REFRIGERATOR SAFETY INFORMATION
_This is the safety alert symbol, This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others, All safety
messages will follow the safety alert symbol and the word "DANGER","WARNING",or "CAUTION", These words are defined as;
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury,
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury,
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury,
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
To reduce the risk of fire, explosion, electric shock, or injury when using your
refrigerator follow these basic safety precautions:
This refrigerator must be properly installed and located in
accordance with the Installation Instructions before it is used, Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and making repairs,
NOTE; Repairs must be performed by a qualified Service
Professional,
Replace all parts and panels before operating, Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we
strongly recommend against the use of an extension cord, However, if you must use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a
UL-listed (in the United States) or a CSA certified (in Canada), 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding type
plug and outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 120 volts,
To prevent suffocation and entrapment hazards to children,
Remove the flesh food and freezer doors from any refrigerator before disposing of it or discontinuing its use,
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance,
Power to the refrigerator cannot be disconnected by any setting on the control panel, refrigerator must be unplugged to remove power.
Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang on the door handles or the shelves in the refrigerator. They could seriously ir)jure
themselves.
In refrigerators with automatic ice makers, avoid contact with
the moving parts of the ejector mechanism, or with the heating
element that releases the cubes, Do not place fingers or hands on the automatic ice making mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged in,
Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when they are cold, Glass shelves and covers may break if exposed to sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping or
dropping, Tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small
pieces if it breaks,
Keep fingers out of the "pinch point" areas; clearances between the doors and between the doors and cabinet are necessarily
small, Be careful closing doors when children are in the area,
Do not touch the cold surfaces in the freezer compartment when
hands are damp or wet, skin may stick to these extremely cold
surfaces,
i Do not refreeze frozen foods which have thawed completely,
Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice (on models with ice
dispenser)
INSTALLATION
_Explosion Hazard.
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from refrigerator. result in fire, explosion, or death.
Failure to do so can
GEAppliances.com
_1_/_ Tip Over Hazard.
Built-in style models (model PYE, CYE, and PWE) are top heavy, especially with any doors open. These models must be secured with the anti-tip floor bracket to prevent tipping forward, which could result in death or serious injury. Read and follow the entire installation instructions for installing the anti-tip
floor bracket packed with your refrigerator.
CONNECTING ELECTRICITY
Electrical Shock Hazard.
Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet Do not remove the ground prong
Do not use an adapter Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.
Do not, under an]/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
(grounding) wall outlet to minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from this appliance,
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded,
Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is
your personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced
with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet, Do not use an adapter,
The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the rating plate,
A 115 Volt AC, 60 Hz, 15- or 20-amp fused, grounded electrical supply is required, This provides the best performance and also prevents overloading house wiring circuits which could
cause a fire hazard from overheated wires,
Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power cord,
Always grip plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet, Repair or replace immediately all power cords that have
become frayed or otherwise damaged, Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either
end, When moving the refrigerator away from the wall, be careful
not to roll over or damage the power cord,
PROPERDISPOSAL OF YOUR OLD REFRIGERATOR
Suffocation and child entrapment hazard.
Remove fresh-food and freezer doors from the refrigerator, prior to disposal. Failure to do so can result in child entrapment which can lead to death or brain damage.

About the GE® RPWF water filter cartridge.
Water Filter Cartridge
The water filter cartridge is located in one of the following places:
Bottom-freezer (BF)refrigerators:
- In the water filter compartment on the right side wall of the left-hand fresh food door.
- In the fresh food interior on the left side wall, near the top.
When to replace the filter cartridge
The filter cartridge should be repk]ced every six months or earlier
if the flow of water to the dispenser or icemaker decreases.
Touch Screen Models: A filter status message will appear on the
screen when the water filter needs to be repk]ced. The filter status message must be reset manually.
The "Water Filter: Repk]ce" status message can be reset by
entering the Settings menu from the home screen. Then, select the Water Filter menu and press the RESETbutton. This will reset the filter status.
Non-touch Screen Models: A filter indicator light (or message) will illuminate on the screen when the waterfilter needs to be
replaced. This light must be reset by pressing and holding the Reset Filter button for three seconds.
The filter cartridge has a maximum life of six months and
should be replaced when indicated by thefilter indicator on the refrigerator, or sooner if a significant reduction in flow occurs.
Removing the filter cartridge
To replace the filter, first remove the old cartridge by opening
the filter door and pulling on the bottom of the cartridge to allow it to swing outward. When the cartridge can no longer swing,
gently pull to unseat it from the cartridge holder. DO NOT TWIST CARTIDGE.A small amount of water may drip out.
Installing the Filter Cartridge
1.Align top of filter with cartridge holder and push until cartridge is fully seated.
2.While continuing to ensure cartridge is fully seated in the holder, gently
swing the filter inward until it is in a
vertical position. Iffilter will not swing
easily, check to ensure filter is properly aligned and fully seated within the
cartridge holder. Run 2 gallons of water through the cold
water dispenser (about 5 minutes) to remove air from the system. A newly
installed filter cartridqe will cause water to spurt from the dispenser. Use
a large pitcher or sports bottle to catch the water spray. DO NOT use the hot
water dispenser or hands-free auto-fill (some models) until all air is removed
from the system.
4. Reset Filter Status message
Touch Screen Models: Access RESETbutton through the Water
Filter menu. Non-touch Screen Models: Press and hold the Reset Filter button
for three seconds.
A ARNING Using the hot water dispenser prior to purging air
from the system may result in spurting of hot water and lead to hot water scalding. Follow the instructions above to purge all air from the system through the cold water dispenser prior to using the
hot water dispensen Note: It is normal for water to appear discolored during the initial
system flush. Water color will return to normal after first few minutes of dispensing.
Filter Bypass Plug To reduce the risk of property damage due to water leakage, you
MUST use the filter bypass plug when a replacement filter cartridge is not available. The dispenser and icemaker will not operate without
either the filter or bypass plug installed. The bypass plug is installed in the same way as a filter cartridge.

About the automatic ice maker.
A newly installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24 hours to begin making ice.
Automatic Ice Maker*
Icemaker The ice maker will produce seven cubes
per cycle approximately 100-130 cubes in a 24-hour period, depending on freezer
compartment temperature, room temperature, number of door openings and other use
conditions, The ice maker will fill with water when it cools to
FeelerArm 15°F (-10°C), A newly installed refrigerator may
take 12 to 24 hours to begin making ice cubes, If the refrigerator is operated before the water
line connection is made to the unit or if the water supply to an operating refrigerator is
turned off, make sure that the ice maker is turned off, Once the water has been connected
to the refrigerator, the ice maker may be turned on, See the table below for details,
To minimize the risk of personal injury, avoid contact with the moving parts of the ejector mechanism, or with the heating element that releases the cubes. Do not place fingers or hands on the automatic ice making mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged in.
You may hear a buzzing sound each time the ice maker fills with water,
Throw away the first few batches of ice to allow the water line to clear,
Be sure nothing interferes with the sweep
of the feeler arm, When the bin fills to the level of the feeler arm,
