thawed completelu.

DANGER! RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT

PROPERDISPOSAL OF THE REFRIGERATOR

Childentrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still

dangerous_.evenif they will sit for 'just a few dags." If Uouare getting rid of uour old refrigerator, please

follow the instructions belowto help prevent accidents.

Refrigerants

All refrigeration products contain refrigerants, which under federal law must be removed prior

to product disposal. If gou are getting rid of an old refrigeration product, check with the compang

handling the disposal about what to do.

Before You ThrowAway Your Old Refrigerator or Freezer:

ij_:,Takeoff the doors. !i_:Leavethe shelves in place sothat children mag not

easiluclimb inside.

USEOF EXTENSION CORDS

Because of potentia! 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(inthe United States) or a CSAcertified (inCanada),3-wire grounding tgpe appliance extension cord having a grounding tgpe plug

and outlet andthat the electrical rating of the cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 120volts.

WARNING!

HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY

Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground)prong from the power card. For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.

ge.com

The power cord of this appliance is equipped with

a 3-prong (grounding)plugwhich mates with a standard 3-prong (grounding)wall outletto

minimize the possibility of electricshock hazard from this appliance.

Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make surethe outlet isproperly

grounded. Where astandard 2-prong wall outlet isencountered,

it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a propedy grounded 3-prong

wall outlet.

The refrigerator should always be plugged into its

own individual electrical outlet which hasa voltage rating that matches the rating plate.

Thisprovides the best performance and alsoprevents overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a

fire hazardfrom overheated wires. Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the

power cord.Always grip plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet.

Repairor replaceimmediately 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 rollover or damage the power cord.

READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

• Anchors required (not provided): 4 each 1/4" x 1 1/2" lag bolts

4 each 1/2" O.D. sleeve anchors

• Drill the recommended size holes for the anchors into the concrete at the center of

the holes marked in Step 2.

[] POSITIONING THE REFRIGERATOR

TO ENGAGE THE ANTI-TIP FLOOR AND BASE BRACKETS

[] Before pushing the refrigerator into the

opening, plug the power cord into the receptacle and connect waterline (if equipped).

Check for leaks.

[] Locate the refrigerator's RH side and move

back approximately in line with the RH side of the cabinet opening, W. This should position the anti-tip floor bracket to engage the anti-tip base bracket on the refrigerator.

[] Gently roll the refrigerator back into the

cabinet opening until it comes to a complete stop. Check to see if the refrigerator front lines up with the cabinet front face. If not, carefully rock the refrigerator forward and backward until engagement occurs and you notice that the refrigerator is fully pushed up against the

rear wall.

[] OPTIONAL: Adjust the rear (and front) wheel

height settings to fully engage the rear anti-tip brackets, while also aligning the refrigerator

front with the cabinet front face.

NOTE:

If you pull the refrigerator out and away from the wall for any reason, muke sure the unti-tip floor brucket is enguged when the refrigerutor is pushed buck uguinst the reur wull.

Installation Instructions

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 itwill not perform properlg.

• Installit on a floor strong enoughto support it fullg loaded.

passagewags ore less than 36", the refrigerator doors

and handles con easilg be scratched and damaged. The top cop and doors con be removed to allow the

refrigerator to be safelg moved indoors. Start with Step A.

• If it is not necessarg to remove doors, skip Step A. Leave tape and all packaging on doors until the

refrigerator is in the final location.

• SKIDREMOVAL:Tilt refrigerator to each side to remove skid.

• NOTE:Usea podded hand truck to move this refrigerator. Place the refrigerator on the hand truck

with a side against the truck. We stronglg recommend that TWO PEOPLEmove and complete this installation.

Installation Instructions

[] CONNECTING THE REFRIGERATOR

TO THE HOUSE WATER LINE (cont.)

[] If you ore 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" 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 ore using GE SmortConnect 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.

One of the illustrations below will look like the connection on your refrigerator.

[] TURN ON THE WATER SUPPLY

installation Instructions

INSTALLING THE WATER LINE (ICEMAKER MODELS)

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Recommended copper water supplg kits are WX8X2,

WX8X3 or WX8X4, depending on the amount of tubing

gou need. Approved plastic water supplg lines are GE SmartConnect T"Refrigerator Tubing (WXO8XIO006,

WX08X10015 and WX08X10025). When connecting your refrigerator to a GE Reverse

Osmosis Water System, the only approved installation iswith 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.

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 supplg line to

the refrigerator. To prevent burns and product damage, do not hook

up the water line to the hot water line. If gou 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 supplg. If using copper, be sure both ends of the tubing are cut square.

To determine how much tubing gou need: measure the distance from the water valve on the back of

the refrigerator to the water supplg pipe. Be sure there is sufficient extra tubing to allow the refrigerator to move out from the wall after

installation. GE SmartConnect T'Refrigerator Tubing Kits are

available in the following lengths: 6' (1.8 m) - WXO8XIO006

15'(4.6 m) - WXO8X10015

25' (7.6 m) - WXO8X10025
