SAFETYPRECAUTIONS

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

This refi-igerator must be properly installed
and located in accordance with the Installation

Instructions before it is used.

Do not allow children to climb, st;rod or hang
on the shelves in the reli-igerato_: They could

damage the reti_igerator and seriously iqj ure
themselves.

Do not touch the cold surfi_ces in the fl'eezer
compartment when hands are damp or wet. Skin

may stick to these extremely cold stmfaces.

Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable
\:q)o_s and liquids in the vicinity ot this or any
other appliance.

In refl_igerato_ with automatic icemake_,

avoid contact with the moving parts of the
ejector mechanism, or with the heating element

locamd on the bottom _ff the icemake_: Do not
place finge_ or hands on the automatic

icemaking mechanism while the refiigerator
is plugged in.

Keep finge_ out ot the "pinch point" areas;
clearances between the doo_5 and between

the (loo_ and cabinet are necessarily small.
Be caretul closing (loo_ when children are

in the area.

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 absolutely necessary that it be a UL-listed (in the United
States) or a CSA-listed (in Canada), 3-wire grotmding _'l)e appliance extension cord having a grotmding

_'l)e plug and outlet and that the electrical rating ot the cord be 15 amperes (minim urn) and 120 volts.

a, WARNING!

HOWTOCONNECTELECTRICITY

Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. For

personal safety, this appfiance must be properly grounded.

The power cord of this appliance is equipped with
a 3-prong (grounding) plug which nlates with a

standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to
minimize tile possil)ilit), of electdc shock hazard

from this appliance.
Have tile wall outlet and circuit checked by a

qualNed electridan to make sure tile outlet is
propedy grounded.

If the outlet is a standard 2-prong outlet, it is gmr
personal responsibility and obligation to have it

replaced with a propedy grounded 3-prong wall
outlet.

Tile refl-igerator, should ahvavs, be I)lugged,, into its
own indixidual electrical outlet which has a xoltage
rating that matches the rating plate.

This provides tile best perlimnance and also
I)rexents oxerloading, house wiring circuits which

could cause a fire hazard from oxerheated wires.

Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on tile
power cord. Mways grip plug firefly and pull

straight out ti'oln tile outlet.

Repair 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.

When moving tile refi_igerator away from tile
wall, be carefld not to roll over or damage tile
power cord.

USEOFADAPTERPLUGS(Ad_pterplug,notpermittedinco_odo)

Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against
the use of an adapter plug.

However; if' you, must use an adapter; where local
codes i)emfit, a temporary connection may be made

to a properly grounded 2-prong wall outlet by use
of a UI Aisted adapter a\:lilable at most local

hardwai'e stores.

Tile larger slot in tile adapter must be aligned with
the larger slot in the wall outlet to provide proper

polarity in tile connection of tile power cord.

When disconnecting tile power cord ti'om tile

a(lapte_; always hold tile adal)ter in place with one
hand while pulling the power cord i)lug with the
other hand. If this is not done, tile adapter ground

temfinal is very likely to break with repeated use.

If tile adapter ground temfinal brealcs, DO NOT USE
tile reflJ oerator_ until a l)r°l ,)er ground has been

established.

Attaching the adapter ground terminal to a wall outlet
cover screw does not ground the appliance unless the

cover screw is metal, and not i))su/ated, and the waft
outlet is grounded through the house wiring. Youshould

have the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make
sure the outlet is properly groundecL

Important Facts About Your Dispenser

Do not add ice fl'om trays or bags to
the storage bin. It may not crush or

dispense well.

Avoid ovedilling glass with ice and use of

narrow glasses. Backed-up ice can jam the
chute or catlse the door in the chute to

ti'eeze shut. If ice is blocking the chute,
poke it through with a wooden spoon.

Beverages and fi)ocls should not be
quick-chilled in the ice storage bin.

Cans, bottles or fi)od packages in the

storage bin may catlse the icemaker

of a/IgeI" to janl.

To kee I) dispensed ice ti'om missing

the glass, put the glass close to, but not
touching, the dispenser opening.

Some crushed ice may be dispensed even
though you selected CUBED ICE.This

hapl)ens occasionally when a tew cubes
have been left in the crushe_:

_Mter crushed ice is dispensed, some

water may drip fl'om the chute.
Sometimes a small motmd of snow will

WHAT YOU WILL NEED

• Copper or GE SmartConnect _" Refrigerator Tubing
kit, 1/4" outer diameter to connect the refrigerator
to the water supply. If using coppe_, be sm'e both ends
of the tubing are cut square.

To detem]ine how much tubing you need: measure
the distance ti'om the water valve on the back of the

refrigerator to the water supI)ly pipe. Then add 8'

(9.4 m). Be sure there is sufficient extra tubing (about
8' [2.4 m] coiled into 3 turns of about 10" [25 cln]
diameter) to allow the refrigerator to move out froln

the wall alter installation.

GE SmartConnect'" Refl'igerator Tubing Kits are
available in the fi>lh>wing lengths:
2' (0.6 m) - WX08X10002
6' (1.8 m) - X,_TX08X10006

15' (4.6 m) - X,_TX08X10015
25' (7.6 m) - X,_TX08X10025

Be sure that the kit you select allows at least 8' (9.4 m)
as described above.

NOTE: The only GE approved plastic tubing is that
supplied in GE SmartCmmect _"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 damage to your home.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED (CONT.)

Install tile shutoff xalxe on tile nearest frequently used
drinking water line.

• A GE water supply kit (containing tubing, shutoff
wflve and fittings listed below) is awfilable at extra

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

800.626.2002.

• A cold water supply. Tile water pressm'e must be
between 20 and 190 p.s.i. (1.4-8.2 bar) on models
without a water filter and between 40 and 120 p.s.i.

(2.8-8.2 bar) on models with a water filter.

• Power drill.

• 1/2" or adjustable wrench.

• Straight mad Phillips blade screwdriver.

• Two 1/4" outer diaaneter compression nuts and

2 ferrules (sleeves)--to c(mnect tile COl)per tubing
to tile shutoff valve and tile refrigerator

water w_lve,

OR

• If you are using a GE SmartConnect _'_Refl'igerator
Tubing kit, the necessary fittings are preassembled to

the tubing.

• If wmr existing COl)per water line has a flared fitting
at the end, you will need an adapter (available at
phunbing supply stores) to connect the water line to

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

with a tube cutter and then use a compression fitting,

Do not cut formed end fl'om GE SmartConnect ''_
Refrigerator tubing.

[] SHUT OFF THE MAIN WATER

Turn on tile nearest taucet hmg enouoh_ to clear
the line of water.

[] CHOOSE THE VALVE LOCATION

Choose a location for tile valve that is easily
accessible. It is best to connect into tile side of a

vertical water pipe. When it is necessary to connect
into a horizontal water pipe, make tile connection

to tile top or side, rather than at tile bottom,
to avoid drawing off any sediment from tile

water pipe.

[] DRILL THE HOLE FOR THE VALVE

Drill a 1/4" hole in tile water pipe (exen it using a

self:l)iercing, xalxe) using, a sharp bit. Remoxe am
bur_ resulting from drilling tile hole in tile 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.

• Shutoff valve to connect to tile cold water line.
The shutoff wflve should have a water inlet with a

minimmn inside diameter of 5/39" at the point of

connection to the COLD WATER LINE. Saddle-type

shutoffwflves are included in many water supply kits.

Befl)re l)urchasing, make sure a saddle-Vpe \_flve

means that the Frost Guarff" featm'e is working to
prevent fl'eezer bm'n and improve tood preservation.

• Ybu may hear a whooshing sotmd when the doo_s close.
This is due to pressm'e equalizing within the reti_igerato_:

CLICKS, POPS,

CRACKS and CHIRPS

• You may hear cracking or i)oi)ping sotmds when the
refl'igerator is first plugged in. This hal)pens as the

refl'igerator cools to the correct temperature.

• Electronic dampers click open and closed to provide
optimal cooling and energy savings.

• The compressor may cause a clicking or chirping
sotmd when attempting to restart (this could take

up to 5 minutes).

• The electronic control board may cause a clicking
sound when relays activate to control refl'igerator

COi/lpoileilts,

• Expansion and contraction of cooling coils dm'ing

This hal)pens when the reti'igerator is first plugged

in, when the doors are opened ti'equently or when
a large alllOtlllt of tood is added to the refrigerator

or ti'eezer compartments. The tans are helping to
maintain the correct temperatm'es.

• If either door is open tot over 3 minutes, you may
