CONNECTING ELECTRICITY

WARNING

LECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet

Do not remove the ground prong

Do not use an adapter

Do not use an extension cord.

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.

Immediately discontinue use of a damaged supply cord. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a qualified service professional with an authorized service part from the manufacturer.

When moving the refrigerator away from the wall, be careful not to roll over or damage the power cord.

Water & Ice Dispenser (See About the controls with temperature settings & About the control features)

Important Facts About Your Dispenser

■ Do not add ice from trays or bags to the door icemaker 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 icemaker bin. Cans, bottles or food packages in the storage drawer may cause the icemaker or auger to jam.

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 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.

AutoFill

To Use HANDS FREE AutoFill:

■ Center container on Recess Dispenser Tray as far back as possible without activating paddle and remove hand from container

■ Press AutoFill.

To Stop AutoFill

■ Press ANY key, including AutoFill, to stop.

Important Facts about AutoFill

■ For optimum results, use a uniform container between 4-8" (10-20 cm) tall and 2-6" (5-15 cm) wide.
■ Fill level and functionality may vary on containers taller than 8" (20 cm) or wider than 6" (15 cm).
- Container volumes may vary. If "ERROR" message 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 (414 to 689 kPa).
  ■ Ice in container may affect fill volume. If issues are experienced, use less ice.

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. Consult the online user manual for the latest protocol updates:

Automatic Icemaker

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

⚠ 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).

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.

To fill the bucket to maximum capacity after installation, dispense 3-4 cubes at 12 hours and 18 hours. Allow 1-2 days for the bucket to completely 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 norm 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, use the Settings button to navigate to the Icemaker selection. w

Ice Bucket and Dispenser

• Open the ice box door on inside of the left door.
• Pull up and out on the ice bucket in the left hand door to remove it from the compartment.
• To replace the ice bucket, set it on the guide brackets and push until the ice bucket seats properly.

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.

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard.

Attach tubing clamp using existing hole only. DO NOT drill into the refrigerator.

1. 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.

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

WARNING

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 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 9 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.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED

- Copper or 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.

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

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)

INSTALLING THE WATER LINE (Cont.)

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).

- 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 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™ 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.

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.

5 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.

Washer Pipe Clamp Inlet End Clamp Screw

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.

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 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.

Normal Operating Conditions.

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.
■ 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 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.

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 icemaker, 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.

START UP COOLING

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.

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.
■ The fans change speeds in order to provide optimal cooling and energy savings.

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.

Truth or Myth

Truth or Myth? Answer Explanation
The 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.
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 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.

Save time and money! Review the charts on the following pages first and you may not need to schedule service.

Truth or Myth

Truth or Myth? Answer Explanation
Door handles should always be removed for installation.	MYTH Check chart on	reverse side of this instruction. 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.
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 will self-close if left open.	MYTH Refrigerator doors need to be closed by consumer.A gentle bounce back is a designed feature on some models that gives a positive feedback to the user so that they can initiate and complete the door closing action.
There is an adjustment to rear wheels. MYTH Front leveling legs are adjustable and should be used to balance the refrigerator. Leveling legs are used to make initial refrigerator door adjustment.
Check for leaks after all water connections are made.	TRUE While purging the air from the water system, check all water line connections for leaks. Check the connection to the household water supply at back of refrigerator, and door water line connect.
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.

WARNING

To reduce the risk associated with ingestion of contaminants:

- Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before and after the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used on disinfected water that may contain filterable cysts.

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 (552 kPa), 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^ (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.
• This System has been tested according to NSF/ANSI 42, 53, 401, and P473 for the reduction of the substances listed below. The concentration of the indicated substances in water entering the system was reduced to a concentration less than or equal to the permissible limit for water leaving the system, as specified in NSF/ANSI 42, 53, 401, and P473.
