Safety Instructions Installation Instructions

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING!

Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner’s 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

that releases the cubes. 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 (off) position does

not remove power to the light circuit.

■ ■Do not refreeze frozen foods which have

thawed completely.

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.

CFC Disposal

Your old refrigerator has a cooling system that used

CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons). CFCs are believed to

harm stratospheric ozone.

If you are throwing away your old refrigerator, make

sure the CFC refrigerant is removed for proper

disposal by a qualified servicer. If you intentionally

release this CFC refrigerant you can be subject to

fines and imprisonment under provisions of

environmental legislation.

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.

DANGER! RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

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.

If the outlet is a standard 2-prong outlet, 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 ADAPTER PLUGS

(Adapter plugs not permitted in Canada)

Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against

the use of an adapter plug.

However, if you must use an adapter, where local

codes permit, a

temporary connection

may be made

to a properly grounded 2-prong wall outlet by use

of a UL-listed adapter available at most local

hardware stores.

The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned with

the larger slot in the wall outlet to provide proper

polarity in the connection of the power cord.

When disconnecting the power cord from the

adapter, 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 ground

terminal is very likely to break with repeated use.

If the adapter ground terminal breaks,

DO NOT USE

the refrigerator until a proper ground has been

established.

Attaching the adapter ground terminal to a wall outlet

cover screw does not ground the appliance unless the

cover screw is metal, and not insulated, and the wall

outlet is grounded through the house wiring. You should

have the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make

sure the outlet is properly grounded.

Read and follow this Safety Information carefully.

About the controls on the refrigerator.

The temperature controls on your refrigerator have

numbers. Initially set the fresh food control at and 5

the freezer control at 5.

If you want colder or warmer temperatures, adjust the

fresh food temperature first. When satisfied with that

setting, adjust the freezer temperature.

Freezer Control Fresh Food Control

5 is Initial Setting

9 is Coldest

Control Settings

Freezer Control

The freezer control maintains the temperatures throughout the freezer compartment.

Fresh Food Control

The fresh food control maintains the temperatures throughout the fresh food compartment.

Moving the fresh food control to (off) stops cooling in both areas—fresh food and freezer—but does

not shut off power to the refrigerator.

How To Test Temperatures

Use the milk test for the fresh food compartment. Place a container of milk on the top shelf

and check it a day later. If the milk is too warm or too cold, adjust the temperature controls.

Use the ice cream test for the freezer compartment. Place a container of ice cream in the

center of the freezer and check it after a day. If it’s too hard or too soft, adjust the

temperature controls.

After changing the controls, allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to reach the temperature you have set.

Automatic Icemaker

(on some models)

The icemaker will produce eight cubes per

cycle—approximately 120 cubes in a 24-hour

period, depending on 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,

keep the feeler arm in the

STOP

(up)

position.

When the refrigerator has been connected

to the water supply, move the feeler arm to

the

(down) position.

The icemaker will fill with water when it cools

to freezing. A newly-installed refrigerator may

take 8 to 12 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 swing of

the feeler arm.

It is normal for several cubes to be joined

together.

If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes

will become cloudy and taste stale.

About the ice and water dispenser.

On some models

To Use the Dispenser

Press the rim of the glass gently against the

dispenser pad.

Select

CUBED ICE , CRUSHED ICE

(on some models) or

WATER .

The spill shelf is not self-draining. To

reduce water spotting, the shelf and its grille

should be cleaned regularly.

If no water is dispensed when the refrigerator is

first installed, there may be air in the water line

system. Press the dispenser pad for at least two

minutes to remove trapped air from the water

line and to fill the water system. To flush out

impurities in the water line, throw away the first

six glassfuls of water.

A light switch (on some models) turns the

night light

in the dispenser on or off. The

light also comes on when the dispenser pad

is pressed. The light in the dispenser should

be replaced with a 7 watt maximum bulb

when it burns out.

CAUTION: Never put fingers or any other

objects into the ice crusher discharge opening.

Important Facts About Your Dispenser

■Do not add ice from trays or bags to

the storage bin. It may not crush or

dispense well.

■Avoid overfilling glass with ice and use of

narrow or extra-tall glasses. Backed-up ice

can jam the chute or cause the door in

the chute to freeze shut. If ice is blocking

the chute, poke it through with a wooden

spoon.

■Beverages and foods should not be

quick-chilled in the ice storage bin.

Cans, bottles or food packages in the

storage bin may cause the icemaker or

auger to jam.

■Some crushed ice may be dispensed even

though you selected

CUBED ICE.

This

happens occasionally when a few cubes

accidentally get directed to the crusher.

■After crushed ice is dispensed, some

water may drip from the chute.

■Sometimes a mound of snow will form on

the door in the ice chute. This condition

is normal and usually occurs when you

have dispensed crushed ice repeatedly.

The snow will eventually evaporate.

■Dispensed water is not ice cold. For

colder water, simply add crushed ice or

cubes before dispensing water.

Care and cleaning of the refrigerator.

Cleaning the Outside

The dispenser well,

(on some models)

beneath the grille, should be wiped dry. Water

left in the well may leave deposits. Remove

the deposits by adding undiluted vinegar to

the well. Soak until the deposits disappear

or become loose enough to rinse away.

The dispenser pad

(on some models). Clean

with warm water and baking soda solution—

about a tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda

to a quart (1 l) of water. Rinse thoroughly

and wipe dry.

HINT: Open the freezer door part way to prevent

dispensing of ice or water when cleaning.

The door handles and trim.

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.

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.

Press here to

remove grille.

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 l) 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.

Drain opening in freezer compartment.

During

yearly cleaning, remove bottom freezer

basket and flush a solution of baking soda—

1 teaspoon (5 ml) and 2 cups (500 ml) of

hot (not boiling) water—through the drain

line with the help of a meat baster. This will

help eliminate odor and reduce the

likelihood of a clogged drain line. If drain

becomes clogged, use a meat baster and

baking soda solution to force the clog

through the drain line.

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.

Wash ice trays in lukewarm water only—do not

put them in an automatic dishwasher.

Care and cleaning of the refrigerator.

Behind 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.

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).

Under the Refrigerator

For most efficient operation, keep the

area under the refrigerator clean. Remove

the base grille and 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.

Clean the condenser coils at least

once a year.

Preparing for Vacation

For long vacations or absences, remove

food and unplug the refrigerator. Move

the fresh food control to the (off)

position, and clean the interior with a

baking soda solution of one tablespoon

(15 ml) of baking soda to one quart (1 l)

of water. Leave the doors open.

Move the icemaker feeler arm (on some

models) to the

STOP

(up) position and shut

off the water supply to the refrigerator.

If the temperature can drop below freezing,

have a qualified servicer drain the water

supply system (on some models) to prevent

serious property damage due to flooding.

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.

Preparing to install the refrigerator.

Read these instructions completely and carefully.

Water Supply to the Icemaker

(on some models)

If the refrigerator has an icemaker, it will have to be

connected to a cold water line.

A water supply kit (containing copper tubing,

shutoff valve, fittings and instructions) is available

at extra cost from your dealer or from Parts and

Accessories, 800-626-2002.

Refrigerator Location

Do not install the refrigerator where the

temperature will go below 60°F (16°C)

because it will not run often enough to maintain

proper temperatures.

Install it on a floor strong enough to support it

fully loaded.

Clearances

Allow the following clearances for ease of

installation, proper air circulation and

plumbing and electrical connections:

Sides 5/8 (15 mm)″

Top 1 (25 mm)″

If built-in, allow 7/8

″

(22 mm) for hinge covers.

Back 1″(25 mm)

If the refrigerator is against a wall on either side,

allow the following door clearances:

20′, 22′, and 24 (19 mm)′models 3/4″

27′models 11/2″(38 mm)

Rollers

The rollers have 3 purposes:

Rollers adjust so the door closes easily when

opened about halfway. [Raise the front about

5/8 (15 mm) from the floor.]″

To assure that the doors will close automatically

from a halfway open position, there is a built-in tilt

from the front to the back of the cabinet. Side-by-

side refrigerators also have specially designed door

hinges that lift both doors slightly when opened,

allowing the force of gravity to help close them

securely.

Rollers adjust so the refrigerator is firmly

positioned on the floor and does not wobble.

Rollers allow you to move the refrigerator away

from the wall for cleaning.

To adjust the rollers,

remove the base grille by pulling

it out at the bottom.

Turn the roller adjusting screws

clockwise to raise

the refrigerator,

counterclockwise to lower

it. Use an

adjustable wrench (3/8 hex head bolt) or pliers.″

To replace base grille,

align prongs on back of grille

with clamps in cabinet and push forward until grille

snaps into place.

What You Will Need

To determine how much copper 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 10 inches (25 cm) diameter] to allow the refrigerator to move out

from the wall after installation.

■

A water supply kit

(containing copper tubing, shutoff valve and fittings listed below) is available at

extra cost from your dealer or from Parts and Accessories, 800-626-2002.

■

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 filter and between 40 and 120 p.s.i. (2.8–8.2 bar) on models with a water filter.

■

Power drill.

■

Copper tubing,

1/4″outer diameter to connect the refrigerator to the water supply. Be sure both

ends of the tubing are cut square.

Do not use plastic tubing or plastic fittings 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.

■

Two 1/4

″

outer diameter compression nuts and 2 ferrules (sleeves)—

to connect the copper tubing to

the shutoff valve and the refrigerator water valve.

■If your existing water line has a flared fitting at the end, you will need an

adapter

(available at

plumbing supply stores) to connect the water line to the refrigerator

you can cut off the flared

fitting with a

tube cutter

and then use a compression fitting.

■

Shutoff valve

to connect to the cold water line. The shutoff valve should have a water inlet with a

minimum inside diameter of 5/32 at the point of connection to the ″

COLD WATER LINE.

Saddle-type

shutoff valves are included in many water supply kits. Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type

valve complies with your local plumbing codes.

Before You Begin

When connecting a GE Reverse Osmosis Water System to your refrigerator, the only approved

installation is with a GE RVKIT.

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 RO filter can result in hollow ice cubes and slower

water flow from the water dispenser.

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 flooding. Call a qualified 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 icemaker feeler

arm is kept 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 insulated or wired in a manner to prevent the hazard of electric shock.

All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements.
