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 absolutelx necessary that it be a UiTlisted (in tile United States) or a CSA certified (in Canada),. -_are ,gr°tmding, t_,])e appliance extension cord having a grotmding

t)])e I)lu(*_and outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 120 xolts.

WARNING!

HOWTOCONNECTELECTRICITY

Donot, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.

For personal safety, this appliance must beproperly grounded.

ge.com

The power cord of this appliance is equipped

with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard 3-pr(mg (grounding) wall outlet to

minimize the possibiliQ, of electric shock hazard fl'om this appliance.

Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electridan to make sure the outlet is

properly grounded.

Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is

encountered, it is your personal responsibiliQ' and obligation to have it replaced with a properly

grounded 3-prong wall outlet. The reli-igerator should alwa D be plugged into its

own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the rating plate.

This provides the best pe_om_ance and also I)rexents oxerloading, house wiring circuits which

could cause a fire hazard fl'om oxerheated wires.

Never unplug your refrigerator bv pulling on the power cord. Mways grip plug firefly and pull

straight out fl'om the outlet.

Repair or replace immediately all power cords that have become fl'ayed or othe_Mse damaged. Do not

use a cord that sho_:s cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either end.

Trimkits anddecoratorpanels.

For panel required models

Read these instructionscompletely and carefully.

Before YouBegin

Some models are equipped with trim kits that aflow you to install door panels. Youcan order pre-cut black or white decorator panels from GE Parts and Accessories, 800.626.2002, or you can add wood panels to match your kitchen cabinets.

Panels less than 1/4" (6mm)thick

_,_]_en installing wood panels less than l/4" (6 ram) thick, you need to create a filler panel, such as l/8"

cardboard, that will fit between the face of the door and the wood panel. If you are installing the i)re-cut decorator panels, i)re-cut filler panels are included in the kit. The combined thickness of the decorator

or wood panel and the filler panel should be 11/32" (8.7 ram) with the panel itself being no larger than 1/4" (6 ram).

Panels1/4"tlfickor less

1/4" max

The handle and the top and bottom trim stand in front of the surii_ce of the do()); which requires that the filler be smaller in lenoth_ and width than the panel. Use the gtfidelines beh)w and tape the filler onto the

back of the panel.

[] Before pushing the refrigerator into the

opening, plug the power cord into the receptacle and connect waterline (if equipped). Check for leaks.

[] Locate the refrigerator's RH side and

move back approximately in line with the RH side of the cabinet opening, W. This should position the anti-tip floor bracket to engage the anti-tip base bracket on the refrigerator.

[] Gently roll the refrigerator back into

the cabinet opening until it comes to a complete stop. Check to see if the refrigerator front lines up with the cabinet front face. If not, carefully rock the refrigerator forward and backward until engagement occurs and you notice that the refrigerator is fully pushed up against the rear wall.

[] OPTIONAL: Adjust the rear (and front)

wheel height settings to fully engage the rear anti-tip brackets, while also aligning the refrigerator front with the cabinet

front face.

NOTE:

If you pull the refrigerator out and away from the wall for any reason, make sure the anti-tip floor bracket is engaged when the refrigerator

is pushed back against the rear wall.

[] 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.
