What is Demand Response? Some utilities vary their electricity rates based on the time of day. Some utilities offer Demand Response programs to reduce energy usage during certain times of the day. Some utilities may do both things. This refrigerator has a Demand Response feature to help control energy usage. Using Demand Response without a Utility Program The Demand Response feature allows the user to shift high energy features, like defrost, for a 4-hour window. This window corresponds to the average peak energy usage. This feature is enabled or disabled with the SmartHQ and requires the SmartHQ to operate. It does not depend on the local utility, or whether it varies the electricity rates. Demand Response with your Utility If your utility has a compatible Demand Response program, and you are signed up with the utility, this refrigerator can modify its energy usage based on commands received from the utility. The SmartHQ can be used to override the Demand Response program, if desired. Please note that there are many different Demand Response programs, and many are not compatible with kitchen appliances. Please check with your local utility.The demand response level is displayed in the mobile app. Delay appliance load mode (DAL) reduces power consumption by delaying defrost and ice production for 4 hours. Temporary appliance load reduction (TALR) reduces the power consumption by delaying defrost, ice production, and stopping cooling for 10 minutes.Estimated energy consumption in Watt-hour(Wh) is reported in the mobile app. Installing Demand Response Install the SmartHQ per the instructions on the previous page. Select the Demand Response page, and choose from the available Demand Response options. The app provides more information on the operation of each Demand Response option. Demand Response Communication Protocols This refrigerator uses the following IETF open standard protocols for the WiFi communication.

Automatic Icemaker 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.The icemaker 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 icemaker is turned off. Once the water has been connected to the refrigerator, the icemaker may be turned on using the controls.You may hear a buzzing sound each time the icemaker fills with water.Allow 1-2 days for the bucket to completly fill with ice.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 icemaker 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 icemaker cycle multiple times when making one batch of ice. CAUTION 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. To turn the icemaker ON/OFF, press the Ice Maker button on the top control panel.

CONNECTING REFRIGERATOR TO THE HOUSE WATER LINE A cold water supply is required for automatic icemaker 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 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.1. 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 SmartConnect tubing, the nuts are already assembled to the tubing.2. 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 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.3. Fasten the tubing into the clamp provided to hold it in position. You may need to pry open the clamp. WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard.Attach tubing clamp using existing hole only. DO NOT drill into the refrigerator. WARNING Connect to potable water supply only. A cold water supply is required for automatic icemaker operation. The water pressure must be between 40 and 120 psi (275-827 kilopascals)SmartConnect

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. Ŷ 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.

DOORS Remember a level refrigerator is necessary for getting the doors perfectly even. If you need help, review the previous section on leveling the refrigerator. For 2 drawer models:

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. 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

Recommended copper water supply kits are WX8X2, WX8X3 or WX8X4, depending on the amount of tubing you need. Approved plastic water supply lines are SmartConnect

Refrigerator Tubing (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 (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 800.692.6630 and request WR17X33825 filter bypass plug. In Canada, call 800.561.3344. 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 the refrigerator is operated before the water connection is made to the icemaker, see Controls section on page 8 to turn icemaker off. Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas where temperatures fall below freezing. When using any electrical device (such as a power drill) during installation, be sure the device is 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.

INSTALLING THE WATER LINE

WARNING Connect to potable water supply only. A cold water supply is required for automatic icemaker operation. The water pressure must be between 40 and 120 psi (275-827 kilopascals)36 49-1000712 Rev. 4 WHAT YOU WILL NEED (Cont.) NOTE: The only Café approved plastic tubing is that supplied in 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 by visiting cafeappliances.com (in Canada, cafeappliances.ca).

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

• 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.

• If you are using a 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 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.

SHUT OFF THE MAIN WATER

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

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.

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.

Tighten the compression nut securely. For plastic tubing from a 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.

Tighten the clamp screws until the sealing washer begins to swell. NOTE: Do not over tighten or you may crush 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.

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 12 in Installing the Refrigerator.

HUMMM... WHOOSH... Ŷ 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.Ŷ <RXPD\KHDUDZKRRVKLQJVRXQGZKHQWKHGRRUVclose. This is due to pressure equalizing within the refrigerator.Ŷ $IWHUGLVSHQVLQJLFHDPRWRUZLOOFORVHWKHLFHFKXWHto 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 Ŷ You may hear cracking or popping sounds when the refrigerator is first plugged in. This happens as the refrigerator cools to the correct temperature.Ŷ The compressor may cause a clicking or chirping sound when attempting to restart (this could take up to 5 minutes).Ŷ Expansion and contraction of cooling coils during and after defrost can cause a cracking or popping sound.Ŷ On models with an icemaker, after an ice making cycle, you may hear the ice cubes dropping into the ice bucket.Ŷ 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 Ŷ The flow of refrigerant through the cooling coils may make a gurgling noise like boiling water.Ŷ Water dropping on the defrost heater can cause a sizzling, popping or buzzing sound during the defrost cycle.Ŷ A water dripping noise may occur during the defrost cycle as ice melts from the evaporator and flows into the drain pan.Ŷ Closing the door may cause a gurgling sound due to pressure equalization.Ŷ If the AutoFill pitcher is not full it fills automatically approximately 5 seconds after the door is closed. It is normal to hear water rushing for up to several minutes while the pitcher is filling. Do you hear what I hear? These conditions are normal.

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

My refrigerator door squeaks Diminished lubricant because of accidental cleaning of the lubricant on the hinge It is best to order GE Appliances lubricant service part number WR97X166 and apply on the hinge at specified location. It is possible to spray some non-toxic lubricant such as silicone based non- stick cooking spray, petroleum jelly or NSF approved food grade lubricants. IMPORTANT: Do not use WD-40 as it will remove any remaining grease in or around the hinge Improper leveling Make sure the unit is leveled If doors were removed and re- assembled during installation process, waterline and/harness under Top Hinge cover may get out of position and rub against door while door swivels. Remove the Top Hinge cover and make sure the waterline and harness that passes through the hinge pin has been properly seated and does not touch the any of the door parts during rotation. Applying some food grade lubricant around door thimble area will also help. Troubleshooting Tips... Before you call for service49-1000712 Rev. 4 41Truth or Myth? Answer ExplanationThe refrigerator water filter may require replacement, even though the filter indicator has not turned red, or reads “Filter Expired.”TRUE The water filter indicator will indicate the need to replace the water filter every six months. 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 Automatic Ice Maker section in the full owner’s manual available online.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.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 refrigerator door alignment, including the floor the refrigerator is installed on and loading of doors. If the top of the refrigerator 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. Refrigerator doors should be open during height adjustment. Open the freezer door to access the screw. See Step 15.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 refrigerator doors to align them. TRUE If the refrigerator 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 door. Open the freezer door to access. See step 15. Truth or Myth Truth or Myth SERVICE Save time and money! Review the charts on the following pages first and you may not need to schedule service.
