READAND SAVETt-tESEINSTRUCTIONS

A This is the safety alert symbol. This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others. All safety

messages will follow the safety alert symbol and the word "DANGER", "WARNING", or "CAUTION". These words are defined as:

Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.

Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury.

When using this appliance, always exercise

basic safety precautions, including the following:

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

• This refrigerator must be properly installed 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 store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

• Unplug your refrigerator before cleaning and making repairs. NOTE: We strongly recommend that any servicing be performed by a qualified individual. NOTE: Power to the refrigerator cannot be disconnected by any setting on the control panel.

• 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 certified (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.

• Replace all parts and panels before operating.

• Do not touch the cold surfaces in the freezer compartment when hands are damp or wet. Skin may adhere to these extremely cold surfaces.

• In refrigerators with automatic icemakers, avoid contact with 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.

Do not refreeze frozen foods which have thawed completely.

Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when they are cold. Glass shelves and covers may break if exposed to sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping or dropping. Tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small pieces if it breaks.

RISKOFCHILDENTRAPMENT

Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still dangerous...even if they will sit for 'lust a few days." Ifyou are getting rid of your old refrigerator, please follow the instructions below to help prevent

accidents.

REFRIGERANTS

All refrigeration products contain refrigerants, which under federal law must be removed prior to product disposal.

Before you throw away your old refrigerator or freezer:

• Take offthe doors.

• Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.

Ifyou are getting rid of an old refrigeration product, check with the company handling the disposal

about what to do.

IMPORTANTSAFETYINSTRUCTIONS

_Explosion Hazard.

Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from refrigerator. Failure to do so can

result in fire, explosion, or death.

Tip Over Hazard, Built-in style models (model PYE, CYE, GYE, PWE, CWE, and ZWE) are top heavy, especially with any doors open. These models must be secured with the anti-tip floor bracket to prevent tipping forward, which could result in death or serious injury. Read and follow the entire installation instructions for installing the anti-tip floor bracket packed with your refrigerator.

Electrical Shock Hazard,

Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet.

Do not remove the ground prong. Do not use an adapter.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

HOW TOCONNECTE1ECTRIC/TY

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 isequipped 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.

Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, 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.

A 115 Volt AC, 60 Hz, 15- or 20-amp fused, grounded electrical supply is required. 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,

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 necessary that it be a UL-listed,

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.

Water Filter Cartridge

The water filter cartridge is located in the fresh food interior on the left side wall, near the top.

Select models use radio frequency identification (RFID) to detect leaks and monitor filter status. The

RFID technology is certified by the FCC.

FCCID:ZKJ-EBX1532P001 ICID:

10229A-EBX1532P001

"This device complies with part 15of the FCC Rules.

Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1)

This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired opera tion, "

"This device complies with Industry Canada licence- exempt R$S standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1} this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device. "

When to replace the filter cartridge

The filter cartridge should be replaced every six months or earlier if 170 gallons of water has been dispensed or the flow of water to the dispenser or

icemaker decreases. Touch Screen Models: A filter status message will

appear on the screen when the water filter needs to be replaced. The filter status will automatically

update when the filter is replaced. Non-touch Screen Models: A filter indicator light will

illuminate on the screen when the water filter needs to be replaced.

Removing the filter cartridge

To replace the filter, first remove the old cartridge by opening the filter door and pulling on the bottom of

the cartridge to allow it to swing outward. When the cartridge can no longer swing, gently pull to unseat it from the cartridge holder. DO NOT TWIST CARTRIDGE. A small amount of water may drip out.

Installing the Filter Cartridge

1.Align top of filter with cartridge holder and push until cartridge is fully seated. The arrow on the

label should point up if cartridge is oriented correctly.

2. While continuing to ensure cartridge is fully seated in the holder, gently swing the filter inward until it is in position. If filter will not swing easily, check to ensure filter is properly aligned and fully seated

within the cartridge holder.

Push \Puil

3, Run two gallons of water through the cold water

dispenser (about 5 minutes) to remove air from

the system. A newly installed filter cartridge will

cause water to spurt from the dispenser. Use a large pitcher or sports bottle to catch the water

spray,

4, Reset Filter Status message (non-touch screen

models).

Note: It is normal for water to appear discolored during the initial system flush, Water color will return to normal after first few minutes of dispensing,

Filter Bypass Plug

To reduce the risk of property damage due to water leakage, you MUST use the filter bypass plug when a replacement filter cartridge is not available, The dispenser and icemaker will not operate without either the filter or bypass plug installed, The bypass

plug is installed in the same way as a filter cartridge,

To reduce the risk associated with choking, do not allow children under 3 years of age to have access to small parts during the installation of this product. The disposable filter cartridge should be replaced every 6 months at the rated capacity, or sooner if a noticeable reduction in flow rate occurs.

For the maximum benefit of your filtration system, GE recommends the use of GE-branded filters only. Using GE-branded filters in GEand HotpoinP' refrigerators provides optimal performance and reliability. GE filters meet rigorous industry NSF standards for safety and quality that are important for products that are filtering your water. GE has not qualified non-GE-branded filters for use in GE and Hotpoint refrigerators and there is no

assurance that non-GE-branded filters meet GE's standards for quality, performance and reliability. If you have questions, or to order additional filter cartridges, visit our website at www.geapplianceparts.

NOTE: A newly installed refrigerator may rake 72 to 24 hours to begin making ice.

The ice maker 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. The ice maker 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. Ifthe refrigerator isoperated before the water line

connection is made to the unit or if the water supply to an operating refrigerator is turned off, make sure

that the ice maker isturned off. Once the water has been connected to the refrigerator, the ice maker

may be turned on. See the table below for details. You may hear a buzzing sound each time the ice

maker 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 ice

maker will stop producing ice. It isnormal for several cubes to be joined together.

If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes will become cloudy, taste stale and shrink.

stainless steel.

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 worm woter ond boking sodo 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.

Silver-accented plastic parts should be washed with soap or other mild detergents. Wipe clean with a sponge, damp cloth or paper towel.

Do not use scouring pads, powdered cleaners, bleach or cleaners containing bleach because these products can scratch and weaken the paint

finish.

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.
