When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:
i)::This refi'igerator must be properly installed
and located in accordance with tile Installation Instructions before it is used.
i)::Do not allow children to climb, st;rod or hang
on the shelves in the reli-igerato_: They could damage the reti-igerator and seriously injure
themselves.
::_ Do not touch tile cold SUltilces in tile fl'eezer
compartment when hands are damp or wet. Skin may stick to these extremely cold sudhces,
}/<Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable
\_q)ors and liquids in tile vicinity of this or any other appliance.
i)_:In refl'igerato_ with automatic icemake_,
avoid contact with the moving parts of the ejector mechanism, or with tile heating element
located on tile bottom of tile icemake_: Do not place finge_ or hands on tile automatic
icemaking mechanism while tile refl]gerator is i)lugged in.
i)_:Kee I)finget_ out of tile "pinch point" areas;

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 mates with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet
to minimize the possibili V of electric shock hazard fi'om this appliance,
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualflied electridan to make sure the outlet is
propedy grounded.
If the outlet is a standard 2-prong outlet, it is _mr personal responsibili b, and obligation to have it
replaced with a properly grounded %prong wall outlet.
The refl_igerator, should ahvavs, be I)lugged,, into its own indixidual electrical outlet which has a xoltage rating that matches the rating plate.

AboutClimateKeeper2/H
How it Works
The new ClimateKeeper2 TM is the industrv's most achmlced refiJgeration system,
delivering optimmn mmperamre and
hmnidity pedimnance to keep t0od garden
fresh longer and reduce ti'eezer bm'n, while maintaining E sta>level efficiency.
The new ClimateKeeper2system teatm'es two evaporato_--one tot the refl_igerator
and one fin" the fi'eezet;
This provides two separate cooling systems fin" the entire trait, and separates the
ai_low between the fl'esh food and fl'eezer sections (lining nomml cooling operations.*
This ensures that the humidi V levels in the fresh t0od section are significantly higher
than in a conventional system,** allowing
fresh produce and other unsealed foods to
retain their moisture content and ti'eshness
longe_: Moisture sensitive t0ods such as fresh ti'uit, salads, rice, etc., can now be
stored on open shelves without excessive moistm'e loss. Due to the higher humidi_'
in the reliigeram_; you may on occasion
experience log or small amotmts of moisture in the reli_igerator compartment. This is nomml and may come and go as
(litti_rent ti)()(l loads and enviromnental
conditions change. Wipe (hT with a paper
towel if desired.
The separate ai_{low system minimizes the mixing of air between the two
compartments, which reduces odor transter to improve the taste of ice.
The ClimateKeeper2system also reduces
the number of defl'osting cydes in the
fl'eezer e_q)orat(n; thereby reducing fl'eezer burn.

Aboutthe automaticicemaker.
A newly instafled refrigerator may take 12to 24 hours to begin making ice.
Automatic Icemaker
On dispenser models,
to access ice or reach the power switch:
o Lift the bin, then pull it
forward until the bin stops.
Lower the bin to access ice or reach the power switch.
NOTE:In order to take full advantage of the tilt-out ice bin, only store items
on the shelf below the ice bfl7that are no taller than the Iowest point
on the bhT.
The icemaker will produce seven cubes per cycle---al)l)roximately ] 00-130 cubes in a 94-hour period, depending on fl'eezer
COilli)ai'tlllent teillpei'att]i'e_ i'OOill

set the power switch in the 0 (Off)position. When the reti-igerator has been com_ected
to the water SUl)pl}; set the power switch to the I (on) position.
The icemaker will fill with water when it cools to ] 5°F (-10°C), A newly installed

Special note about dispenser models:
iJi::Dispenser models have a tilt-out ice bin.
The bin can be tilted out as shown in the illustrations, and it will hold itself up
while you take ice ()tit or turn the icemaker power switch on and off'. Be
sure to put the bin back in place before
closing the doo_:
iJi::To restore your ice level from an empty

important Facts About Your Dispenser
_: Do not ;1(1(1ice fl'om tim's or bags to
the storage drawei: It may not crush or disi)ense well.
_: 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
freeze 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 drawei: Cans, bottles or food packages in tile
storage drawer may cause the icemaker
or auger to jam.
iJi::To kee I) dispensed ice fl'om missing
the glass, put the glass close to, but not touching, tile dispenser opening.
_: Some crushed ice may be dispensed
e\'en though you selected CUBED ICE. This hal)pens occasionally when a few
cubes acddentally get directed to the crusher.
?_:Atter crushed ice is dispensed, some
water may drip flxm_ tile chute.
i_i::SoIlletiI//es a small mound of snow will
titan on tile door in tile ice chum. This condition is nomml and usually occm_
when you have dispensed crushed ice
repeatedly. The snow will eventually e;'apoi'ate.

800.626.2002,or you can add wood panels to match your kitchen cabinets.
Panels less than 1/4" (6mm) thick
When installing wood panels less than l/4" (6 ram) thick, you need to create a filler panel, such as 1/8"
cardboard, that Mll fit between the ti_ce of the door and the wood panel. If you are installing the ix'e-cut decorator panels, ix'e-cut filler panels are included in the kit. The coml)ined thickness of the decorator
or wood panel and the filler panel should be 1/4" (6 ram),

• 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 100°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 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 TMRefrigerator
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

[] LEVEL THE REFRIGERATOR
The refrigerator can be leveled by
adjusting the rollers located near the

Rollers have three purposes:
• Rollers adjust so the door closes easily
when opened about halfway. (Raise the front about 5/8" [16 mm] from the floor.)
• Rollers adjust so the refrigerator is firmly positioned on the floor and does
not wobble.
• Rollers allow you to move the
refrigerator away from the wall for
cleaning.
