SAFETYPRECAUTIONS

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

This refligerator must be properly installed

and located in accordance with the Installation

Instructions before it is used.

Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang

on the shelves in the reflJgerator They could

dmnage the reflJgemtor and seriously i_jure

themselves.

Do not touch the cold surfitces in the fleezer

compartment when hands are damp or wet.

Skin may stick to these extremely cold surf_tces.

Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable

xapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any

other appliance.

In refligerators wit1 automatic icemakers,

avoid contact with the moving parts of the

eiector mechanism, or with the heating element

located on the bottom of the icemaker Do not

place finge_ or hands on the automatic

icemaMng mechanism while the refligerator

is plugged in.

Keep fingers out of the "pinch point" areas;

clearances bet_,veen the doors and bet_,veen

the doo_ and cabinet are necessarily small.

Be careflfl closing doors when chiMren are

in tlle area.

Unplug file refligemtor before cleaning and

company handling the disposal about what

to do.

USEOFEXTENSIONCORDS

Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against the use

of an extension cord.

Howeve,, ifyou must use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessa_y that itbe a UL-listed (in the United

States) o, a CSA-listed (in Canada), 3-wire grounding type appliance extension co,d having a gmtmding

type plug and oudet and that the electrical rating of the cord be 15 ampe_es (minimum) and 120 volts.

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 dlis appliance is equipped

widl a f_prong (gnounding) plug which mates

with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet

to minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard

flom this appliance.

Have the wall ot_det and chcuit checked by a

qualified electrician to make sme the outlet is

properly grounded.

If file oudet is a standard 2-prong outlet, it is yore

personal responsibility and obligation to have it

replaced with a properly grounded _prong wall

outlet.

The refligerator shotdd always be plugged into its

own hldivkhml electrical outlet which has a voltage

rating that matches the rating plate.

This proxides the best perfL_rmance and also

prevents overloading house wiring chcuits which

coukt cause a fire hazard flom overheated wires.

Never unplug your refligerator by pulling on the

power cord. Ah,vays grip plug fimlly and pull straight

out flom the outlet.

Repair or replace immediately all power cords flint

have become flwed or otherwise damaged. Do not

use a cord that shows crocks or abrasion damage

along its length or at either end.

When moving the refligerator away flom the

wNl, be carefkfl not to roll over or damage the

power cord.

About the temperature controls.

ge.com

The temperature controls are preset in the factory at 37°F 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 weft 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.

NOTE: The refrigerator is shipped with protective film covering the

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

remove it now.

To change the temperature, press and release the

WARMER or COLDERpad. The SEYlight will come

on and tlle display will show the set temperature.

To change the mmpemmre, tap either the WARMER

or COLDERpad until the desired mmpemmre is

displayed. Refiigetator mmpemmres can be

adjusmd between 34°F and 44°F and the fleezer

mmpemmres can be adj usmd bet_,veen

-6°F and +6°E

Once the desired temperature has been set,

the mmpemane display will reu_rn to the acala[

refligemtor and fleezer mmperamres after

5 seconds. Several adjustments may be required.

Each filile yell adjust controls, allow 24 bouI_ f}.)I the

The Performance Ai>Flow Sysmm is designed to

maximize temperature control in the reflJgerator

and fleezer comparmlents. This unique special

feature consists of the Ah Tower along the back

wall of the refligerator and the Air Tmmel on the

bottom portion of the fleezer rear wail. Placing food

in flont of the louvers on these components will not

afiect perfbmmnce. 'Although die Air Tower and

the Air Tmmel can be removed, doing so will affe.ct

cool foods. Use YurboCoolwhen adding a

large amotmt of K_od to d_e reflJgerator

compartment, putting away foods after they

have been sitting out at room mmperamre

or when putting away warm lefk_ve_. It can

also be used if the refligerator has been

without power for an exmnded period.

Once activamd, d_e compressor will mrn on

immediately and the rims will wcle on and

off at high speed as needed for eight horns.

The compressor will confintle {0 Itln until

the refligerator compartment cools to

approximately 34°F (1°C), then itwill cycle

AboutClimateKeeper2/

How it Works

The new C//mategeeper2TM is the indusuy's

most advanced refligeration system,

delivering optimum temperature and

humidity performance to keep food garden

flesh longer and reduce fleezer burn, while

maintaining E sm_qevel ef_icienc>

The new CfimateKeeper2system features

two evaporators---<me for the refligerator

and one for the fleezer

This provides b,,voseparate cooling systems

for the entire unit, and separams the

airflow beta,veen the flesh food and fleezer

sections during normal cooling operafions.*

This ensures that d_e humidity levels in d_e

flesh food section are significandy higher

than in a conventional system,** allowing

flesh produce and other unsealed foods to

retain their moistme content and fleshness

longer Moisture sensitive foods such as

flesh f]afit, salads, rice, etc., can now be

stored on open shelves without excessive

moisture loss. Due to the higher humidity

in tl_e reflJgerato,; you may on occasion

experience fog or stuN1 amounts of

moisture in the reflJgerator compamnent.

This is normal and m W come and go as

different food loads and enviromnenm/

conditions change. Wipe &T with a paper

towel if desired.

The sepamm airflow system minimizes

tl_e mixing of air bet_,veen tl_e t_,vo

comparm_ents, which reduces odor

tmnsfe.r to improve tl_e tlkste of ice.

The C/imategeeper2 system also reduces

the nmnber of deflosdng cycles in tl_e

fleezer e_aporat(n; thereby reducing

fleezer burn.

When file bin fills to file level of file feeler

arm, file icemaker will stop producing

ice. It is normal for several cubes to be

joined together

If ice is not used fiequently, old ice cubes

will become cloudy, tasm stale and shrink.

Special note about dispenser models:

Dispenser models have a tilt-out ice bin.

The bin can be dlmd out as shown in the

illustrations, and it will hold itself up

/mportant Facts About YourDispenser

Do not add ice from trays or bags to

the storage drawer It may not crush or

dispense well.

Avoid overfilling glass widl ice and use

of narrow glasses. Backed-up ice can jam

the chute or cause the door in the chute

to fleeze shut. If ice is blocking the chum,

poke it through with a wooden spoon.

Beverages and foods should not be

quick-chilled in the ice storage drawer

Cans, bottles or food packages in the

storage drawer mW cause the icemaker

or auger tojam.

To keep dispensed ice flom missing

the glass, put the glass close to, but not

touching, the dispenser opening.

Some crushed ice may be dispensed

even dlough you selected CUBEDICE.

This happens occasionally when a fe.w

cubes accidentally get direcmd to

the crusher

After crushed ice is dispensed, some

water may drip fiom the chute.

Sometimes a small mound of snow will

form on tile door in the ice chum. This

condition is nox_na/and usually occurs

when you have dispensed crushed ice

repeatedly: The snow will eventually

evaporate.

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 (WX08X10002) to connect the filter.

Do not cut plastic tube to install filter.

r_ 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 SrnartConnect TM

tubing, the nuts are already assembled to

the tubing.

F_ 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 SrnartConnect 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
