SAFETYPRECAUTIONS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:
}}_This refligerator must be properly installed
and located in accordance with the Installation
Instructions before it is used.
Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang
on the shelves in the reflJgerator They could
dmnage the reflJgemtor and seriously i_jure
themselves.
}}_Do not touch the cold surfitces in the fleezer
compartment when hands are damp or wet.
Skin may stick to these extremely cold surf_tces.
}}_Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable
xapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any
other appliance.
',_ In refligerators widl automatic icemake_,
avoid contact with the moving parts of the
eiector mechanism, or with the heating element
located on the bottom of the icemaker Do not
place finge_ or hands on the automatic
icemaldng mechanism while the refligemtor
is plugged in.
,,_Keep fingers out of file "pinch point" areas;
clearances between the doors and bet_,veen the
doors and cabinet are necessarily stuN1. Be carefhl
closing doors when chiMren are in the area.
}}_Unplug the refligerator before cleaning and
making repai_.
NOTE:Westronglyrecommendthatanyservicingbe

PROPERDISPOSALOFTHEREFRIGERATOR
Child entrapment and suftbcafion are not
problems of the past. Junked or abandoned
refligerators are still dangerous...even if they will
sit fbr 'just a few days." If you are getting rid of
your old refligeratox; please follow the instructions
below to help prevent accidents°
Before You7",hrowAway YourOld
Refrigeratoror Freezer:
} Take off the doors°
}i_i,eave the shelves in place so that children
may not easily climb inside.
Refrigerants
All refrigeration products contain refiigerams,
which under federal law must be removed prior
to product disposal If you are getting rid of an
old refiigeradon product, check with the company
handling the disposal about what to do.
USEOFEXTENSIONCORDS
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we 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-listed (in Canada), 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding
type plug and outlet and that the elecuJcal rating of the cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 120 volts.

HOWTOCONNECTELECTRICITY
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 dlis appliance is equipped widl
a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates wit1 a
standard 3-prong (grotmding) wall outlet to
minimize the possibility of elecuic shock hazard
fiom this appliance°
Have the wall oudet and drcuit checked by a
qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is
properly grounded.
Where a standard 2-prong wall oudet is
encotmmred, it is your pet_onN responsibility and
obligadon to have it replaced with a properly
grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
The refligerator should ah,vays be plugged into its
own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage
rating that matches the rating plate.
This proxides the best performance and also
prevents overloading house wiring circuits which
could cause a fire hazard fiom overheated wires.
Never unplug your refligerator by pulling on the
power cord° Ah,vays g_ip plug firefly and pull
straight out fiom the otlflet.
Repair or replace immediately all power cords flint
have become fiwed or otherwise damaged. Do not
use a cord that shows crocks or abrasion damage
along its length or at either end.
When moving the refligerator away flom the
wall, be careflfl not to roll over or damage the
power cord.

Initially, set the control(s) at 4. Allow 24 hours for the temperature to stabilize.
Several adjustments may be required. Adjust the control(s) one increment at a time and
allow 12hours after each adjustment for the refrigerator to reach the temperature you
have set.
Setting the refrigerator control to I stops cooling in both the freezer and refrigerator
compartments but does not shut off electrical power to the refrigerator. The freezer
control (on some models) has no effect on electrical power to the refrigerator.
Control settings will vary based on personal preferences, usage and operating conditions,
and may require more than one adjustment. Factors that affect temperature include the
amount of food in the refrigerator or freezer, the frequency of door opening and the
temperature of food when it is placed in the refrigerator.

Installation instructions
iNSTALLiNG THE WATER LiNE (ONSOMEMODELS)
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Recommended copper water supply kits are WX8X2,
WX8X3 or WX8X4, depending on the amount of
ulbing you need. Approved plastic water supply lines
are GE SmartConnect F''Refiigerator Tubing
(WX08X10002, WX08X10006, WX08X10015 and
WX08X10025).
When connecting your refligerator to a GE Reverse
Oslnosis Water System, the only approved installation
is with a GE RVKIt. For other reverse osmosis water
systems, follow the manufhcmrer's recommendations.
This water line installation is not warranted by the
refiigerator or icemaker manufacturer. Follow these
instructions careflflly to minimize the risk of expensive
water damage.
Water hammer (water banging in the pipes) in house
plumbing can cause damage to refiigerator parts and
lead to water leakage or flooding. Call a qualified
plumber to correct water hammer before installing the
water supply line to the refiigerator.
To prevent burns and product damage, do not hook
up the water line to the hot water line.
If you use your refligerator before connecting the
water line, make sme the icemaker power switch is in
the 0 (off} position (on power switch models) or the
feeler arm is in the STOP (up) position (on feeler arIll
models).
Do not install the icemaker robing in areas where
temperatures f_dl below fieezing.
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.

WHAT YOU WiLL NEED
J
" Copper or GE SmartConnect TM Refrigerator Tubing
kit, 1/4" outer diameter to connect the refligerator
to the water supply. If using coppm; be stue both ends
of the robing are CUt square.
To determine how much tubing you need: Measure
the distance fiom the water valve on the back of the
refiigerator to the water supply pipe. Then add 8"
(2.4 m). Be sure there is sufficient extra robing to
allow the refiigerator to move out flom the wall
after installation.
GE SmartConnect _"Refligerator Tubing Kits are
available in the following lengths:
2' (.6 m) - %_X08X10002
6" (1.8 m) - %PX08X10006
15' (4.6 m) - %PX08X10015
25' (7.6 m) - %_X08X10025
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.

" A GE water supply Mt (containing tubing, shutoff
valve and fittings listed below) is available at extra
cost flom your dealer or flom Parts and Accessories,
800.626.2002.
" A cold water supply. The water pressme must be
between 20 and 120 p.s.i. (1.4-8.1 bar).

SUPPLY
Tmn on the nearest faucet long enough to clear
the line of water
[2-]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 flom the water pipe.
" Two 1/4" outer diameter compression nuts and
2 ferrules (sleeves)--to connect the copper robing to
the shutoff valve and the refligerator water valve.
OR
" If you are using a GE SmartConnect '_'Refiigerator
Tubing kit, the necessary fittings are preassembled to
the tubing.
" If your exisdng 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 refligerator OR you can cut off the flared fitting
with a tube cutter and then use a compression fitdng.
Do not cut formed end flom GE SmartConnect _''
Refligerator robing.
[-3-]DRILLTHE 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 fiom drilling the hole in the pipe.
Take care not to allow water to drain into the drill.
Faihue 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 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 phunbing codes.

[] The new high efficiency compressor may run faster
and longer than yore old refligerator and you may
hear a high-pitched hum or pulsating sound while
it is operating.
[] You m W hear a whooshing sound when the doors close.
This is due to pressure equalizing within the refligerator
[] You may hear the rims spinning at high speeds.
This happens when the refrigerator is first plugged
in, when the doors are opened f}equently or when
a large amount of food is added to the ref_igerator
or freezer compamnents. The rims are helping to
maintain the correct temperatures.
CLICKS, POPS,
CRACKS and CHIRPS
[] You may hear cracking or popping sounds when the
refiigerator is first plugged in. This happens as the
refligerator cools to the correct temperature.
[] The compressor may cause a clicMng or chirping
sound when attempting to restart (this could rake
up to 5 minutes).
[] Expansion and contraction of cooling coils during
