CFCOisposal
Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system
that used (FCs ((hlorofluoro(arbons). (F(s are
believed to harm suatospheri_ ozone.
If you me throwing away your old refrigerator, make
sure the CFC refiigerant is rem{)ved fin proper
disposal by a qualified servicer. If you intentionally
release this CFC retiigerant you can be subject to
fines and imprisonment under pr_Msions of
environmental legislation.
USEOFEXTENSIONCORDS
Because ofpotential 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 necessa U that it be a UI Aisted (in the United
States) or a CSA-listed (in (_anada), 3-x_ate gtoundmg type apphan_ e extensum _ot d haxdng a grounding
type plug and outlet and that the ele_ uk al rating of the _ord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 120 vohs.
IMPORTANTSAFETYINFORMATION.
READALLINSTRUCTIONSBEFOREUSING.
A WARNING!
HOWTOCONNECTELECTRICITY
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 pc)wer cord of this appliance is equipped xfith
a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates _dth a
standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to
minimize the possibility of elecuic shock hazard
fiom this appliance.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a
qualified ele(trician to make sure the outlet is
properly grounded.
If tile oudet is a standard 2-prong oudet, it isyour
personal responsibility and obligation to have it
repla(ed _dth a properly grounded 3-prong wall
outlet.
The refrigerator shouM always be plugged into its
own indMdual electrical outlet which has a vohage
rating that matches tlle rating plate.
This provides the best performance and also
prevents overh)ading house wiring cir(uits whidl
could cause a tire hazard flom overheated wires.
Never unplug your reffigervUor by pulling on tlle
power (ord. Ahvays grip plug firmly and pull suaight
out fiom the outlet.
Repair or replace immediately all power cords that
have become fiayed or otherwise dmnaged. Do not
use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion dmnage
along its length or at either end.
When moving tile refrigerator away flom the
wall, be (mefhl not to roll over or damage the
power cord.
USEOFADAPTERPLUGS(Ad_pte_plug_notpe_mittedinC_,_d_)
Because ofpotential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against
the use of an adapter plug.
H{rwever, if you must use an adapter, where local
codes permit, a temporaryconnectionmay be made
to a properly gn nmded 2-prong wzdloutlet by use
ofa UI Aisted adapter available at most local
hardware stores.
The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned with
the larger sh)t in the wall outlet to proxdde proper
polarity in the cr)nnection of the power cor'd.
When disconnecting the power cord fl'om the
a&lpter, 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 gr(rund
terminal is very likely to break with repeamd use.
If the adapter ground terminal breaks, DONOT
USEthe refrigerator until a proper ground has
been established.
Attaching the adapter ground terminal to a waft outlet
cover screw does not ground the appliance unless the
cover screw is meta/, and not lesu/ated, and the waft
outlet is grounded through the house wiring. Youshou/d
have the circuit checkedby a qualified electric&n to make
sure the outlet is proper/y grounde_

Aboutthe temperaturecontrols, vvvvw.GEAppliances.com
The temperature controls are preset in the factory at 5 for both the
refrigerator and freezer compartments. Allow 24 hours for the
temperature to stabilize to the preset recommended settings.
Several adjustments may be required. Adjust the controls one
increment at a time, and allow 12hours after each adjustment for the
refrigerator to reach the temperature you set.
Setting either or both controls to 0 stops cooling in both the freezer
and refrigerator compartments, but does not shut off electrical power
to the refrigerator.
Controlsettings will vary based on personal preferences, usage, and
operating conditions and may require more than one adjustment.

poke it tln'_)ugh _dth a wooden spoon.
>:Beverages and fi)ods sh{)uM not be

Installingthewater line.
Read these instructions completely and carefully.
BeforeYouBegin
i;__When connecting aGEReverse Osmosis Water System to your refrigerator, the only approved
instaflation 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 ROfilter can result in hollow ice cubes and slower water flow
from the water dispenser.
i;:__This water line installation is not warranted by the refrigerator or icemaker manufacturer. Follow
these instructions carefufly to minimize the risk of expensive water damage.
i::_;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 quafified plumber to correct water hammer
before instafling the water supply line to the refrigerator.
>: To prevent bums and product damage, do not hook up the water line to the hot water line.
i;:__If you use your refrigerator before connecting the water line, make sure the icemaker power
switch is set to the OFFposition.
i;:__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 insulated or wired in a manner to prevent the hazard of electric shock.
i;:__All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements.
WhatYouWillNeed
Todetermine 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 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 waft
after installation.
i__AGE water supply kit (containing tubing, shutoffvalve and fittings listed beh)w) is available at exua cost
fiom y{)ur dealer or fiom Parts and Accessories, 800-626-2002.
i_:_;Cold water supply. The water pressure must be between 20 and 120 p.s.i. (1.4-8.2 bar) on models without
a water fiher and between 40 and 120 p.s.i. (2.8-8.2 bin) on models _dth a water fiher.
i_:Powerdrill.
i__Copper tubing orplastic tubing from a GEwater supply kit, 1/4" outer (fiameter to connect the refiigerator to
the water supply. Be sure both ends of the tubing are cut square.
Do not use plastic tubing or plastic fittings unless they are part of a GEwater supply kit 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.
i__Two I/4' outer diameter compressionnuts and 2 ferrules (sleeves)--_o connect the robing to the shutoffvalve
and the retiigerator water valve.
;i_If your existing water line has a flmed fitting at the end, you will need m_adapter(avzdlable at plumbing
supply stores) to connect the water line to the refiigeramr OByou can cut offthe flmedfitfing with a

Installingthe water line.
ShutOff theMain WaterSupply
Turn on the nearest fau(et long enough to dear tile line of water.
Install the Shutoff Valve
Install tile shutoffvalve on tile nearest fiequently
@
used drinking water line.
Choose a location ti)r the valve that is easily
@
accessible. It is best to connect into the side of a
vertical water pipe. When itis necessa U to
connect into a horizontal water pipe, make the
connection to the top or side, rather than at the
bottom, to av_)id drawing off aW sediment flom
the water pipe.
@
Drill a 1/4" hole in tile water pipe, using a sharp
bit. Remove any burrs resuhing fiom drilling tile
hole in tlle pipe.
Fasten tile shutoffvalve to tile cold water pipe
@
with the pipe damp.
Route the Tubingand ConnectIt to the Shutoff
Route the robing between tile cold water line and
the refiigerator.
Route the tubing through a hole drilled in tile wall
or floor (belfind tlle retiigerator or a(!ja(ent base
(abinet) as close to tlle wall as possible.
Be sure there is sufficient extra tubing [about
8' (244 cm) coiled into 3 turns of about 10"
(25 cm) diameter] to aflow the refrigerator to
move out from the waft after instaflafion.
Place tile compression nut and ferrule (sleeve)
