IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING!
Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner’s Manual.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:
This refrigerator must be properly installed
and located in accordance with the Installation Instructions before 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
compartment when hands are damp or wet. Skin may stick to these extremely cold surfaces.
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable
vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
In refrigerators with automatic icemakers,
avoid contact with the moving parts of the ejector mechanism, or with the heating element located on the bottom of the icemaker. Do not place fingers or hands on the automatic icemaking mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged in.
Keep fingers out of the “pinch point” areas;
clearances between the doors and between the doors and cabinet are necessarily small. Be careful closing doors when children are in the area.
Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and making
repairs.
NOTE: We strongly recommend that any servicing be performed by a qualified individual.
Non-LCD models: Setting either or both controls
to 0 (off) does not remove power to the light circuit.

PROPER DISPOSAL OF THE REFRIGERATOR
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still dangerous…even if they will sit for “just a few days.” If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator, please follow the instructions below to help prevent accidents.
Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigerator or Freezer:
Take off the doors.
Leave the shelves in place so that children may not
easily climb inside.
Refrigerants
All refrigeration products contain refrigerants, which under federal law must be removed prior to product disposal. If you are getting rid of an old refrigeration product, check with the company handling the disposal about what to do.
USE OF EXTENSION CORDS
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 grounding 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING!
HOW TO C ONNECT ELECTRICITY
Do not, 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 of this appliance is equipped with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from this appliance.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.
If the outlet is a standard 2-prong outlet, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the rating plate.
This provides the best performance and also prevents overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires.
Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always grip plug firmly and 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 away from the wall, be careful not to roll over or damage the power cord.
READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

About ClimateKeeper2.
™
(on some models)
How it Works
The ClimateKeeper2
™
is the industry’s most advanced refrigeration system, delivering optimum temperature and humidity performance to keep food garden fresh longer and reduce freezer burn, while maintaining E star-level efficiency.
The ClimateKeeper2 system features two evaporators—one for the refrigerator and one for the freezer.
This provides two separate cooling systems, and separates the airflow between the fresh food and freezer compartments during normal cooling operations.*
This ensures that the humidity levels in the fresh food compartment are significantly higher than in a conventional system,** allowing fresh produce and other unsealed foods to retain their moisture content and freshness longer. Moisture sensitive foods such as fresh fruit, salads, rice, etc., can now be stored on open shelves without excessive moisture loss. Due to the higher humidity in
the refrigerator, you may on occasion experience fog or small amounts of moisture in the refrigerator compartment. This is normal and may come and go as different food loads and environmental conditions change. Wipe dry with a paper towel if desired.
The separate airflow system minimizes the mixing of air between the two compartments, which reduces fresh food odor transfer to improve the taste of ice.
The ClimateKeeper2 system also reduces the number of defrosting cycles in the freezer evaporator, thereby reducing freezer burn.
*Freezer air is used in the CustomCool
feature.
**Testing shows a higher level of humidity in
the Fresh Food section in ClimateKeeper2 refrigerators versus conventional units.
About Set Features.

About the refrigerator doors.
Refrigerator Doors
The refrigerator doors may feel different than the ones you are used to. The special door opening/closing feature makes sure the doors close all the way and are securely sealed.
When opening and closing the door, you will notice a stop position. If the door is opened past this stop point, the door will remain open to allow you to load and unload food more easily. When the door is only partially open, it will automatically close.
The resistance you feel at the stop position will be reduced as the door is loaded with food.
When the door is only partially open, it will automatically close.
Beyond this stop the door will stay open.
Door Alignment
If doors are uneven, adjust the refrigerator door.
Using a 7/16”wrench, turn the door
adjusting screw to the right to raise the door, to the left to lower it. (A nylon plug, imbedded in the threads of the pin, prevents the pin from turning unless a wrench is used.)
After one or two turns of the wrench, open and close the refrigerator door and check the alignment at the top of the doors.

Automatic Icemaker
The icemaker will produce seven cubes per cycle—approximately 100–130 cubes in a 24-hour period, depending on freezer compartment temperature, room temperature, number of door openings and other use conditions.
If the refrigerator is operated before the water connection is made to the icemaker, set the power switch in the O (off) position.
When the refrigerator has been connected to the water supply, set the power switch to the l (on) position.
The icemaker will fill with water when it cools to 15°F (–10°C). A newly installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24 hours to begin making ice cubes.
You will hear a buzzing sound each time the icemaker fills with water.
Throw away the first few batches of ice to allow the water line to clear.
Be sure nothing interferes with the sweep of the feeler arm.
When the bin fills to the level of the feeler arm, the icemaker will stop producing ice. It is normal for several cubes to be joined together.
If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes will become cloudy, taste stale and shrink.
Special note about dispenser models:
Dispenser models have a tilt-out ice bin.
The bin can be tilted out as shown in the illustrations, and it will hold itself up while you take ice out or turn the icemaker power switch on and off. Be sure to put the bin back in place before closing the door.
To restore your ice level from an empty
bucket stage, the following steps are recommended:
12 hours after the first batch of ice has fallen into the bin, dispense 3 to 4 cubes.
After an additional 6 hours, dispense 3 to 4 cubes again.
These steps will restore your ice level in the shortest amount of time.
NOTE:In homes with lower-than-average water pressure, you may hear the icemaker cycle multiple times when making one batch of ice.
A newly installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24 hours to begin making ice.
Lift the bin, then pull it
forward until the bin stops.

Precise Fill (on some models)
Quick Ice
This water dispenser is equipped with a feature called “precise fill.” This feature allows you to choose a precise amount of water (cups or ounces) that you would like dispensed. Pints and Liters are also available for LCD models.
LCD Models Access By: Home > Options > Dispenser Options >
Precise Fill > Set Amount Activate By: Using the arrow buttons to select
the desired amount. Press MORE UNITS to select between CUPS, OUNCES, PINTS or LITERS.
Non-LCD Models
Press the PRECISE FILL CUPS/OZ pad. The WATER pad will light and the CRUSHED and CUBED ice pads will turn off. The last unit used will be displayed.
Press the PRECISE FILL pad again to toggle between cups and ounces.
If you selected OUNCES, press the or pad to select the number of ounces you would like to have dispensed between 2–99 ounces. The default is 8 ounces.
If you selected CUPS, press the or pad to select the amount you would like to have dispensed. They are displayed as 1/4, 1/3, 1/2, 2/3 and 3/4, with the highest amount being 16 3/4 cups. The default is 1 cup.
Press the cup against the cradle and water will begin dispensing. It will automatically stop when the amount set has been dispensed. The display will show the amount of water dispensed, beep, then reset after 5 seconds.
NOTE: Do not leave the dispenser unattended when water is being dispensed.
If you would like to stop dispensing water before the specified amount has been dispensed, just remove the cup from the cradle. The display will show the amount that has been dispensed for 5 seconds. If the cup switch is pressed again within that time, the dispenser will continue up to the set amount. If not, the display will return to the set amount.
When you need to speed up ice production, use the Quick Ice feature. While this feature is turned on, the freezer fan runs continuously for 48 hours, or until the feature is turned OFF. During this period, ice production will increase up to 40%. Models with the integrated ice feature system require at FIRST USE at least half an 8 oz. glass of ice to be dispensed every 6 to 12 hours. This will help the icemaker fill the bucket properly so that dispensing is better.
How to Use LCD Models:
Access by: Home > Options > Freezer Options >
Quick Ice
Activate by: Pressing ON. Deactivate by: Pressing OFF.

Cleaning the Outside
The dispenser drip area, beneath the grille,
should be wiped dry. Water left in this area may leave deposits. Remove the deposits by adding undiluted vinegar to the well. Soak until the deposits disappear or become loose enough to rinse away.
The dispenser cradle. Before cleaning, lock the dispenser by pressing and holding the LOCK or LOCK CONTROLS pad for 3 seconds. Clean with warm water and baking soda solution—about a tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda to a quart (1 liter) of water. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry.
The door handles and trim. Clean with a cloth dampened with soapy water. Dry with a soft cloth.
The stainless steel panels and door handles
(on some models) can be cleaned with a commercially available stainless steel cleaner. A spray-on stainless steel cleaner works best.
Do not use appliance wax or polish on the stainless steel.
Keep the outside clean. Wipe with a clean cloth lightly dampened with kitchen appliance wax or mild liquid dish detergent . Dry and polish with a clean, soft cloth.
Do not wipe the refrigerator with a soiled dish cloth or wet towel. These may leave a residue that can erode the paint . Do not use scouring pads, powdered cleaners , bleach or cleaners containing bleach because these products can scratch and weaken the paint f inish.
Cleaning the Inside
To help prevent odors, leave an open box
of baking soda in the fresh food and freezer compartments.
Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning.
If this is not practical, wring excess moisture out of sponge or cloth when cleaning around switches, lights or controls.
Use warm water and baking soda solution— about a tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda to a quart (1 liter) of water. This both cleans and neutralizes odors. Rinse and wipe dry.
Use of any cleaning solution other than that which is recommended, especially
those that contain petroleum distillates, can crack or damage the interior of the refrigerator.
Avoid cleaning cold glass shelves with hot water because the extreme temperature difference may cause them to break. Handle glass shelves carefully . Bumping tempered glass can cause it to shatter.
Do not wash any plastic refrigerator parts in the dishwasher.
The chill/thaw tray is dishwasher safe.
Dispenser drip area.
Care and cleaning of the refrigerator.
About the ice and water dispenser. (on some models)
Important Facts About Your Dispenser
Do not add ice from trays or bags to
the storage drawer. It may not crush or dispense well.
Avoid overfilling glass with ice and use
of narrow glasses. Backed-up ice can jam the chute or cause the door in the chute to freeze 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 drawer. Cans, bottles or food packages in the storage drawer may cause the icemaker or auger to jam.
To keep dispensed ice from 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. This happens occasionally when a few cubes accidentally get directed to the crusher.
After crushed ice is dispensed, some
water may drip from the chute.
Sometimes a small mound of snow
will form on the door in the ice chute. This condition is normal and usually occurs when you have dispensed crushed ice repeatedly. The snow will eventually evaporate.
17
For long vacations or absences, remove food and unplug the refrigerator. Clean the interior with a baking soda solution of one tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda to one quart (1 liter) of water. Leave the doors open.
Set the icemaker power switch to the O (off) position and shut off the water supply to the refrigerator.
If the temperature can drop below freezing, have a qualified servicer drain the water supply system to prevent serious property damage due to flooding.
GEAppliances.com
Behind the Refrigerator
Be careful when moving the refrigerator away from the wall. All types of floor coverings can be damaged, particularly cushioned coverings and those with embossed surfaces.
Pull the refrigerator straight out and return it to position by pushing it straight in. Moving the refrigerator in a side direction may result in damage to the floor covering or refrigerator.
When pushing the refrigerator back, make sure you don’t roll over the power cord or icemaker supply line.
Preparing for Vacation
Preparing to Move
Secure all loose items such as shelves and drawers by taping them securely in place to prevent damage.
When using a hand truck to move the refrigerator, do not rest the front or back of the refrigerator against the hand truck. This could damage the refrigerator. Handle only from the sides of the refrigerator.
Be sure the refrigerator stays in an upright position during moving.

Trim kits and decorator panels.
Read these instructions completely and carefully.
Before You Begin
Some models are equipped with trim kits that allow you to install door panels . You can order pre-cut black, white, bisque or stainless steel decorat or 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” (6 mm) thick
When installing wood panels less than 1/4” (6 mm) thick, you need to create a filler panel, such as 1/8”
cardboard, that will fit between the face of the door and the wood panel. If you are installing the pre-cut decorator panels, pre-cut filler panels are included in the kit . The combined thickness of the decorator
or wood panel and the filler panel should be 1/4” (6 mm).
For CustomStyle™models
3/4” (19 mm) or Raised P anel
A raised panel design screwed or glued to a 1/4” (6 mm) thick backing, or a 3/4” (19 mm) routed board can be used. The raised portion of the panel must be fabricated to permit clearances of at least 2” (5.1 cm) from
the handle side for fingertip clearance.
Panels thicker than 1/4” (6 mm), up to 3/4” (19 mm) max, will require that the outer 5/16” (8 mm) of panel perimeter be no thicker than 1/4” (6 mm).
Weight limitations for custom panels: Fresh Food 38 lbs. (17 kg) max. Freezer Door 28 lbs. (13 kg) max.

CONNECTING THE REFRIGERATOR TO THE HOUSE WATER LINE (icemaker and dispenser models)
A cold water supply is required for automatic icemaker and dispenser 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
™
Refrigerator Tubing Kit , you will need an additional tube (WX08X10002) to connect the filter. Do not cut plastic tube to install filter.
If you are using copper tubing, place a
compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) onto the end of the tubing coming from the house cold water supply.
If you are using the GE SmartConnect
™
tubing, the nuts are already assembled
to the tubing.
If you are using copper tubing, insert
the end of the tubing into the refrigerator connection, at the back of the refrigerator, as far as possible. While holding the tubing, tighten the fitting.
If you are using GE SmartConnect
™
tubing,
insert the molded end of the tubing into the refrigerator connection, at the back of the refrigerator, and tighten the compression nut until it is hand tight. Then tighten one additional turn with a wrench. Overtightening may cause leaks.
