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.

Installation Instructions

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.

• NOTE: Use a padded hand truck to move this refrigerator. Place the refrigerator on the hand

truck with a side against the truck. We strongly

recommend that TWO PEOPLE move and complete

this installation.

REINSTALL DOORS, DRAWERS AND TOP CAP

[] Carefully lower the door onto the center hinge.

Reinstall top hinge. NOTE: Ensure the door is properly aligned to the case top to avoid readjustment of the door during top cap

reinstallation.

[] Place cap over the top of the refrigerator. Reinstall

the original screws in the top and back of the cap.

[] Reinstall the bottom freezer drawer. Refer to

"Replacing the Freezer Drawer" section.

[] 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

• 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.

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.

• 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.
