It may not crush or dispense.Ŷ Avoid overfilling glass with ice and use of narrow glasses. Backed-up ice can jam the chute or cause the GRRULQWKHFKXWHWRIUHH]HVKXW,ILFHLVEORFNLQJWKHchute remove the ice bucket, poke it through with a wooden spoon.Ŷ Beverages and foods should not be quick-chilled in the door icemaker bin. Cans, bottles or food packages in the storage drawer may cause the icemaker or auger to jam.Ŷ To keep dispensed ice from missing the glass, put the glass close to, but not touching, the dispenser opening.Ŷ Some crushed ice may be dispensed even though you selected CUBED. This happens occasionally when a few cubes accidentally get directed to the crusher.Ŷ After crushed ice is dispensed, some water may drip from the chute.Ŷ 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.Water & Ice Dispenser(See About the controls with temperature settings & About the control features) WARNING Laceration HazardŶ Never put fingers or any other object into ice crusher discharge opening.

If your refrigerator has a Conneted Appliance Information label, then it can be connected to your WiFi network, allowing it to communicate with your mobile device for remote monitoring, control and notifications. Please visit GEAppliances.com/connect to learn more about connected appliance features and learn what connected appliance apps work with your mobile device.49-1000329 Rev. 6 13 Demand Response (some models) USING THE REFRIGERATOR: Demand Response 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 Café Appliances app and requires the Café Appliances app 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 Café Appliances app 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 Café Appliances app 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.

When to Replace the Filter Cartridge The Replace Water Filter message on the control panel will illuminate when the water filter cartridge needs to be replaced soon. The Water Filter Expired message will illuminate when the water filter cartridge needs to be replaced. The water filter can be replaced earlier if the flow of water to the dispenser or icemaker decreases. Once either message is illuminated, dispensing water will show Confirm Filter Change; do not confirm until the water filter is replaced
If you are replacing the filter, first remove the previous one by gently grasping the filter and slowly turning it to the left, about a ¼ turn. The filter should automatically release itself when you have rotated it far enough to the left. A small amount of water may drip down.

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 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.

Answer ExplanationThe refrigerator water filter may require replacement, even though the filter indicator KDVQRWWXUQHGUHGRUUHDGV³)LOWHU([SLUHG´758( 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.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.758( A few drops of water may fall from the dispenser, after the dispenser SDGGOHKDVEHHQUHOHDVHG7RPLQLPL]HWKHGURSVUHPRYHWKHJODVVslowly from the dispenser.,ZLOOQHYHUVHHIURVWLQVLGHWKHIUHH]HUcompartment.MYTH )URVWLQVLGHWKHIUHH]HUW\SLFDOO\LQGLFDWHVWKDWWKHGRRULVQRWproperly sealed, or has been left open.

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. 758( 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.758( 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.758( 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.
