Important Facts About Your Dispenser

■ Do not add ice from trays or bags to the 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 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 icemaker or auger to jam.
■ To keep dispensed ice from missing the glass, put the glass close to, but not touching, the dispenser opening.

■storSpene crushed ice may be dispensed even though you selected CUBED ICE. This happens occasionally when a few cubes accidentally get directed to the crusher.
is Afterkingshed 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

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 (15 ml) of baking soda to a quart (1 l) of water. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry.

INSTALLING THE WATER LINE (icemaker & 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 Universal Water Line Refrigerator Tubing (WX08X10006, WX08X10015 and WX08X10025).

When connecting your refrigerator to a 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 Reverse Osmosis Water Filtration System AND the refrigerator also has a water filter, use the refrigerator's filter bypass plug. To order the bypass plug, see the Water Filter Cartridge set 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 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 water line, make sure the icemaker power switch is in the OFF position.

Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas 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 Universal Water Line Refrigerator Tubing kit, 1/4" outer diameter to connect the refrigerator to the water supply. If using copper 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.

Universal Water Line Refrigerator Tubing Kits available in the following lengths:

8' (2.8 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 Universal Water Line Refrigerator Tubing kits. Do not use any other 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 (in Canada 1.800.661.1616).

- A cold water supply. The water pressure must be between 20 and 120 p.s.i. (138-827 kPa).

- 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 Universal Water Line Tubing kit, the necessary fittings are preassembled to the tubing.

- If your existing copper water line has a flar 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 Universal Line 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 use drinking water line.

① SHUT OFF THE MAIN WATER astic 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 a vertical water pipe. When it is necessary to connect into a horizontal water pipe, make connection to the top or side, rather than at the bottom, to avoid drawing off any sediment from the water pipe.

RefringeBato DRILL THE HOLE FOR THE VALVE

Drill a 1/4" hole in the water pipe (ever a self-piercing valve), using a sharp bit. Remove fitting by burrs resulting from drilling the hole in the pipe.

Take care not to allow water to drain into the drill.

Newer refrigerators sound different from older refrigerators.

Modern refrigerators have more features and use newer technology.

Do you hear what I hear? These conditions 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 close. This is due to pressure equalizing within refrigerator.

WHIR!

■ 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 doors near the fans come on in order to cool the light the bulbs.
■ The fans change speeds in order to provide optimal cooling and energy savings.

CLICKS, POPS, CRACKS and SNAPS

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

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