A WARNING!
Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner's Manual.
SAFETYPRECAUTIONS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:
This refl'igerat )r must be i)roi)erl ) installed
and located in accordance with the Installation hlstrucfions before it is used.
Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang
on the shelves in the refl-Jgeratm: They could damage the refl-Jgerator and seriously iqjm'e
themselves.
Do not touch the cold sm'fi_ces in the fl'eezer
compartment when hands are damp or wet. Skin max stick to these extremely cold SUll'ilces.
_ Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable
wq)ors and liquids in the vicinity of this or anv other appliance.
Keep finge_ out of the "pinch point" areas; clearances between the doms and between
the (loo_s and cabinet are necessarily small. Be carefld closing doms when children are
in the area.
In refl'Jgeratms Mth automatic icemake_s,
avoid contact with the moving parts of the
ejector mechanism, or with the heating element that releases the cubes. Do not place finge_s or hands on the automatic icemaking mechanism
while the reti-Jgerator is plugged in.
Uni)lug the reflJgerator befin'e cleaning and
making repairs.
NOTE: Westrong/}/recommendthat anyservicingbe

Setting either or both controls to 0 (off) does not remove power to the light circuit.
Do not refl'eeze fl'ozen foods which have
thawed completely.
A DANGER!RISKOFCHILDENTRAPMENT
PROPERDISPOSALOFTHEREFRIGERATOR
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the i)ast..ltmked or abandoned reli'igeratm_ are
still dangerous...even if they will sit for 'ijust a few days." If you are getting rid of yore" old refligeratm;
please follow the instructions below to hel I) prevent accidents.
Before YouThrewAway YourOldRefrigerator or Freezer:
_ke off the dome.
i.eaxe the shehes in place so that children may not easih climb inside.
Refrigerants
All refiigeration products contain refiigerants, which under fe(leral law must be removed prior
to product disI)osal. If you are getting rid of an old reliigeration product, check with the
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.
However, if you must use an extension cord, it is absoluteh necessary that it be a Ui_-listed (in the United States) or a CSA certified (in Canada), B-wire ,gr°tmding, t_,l)e appliance extension cord having a gmtmding
t)pe I)hw-, and outlet and that the electrical ratim,., of the cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 12(1 xolts.
www.GEAppliances.com
a, WARNING!
HOWTOCONNECTELECTRICITY
Donot, 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 ot this appliance is equipped
with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to
minimize the possibili Fot electric shock hazard fl'om this appliance.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrMan to make sure the outlet is
properly grounded,
_'here a standard 2-prong wall outlet is
encountered, it is your l)e_onal responsibili_' and obligation to have it replaced with a properly
grounded 3-prong wall outlet. The reli-igerator should always be plugged into its
own individual electrical outlet which has a w)ltage rating that matches the rating plate.
This provides the best pedommnce and also prevents overloading house wiring circuits which
could cause a fire haa_rd fl'om overheated wires. Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the
power cord. Mways grip plug firefly and pull straight out from the outlet.
]),el)air 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.
\4]_en moving the refrigerator away fl'om the wall, be carefld not to roll over or damage the power cord.
USEOFADAPTERPLUGS(Adapterpl.gsnotpermittedinCanada)
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against the use of an adapter plug.
However; if win, must use an adapte_, where local codes pemfit, a temporary connection may be made
to a properly grounded 2-prong wall outlet by use of a UIAisted adaptor a\_dlable at most local
hardwai'e stoi'es.
The linger slot in the adapter must be aligned Mth the larger slot in the wall outlet to provide proper
polarity in the connection of the power cord.
When disconnecting the power cord fl'om the
a(lapte_; always hold the adapter in place with one hand while pulling the power cord plug with the
other hand. If this is not done, the adapter ground temfinal is ve_' likely to break with repeated use.
If the adapter ground temfinal brea!<% DO NOTUSE the refl-igerator until a proper ground has been
established.
Attaching the adapter ground terminal to a wall outlet cover screw does not ground theapphance unless the
cover screw is metal, andnot insulated,and the wall outlet is grounded through the house wiring. Youshould
have the ckcuit checkedby a quafified electrician to make sure theoutlet is proper/)/grounded.

INSTALLING THE REFRIGERATOR
REFRIGERATOR LOCATION
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 IO0°F (37°C) because it will not perform properly.
Install it on a floor strong enough to support it fully loaded.
CLEARANCES
Allow the following clearances for ease of installation, proper air circulation and plumbing and electrical
connections. Sides 1/8" (4 mm)
Top 1" (25 mm) Back 1" (25 mm)
REMOVE TOP CAP (onsomemodels)
IMPORTANT NOTE: This refrigerator is 34-1/2" deep. Doors and passageways leading to the installation
location must be at least 36" wide in order to leave the doors and handles attached to the
refrigerator while transporting it into the installation location. If passageways are less than 36", the
refrigerator doors and handles can easily be scratched
and damaged. The top cap and doors can be removed to allow the refrigerator to be safely moved indoors.
Start with Step A.
If it is not necessary to remove doors, skip Step A. Leave tape and all packaging on doors until the
refrigerator is in the final location.
SKID REMOVAL: lilt refrigerator to each side to remove skid.

[] CONNECTING THE REFRIGERATOR
TO THE HOUSE WATER LINE
(icemaker and dispenser models)
A cold water supply is required for automatic
icemaker 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 TM Refrigerator Tubing Kit, you
will need an additional tube (WXO8XIO002) to
connect the filter. Do not cut plastic tube to install filter.

Installation Instructions
INSTALLING THE WATER LINE (ICEMAKER MODELS)
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Recommended copper water supply kits are
WX8X2, WX8X3 or WX8X4, depending on the
amount of tubing you need. Approved plastic
water supply lines are GE SmartConnect TM
Refrigerator Tubing (WX08X10002,
WX08X10006, WX08X10015 and WX08X 10025).
When connecting your refrigerator to a GE
Reverse Osmosis Water System, the only approved installation is with a GE RVKit. For other reverse osmosis water systems, follow
the manufacturer's recommendations.
If the water supply to the refrigerator is from a Reverse Osmosis Water Filtration System
AND the refrigerator also has a water filter,
use the refrigerator's filter bypass plug. Using the refrigerator's water filtration cartridge in conjunction with the RO filter can result in
hollow ice cubes. This water line installation is not warranted
by the refrigerator or icemaker manufacturer.
Follow these instructions carefully to
minimize the risk of expensive water damage. Water hammer (water banging in the pipes)
in house plumbing can cause damage to
refrigerator parts and lead to water leakage
or flooding. Call a qualified plumber to correct water hammer before installing the water
supply line to the refrigerator. To prevent burns and product damage, do not
hook up the water line to the hot water line.
If you use your refrigerator before connecting the water line, make sure the icemaker power
switch is in the O (off) position.
Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas where temperatures fall below freezing.
When using any electrical device (such as a
power drill) during installation, be sure the
device is double insulated or grounded in a
manner to prevent the hazard of electric
shock, or is battery powered. All installations must be in accordance with
local plumbing code requirements.
WHAT YOU WILL NEED
J
Copper or GE SmartConnect TM Refrigerator Tubing kit, 1/4" outer diameter to connect
the refrigerator to the water supply. If using copper, be sure both ends of the tubing are
cut square.
To determine how much tubing you need: measure the distance from the water valve
on the back of the refrigerator to the water supply pipe. Then add 8' (2.4 m). Be sure
there is sufficient extra tubing (about 8' [2.4 m] coiled into 3 turns of about 10" [25 cm] diameter) to allow the refrigerator to move
out from the wall after installation. GE SmartConnect TMRefrigerator Tubing Kits
are available in the following lengths: 2' (0.6 m) - WXO8XIO002
6' (1.8 m) -WXO8XIO006
15' (4.6 m) - WXO8X10015
25' (7.6 m) - WXO8X10025
Be sure that the kit you select allows at least
8' (2.4 m) as described above.
28
Installation Instructions
WHAT YOU WILL NEED (CONT.)
NOTE: The only GE approved plastic tubing is that supplied in GE SmartConnect TM 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 and cause water damage to your home.
AGE water supply kit (containing tubing, shutoff valve and fittings listed below) is
available at extra cost from your dealer or from Parts and Accessories, 800.626.2002 (in Canada 1.888.261.3055),
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.
Install the shutoff valve on the nearest
frequently used drinking water line.
[] SHUT OFF THE MAIN WATER
SUPPLY
Turn on the nearest faucet long enough
to clear the line of water.
[] CHOOSE THE VALVE LOCATION
Choose a location for 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 any sediment from the water pipe.
Two 1/4" outer diameter compression nuts and 2 ferrules (sleeves)--to connect the
copper tubing to the shutoff valve and the refrigerator water valve.
OR
If you are using a GE SmartConnect TM Refrigerator Tubing kit, the necessary fittings are preassembled to the tubing,
If your existing copper water line has a flared fitting at the end, you will need an adapter (available at plumbing supply
stores) to connect the water line to the refrigerator OR you can cut off the flared
fitting with a tube cutter and then use a compression fitting. Do not cut formed end from GE SmartConnect TMRefrigerator tubing.
Shutoff valve to connect to the cold water line. The shutoff valve should have a water inlet with a minimum inside diameter of
5/32" at the point of connection to the COLD WATER UNE. Saddle-type shutoff valves are included in many water supply kits. Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve complies with your local plumbing codes.
DRILL THE HOLE FOR THE VALVE
[]
Drill a 1/4" hole in the water pipe (even if using a self-piercing valve), using a sharp bit. Remove any burrs resulting from
drilling the hole in the pipe, Take care not to allow water to drain into
the drill.
Failure to drill a 1/4" hole may result in reduced ice production or smaller cubes.
