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 iqjm'e themselves.
Do not touch the cold sm_i_ces in the fl'eezer compartment when hands are damp or wet. Skin
may stick to these extremely cold sudaces.
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable \:q)o_s and liquids in the vicinity ot this or any other appliance.
In refl_igerato_ with automatic icemake_,
avoid contact with the m oving parts of the ejector mechanism, or with the heating element
located on the bottom oI the icemake_; Do not place finge_ or hands on the automatic
icemaking mechanism while the refl]gerator 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 refl_igerator before cleaning and
making repai_.

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 Canada), B-wire grotmding type appliance extension cord haxing a grotmding
type i)lug and outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord be 15 amperes (minimmn) and 12(1 xolts.

WARNING!
HOWTOCONNECTELECTRICITY
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. For
personal safety this appfiance must be properly grounded.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped
with a 3-prong (gromMing) plug which mates with a stnndard 3-prong (gromMing) wall outlet
to minimize the possibility 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 gromMed.
If the outlet is a standard 2-prong outlet, it is gmr personal responsibility and obligation to have it
replaced with a propedy grotmded %prong wall outlet.
The refl-igerator, should always, be I_lugged,, into its own indixidual electrical outlet which has a xoltage rating that matches the rating plate.
This provides the best pedimnance and also I_rexents oxerloading, house wiring circuits which
could cause a fire hazard fl'om oxerheated wires.
Never tmi_lug your, refl'igerator, bx, I)tilling, on the I)°wer cord. Mwavs,, II,gli _ )lug 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 sho_:s cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either end.
When moving the refl'igerator away from the wall, be carefld not to roll over or damage the power cord.
USEOFADAPTERPLUGS(Ad_pterplug_notpermittedinco_odo)
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against the use of an adapter plug.
However; if'you, must use an adapter; where local codes pemfit, a temporary connection may be made
to a proi)erly grotmded 2-prong wall outlet by use of a UI Aisted adapter a\:lilable at most local
1/[I I'(1W[lI'e stores.
The linger slot in the adapter must be aligned with the larger slot in the wall outlet to provide proper
polarity in the com_ection of the power cord.
When disconnecting the power cord ti'om the
adapte_; alwa_:s hold the adal)ter in place with one hand while pulling the power cord i)lug with the other hand. If this is not done, the adapter gromM
temfinal is very likely to break with repeated use.
If the adapter grotmd temfinal breaLs, DO NOT
USEthe refrigerator tmtil a proper grotmd 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 ihsu/ated, and the waft outlet is grounded through the house wiring. Youshould
have the circuit checked by a qualified electric&n to make sure the outlet is properly grounded

Aboutthe temperaturecontrols. GEAppliances.com
The temperature controls are preset in the factory at 37°1:for the
refrigerator compartment and O°Ffor the freezer compartment. Allow
24 hours for the temperature to stabilize to the preset recommended
settings.
The temperature controls can display both the SET temperature
as well as the actual temperature in the refrigerator and freezer.
The actual temperature may vary slightly from the SET temperature
based on usage and operating environment. Setting either or both controls to OFFstops cooling in both the freezer
and refrigerator compartments, but does not shut off electrical power to the refrigerator.

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

Aboutthe automaticicemaker.
A newly installed 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 bin that are no taller than the Iowest point
on the bhT.
The icemaker will produce seven cubes per cycle---aI)I)roMmately ] 00-130 cubes in a 94-hour period, depending on fl'eezer

Important Facts About Your Dispenser
Do not add ice fl'om trays or 1)ags to the storage drawe_: It may not crush or
dispense well.
Avoid ove_tilling glass with ice and use ot
narrow glasses. Backed-u I) ice can jam the chute or cause the door in the chute to
fl'eeze shut. If ice is blocking the chute, poke it through with a wooden spoon.
Beverages and too(ls should not be quick-chilled in the ice storage drawe_:
Cans, bottles or food packages in the
storage drawer may cause the icelnaker
or auger to jam.
To kee I) dispensed ice fl'om missing
the glass, put the glass close to, but not touching, the dispenser opening.
Some crushed ice may be dispensed even though you selected CUBED ICE.
This hal)pens occasionally when a few cubes acddentally get directed to
the crusher.
J_dter crushed ice is dispensed, some
water may drip flxnn the chute. Sometimes a small naotmd of snow will
form on the door in the ice chute. This condition is nomml and usually occui_
when w)u have dispensed crushed ice
repeatedly. The snow will e\'enmallv e\'aporate.

Installation Instructions
[] 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
open the clamp.
