REFRIGERATOR SAFETY INFORMATION

This is the safety alert symbol. This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others. All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and the word "DANGER", "WARNING", or "CAUTION". These words are defined as:

DANGER

Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.

WARNING

Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

CAUTION

Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, explosion, electric shock, or 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.

CAUTION

To reduce the risk of injury when using your refrigerator, follow these basic safety precautions.

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.

SAFETY (CONT.)

INSTALLATION

WARNING

Explosion Hazard.

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

WARNING

er Hazard.

Built-in style models (model PYE, CYE, GYE, DYE, PWE, CWE, and ZWE) are top heavy, especially with any doors open. These models must be secured with the anti-tip floor bracket to prevent tipping forward, which could result in death or serious injury. Read and follow the entire installation instructions for installing the anti-tip floor bracket packed with your refrigerator.

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.

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.

SAFETY

HOT WATER DISPENSER

WARNING

Scalding Hazard.

The hot water dispenser is capable of heating water to a temperature of approximately 185^ F ( 85^ C). Water temperatures above 125^ F ( 52^ C) can cause severe burns or death from scalding. Children, the disabled, and the elderly are at highest risk of being scalded.

Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner's Manual. To reduce the risk of severe burns, scald injuries, or death when using your hot water dispenser, the instructions below must be followed:

• Do not permit children to use the hot water dispenser.
  The water coming from the dispenser is very hot. Use extreme caution when dispensing and drinking water. Allow water to cool to a drinkable temperature before drinking.
• When dispensing water below 125°F, always test the temperature of the water before drinking.
  When dispensing hot water, the container can become very hot. Use a temperature insulating container, such as ceramic or foam. Using container materials such as paper or plastic may result in a burn while holding the cup. Do not use glass containers, as thermal shock can cause the container to break and may result in scalding or lacerations.
• Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality.
• Your container should be close to the dispensing point to minimize the splashing of hot water.
  A newly installed water filter cartridge will cause water to spurt from the dispenser. Run 2 gallons of water through the cold water dispenser (about 5 minutes) to remove air from the system. Until this air is removed from the system

through the cold water dispenser, DO NOT use the hot water dispenser as it may result in spurting of hot water and lead to hot water scalding.

The first time the hot water feature is used, confirm if you live above 5000 feet (high altitude). This limits the temperature of the hot water system to avoid boiling. To access the high altitude selection, press Fridge and Door Alarm and control will cycle from Hi AL to Lo AL (high altitude to low altitude).
The hot water dispenser is designed to only dispense water. Do not attempt to heat or dispense anything other than water. Do not attempt to disassemble or clean the tank.
The hot water dispensing tank is a non-pressurized tank, with a vent on the tank and a dispenser tube outlet. Do not modify the system, close or block the dispense tube, or connect any other type of device to the tank or dispense tube. Doing so may lead to rupture of the tank and hot water scalding.

PROPER DISPOSAL OF YOUR OLD REFRIGERATOR

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.

IMPORTANT:

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.

READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

WARNING

Laceration Hazard

■ Never put fingers or any other object into ice crusher discharge opening. Doing so can result in contacting the ice crushing blades and lead to serious injury or amputation
Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice. A delicate glass may break and result in personal injury.

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 and B Only)

■ Pull Dispenser Tray out until it stops.
- Locate tab in the center on the bottom and push up.
■ Pull Dispenser Tray assembly out.
■ Lift Dispenser Tray out at center notch to clean.

To remove Dispenser Tray (Type C Only)

- Grasp Dispenser Tray and pull firmly until it comes out.

To reinstall Dispenser Tray (Type A and B Only)

• Place the Dispenser Tray cover on top of catch tray and position under the two plastic retainers on either side.
  ■ Center Dispenser tray, and align with center guides.
  ■ Push in until it locks firmly in place.

To reinstall Dispenser Tray (Type C Only)

Line up the guide on tray bottom with track on dispenser and slide it in until it stops against the back of the dispenser.

Important Facts About Your Dispenser

• 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.

To Use the Internal Water Dispenser\*

Important Facts about AUTOFILL

• For optimum results, use a uniform container between 4-8" tall and 2-6" wide.
• Fill level and functionality may vary on containers taller than 8" or wider than 6".
• Container volumes may vary, if error message "Not Found" is given, try a different container.
• AUTOFILL will time out.
• Handles, straws, and garnishes on the rim of the container my cause overfilling or variation in fill volumes.
• Splashing may occur depending on the location of the container, water flow rate, container shape, and ice cubes.
• Keep sensors clean with a clean damp cloth, and do not spray liquid or cleaners directly on sensors
• AUTOFILL works best with household water pressure of 60 to 100 psi.
• Ice in container may affect fill volume. If issues are experienced, use less ice.

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

Ice maker Feeler Arm

Automatic Ice Maker\*

The ice maker 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.

The ice maker will fill with water when it cools to 15^ F ( -10^ C). A newly installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24 hours to begin making ice cubes. If the refrigerator is operated before the water line connection is made to the unit or if the water supply to an operating refrigerator is turned off, make sure that the ice maker is turned off. Once the water has been connected to the refrigerator, the ice maker may be turned on. See the table below for details.

You may hear a buzzing sound each time the ice maker fills with water.

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 ice maker 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 ice maker cycle multiple times when making one batch of ice.

WARNING

To minimize the risk of personal injury, 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.

Care and cleaning of the refrigerator.

Cleaning the Outside

The stainless steel panels, door handles and trim.

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 Cleanser™ 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.

Silver-accented plastic parts.

Wash parts with soap or other mild detergents. Wipe clean with a sponge, damp cloth or paper towel.

Do not use scouring pads, powdered cleaners, bleach or cleaners containing bleach because these products can scratch and weaken the paint finish. Do not wash tray in the dishwasher.

Should metal spill tray need cleaning use lime remover.

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 an appliance wax polish on the inside surface between the doors.

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.

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.

Raise the leveling legs located at the bottom front of 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.

Lower the leveling legs until they touch the floor.

When pushing the refrigerator back, make sure you don't roll over the power cord or water supply line.

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 liter) of water. Leave the doors open.

If the temperature can drop below freezing, have a qualified service technician drain the water supply system to prevent serious property damage due to flooding.

1) Turn refrigerator off (pg. 9) or unplug the refrigerator.
2) Empty ice bucket
3) Turn water supply off

If you cut the water supply off, turn off the ice maker (pg. 21).

Upon returning from vacation:

1) Replace the water filter.
2) Run 2 gallons of water through the cold water dispenser (about 5 minutes) to flush the system.

Preparing to Move

Secure all loose items such as shelves and drawers by taping them securely in place to prevent damage.

When using a hand truck to move the refrigerator, do not rest the front or back of the refrigerator against the hand truck. This could damage the refrigerator.

Handle only from the sides of the refrigerator.

Be sure the refrigerator stays in an upright position during moving.

If not, carefully rock the refrigerator forward and backward until engagement occurs and you notice that the refrigerator is fully pushed up against the rear wall.
☐ If Applicable: Adjust the rear (and front) wheel height settings to fully engage the rear anti-tip brackets, while also aligning the refrigerator front with the cabinet front face.

NOTE:

If you pull the refrigerator out and away from the wall for any reason, make sure the anti-tip floor bracket is engaged when the refrigerator is pushed back against the rear wall.

INSTALLING THE REFRIGERATOR (cont.)

11 CONNECTING THEREFRIGERATOR TO THE HOUSE WATER LINE

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.

A 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.

B 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.

C Fasten the tubing into the clamp provided to hold it in position. You may need to pry open the clamp.

14 LEVEL THE REFRIGERATOR

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.

A Turn the leveling legs clockwise to raise the refrigerator, counterclockwise to lower it.

Flat-Head Screwdrive Raise

NOTICE: To avoid possible property damage, the leveling legs must be firmly touching the floor.

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 (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.

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.

If the refrigerator is operated before the water connection is made to the ice maker, see Controls section on page 9 to turn 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.

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:

8' (2.4 m) - WX08X10006

15' (4.6 m) - WX08X10015

25' (7.6 m) - WX08X10025

WHAT YOU WILL NEED (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 1.800.661.1616).
• A cold water supply. The water pressure must be between 20 and 120 p.s.i. (1.4–8.1 bar).

• Power drill.
• 1/2" or adjustable wrench.
• Straight and Phillips blade screwdriver.

• 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 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™ Refrigerator tubing.

- 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 THE MAIN WATER SUPPLY

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

2 CHOOSE THE VALVE LOCATION

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.

3 DRILL THE HOLE FOR THE VALVE

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.

FASTEN THE SHUTOFF VALVE

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

Pipe Clamp Saddle-Type Shutoff Valve Vertical Cold Water Pipe

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.

TIGHTEN THE PIPE CLAMP

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

NOTE: Do not over tighten or you may crush the tubing.

Pipe Clamp Clamp Screw Washer Inlet End

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.

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 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.

FLUSH OUT THE TUBING

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

Shut the water off at the water valve after about one quart (1 liter or 2 minutes) of water has been flushed through the tubing.

To complete the installation of the refrigerator, go back to Step 11 in Installing the Refrigerator.

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...

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 warm 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.

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.
  The compressor may cause a clicking or chirping sound when attempting to restart (this could take up to 5 minutes).
  ■ 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.
  After dispensing ice, a motor will close the ice chute to keep warm room air from entering the ice bucket, maintaining ice at a freezing temperature.

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.

START UP COOLING

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

Freezercoolsfirst.
■ Refrigerator compartment cools last; it may take several hours after the freezer.
■ Turning off ice maker makes both fresh food and freezer cool faster.

Truth or Myth

Truth or Myth? 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 into 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 replacing 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), 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 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.

Truth or Myth (cont.)

Truth or Myth? Answer Explanation
Door removal is always required for installation.	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	TRUE	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.
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. Check this instruction under “Cleaning the Outside” for full details.

NOTICE

To reduce the risk of water leakage or flooding, and to ensure optimal filter performance:

- Read and follow use instructions before installation and use of this system.

• Installation and use MUST comply with all state and local plumbing codes.

• Do not install if water pressure exceeds 120 psi (827 kPa). If your water pressure exceeds 80 psi, you must install a pressure-limiting valve. Contact a plumbing professional if you are uncertain how to check your water pressure.
• Do not install where water hammer conditions may occur. If water hammer conditions exist you must install a water hammer arrester. Contact a plumbing professional if you are uncertain how to check for this condition.
• Do not install on hot water supply lines. The maximum operating water temperature of this filter system is 100^ (38°C).
• Protect filter from freezing. Drain filter when temperatures drop below 33°F (0.6°C).
• Change the disposable filter cartridge every six months or sooner if you observe a noticeable reduction in water flow rate.
• Failure to replace the disposable filter cartridge at recommended intervals may lead to reduced filter performance and cracks in the filter housing, causing water leakage or flooding.
