to connect the filter. Do not cut plastic tube
to install filter.

Some models have the refrigerator connection at
the end of tubing located outside the compressor

compartment access cover. On other models, the
compressor compartment access cover must be
removed in order to access the refrigerator

connection at the water valve.

[] CONNECT THE TUBING TO THE

REFRIGERATOR (CONT.)

Insert the end of the tubing into the refrigerator
connection as far as possible. While holding the

tubing, tighten the fitting.

For plastic tubing from a GE SmartConnect

Refrigerator Tubing kit, insert the molded end of
the tubing into the refrigerator connection and
tighten the compression nut until it is hand tight,

then tighten one additional turn with a wrench.
Over tightening may cause leaks.

Fasten the tubing into the clamp provided as
shown to keep it in position. You may need to pry
open the clamp.

START THE ICEMAKER

Set the icemaker power switch to the I (on)position.
The icemaker will not begin to operate until it

reaches its operating temperature of 15°F (-9°C)
or below. It will then begin operation automatically

if the icemaker power switch is in the I (on) position.

NOTE: In lower water pressure conditions, the
water valve may turn on up to 3 times to deliver
enough water to the icemaker.
