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 inates with

a standard 3-prong (gromMing) wall outlet to minimize the possibili_' of electric shock hazard

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

qualNed electridan to make sure the outlet is propedy grotmded.

If the outlet is a standard 2-prong outlet, it is

yore" personal responsibili_' and obligation to

have it replaced with a properly grotmded 3-prong wall outlet.

The refl_igerator should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the rating plate.

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

could cause a fire hazard fl'om oxerheated wires.

Never tmplug yore" refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Mways 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 shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either end.

When moving the refl_igerator away from the wall, be careflfl not to roll over or damage the power cord.

Important Facts About Your Dispenser

_: Do not add ice fl'om trm_s or bags to

tile storage drawei: It may not crush or dispense well.

iJi::Avoid oveitilling glass with ice and use of

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

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

iJi::Beverages and foods should not be

quick-chilled in the ice storage drawer Cans, bottles or food packages in tile

storage drawer may cause tile icemaker

or a/iger to jaIll.

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

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

_: Some crushed ice may be dispensed even

though you selected CUBED ICE.This happens occasionally when a few cubes

accidentally get directed t() the crushei:

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 (WXO8XIO002) 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.

iNSTALLiNG THE WATER LiNE (ICEMAKER&DISPENSERIVIODELS)

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 (WX08Xl0002,

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) - WX08Xl0002 6' (1.8 m) -WX08Xl0006

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.

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.
