IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

To reduce the risk of fire, explosion, electric shock, or injury when using your refrigerator follow these basic safety precautions: WARNING 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. 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 touch the cold surfaces in the freezer compartment when hands are damp or wet, skin may stick to these extremely cold surfaces. Do not refreeze frozen foods which have thawed completely. 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 ice making mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged in. To reduce the risk of injury when using your refrigerator, follow these basic safety precautions. This refrigerator must be properly installed and located in accordance with the Installation Instructions before it is used. Unplug the refrigerator before making repairs, replacing a light bulb, or cleaning. Note: Power to the refrigerator cannot be disconnected by any setting on the control panel. Note: Repairs must be performed by a qualified service professional. Replace all parts and panels before operating. Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. 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. To prevent suffocation and entrapment hazards to children, remove the fresh food and freezer doors from any refrigerator before disposing of it or discontinuing its use. Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang on the door handles or the shelves in the refrigerator. They could seriously injure themselves.CAUTION3 GEAppliances.com READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING Suffocation and child entrapment hazard. Remove fresh-food and freezer doors from the refrigerator, prior to disposal. Failure to do so can result in child entrapment which can lead to death or brain damage. 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 fresh food and freezer 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.

PROPER DISPOSAL OF YOUR OLD REFRIGERATOR

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. IMPORTANT: CONNECTING ELECTRICITY WARNING 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. SAFETY (CONT.)

Do not add ice from trays or bags to the door ice maker bucket. It may not crush or dispense.

Avoid overfilling glass with ice and use of narrow glasses. Backed-up ice can jam the chute or cause the door in the chute to freeze shut. If ice is blocking the chute remove the ice bucket, poke it through with a wooden spoon.

Beverages and foods should not be quick-chilled in the door ice maker bin. Cans, bottles or food packages in the storage drawer may cause the ice maker or auger to jam.

To keep dispensed ice from missing the glass, put the glass close to, but not touching, the dispenser opening.

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 small 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. If no water is dispensed when the refrigerator is first installed, there may be air in the water line system. Press the dispenser paddle for at least five 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 full glasses of water. To remove Dispenser Tray (Type A Only)

A cold water supply is required for automatic ice maker operation. If there is not a cold water supply, you will need to provide one. See Installing the Water Line section. NOTES:

• Before making the connection to the refrigerator, be sure the refrigerator power cord is not plugged into the wall outlet.

• If your refrigerator does not have a water filter, we recommend installing one if your water supply has sand or particles that could clog the screen of the refrigerator’s water valve. Install it in the water line near the refrigerator. If using GE SmartConnect

Refrigerator Tubing Kit, you will need an additional tube (WX08X10002) to connect the filter. Do not cut plastic tube to install filter.

• Before connecting the water line to the house, purge the house line for at least 2 minutes. If you are using copper tubing, place a compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) onto the end of the tubing coming from the house cold water supply. If you are using the GE SmartConnect

tubing, the nuts are already assembled to the tubing. If you are using copper tubing, insert the end of the tubing into the refrigerator connection, at the back of the refrigerator, as far as possible. While holding the tubing, tighten the fitting. If you are using GE SmartConnect

tubing, insert the molded end of the tubing into the refrigerator connection, at the back of the refrigerator, and tighten the compression nut until it is hand tight. Then tighten one additional turn with a wrench. Over tightening may cause leaks. Fasten the tubing into the clamp provided to hold it in position. You may need to pry open the clamp.

TURN ON THE WATER SUPPLY

Turn the water on at the shutoff valve (house water supply) and check for any leaks.

See the grounding information attached to the power cord.

The leveling legs have 2 purposes:

1) Leveling legs adjust so the refrigerator is

firmly positioned on the floor and does not wobble.

2) Leveling legs serve as a stabilizing brake

to hold the refrigerator securely in position during operation and cleaning. The leveling legs also prevent the refrigerator from tipping. Turn the leveling legs clockwise to raise the refrigerator, counterclockwise to lower it. NOTICE: To avoid possible property damage, the leveling legs must be firmly touching the floor.

Remember a level refrigerator is necessary for getting the doors perfectly even. If you need help, review the previous section on leveling the refrigerator. If you open the freezer door, you can see the center hinge. Insert 1/4” Allen wrench into the shaft of the center hinge. Adjust the height by turning clockwise or counterclockwise. When you turn counterclockwise, the door will move up.

Refrigerator 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. If the water supply to the refrigerator is from a Reverse Osmosis (RO) 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 water filter can result in hollow ice cubes. Some models do not come equipped with the filter bypass plug. To obtain a free bypass plug, call 800-GECARES. In Canada call

This water line installation is not warranted by the refrigerator or ice maker 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. For PFE27 and PYE23K Models: If the refrigerator is operated before the water connection is made to the ice maker, press and hold both the CRUSHED and CUBED buttons together for 3 seconds to disengage the ice maker. When the refrigerator has been connected to the water supply, press and hold both the CRUSHED and CUBED buttons together for 3 seconds to re-engage the ice maker. For Non-LCD Models: If the refrigerator is operated before the water connection is made to the ice maker, press and release the ICE MAKER button on the control panel to disengage the ice maker. When the refrigerator has been connected to the water supply, press and release the ICE MAKER button on the control panel to re-engage the ice maker.

Refrigerator Tubing kit, 1/4” outer 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. Be sure there is sufficient extra tubing to allow the refrigerator to move out from the wall after installation. GE SmartConnect

Refrigerator Tubing Kits are available in the following lengths: 8’ (2.4 m) – WX08X10006 15’ (4.6 m) – WX08X10015 25’ (7.6 m) – WX08X10025 For PFE28 and PYE22P Models: If the refrigerator is operated before the water connection is made to the ice maker, see ICE MAKER under SETTINGS menu of the LCD Operations section and follow the screen commands to turn the ice maker OFF. Do not install the ice maker 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.Installation Instructions INSTALLING THE WATER LINE (cont.) NOTE: The only GE approved plastic tubing is that supplied in GE SmartConnect

Refrigerator Tubing kits. Do not use any other plastic water supply line because the line is under pressure at all times. Certain types of plastic will crack or rupture with age and cause water damage to your home.

• A GE water supply kit (containing tubing, shutoff valve and fittings listed below) is available at extra cost from your dealer or from Parts and Accessories, 800.626.2002 (in Canada

• A cold water supply. The water pressure must be between 20 and 120 p.s.i. (1.4–8.1 bar).

• If you are using a GE SmartConnect

Refrigerator Tubing kit, the necessary fittings are preassembled to the tubing.

• If your existing copper 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 OR you can cut off the flared fitting with a tube cutter and then use a compression fitting. Do not cut formed end from GE SmartConnect

• 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. WHAT YOU WILL NEED (CONT.)

SHUT OFF THE MAIN WATER SUPPLY

Turn on the nearest faucet long enough to clear the line of water. Install the shutoff valve on the nearest frequently used drinking water line.

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. 36Installation Instructions

Place the compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for copper tubing onto the end of the tubing and connect it to the shutoff valve. Make sure the tubing is fully inserted into the valve. Tighten the compression nut securely. For plastic tubing from a GE SmartConnect

Refrigerator Tubing kit, insert the molded end of the tubing into the shutoff valve and tighten compression nut until it is hand tight, then tighten one additional turn with a wrench. Over tightening may cause leaks. 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 plumber.

To complete the installation of the refrigerator, go back to Step 11 in Installing the Refrigerator.Normal operating conditions. Newer refrigerators sound different from older refrigerators. Modern refrigerators have more features and use newer technology. HUMMM... WHOOSH...

The new high efficiency compressor may run faster and longer than your old refrigerator and you may hear a high-pitched hum or pulsating sound while it is operating. You may hear a whooshing sound when the doors close. This is due to pressure equalizing within the refrigerator. After dispensing ice, a motor will close the ice chute to keep warn room air from entering the ice bucket, maintaining ice at a freezing temperature.The hum of the motor closing the ice chute is normal, shortly after dispensing ice. You may hear the fans spinning at high speeds. This happens when the refrigerator is first plugged in, when the doors are opened frequently or when a large amount of food is added to the refrigerator or freezer compartments. The fans are helping to maintain the correct temperatures.

The fans change speeds in order to provide optimal cooling and energy savings. CLICKS, POPS, CRACKS and SNAPS

You may hear cracking or popping sounds when the refrigerator is first plugged in. This happens as the refrigerator cools to the correct temperature.

Expansion and contraction of cooling coils during and after defrost can cause a cracking or popping sound.

On models with an ice maker, after an ice making cycle, you may hear the ice cubes dropping into the ice bucket. On models with a dispenser, during water dispense, you may hear the water lines move at initial dispense and after dispenser button is released. WATER SOUNDS

The flow of refrigerant through the cooling coils may make a gurgling noise like boiling water.

Water dropping on the defrost heater can cause a sizzling, popping or buzzing sound during the defrost cycle. A water dripping noise may occur during the defrost cycle as ice melts from the evaporator and flows into the drain pan.

Closing the door may cause a gurgling sound due to pressure equalization. Do you hear what I hear? These sounds are normal.

It can take up to 24 hours for the refrigerator and freezer temperatures to match the display. During that time refrigerator and freezer door openings should be minimized. TIPS

Freezer cools first. Refrigerator compartment cools last; it may take several hours after the freezer. Turning off ice maker makes both fresh food and freezer food cool faster.Troubleshooting Tips Save time and money!

Answer Explanation The refrigerator water filter may require replacement prior to six months TRUE The water filter indicator will indicate the need to replace the water filter every six months or 170 gallons of water dispensed (select models only). Water quality varies from city to city. If water flow from the dispenser slows, or ice production decreases, the water filter should be replaced, even though the filter indicator may not indicate the need for replacement. The automatic ice maker in my refrigerator will produce ice when the refrigerator is plugged in to a power receptacle. MYTH The refrigerator must be connected to water, and the ice maker must be turned on. Make sure the ice maker is turned on, only after the water line is connected and water is turned on. The ice maker can be turned on/ off from the controls and ensure the ice maker is on, as indicated on the refrigerator control panel. See About the Automatic Ice Maker. After the refrigerator has been plugged in and connected to water, I will immediately have unlimited chilled water available from the water dispenser. MYTH The water dispenser tank located inside the refrigerator stores water for dispensing. The water in this tank requires 24 hours to chill after installation. High usage conditions will not allow time for the water to chill. After water dispenses, a few drops of water are normal. TRUE A few drops of water may fall from the dispenser, after the dispenser paddle has been released. To minimize the drops, remove the glass slowly from the dispenser. I will never see frost inside the freezer compartment. MYTH Frost inside the freezer typically indicates that the door is not properly sealed, or has been left open. If frost is found, clear the frost using a plastic spatula and towel, then check to ensure that no food packages or containers are preventing the freezer door from closing. Check the refrigerator control panel to ensure the door alarm is on. When the refrigerator is installed, or after replac- ing the water filter, I must dispense water for five minutes. TRUE A newly installed refrigerator or water filter contains air in the water lines. Press the dispenser paddle and dispense cold water for at least 5 minutes to remove air from the water line, and flush the filter. To fill the ice bucket to the maximum capacity, I should dispense 12 and 18 hours after installation. TRUE Dispensing 3-4 cubes 12 hours and 18 hours after installation, allows ice to disperse within the ice bucket, which in turns calls on the ice maker to produce additional ice. Normal ice production = 100 cubes in 24 hours. I can use the water filter bypass plug to determine if the filter requires replacement. TRUE Decrease in flow from the water dispenser, or decreased ice production, may indicate the need to replace the water filter. Install the water filter bypass plug (provided with the refrigerator on some models*), and check flow from the dispenser. If water flow returns to normal with the bypass plug in place, replace the water filter. The top of the refrigerator doors will always be aligned. MYTH Several things can affect the fresh food door alignment, including the floor the refrigerator is installed on and loading of doors. If the top of the fresh food doors are not aligned, use a 1/4” allen wrench to adjust the right/left hand door. The adjustment screw is located on the bottom right or left hand side of the door; open the freezer door to access the screw. Refrigerator door handles can be easily tightened. TRUE If door handles are loose or have a gap, the handle can be adjusted using a 1/8” allen wrench, on set screws located on the ends of the handles. There may be odor and taste problems with your ice. TRUE After starting the ice maker throw away 24 hours of ice production to avoid odor and taste problems. I can make fine adjustments to the fresh food doors to align them. TRUE If the fresh food doors are not aligned, use a 1/4” Allen wrench to adjust the right hand door. The adjustment screw is located on the bottom of the right/left hand door. Open the freezer door to access. Door handles should always be removed for installation. MYTH Check chart on reverse side of this instruction. If the doors must be removed do not remove the handles, or if the refrigerator will fit easily through the passage way opening. Adjust handles that are loose or have a gap, by adjusting 1/8” set screws on either end of handles. Before you call for service, review the detailed troubleshooting tips in the Owner’s manual.

MYTH Check chart on reverse side of this instruction. Doors should only be removed when necessary to prevent damage from passage way or access to final location. Refrigerator doors that won’t close after installation, can be adjusted to close properly.TRUE Door mechanism works best if installed at 90°+. If installed at 180°, remove the door from the mid hinge, and swing the door 180° before reinstalling. See Reinstalling the Refrigerator Doors.There is an adjustment to rear wheels. MYTH Front leveling legs are adjustable and should be used to balance the refrigerator. Leveling legs are used to make initial fresh food door adjustment. Check for leaks after all water connections are made. TRUE While purging the air from the water system, check all water line connections for leaks. Check the connection to the household water supply at back of refrigerator, and door water line connect.My LCD display will always be on when I plug the power cord in at installation.MYTH If the refrigerator has been stored in a cold environment, the LCD may be slow to give a proper display. Give the refrigerator enough time to warm up, and the display should be okay.Any packaging residue can be cleaned off the refrigerator using any cleaner.MYTH Do not use wax, polish, bleach, or other products containing chlorine on Stainless Steel panels, door handles and trim.
