IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING!
Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owners 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.
Turning the control to the position does 0
not remove power to the light circuit.
Do not refreeze frozen foods which have
thawed completely.
DANGER! RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT
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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
GEAppliaces.com
WARNING!
HOW TO CONNECT 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.
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.
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.
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.
READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

About Energy Smart™ Models
What Energy Smart™ Does
If the ACM (Appliance Communication
Module) is connected to your refrigerator and
is receiving utility rate information, then the
Energy Smart™ feature alters the
performance of the refrigerator. It minimizes
energy consumption when directed by the
Nucleus energy manager (sold separately) or
Smart Meter. This feature can cause changes
in the refrigerator or freezer compartment
temperatures and can cause changes in rate
of ice cube production.
Energy Smart™ Override
Press and hold the Energy Smart™ button
for 3 seconds to override the Energy
Smart™ feature. The adjacent LED will
ash three times to conrm a successful
override of the feature. This will prevent the
feature from altering the performance of
your refrigerator for 18 hours. During this
18 hour period, the LED will remain OFF.
Eighteen hours after the feature has been
disabled, the Energy Smart™ feature will
return to its normal operating routine.
Energy SmartTM Switch
Models with the EnergySmart ™ feature
have an additional button and LED light on
the controls as shown. The LED will be ON
during high rate periods and OFF during
low or normal rate periods. The button is
used to disable the EnergySmart feature
(see “EnergySmart override” section).

About the temperature control dial.
Turning the dial to Off stops cooling in both compartments—fresh food and freezer. It does not shut off power to the refrigerator.
About the fresh food compartment shelves.
Shelf supports at various levels allow you to custom-space your shelves. Not all features are on all models.
Full-Width Shelves
Some models have a steel wire sliding shelf, a
stationary tempered glass shelf,
a spillproof shelf or two steel wire stationary
shelves. These shelves can be moved to
another place in the fresh food
compartment.
The full-width sliding shelf has stop-locks.
When placed correctly on the shelf supports,
the shelf will stop before coming completely
out of the refrigerator and will not tilt when
you place food on it or remove food from it.
Half-Width Shelves
One end of the shelf rests on a molded side-
wall support; a bracket on the other end hooks
into a track on the rear cabinet wall.
To remove, lift the shelf up at front, then off
the support and out of the track.
To replace, select desired shelf height. With
shelf front raised slightly, hook the brackets top
lug into the track, then lower the shelf onto the
support.
NOTE: The shelf to the right of the track is designed
to hook into the right-hand slot; the shelf to the left
is designed to hook into the left-hand slot.

About the automatic icemaker.
A newly-installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24 hours to begin making ice.
Automatic Icemaker (on some models)
The icemaker will produce approximately
100–130 cubes in a 24-hour period, depending on
the 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, move the
feeler arm to the STOP (up) position.
When the refrigerator has been connected to
the water supply, move the feeler arm to the ON
(down) position.
You will hear a buzzing sound each time the
icemaker fills with water.
The icemaker will fill with water when it cools to
15°F. A newly-installed refrigerator may take 12 to
24 hours to begin making ice cubes.
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.
NOTE: In homes with lower-than-average water
pressure, you may hear the icemaker cycle multiple
times when making one batch of ice.
Icemaker Accessory Kit
If your refrigerator did not already come equipped
with an automatic icemaker, an icemaker
accessory kit is available at extra cost.
Check the back of the refrigerator for
the specific icemaker kit needed for
your model.

Cleaning the Outside
The door handles and trim (on some models). Clean
with a cloth dampened with soapy water. Dry with a
soft cloth.
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.
The stainless steel panels and door handles (on some models)
can be cleaned with a commercially available stainless steel
cleaner. Do not use appliance wax or polish on the stainless
steel.
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 finish.
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.
After cleaning the door gaskets, apply a thin layer of
petroleum jelly to the door gaskets at the hinge side. This
helps keep the gaskets from sticking and bending out of
shape.
Avoid cleaning cold glass shelves (on some models) 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.
Condenser
There is no need for routine condenser cleaning in normal
home operating environments.
However, in environments that
may be particularly dusty or
greasy, the condenser should
be cleaned periodically for
ecient refrigerator operation.
To clean the condenser, turn the temperature control dial to
0. Sweep away or vacuum up dust.
For best results, use a brush specially designed for this
purpose. It is available at most appliance parts stores.
Moving 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.
Turn the leveling legs at each front corner of the refrigerator
counterclockwise until the rollers support
the refrigerator. 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 (on some models).
After rolling the refrigerator back into place, turn the legs
clockwise until the legs again bear the weight of the
refrigerator.
Light Bulb Replacement
To replace a burned-out bulb, unplug the refrigerator from
its electrical outlet, unscrew the bulb when cool and replace
it with an appliance bulb of the same or lower wattage.
Turning the control to the 0position does not remove power to
the light circuit.
Preparing for Vacation
For long vacations or absences, remove food and unplug the
refrigerator. Move the temperature control dial to the 0
position, and 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.
Move the feeler arm to the (up) position and STOP
shut o the water supply to the refrigerator.
If the temperature can drop below freezing, have a qualied
servicer drain the water supply system (on some models) to
prevent serious property damage
due to ooding.
Preparing to Move
Secure all loose items such as grille, shelves and drawers by
taping them securely in place to prevent damage.
Be sure the refrigerator stays in an upright position during moving.
Cleaning the condenser coils.

CLEARANCES
Leveling legs near each front corner of the refrigerator are
adjustable. They rmly position the refrigerator and prevent
it from moving when the doors are opened. Leveling legs
should be set so the front of the refrigerator is raised just
enough that the doors close easily when opened about
halfway.
Turn the leveling legs the refrigerator,clockwise to raise
counterclockwise to lower it.
Rollers next to the leveling legs allow you to move the
refrigerator away from the wall for cleaning.
Turn the legs counterclockwise until the weight of the
refrigerator is transferred from them to the rollers. After
rolling the refrigerator back into place, turn the legs
clockwise until the legs again bear the weight of the
refrigerator.
ROLLERS AND LEVELING LEGS

WHAT YOU WILL NEED
Copper or GE SmartConnectRefrigerator
Tubing kit, 1/4outer diameter to connect the
refrigerator to the water supply. If using copper, be sure
both ends of the tubing are cut square.
To determine 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
(2.4 m). Be sure there is sucient extra tubing
(about 8 [2.4 m] coiled into 3 turns of about 10’ ”
[25 cm] diameter) to allow the refrigerator to move out
from the wall after installation.
INSTALLING THE WATER LINE (ON SOME MODELS)
Installation Instructions
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Recommended copper water supply kits are WX8X2,
WX8X3 or WX8X4, depending on the amount of tubing
you need. Approved plastic water supply lines are GE
SmartConnectRefrigerator Tubing (WX08X10006,
WX08X10015 and WX08X10025).
When connecting your refrigerator to a GE Reverse
Osmosis Water System, the only approved installation is
with a GE RVKit. For other reverse osmosis water systems,
follow the manufacturer’s recommendations.
This water line installation is not warranted by the
refrigerator or icemaker manufacturer. Follow these
instructions carefully to minimize the risk of expensive
water damage.
Water hammer (water banging in the pipes) in house
plumbing can cause damage to refrigerator parts and lead
to water leakage or ooding. Call a qualied plumber to
correct water hammer before installing
the water supply line to the refrigerator.
To prevent burns and product damage, do not hook up the
water line to the hot water line.
If you use your refrigerator before connecting the water
line, make sure the feeler arm is in the (up) position.STOP
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 double insulated or
grounded in a manner to prevent the hazard of electric
shock, or is battery powered.
All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing
code requirements.

Choose a location for the valve that is easily accessible. It
is best to connect into the side of a vertical water pipe.
When it is necessary to connect into a horizontal water
pipe, make the connection to the top or side, rather than
at the bottom, to avoid drawing off any sediment from
the water pipe.
Drill a 1/4 hole in the water pipe (even if using a self-
piercing valve), using a sharp bit. Remove any burrs
resulting from drilling the hole in the pipe. Take care
not to allow water to drain into the drill. Failure
to drill a 1/4 hole may result in reduced ice
production or smaller cubes.
