SAFETYPRECAUTIONS

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

{{This refiigerator must be properly installed

and located in accordance with the Installation Instructions befbre it is used.

Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang on the shelves in the refrigerator. They could

damage the refrigerator and seriously injure themselves.

{{Do not touch the cold surfaces in the freezer com-

parUnent when hands are dmnp or wet. Skin m W stick to these extremely cold surfaces.

{{Do not store or use gasoline or odmr flammable

vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any

other appliance. In refrigerators with autolnatic icelnakers,

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

that releases the cubes. Do not place fingers or hands on the automatic icelnaking mechanism

while the refrigerator is plugged in.

{{Keep fingers out of dm "pinch point" areas; clear-

ances between the doors and between the doors and cabinet are necessarily small.

Be carefhl closing doors when children are in the area.

Unplug the refiigerator befbre cleaning and mak- ing repairs.

NOTE: We strong& recommend that anyservicing beperformed

byaqua/ifiedindividua/.

Turning dm control to dm Oil:or 0position does not remove power to the light circuit.

{{Do not refreeze frozen foods which hm_e

thawed completely.

DANGER!RISKOFCHILDENTRAPMENT

PROPERDISPOSALOFTHEREFRIGERATOR

Child entrapment and suffocation are not problelns of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are

still dangerous...even ifthey _411sit far '_just a few days." Ifyou are getting rid of your old refiigerator,

please fbllow the instructions below to help prevent accident.s.

Before You ThrowAway Your Old Refrigerator or Freezer:

Take offdm doors.

Lem_ethe shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.

CFCDisposal

Your old refrigerator has a cooling system that used CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons). CFCs are believed to

harm stratospheric ozone. Ifyou are fllro_4ng away your old refiigerator, make

sure the CFC refrigerant is relnoved fbr proper dis- posal by a qualified servicer. If you intentionally

release this CFC refiigerantyou can be subject to fines and impdsonment under provisions of envi-

ronmental legislation.

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 necessapy that it be a UL-listed (in the United States) or a CSA-listed (in Canada), 3-,_4regrounding 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.

IMPORTANTSAFETYINFORMATION. READALLINSTRUCTIONSBEFOREUSING.

WARNING'!

HOWTOCONNECTELECTRICITY

Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. For per- sonal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.

The power cord of this appliance is equipped _ith a 3-prong (D'ounding) plug which mates with a stan-

dard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to minimize the possibility, of electric shock hazard frOln this

appliance. Hm,e file wall outlet and circuit checked by a quali-

fied electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.

Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encoun- tered, it is your personal responsibility, anti obliga-

tion m have it replaced with a properly grounded S- prong wall outlet.

The refrigerator should always be plugged into its o_m indMdual electrical outlet which has a voltage

rating that matches the rating plate.

This provides d_e best perfimnance anti also pre-

vents overloading house wiring circuits which could

cause a fire hazard from overheated wires.

Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always _'ip plug firmly anti 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 a_ty from the

wall, be carefid not to roll over or dmnage the power cord.

USEOFADAPTERPLUGS(A pternotper i,e in

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

the use of an adapter plug.

However, if you lnUSt use an adapter, where local codes permit, a temporaryconnectionulay be made

to a properly _'ounded 2-prong wall outlet by use ofa UL-listed adapter available at lnOSt local hard-

ware stores. The larger slot in die adapter must be aligned _4dl

the larger slot in the wall oudet to provide proper polarity in the connection of the power cord.

When disconnecting the power cord fi'OUlthe

adapter, always hold the adapter in place _4th one

hand while pulling the power cord plug _4th the other hand. If this is not done, the adapter ground temdnal is veU likely to break with repeated use.

If the adapter _'ound terminal breaks, DONOTUSE the refiigerator until a proper ground has been

established.

Important Facts About Your Dispenser

Add ice before filling the glass with a bev-

erage. This xdll prevent splashing, which could cruise the ice selector switch

m stick or bind. Do not add ice fi'oln trays or bags to

the storage bin. It lnay not crash or dis- pense well.

Avoid oveKilling glass wifl_ ice and use of

narrow or extra-tall glasses. Backed-up ice canjam the chute or cruise the door in

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

Beverages and foods should not be quick-chilled in the ice storage bin.

Cans, bottles or food packages in the stor- age bin may cause the icelnaker or tuner

to jan1.

Solne crushed ice may be dispensed even though you selected CUBES.This hal>

pens occasionally when a few cubes acci- dentally get directed m the crusher.

After crushed ice is dispensed, solne water lnay (kip ffoln the chute.

Solneumes a mound of snow will form on the door in the ice chute. This condition

is normal and usually occurs when you have dispensed crashed ice repeatedly.

The snow will eventually evaporate. Dispensed water is not ice cold. For cold-

er water, silnply add crashed ice or cubes befbre dispensing water.

Installingthe water line.

Read these instructions completely and carefully.

BeforeYouBegin

When connecting a GEReverse Osmosis Water System to your refrigerator, the only

approved installation is with a GERVKIT. 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 hol- low ice cubes and slower water flow from the water dispenser.

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.

Toprevent 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 feeler arm is kept in the STOP (up) position.

Do not instafl the icemaker tubing in areas where temperatures fail below freezing.

When using any electrical device (such as a power drill) during installation, be sure the device is insulated or wired in a manner to prevent the hazard of electric shock.

All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements.

What YouWill Need

Todetermine how much copper tubing you need: Measure the distance from the water valve on the back of the refrigerator to the

water supply pipe. Then add 8 feet (244 cm). Be sure there is sufficient extra tubing [about 8 feet (244 cm) coiled into 3 turns of about 10inches (25 cm) diameter] to allow the refrigerator to move out from the wall after instaflation.

A watersupplykit (containing copper tubing, shutoffvalve and fittings listed below) is reTail-

able at extra cost fi'om your dealer or fi'om Parts and Accessories, 800-626-2002. Cold watersupply. The water pressure must be between 20 and 120 p.s.i. (1.4-8.2 bar) on

models _dthout a water filter and between 40 and 120 p.s.i. (2.8-8.2 bar) on models _dth

a water filter.

Powerdrill. Coppertubing,1/4" outer diameter to connect the refiigerator to the water supply. Be sure

both ends of the robing are cut square.

Do not use plastic tubing or plastic fittings because the water supply line is under pressure at all times. Certain types of plastic tubing may become brittle with age and crack, resulting in water leakage.
