::_ Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang

on the shelves in the reli_igeratm: They could

damage the reli_igerator and seriously iqjure

themselves.

i_J_Do not touch tile cold sm'fi_ces in tile fl'eezer

compartment when hands are damp or wet.

Skin max stick t() these extremely cold sm'ti_ces.

i)::Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable

avoid contact with tile moving parts of tile

ejector mechanism, or with the heating

element located oil the bottom at the icemaker

Do not place finge_ or hands on the aUtOlnatic

USEOFEXTENSIONCORDS

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

use of an extension cord.

HoweveI; if you IllllSt rise an extension cord, it is absohltely necessai'y that it be a UiAisted (ill tile United

Stares) or a CSA-listed (in Canada), 3-wire grotmding b'pe appliance extension cord having a grotmding

D'pe i)lug and outlet and that tile electrical rating _ff tile cord be 15 amperes (minimmn) and 120 volts.

WARNING!

HOWTOCONNECTELECTRICITY

Donot, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. For

personal safezg,this appfiance must be properly grounded.

The power cord of this appliance is equipped

with a &prong (grounding) plug which mates

with a standard 3-prong (gromMing) wall outlet

to minimize the possibili_, of electric shock hazard

fl'om this appliance.

Have the wall out.let and circuit checked bv

a qualified electrician to make sm'e the out.let

is properly grotmded.

If the outlet is a standard 2-pr(mg outlet,

it is yore" personal responsibiliQ and obligation

to have it replaced with a properly gr(mnded

S-prong wall outlet.

The refl-igerator should alwa D be plugged into

its own individual electrical outlet which has

a w)ltage rating that matches the rating plate.

This provides the best pe_l'bmmnce and also

I)rexents oxerloading, house wiring, circuits which

could cause a fire hazard fl'om oxerheated wires.

Never m_plug yore" refl-igerator by pulling on the

power cord. Mways grip plug firefly and pull

straight out fl'om the outlet.

Repair or replace immediately all power cords

that have become fl'aved or otherwise damaged.

Do not rise a cord that sho_:s cracks or abI'asion

damage along its length or at either end.

When moving the refligerator away fl'om the

wall, be careflfl not to roll over or damage the

power cord,

Installation instructions

iNSTALLiNG THE WATER LiNE (ONSOMEMODELS)

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Recommended copper water supply kits are WXSX2,

WXSX3 or WXSX4, depending on the amount of

tubing you need. Approved plastic water supply lines

are GE SmartConnect'" Refl'igerator Tubing

(WX08X10002, WX08X10006, WX08X10015 and

WX08X10025).

When connecting your reh'igerator to a GE Reverse

Osmosis l,Llter S}_stem, the only approved installation

is with a GE RV/<it. For other reverse osmosis water

systems, fl)llow the mantffhcturer's recommendations.

This water line installation is not warranted by the

refrigerator or icemaker manufimmrer. Follow these

instructions carehdly to minimize the risk of expensive

water damage.

_Aater hammer (water banging in the pipes) in house

plmnbing can cause damage to refl'igerator parts and

lead to water leakage or flooding. Call a qualified

plmnber to correct water hammer beflwe installing

the water supl_ly line to the refl'igerator.

To prevent burns and product damage, do not hook

up the water line to the hot water line.

If you use vom" refl'igerator before comlecting the

water line, make sm'e the icemaker power switch is

in the 0 (of[} position.

Do not install the icemaker robing in areas where

temperatures thll below fl'eezing.

When using any electrical device (such as a power

drill) during installation, be sm'e the device is double

insulated or gr(mnded in a maxmer to prevent the

hazard of electric shock, or is batte_ T powered.

All installations must be in accordance with local

phm_bing code requirements.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED

/

• Copper or GE SmartConnect '' Refrigerator Tubing

kit, l/4" outer diameter to connect the refi'igerator

to the water supply. If using copper, be sm'e both ends

of the tubing are cut square.

To determine how much robing you need: measure

the distance from the water wdve on the back of the

refrigerator to the water supply pipe. Then add

8' (2.4 m). Be sure there is sulticient extra robing

(about 8' [2.4 m] coiled into 3 turns of about

10" [25 cm] diameter) to allow the reh'igerator to

nlove out ti'oin the wall aDer installation.

GE Smart(hmnect'" Refl'igerator Tubing lZdts are

available in the following lengths:

2' (0.6 m) - _TX08X10002

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.

NOTE: The only GE approved plastic tubing is that

supplied in GE SmartComaect '_' Refrigerator Tubing

kits. Do not use any other plastic water supply line

because the line is under pressure at all times. Certain

types of plastic will crack or rupture with age mad cause

water dmnage to your home.

14

Installation instructions

WHAT YOU WILL NEED (CONT.)

• A GE water supply kit (containing tubing, shutoff

valve and fittings listed below) is available at extra

cost frmn your dealer or fl'om Parts and Accessories,

800.626.2002.

• A cold water supply. The water pressure must be

between 20 and 120 p.s.i. (1.4-8.1 bar).

• Power drill.

• 1/2" or adjustable wrench.

• Straight and Phillips blade screwdriver.

• Two 1/4" outer diaaneter compression nuts and

2 ferrules (sleeves)--to connect the copper tubing

to the shutoff valve and the refrigerator water valve.

OR

• If you are usino a GE Smat t(;onnect' Refrigerator

Tubino_ kit, the necessary, fittinos_, are preassembled

to the tubing

• If yotu" existing COl)per water line has a flared fitting

at the end, you will need an adapter (awfilable at

plmnbing supply stores) to connect the water line to

the refl'igerator OR you can cut off the flared fitting

with a tube cutter and then use a compression fitting.

Do not cut tom_ed end fl'om GE SmartConnect '_

Refl'igerator tubing.

• Shutoff valve to connect to the cold water line.

The shutoff wflve should have a water inlet with a

minimmn inside diameter of 5/32" at the point of

connection to the COLD WATER LINE. Saddle-type

shutoff valves are included in manv water supply kits.

getOre i)urchasing, inake sure a saddle-type valve

complies with yore" local l)hunbing codes.

Install the shutoff valve on the nearest frequently used

drinking water line.

[] SHUT OFF THE MAiN WATER

SUPPLY

Ttu'n on the nearest taucet long enough to clear

the line of water.

[] CHOOSE THE VALVE LOCATION

Choose a location fl_r the valve that is easily

accessible. It is best to connect into the side of a

vertical water pipe. When it is necessary to connect

into a horizontal water pipe, make the connection

to the top or side, rather than at the bottom,

to avoid drawing off anv sediment fl'om the

water pipe.

[] DRILL THE HOLE FOR THE VALVE

Drill a 1/4" hole in the water pipe (even it using a

sell:piercing valve) using a sharp bit. Remove anv

burrs resulting fl'om drilling the hole in the pipe.

Take care not to allow water to drain into the drill.

Faihu'e to drill a 1/4" hole may result in reduced

ice production or smaller cubes.
