WARNING

GE JT3800DHBB - WARNING - 1

Explosion Hazard.

Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from refrigerator. Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion, or death.

CONNECTING ELECTRICITY

GE JT3800DHBB - CONNECTING ELECTRICITY - 1

WARNING

GE JT3800DHBB - WARNING - 1

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.

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 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 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.
    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. This happens occasionally when a few cubes have been left in 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.
The first glass of water dispensed may be warmer than the following ones. This is normal.
Dispensed water is not ice cold. For colder water, simply add crushed ice or cubes before dispensing water.

A newly-installed refrigerator may take 12-24 hours to begin making ice.

GE JT3800DHBB - Important Facts About Your Dispenser - 1

Automatic Icemaker (on some models)

When the refrigerator has been connected to the water supply, slide the power switch to the ON position.

The icemaker will fill with water when it cools to 15^ . When the bin fills to the level of the feeler arm, the icemaker will stop producing ice.

Be sure nothing interferes with the sweep of the feeler arm.

Throw away the first few batches of ice to allow the water line to clear.

The icemaker 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.

You will hear a buzzing sound each time the icemaker fills with water.

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.

CAUTION

Avoid contact with the

moving parts of the ejector mechanism, or with the heating element (located on the bottom of the ice maker) that releases the cubes. Do not place fingers or hands on the automatic ice making mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged in.

Icemaker Accessory Kit

If your refrigerator did not come already 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.

Water filter cartridge

The water filter cartridge is located in the back upper right corner of the refrigerator compartment.

When to replace the filter on models with a replacement indicator light

There is a replacement indicator light for the water filter cartridge on the dispenser. This light will turn orange to tell you that you need to replace the filter soon.

The filter cartridge should be replaced when the replacement indicator light turns red or if the flow of water to the dispenser or icemaker decreases.

When to replace the filter on models without a replacement indicator light

The filter cartridge should be replaced every six months or earlier if the flow of water to the dispenser or icemaker decreases.

Removing the filter cartridge

If you are replacing the cartridge, first remove the old one by slowly turning it to the left. Do not pull down on the cartridge. A small amount of water may drip down.

CAUTION: To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to water leakage, read and follow instructions before installation and use of this system. Installation and use MUST comply with all state and local plumbing codes.

Installing the filter cartridge

1 Fill the replacement cartridge with water from the tap to allow for better flow from the dispenser immediately after installation.
Line up the arrow on the cartridge and the cartridge holder. Place the top of the new cartridge up inside the holder. Do not push it up into the holder.
3 Slowly turn it to the right until the filter cartridge stops. DO NOT OVERIGHTEN. As you turn the cartridge, it will automatically raise itself into position. The cartridge will move about a 1/2 turn.
4 Run water from the dispenser for 1-1/2 gallons (about three minutes) to clear the system and prevent sputtering.
Press and hold the RESET WATER FILTER pad (on some models) on the dispenser for three seconds.

NOTE: A newly installed water filter cartridge may cause water to spurt from the dispenser.

Filter bypass plug

You must use the filter bypass plug when a replacement filter cartridge is not available. The dispenser and the icemaker will not operate without the filter or filter bypass plug.

GE JT3800DHBB - Filter bypass plug - 1

To use the filter bypass plug on Water by Culligan models, you must first remove the filter adaptor from the cartridge holder by turning it to the left.

WARNING

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 GE and Hotpoint® 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.gewaterfilters.com or call GE Parts and Accessories, 800.626.2002.

Customers in Canada should consult the yellow pages for the nearest Camco Service Center.

Care and cleaning of the refrigerator.

GE JT3800DHBB - Care and cleaning of the refrigerator. - 1

Cleaning the Outside

The dispenser drip area, (on some models) beneath the grille, should be wiped dry. Water left in this area 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 cradle (on some models). Before cleaning, lock the dispenser by pressing and holding the Lock pad for 3 seconds. Clean with warm water and baking soda solution—about a tablespoon (15ml) of baking soda to a quart (1l) of water. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry.

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.

The stainless steel doors and door handles (on some models) can be cleaned with a commercially available stainless steel cleaner. Cleaners with oxalic acid such as Bar Keepers Friend Soft CleanserTM will remove surface rust, tarnish and small blemishes. Use only a liquid cleanser free of grit and rub in the direction of the brush lines with a damp soft sponge. 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.

GE JT3800DHBB - Cleaning the Outside - 1

Cleaning the Inside

To help prevent odors, leave an open box of baking soda in the refrigerator 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 pan 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.

CAUTION

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.

Do not wash any plastic refrigerator parts in the dishwasher.

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).

Preparing for Vacation

For long vacations or absences, remove food and unplug the refrigerator. 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.

Slide the icemaker power switch to the OFF position and shut off the water supply to the refrigerator.

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.

Replacing the Light Bulbs

A WARNING

Before replacing a burned-out light bulb, the refrigerator should be unplugged in order to avoid contact with a burned-out light bulb may break when being replaced.)

Turning the control to the OFF position does not remove power to the light circuit.

Unplug the refrigerator.
2 Remove the shelf just below the light shield.
3 Replace with an appliance bulb of the same or lower wattage.
Reinstall the shelf and plug the refrigerator back in.

GE JT3800DHBB - ROLLERS - 1

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 GE Appliances water supply kit is available at extra cost from your dealer, by visiting our Website at GEAppliances.com (in Canada, at GEAppliances.ca), or from Parts and Accessories, 877.959.8688.

CLEARANCES

minutes Allow the following clearances for ease of installation, proper air circulation and plumbing and electrical connections.

  • Sides 1/8^ (4 mm) - Top 1" (25 mm) - Back 1" (25 mm) A door clearance of 3/4^ (19 mm) is needed for a 90^ door opening which provides better access to food storage area.

DOOR ALIGNMENT

After leveling, make sure that doors are even at the top.

To make the doors even, adjust the refrigerator door.

Using a 5 / 16^ socket wrench, turn the door adjusting screw to the right to raise the door, to the left to lower it. (A nylon plug, embedded in the threads of the pin, prevents the pin from turning unless a wrench is used.)
After one or two turns of the wrench, open and close the refrigerator compartment door and check the alignment at the top of the doors.

GE JT3800DHBB - DOOR ALIGNMENT - 1

INSTALLING THE WATER LINE

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 SmartConnect Refrigerator Tubing (WX08X10002, WX08X10006, WX08X10015 and WX08X10025).

When connecting your refrigerator to a GE Appliances Reverse Osmosis Water System, the only approved installation is with a GE Appliances RVKit. For other reverse osmosis water systems, follow the manufacturer's recommendations.

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 power switch is in the OFF position.

Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas where temperatures fall below freezing.

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

GE JT3800DHBB - BEFORE YOU BEGIN - 1

WARNING

Connect to potable water supply only.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED

Copper or GE SmartConnect 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:

2^(0.6m) - WX08X10002

8' (2.4 m) - WX08X10006

15' (4.6 m) - WX08X10015

25' (7.6 m) - WX08X10025

WHAT YOU WILL NEED (CONT.)

NOTE: The only GE Appliances 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 Appliances water supply kit (containing tubing, shutoff valve and fittings listed below) is available at extra cost from your dealer or from Parts and Accessories, 877.959.8688.
  • A 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.
  • 1 / 2'' or adjustable wrench.
  • Straight and Phillips blade screwdriver.

GE JT3800DHBB - WHAT YOU WILL NEED (CONT.) - 1

  • 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. OR
    If you are using a GE SmartConnectTM Refrigerator Tubing kit, the necessary fittings are preassembled to the tubing.

GE JT3800DHBB - WHAT YOU WILL NEED (CONT.) - 2

  • 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™ Refrigerator tubing.

GE JT3800DHBB - WHAT YOU WILL NEED (CONT.) - 3

  • 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. Install the shutoff valve on the nearest frequently used drinking water line.

1 SHUT OFF MAIN WATER SUPPLY

2 DRILL THE HOLE FOR THE VALVE

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.

GE JT3800DHBB - DRILL THE HOLE FOR THE VALVE - 1

3 FASTEN THE SHUTOFF VALVE

Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with the pipe clamp.

Tighten the clamp screws until the sealing washer begins to swell.

NOTE: Do not overtighten or you may crush the tubing.

GE JT3800DHBB - FASTEN THE SHUTOFF VALVE - 1

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.

4 ROUTE THE TUBING

Route the tubing between the cold water line and the refrigerator.

Route the tubing through a hole drilled in the wall or floor (behind the refrigerator or adjacent base cabinet) as close to the wall as possible. NOTE: Be sure there is sufficient extra tubing to allow the refrigerator to move out from the wall after installation.

5 CONNECT THE TUBING TO THE VALVE

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 SmartConnectTM 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. Overtightening may cause leaks.

GE JT3800DHBB - CONNECT THE TUBING TO THE VALVE - 1

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.

6 FLUSH OUT THE TUBING

Turn the main water supply on and flush out the tubing until the water is clear.

GE JT3800DHBB - FLUSH OUT THE TUBING - 1

7 CONNECT THE TUBING TO THE REFRIGERATOR

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 a GE SmartConnect™ Refrigerator Tubing kit, you will need an additional tube (WX08X10002) to connect the filter. Do not cut plastic tube to install filter.

7 CONNECT THE TUBING TO THE REFRIGERATOR (CONT.)

Some models have the refrigerator connection at the end of tubing located outside the compressor compartment access cover. On other models, the compressor compartment access cover must be removed in order to access the refrigerator connection at the water valve.

GE JT3800DHBB - CONNECT THE TUBING TO THE REFRIGERATOR (CONT.) - 1

On models using the refrigeration connection at the water valve, remove the plastic flexible cap.

GE JT3800DHBB - CONNECT THE TUBING TO THE REFRIGERATOR (CONT.) - 2

Place the compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) onto the end of the tubing as shown. On a GE SmartConnect Refrigerator Tubing kit, the nuts are already assembled to the tubing.

Insert the end of the tubing into the refrigerator connection as far as possible. While holding the tubing, tighten the fitting.

For plastic tubing from a GE SmartConnect Refrigerator Tubing kit, insert the molded end of the tubing into the refrigerator connection and tighten the compression nut until it is hand tight, then tighten one additional turn with a wrench. Overtightening may cause leaks.

Fasten the tubing into the clamp provided as shown to keep it in position. You may need to pry open the clamp.

9 PLUG IN THE REFRIGERATOR

Arrange the coil of tubing so that it does not vibrate against the back of the refrigerator or against the wall. Push the refrigerator back to the wall.

10 START THE ICEMAKER

Slide the icemaker power switch to the ON position. The icemaker will not begin to operate until it reaches its operating temperature of 15^(-9^) or below. It will then begin operation automatically if the icemaker power switch is in the ON position.

GE JT3800DHBB - START THE ICEMAKER - 1

Normal operating sounds.

GE JT3800DHBB - Normal operating sounds. - 1

Newer refrigerators sound different from older refrigerators. Modern refrigerators have more features and use newer technology.

Do you hear what I hear? These sounds are normal.

HUMMM…Whoosh…WHIR!
■ 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.■ Sometimes the refrigerator runs for an extended period, especially when the doors are opened frequently. This means that the Frost GuardTM feature is working to prevent freezer burn and improve food preservation.■ You may hear a whooshing sound when the doors close. This is due to pressure equalizing within the refrigerator.■ 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.■ If either door is open for over 3 minutes, you may hear the fans come on in order to cool the light bulbs.■ The fans change speeds in order to provide optimal cooling and energy savings.
CLICKS, POPS, CRACKS and CHIRPS■ You may hear cracking or popping sounds when the refrigerator is first plugged in. This happens as the refrigerator cools to the correct temperature.■ Electronic dampers click open and closed to provide optimal cooling and energy savings.■ The compressor may cause a clicking or chirping sound when attempting to restart (this could take up to 5 minutes).■ The electronic control board may cause a clicking sound when relays activate to control refrigerator components.■ Expansion and contraction of cooling coils during and after defrost can cause a cracking or popping sound.■ On models with an icemaker, after an icemaking cycle, you may hear the ice cubes dropping into the ice bucket.WATER SOUNDS
