SAFETYPRECAUTIONS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:

This refi-igerator must be properly installed
and located in accordance with the Installation

Instructions before it is used.

Do not allow children to climb, st;rod or hang
on the shelves in the reti-igerato_: They could

damage the refrigerator and seriously iqjure
themselves.

Do not touch the cold stu_i_ces in the fl'eezer
compartment when hands are damp or wet.

Skin may stick to these extremely cold stu_hces,

Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable
\_q)o_ and liquids in the vicinity of this or any
other appliance.

In refl'igerato_ with automatic icemake_,

avoid contact with the moving parts of the
ejector mechanism, or with the heating

element located on the bottom of the icemake_:
Do not place finge_s or hands on the automatic

icemaking mechanism while the refrigerator
is plugged in.

Keep finget_ out ot the "pinch point" areas;
clearances between the doo_ and between

the doo_ and cabinet are necessarily small.
Be caretul closing doo_ when children are

in the area.

Unplug the refrigerator betore cleaning and

making repairs.

NOTE."We stronglyrecommendthatanyservicing be
performedby a qualified individual

Setting either or both controls to 0 (Off)does not

USEOFEXTENSIONCORDS

Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against the use
of an extension cord.

However; ifxou must use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a Ui,-listed (in the United
States) or a (;SA-listed (in (:anada), B-wire grotmding type al)pliance extension cord haxing a grotmding

type i)lug and outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord be 15 amperes (minimmn) and 120 xolts.

WARNING!

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 this appliance is equipped with
a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with

a standard 3-prong (gromMing) wall outlet to
minimize the possibili F of electric shock haa_rd

fl'om this appliance.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by

a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet
is properly grounded.

If the outlet is a standard 9-prong outlet, it is

yam _personal responsibili_' and obligation to

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

The refligerator should alwa D be plugged into
its own individual electrical outlet which has

a w)lmge rating that matches the rating plate.

This provides the best pe_l'ommnce and also
I)rexents oxerloading, house wiring circuits which

could cause a fire hazard from oxerheated wires.
Never m_plug yam _refl_igerator by pulling on

the power cord. Mwa}:s grip phtg 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.

\._]/en moving tile refligerator away from tile
wall, be carefld not to roll over or damage tile
power cord.

USEOFADAPTERPLUGS(AdapterplugsnotpermittedinCa_adaJ

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

However; if' you, must use an adapte_; where local
codes pemfit, a temporary connection may be made

to a properly grotmded 2-prong wall outlet by use
of a UI Aisted adapter a\:filable at m ost local

ha i'dwai'e stoFes.

Tile linger slot in tile adapter must be aligned with
the larger slot in the wall outlet to provide proper

polarity in tile com_ecfion of tile power cord.

When (lisc(mnecting tile power cord fl'om tile

a(lapte_; always hold tile adal)ter in place with one
hand while pulling tile power cord i)lug with tile
other hand. If this is not done, tile adapter gromM

temfinal is very likely to break with repeated use.

If the adapter grotmd temfinal breaLs, DO NOT

USEthe refrigerator until a proper ground has

been established.

Attaching the adapter ground terminal to a wall outlet
cover screw does not ground the appliance unless the

cover screw is metal, and not insulated, and the waft
outlet is grounded through the house wiring. Youshould

have the circuit checkedby a qualified electrician to
make sure the outlet is properly groundec{

Aboutthe temperaturecontrols, www.GEAppliances.com

The temperature controls are preset in the factory at 5 for both
the refrigerator and freezer compartments. Allow 24hours for the
temperature to stabilize to the preset recommended settings.

Several adjustments may be required. Each time you adjust
controls, allow24 hours for the refrigerator to reach the setting
you have selected.

Setting either or both controls to 0 stops cooling in both the freezer
and refrigerator compartments, but does not shut off electrical power
to the refrigerator.

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

NOTE: Therefrigerator is shipped with protective film covering the

temperature controls. If this film was not removed during installation,
remove it now.

AboutClimateKeeper2Y

longer and reduce ti'eezer burn, while
maintaining E sta_qevel efficiency.

The new ClimateKeeper2system featm'es
two evaporator,--one fi)r the refl_igerator

and one fin" the fl'eezet;

This pro\ides two separate cooling systems
fin" the entire refit, and separates the

ai_low between the ti'esh food and ti'eezer
sections (hwing nomml cooling operations.*

This ensm'es that the humidly' levels in the
fl'esh loud section a_e significantly higher

than in a conventional system,** allowing

fresh produce and other tmsealed foods to

retain their moisture content and ti'eshness

longe_: Moisture sensitive toods such as
fresh fi'uit, salads, _ice, etc., can now be

st(wed on (>pen shelves without excessive
lit oisture loss.

The separate ai_low system minimizes
the miMng of air between the two

compartments, which reduces odor
transte_; resulting in improved taste of ice.

The ClimateKeeper2system also reduces
the number of defl'(>sting cycles in the

fl'eezer ex_q)orat(n; thereby improving the
temperature maintained in the ti'eezer and

re(lucing freezer bm'n.

Important Facts About Your Dispenser

Do not add ice Ii'om trays or bags to
tile storage drawer. It may not crush or

dispense well.

Avoid overfilling glass with ice and use

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

to freeze shut. If ice is blocking the
chute, poke it through with a wooden

spo()n.

Beverages and toods shoukl not be
quick-chilled in the ice storage drawer.

Cans, bottles or Iood packages in tile

storage drawer may cause tile icemaker

or a/iger to jalll,

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 CUBEDICE.This

happens occasionally when a few cubes
accidentally get directed to the crushe_:

_Mter crushed ice is dispensed, some

water may drip fl'om tile chute.
Solnefilnes a small Inound of snow will

tbm/on tile door in tile ice chute. This

Tohelp prevent odors, leave an open box of

baking soda in the fl'esh ti)o(l and fl'eezer

COlI/pa i'tlilents.

Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning. If this

is not practical, wring excess moisture out

of sponge or cloth when cleaning arotmd

switches, lights or controls.

Use wama water and baking soda solution-

about a tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda

to a quart (l liter) of water: This both cleans

and neutralizes o(lm_. Rinse and wipe dry:

Useof any cleaning solution other than that
which is recommended, especially those that

contain petroleum distillates, can crack or
damage the interior of the refrigerator.

Avoid cleaning cold glass shelves with hot water
because the extreme temperature difference

may cause them to break. Handle glass shelves

[] 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 (WX08X10002) 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

Installation Instructions

INSTALLING THE WATER LINE (ICEMAKER &DISPENSERMODELS)

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

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

J

• 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) - 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.
