WARNING!
HOWTOCONNECTELECTRICITY
Donot, under anv circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
For personal safe_ this appliance must beproperly grounded.
ge.com
The power cord of this appliance is equipped
with a 3-prong (gromMing) plug which mates
with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to
minimize the possibili_, of electric shock hazard
fi'om this appliance.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a
qualNed electridan to make sure the outlet is
properly gromMed.
Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is
encountered, it is your pex_onal responsibili_' and
obligation to have it replaced with a propedy
grounded 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 pe_imnance and also
I_rexents oxerloading, house wiring circuits which
cotfld cause a fire hazard from oxerheated wires.
Never mq)lug yore" refrigerator by pulling on the
power cord. Mways grip plug firefly and pull
straight out ti'oln the outlet.

About TurboCooEM(on some models) ge.oom
How it Works
TurboCoolrapidly cools the reii_igerator
c()mi)artn/ent in order to more quickly
cool fi)ods. Use TurboCoolwhen adding a
large amount oftood to the reflJgerator
compartment, putting away foods after they
have been sitting ()tit at rOOlll temperature
or when putting away wam_ leftovers. It can
also be used if the refl_igerator has been
without power for an extended period.
Once acfi\:_ted, the compressor will tm'n on
immediately and the rims will cycle on and
off at high speed as needed tot eight hom_.
The compressor will continue to run tmtil
the refl_igerator compartment cools m
approximately 34°F (l °C), then it will cycle
on and off to maintain this setting. _Mter 8
hom_, or if TurboCoolis pressed again, the
refl_igerator compartment will return to
the original setting.
How to Use

INSTALLING THE REFRIGERATOR
REFRIGERATOR LOCATION
• Do not install the refrigerator where the
temperature will go below 60°F (16°C) because it
will not run often enough to maintain proper
temperatures.
• Do not install the refrigerator where the
temperature will go above IO0°F (37°C) because it
will not perform properly.
• Install it on a floor strong enough to support it fully
loaded.

[] CONNECTING THE REFRIGERATOR
TO THE HOUSE WATER LINE
(icemaker and dispenser models)
A cold water supply is required for automatic
icemaker 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.
