WARNING!

Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner's Manual.

SAFETYPRECAUTIONS

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

This refrigerator must be properl)installed
and located in accordance with the Installation

Instructions befiwe it is used.

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

damage the refi-igerator and seriously iqj ure
themseh'es.

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

Skin may stick to these extrelnelv cold SUll'hces.

Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable
\:q_o_s and liquids in the vicinity oI this or any
other appliance.

In refl'igerato_s with automatic icemake_,

avoid coma ct with th e in eying parts of th e
ejector mechanism, or with the heating element

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

icemaking mechanism while the refiigerator
is plugged in.

Keep finge_s out ot the "pinch point" areas;
clearances between the doo_s and between the

doo_s and cabinet are necessarily small. Be carefifl
closing doo_s when children are in the area.

Unplug the refiJgerator before cleaning and

making repairs.

NOTE'.We stronglyrecommendthatanyservicingbe
performedby a qualified individual

_ Setting either or both controls (some models only

have one control) to the 0 (off} position does not
remove power to the light circuit,

Do not refl'eeze fl'ozen fi)ods which have

thawed completely:

DANGER!RISKOFCHILDENTRAPMENT

PROPERDISPOSALOFTHEREFRIGERATOR

Child entrapment and suffocation are not

i)rol)lems of the past, Junked or abandoned

refrigerators are still dangerous,, .even if they will

sit fin" "just a few days." If you are getting rid of
your old refiigerato_; please follow the instructions

below to hel I) prevent accidents.

Refrigerants

_dl refrigeration products contain refiigerants,
which under ti_deml law must be removed prior

to product disposal. If you are getting rid of an
old reli_igeration product, check with the company

handling the disposal about what to do.

Before YouThrowAway YourOld
Refrigeratoror Freezer:

Take off the doo_.

i,eaxe the shelxes in place so that children

may not easily climb inside.

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 necessa_ T that it be a UiAisted (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 w_lts.

IMPORTANTSAFETYINFORMATION.
READALLINSTRUCTIONSBEFOREUSING.

WARNING!

HOWTOCONNECTELECTRICITY

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

For personal safe_ 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 possibili F 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 responsibili V and
obligation to have it replaced with a properly

grounded 3-prong wall outlet.

The refiigerator should always be plugged into its
own inclividual electrical outlet which has a w)ltage
rating that matches the rating plate,

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

could cause a fire hazard fl'om oxerheated wires,

Never tmplug your refrigerator by 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 otherwise damaged. Do not

use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage
along its length or at either end.

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

Aboutthe controlsontherefrigerator, w Hot.oi,t.com

Thecontrols on your refrigerator will look like one of the following:

ControlSettings

Initially, set the control(s) at 5 (some models have only one control). Allow 24 hours for the
temperature to stabilize.

Several adjustments may be required. Adjust the control(s) one increment at a time and
aflow 12hours after each adjustment for the refrigerator to reach the temperature you

have set.

Setting the refrigerator control to 0 stops cooling in both the freezer and refrigerator
compartments, but does not shut off electrical power to the refrigerator. The freezer

control (on some models) has no effect on electrical power to the refrigerator.

Controlsettings will vary based on personal preferences, usage and operating conditions,
and may require more than one adjustment. Factors that affect temperature include the
amount of food in the refrigerator or freezer, the frequency of door opening and the
temperature of food when it is placed in the refrigerator.

the ON (down) position. On power switch
models, the green light will come on.

The icemaker will fill with wamr when it

OR

[] SHUT OFF THE MAIN WATER

SUPPLY

Turn on the nearest fimcet long enou,,h_ to clear
the line of water.

[] CHOOSE THE VALVE LOCATION

Choose a location for the xahe that is easily

accessible. It is best to connect into the side of a
;ertical water pipe. _4hen it is necessar) to connect

into a horizontal water pipe, make the connection
to the top or side, rather than at the bottom, to

axuld drawing off' any sediment fl'om the water pipe.

[] DRILL THE HOLE FOR THE VALVE

Drill a 1/4" hole in the water pipe (exen if using a
self:i)iercing, xalxe), using a sharp bit. Remoxe any

burrs resulting from drilling the hole in the pipe.
Take care not to allow water to drain into the drill.

NOTES:

• gelm'e making the connection to the reti'igerator,
be sure the refligerator power cord is not

water supply has sand or particles that could clog

the screen of the refrigerator's water wdve. Install

it in the water line near the refligerator. If using

GE SmartConnect "_ Refl'igerator Tubing kit, you

will need an additional tube (WX08X10002) to

connect the filter. Do not cut plastic tube to

install filter.

Remove the screws holding the right side of the

Normal operating sounds.

Newer refrigerators sound different from older refrigerators. Modem refrigerators

have more features and use newer technology.

Do you hear what I hear? These sounds are normal.

HUMMM...

-- WHOOSH...

• The new high efficiency compressor may mn faster

and longer than w)ur old refl'igerator and you may
hear a high-i_itched hum or pulsating sound while

it is operating.

• _4m may hear a whooshing sound when the (loo_ close.
This is due to pressure equalizing within the refl'igerato_:

CLICKS, POPS,

CRACKS and CHIRPS

• You may hear cracking or i)oi)ping sounds when the
refrigerator is first i)lugged in. This hal)pens as the

ref'rigerator cools to the correct tell/l)eY_lttlYe.

• The compressor may cause a clicking or chiq_ing
sound when attempting to restart (this could take
up to 5 minutes).

• Expansion and contraction of cooling coils dm'ing
and after defl'ost can cause a cracking or i)oi)ping

SOtlnd.

• On models with an icemake_; after an icemaking
cycle, you may hear the ice cubes dropping into

the ice bucket.

• On models with a dispense_; during water dispense,
you may hear the water lines move at initial dispense

and after dispenser button is released.

WHIR./

• You may hear the rims spinning at high speeds.

This hai_pens when the refiigerator is first plugged
in, when the doors are opened frequently or when

a large ainount of fl)od is added to the refl'igerator
or freezer compartments. The rims are helping to

maintain the correct temperatures.

WATERSOUNDS

6

• The flow of refl'igerant through the fl'eezer cooling
coils may make a gurgling noise like boiling water,

• Water dropping on the defl'ost heater can Catlse a
sizzling, poi)ping or buzzing sound during the

defrost cycle.

• A water dripping noise may occm" dm'ing the defl'ost
cycle as ice melts ti'om the evaporator and flows into

the drain pan.

• Closing the door mav cause a gurgling sound due to
pressure equalization.
