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 ice makers, avoid contact with the moving parts of the ejector mechanism, or with the heating element located on the bottom of the ice maker. 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.
    Non-LCD models: Setting either or both controls to 0 (off) does not remove power to the light circuit.
  • LCD models: Turning the cooling system off does not remove power to the light circuit.
  • Do not refreeze frozen foods which have thawed completely.
    ■ Always clean the CustomCool™ Tray after thawing food.

⚠ DANGER! RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT

PROPER DISPOSAL OF THE REFRIGERATOR

Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still dangerous...even if they will sit for "just a few days." If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator, please follow the instructions below to help prevent accidents.

Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigerator or Freezer:

Take off the doors.
Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.

Refrigerants

All refrigeration products contain refrigerants, which under federal law must be removed prior to product disposal. If you are getting rid of an old refrigeration product, check with the company handling the disposal about what to do.

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.

⚠ 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.

READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

Touch-LED Dispenser Control

NOTE: The refrigerator is shipped with protective film covering the temperature controls. If this film was not removed during installation, remove it now.

The temperature controls are preset in the factory at 37^ F ( 3^ C) for the refrigerator compartment and 0^ F (-18°C) for the freezer compartment. Allow 24 hours for the temperature to stabilize to the preset recommended settings.

Refrigerator temperatures can be adjusted between 34°F and 46°F (1°C to 8°C), and the freezer temperatures can be adjusted between -6°F and +8°F (-21°C to -13°C).

To change the Refrigerator temperature: Tactile-LED Dispenser Control

The temperature controls can display both the SET temperature as well as the actual temperature in the refrigerator and freezer. The actual temperature may vary slightly from the SET temperature based on usage and operating environment.

On some models, setting both controls to the warmest setting until the display flashes (off) will stop cooling in both the freezer and refrigerator compartments.
On other models, setting either control to the warmest setting until the display flashes (off) will stop the cooling to the freezer and refrigerator.
NOTE: Turning the refrigerator off via the controls on the touch panel does not shut off electrical power to the refrigerator.

NOTE: The refrigerator is shipped with protective film covering the temperature controls. If this film was not removed during installation, remove it now.

Touch-LED Dispenser Control:

To change the temperature, press and release the FREEZER TEMP/FRIDGE TEMP pad. The SET light will come on and the display will show the set temperature. To change the temperature, tap either the ∧ or ∨ pad until the desired temperature is displayed.

Performance Air Flow System

The Performance Air-Flow System is designed to maximize temperature control in the refrigerator and freezer compartments. This unique special feature consists of the Air Tower along the back wall of the refrigerator and the Air Tunnel on the bottom portion of the freezer rear wall. Placing food in front of the louvers on these components will not affect performance. Although the Air Tower and the Air Tunnel can be removed, doing so will affect temperature performance. (For removal instructions, on-line, contact us at ge.com or call 800.GE.CARES. In Canada, contact us at geappliances.ca or call 1.800.561.3344.)

About TurboCool. ^TM

TurboCool

OR
GE Profile PSS28KSHSS - About TurboCool. ^TM - 2

natural_image Simple icon of a snowflake with radiating lines inside a circle (no text or symbols)

How it Works

TurboCool™ rapidly cools the refrigerator compartment in order to more quickly cool foods. Use TurboCool™ when adding a large amount of food to the refrigerator compartment, putting away foods after they have been sitting out at room temperature or when putting away warm leftovers. It can also be used if the refrigerator has been without power for an extended period.

Once activated, the compressor will turn on immediately and the fans will cycle on and off at high speed as needed for eight hours. The compressor will continue to run until the refrigerator compartment cools to approximately 34°F (1°C), then it will cycle on and off to maintain this setting. After 8 hours, or if TurboCool™ is pressed again, the refrigerator compartment will return to the original setting.

How to Use

About ClimateKeeper2. ^™ (on some models)

GE Profile PSS28KSHSS - About ClimateKeeper2. ^™ (on some models) - 1

natural_image Diagram of a refrigerator interior showing internal airflow patterns (no text or symbols)

How it Works

The ClimateKeeper2™ is the industry's most advanced refrigeration system, delivering optimum temperature and humidity performance to keep food garden fresh longer and reduce freezer burn.

The ClimateKeeper2™ system features two evaporators—one for the refrigerator and one for the freezer.

This provides two separate cooling systems, and separates the airflow between the fresh food and freezer compartments during normal cooling operations.*

This ensures that the humidity levels in the fresh food compartment are significantly higher than in a conventional system, ^** allowing fresh produce and other unsealed foods to retain their moisture content and freshness longer. Moisture sensitive foods such as fresh fruit, salads, rice, etc., can now be stored on open shelves without excessive moisture loss.

Due to the higher humidity in the refrigerator, you may on occasion experience fog or small amounts of moisture in the refrigerator compartment. This is normal and may come and go as different food loads and environmental conditions change. Wipe dry with a paper towel if desired.

The separate airflow system minimizes the mixing of air between the two compartments, which reduces fresh food odor transfer to improve the taste of ice.

The ClimateKeeper2" system also reduces the number of defrosting cycles in the freezer evaporator, thereby reducing freezer burn.

* Freezer air is used in the CustomCool feature.

** Testing shows a higher level of humidity in the Fresh Food section in ClimateKeeper2™ refrigerators versus conventional units.

Touch LED Dispenser Control How it Works The CustomCool™ feature is used to quickly chill items, thaw items or hold the pan at a specific temperature. This feature is a system of dampers, a fan, a temperature thermistor and a heater. The pan is tightly sealed to prevent temperat fluctuations in the rest of the refrigerator. The controls for this pan are located on the dispenser with the temperature controls.

2 Touch LED Dispenser Control:

Select the ExpressThaw™, ExpressChill™ or SelectTemp™ pad. The display and SET light will come on. Tap the pad until the light appears next to the desired setting. Use the following chart to determine the best setting to use.

ExpressChill can be set to 15, 30 or 45 minutes. The default is 15 minutes.
To stop a feature before it is finished: tap that feature's pad until no options are selected and the display is off.

During ExpressThaw and ExpressChill, the display on the controls will count down the time in the cycle (on some models).
After the ExpressThaw cycle is complete, the pan will reset to the MEAT setting (32°F [0°C]) to help preserve thawed items until they are used.
The displayed actual temperature of the CustomCool pan may vary slightly from the SET temperature based on usage and operating environment.

NOTE: For food safety reasons, it is recommended that foods be wrapped in plastic wrap when using ExpressThaw. This will help contain meat juices and improve thawing performance.

GE Profile PSS28KSHSS - About crisper removal. - 1

natural_image Technical line drawing of a mechanical component with an arrow indicating direction (no text or symbols)

Crisper Removal

Crispers can easily be removed by pulling the drawer straight out and lifting the drawer up and over the stop location.

If the door prevents you from taking out the drawers, first try to remove the door bins. If this does not offer enough clearance, the refrigerator will need to be rolled forward until the door opens enough to slide the drawers out. In some cases, when you roll the refrigerator out, you will need to move the refrigerator to the left or right as you roll it out.

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

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.

If the refrigerator is operated before the water connection is made to the ice maker, set the power switch in the OFF position.

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

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.

You will 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.

Special note about dispenser models:

Some models have a tilt-out ice bin. The bin can be tilted out as shown in the illustrations, and it will hold itself up while you take ice out or turn the ice maker power switch on and off. Be sure to put the bin back in place before closing the door.
■ To restore your ice level from an empty bucket stage, the following steps are recommended:

12 hours after the first batch of ice has fallen into the bin, dispense 3 to 4 cubes.

2 After an additional 6 hours, dispense 3 to 4 cubes again.

These steps will restore your ice level in the shortest amount of time.

The display will show the amount that has been dispensed for 5 seconds. If the cup switch is pressed again within that time, the dispenser will continue up to the set amount. If not, the display will return to the set amount.

Important Facts About Your Dispenser

  • Do not add ice from trays or bags to the storage drawer. 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 drawer. 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. 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.

Care and cleaning of the refrigerator.

GE Profile PSS28KSHSS - Care and cleaning of the refrigerator. - 1
Dispenser drip area.

Cleaning the Outside

The dispenser drip area, 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. Before cleaning, lock the dispenser by pressing and holding the LOCK or LOCK CONTROLS pad for 3 seconds. Clean with warm water and baking soda solution—about a tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda to a quart (1 liter) 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.

The stainless steel panels and door handles (on some models) can be cleaned with a commercially available stainless steel cleaner. A spray-on stainless steel cleaner works best.

Do not use appliance wax or polish on the stainless steel.

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.

Cleaning the Inside

To help prevent odors, leave an open box of baking soda in the fresh food and freezer compartments.

Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning.

If this is not practical, wring excess moisture out of sponge or cloth when cleaning around switches, lights or controls.

Use warm water and baking soda solution—about a tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda to a quart (1 liter) of water. This both cleans and neutralizes odors. Rinse and wipe dry.

Use of any cleaning solution other than that which is recommended, especially those that contain petroleum distillates, can crack or damage the interior of the refrigerator.

Avoid cleaning cold glass shelves 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.

The chill/thaw tray is dishwasher safe.

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 ice maker 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.

Set the ice maker power switch to the O (off) 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 to prevent serious property damage due to flooding.

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.

Replacing the light bulbs.(on some models)

1 CONNECTING THE REFRIGERATOR TO THE HOUSE WATER LINE (ice maker and dispenser models)

A cold water supply is required for automatic ice maker and dispenser 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.

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. Overtightening may cause leaks.

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

NOTE:

In lower water pressure conditions, the water valve may turn on up to 3 times to deliver enough water to the ice maker.

INSTALLING THE WATER LINE (ICE MAKER & DISPENSER MODELS)

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 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 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 you use your refrigerator before connecting the water line, make sure the ice maker power switch is in the O (off) position.

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

GE Profile PSS28KSHSS - WHAT YOU WILL NEED - 1

• 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:

6¢ (1.8 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 1.888.261.3055).
  • A cold water supply. The water pressure must be between 20 and 120 p.s.i. (1.4–8.1 bar).

- 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.

GE Profile PSS28KSHSS - WHAT YOU WILL NEED (CONT.) - 3

- 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 Profile PSS28KSHSS - WHAT YOU WILL NEED (CONT.) - 4

- 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.

GE Profile PSS28KSHSS - CHOOSE THE VALVE LOCATION - 1

natural_image Simple line drawing of a curved object with an arrow pointing to it (no text or symbols)

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.

Plumbing Codes 248CMR shall be adhered to. Saddle valves are illegal and use is not permitted in Massachusetts. Consult with your licensed plumber.

5 TIGHTEN THE PIPE CLAMP

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

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

Pipe Clamp Clamp Screw Washer Inlet End

6 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.

7 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. Overtightening may cause leaks.

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.
Sometimes the refrigerator runs for an extended period, especially when the doors are opened frequently. This means that the Frost Guard™ 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.

WHIR!

GE Profile PSS28KSHSS - WHIR! - 1

  • 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.
  • You may hear the fans running after selecting QuickFreeze™ or one of the CustomCool™ settings.

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 ice maker, after an icemaking cycle, you may hear the ice cubes dropping into the ice bucket.

WATER SOUNDS

GE Profile PSS28KSHSS - WATER SOUNDS - 1

The flow of refrigerant through the freezer 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.

GE Profile PSS28KSHSS - WATER SOUNDS - 2

  • Note that while the testing was performed under standard laboratory conditions, actual performance may vary. Systems must be installed and operated in accordance with manufacturer's recommended procedures and guidelines.
  • Installation and use MUST comply with all state and local plumbing codes. Do not install if water pressure exceeds 120 psi. If your water pressure exceeds 80 psi (552 kPa), you should 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.
  • Where a backflow prevention device is installed on a water system, a device for controlling pressure due to thermal expansion must be installed.

For conditions of use, health claims certified by the California Department of Public Health, and replacements, see performance data sheet. California Department of Public Health Certification #06-1834. The contaminants or other substances removed or reduced by this water filter are not necessarily in all users' water.

The Performance Air-Flow System is designed to maximize temperature control in the refrigerator and freezer compartments. This unique special feature consists of the Air Tower along the back wall of the refrigerator and the Air Tunnel on the bottom portion of the freezer rear wall. Placing food in front of the louvers on these components will not affect performance. Although the Air Tower and the Air Tunnel can be removed, doing so will affect temperature performance. (For removal instructions, on-line, contact us at ge.com or call 800.GE.CARES. In Canada, contact us at geappliances.ca or call 1.800.561.3344.)
