CONNECTING ELECTRICITY

WARNING

Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet
Do not remove the ground prong
Do not use an adapter

Electrical Shock Hazard.

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

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.

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. Do not use an adapter.

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.

Signale une situation qui présente un danger imminent et qui, si elle n’est pas évitée, peut entraîner des
blessures mineures ou graves.

AVERTISSEMENT

Risque d’explosion.

Conservez les matériaux et vapeurs inflammables tels que l’essence à l’écart de votre réfrigérateur. Le non-

respect de cette instruction peut entraîner un risque d’incendie, d’explosion ou de décès.

AVERTISSEMENT

Pour réduire le risque d’étouffement pendant l’installation de ce produit, ne pas laisser les

petites pièces à la portée des enfants âgés de moins de 3 ans.

BRANCHEMENTS ÉLECTRIQUES

AVERTISSEMENT

Branchez l’appareil dans une prise triple avec terre.
Ne retirez pas la broche de terre.
N’utilisez pas d’adaptateur.

Le non-respect de ces instructions peut entraîner des risques d’incendies, des chocs électriques ou la mort.

Ne coupez pas ou n’enlevez pas, sous aucun prétexte, la troisième broche de mise à la terre du cordon d’alimentation.
Pour des raisons de sécurité, cet appareil doit être correctement mis à la terre.

Le cordon d’alimentation de cet appareil est équipé d’une fiche
à trois broches (pour une mise à la terre) qui s’adapte à la prise
de courant standard à 3 broches (pour une mise à la terre) pour
minimiser les risques de chocs électriques par cet appareil.

Faites vérifier la prise murale et le circuit électrique par un
électricien qualifié pour s’assurer que le système est correctement
mis à la terre.

Dans le cas d’une prise biphasée, l’installateur a la responsabilité
et l’obligation de la remplacer par une prise triphasée
correctement mise à la terre. N’utilisez pas d’adaptateur.

Le réfrigérateur doit toujours être branché à sa propre prise
électrique d’une tension nominale correspondant à celle indiquée
sur sa plaque signalétique.

Une alimentation électrique à 115 volts CA, 60 Hz, avec un fusible
de 15 ou 20 ampères et une mise à la terre est nécessaire. Ceci
permet d’obtenir un meilleur rendement et évite de surcharger
les circuits électriques du domicile qui risque d’occasionner un
incendie en surchauffant.

Risque de choc électrique.

Ne débranchez jamais le réfrigérateur en tirant sur le cordon
d’alimentation. Prenez toujours fermement la fiche en main et
tirez pour la sortir de la prise.

Réparez ou remplacez immédiatement tout
cordon électrique usé ou endommagé. N’utilisez
pas un cordon fissuré ou présentant des
dommages dus aux frottements soit sur sa
longueur ou aux extrémités.

Lorsque vous éloignez votre réfrigérateur du
mur, faites attention à ne pas le faire rouler
sur le cordon d’alimentation afin de ne pas
l’endommager.

GE SmartConnect™ kit between the cold water line and water
connection location, long enough to extend to the front of the
refrigerator.

• Install an optional water filter in the water line near the
refrigerator. A water filter is recommended in areas where
the water supply contains sand and particles. Installation
Instructions are packed with the filter.

NOTE: The only GE approved plastic tubing is supplied in
the GE SmartConnect™ Refrigerator Tubing kits. Do not use
any other plastic water supply line because the line is under
pressure at all times. Other types of plastic may crack or
rupture with age and cause water damage to your home.

GE SmartConnect™ Refrigerator Tubing Kits are available in the
following lengths:
2c (0.6 m) WX08X10002 15c (4.6 m) WX08X10015
6c (1.8 m) WX08X10006 25c (7.6 m) WX08X10025

Shut off the main water supply.

Turn on the nearest faucet long enough to clear the line of
water.

• Install a shut-off valve (required) between the icemaker water
valve and cold water pipe in a basement or cabinet. The shut­off valve should be located where it will be easily accessible.

• Turn on the main water supply and flush debris. Run about
a quart of water through the tubing into a bucket. Shut off
water supply at the shut-off valve.

NOTE: Saddle type shut-off valves are included in many water
supply kits, but are not recommended for this application.

NOTE: Commonwealth of Massachusetts Plumbing Codes
248CMR shall be adhered to. Saddle valves are illegal and use
is not permitted in Massachusetts. Consult with your licensed
