INSTALLATION

WARNING

RE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD

Keep flammable materials and vapors away from refrigerator. Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion, or death.

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.

Automatic Icemaker (on some models)

Not all features are on all models.

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).

CAUTION

Avoid contact with the moving parts of the ejector mechanism, or with the heating element (located on the bottom of the ice maker) that releases the cubes. Do not place fingers or hands on the automatic ice making mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged in.

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

The ice maker will produce approximately 70-100 cubes in a 24-hour period, depending on the 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 switch OFF.

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

The ice maker will fill with water when it cools to 15^ F ( -9^ C). A newly-installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24 hours to begin making ice cubes.

Once the ice maker starts to make ice, it may take up to 48 hours to fill the bin, depending on the temperature settings and number of door openings.

You will hear a buzzing sound each time the ice maker fills with water.

NOTICE: 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, shrink or fuse together.

Ice maker accessory kit:

If your refrigerator did not already come equipped with an automatic ice maker, an ice maker accessory kit is available at extra cost.

This refrigerator will accept accessory icemaker kit IM-4D or IM-6D. Use instructions X supplied in the kit for assembly.

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.

After cleaning the door gaskets, apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly to the door gaskets at the hinge side. This helps keep the gaskets from sticking and bending out of shape.

CAUTION

Do not clean glass shelves or covers with

warm water when they are cold. Glass shelves and covers may break if exposed to sudden temperature changes or impact such as bumping or dropping. Tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small pieces if it breaks. Do not wash any plastic refrigerator parts in the dishwasher.

Moving 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.

Turn the leveling legs at each front corner of the refrigerator counterclockwise until the rollers support the refrigerator. 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 (on some models). After rolling the refrigerator back into place, turn the legs clockwise until the legs again bear the weight of the refrigerator.

Replacing the Lights

LED lighting is located at the top center of the fresh food compartment.

An authorized technician will need to replace the LED light.

If this assembly needs to be replaced, call GE Appliances Service at 1.800.432.2737 in the United States or 1.800.561.3344 in Canada.

Preparing for Vacation

For long vacations or absences, remove food and unplug the refrigerator. Move the temperature control dial to the OFF position, and 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.

Move the switch to the OFF position on the power switch model, 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 (on some models) to prevent serious property damage due to flooding.

Preparing to Move

Secure all loose items such as grille, shelves and drawers by taping them securely in place to prevent damage. To prevent the doors from opening while moving, secure them to the case with tape. Be sure the refrigerator stays in an upright position during moving.

INSTALLING THE WATER LINE (on some 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 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.

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 OFF position (on power switch models) or operating arm is in 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.

WARNING

Connect to potable water supply only.

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. Then add 6' (1.8 m). Be sure there is sufficient extra tubing (about 6' [1.8 m] coiled into 2 turns of about 10" [25 cm] diameter) to allow the refrigerator to move out from the wall after installation.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED (Cont.)

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

Be sure that the kit you select allows at least 6' (1.8 m) as described above.

NOTE: The only GE Appliances 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 from Parts and Accessories, 877.959.8688.

• A cold water supply. The water pressure must be between 20 and 120 psi (138 – 827 kilopascals) on models without a water filter and between 40 and 120 psi (275 – 827 kilopascals) on models with a water filter.

• 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.

INSTALLING THE WATER LINE (Cont.)

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Read these instructions completely and carefully.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of

electric shock or injury during installation, you must first unplug the refrigerator before proceeding.

SHUT OFF THE MAIN WATER SUPPLY AND UNPLUG REFRIGERATOR

Turn on the nearest faucet (counterclockwise) long enough to clear the line of water.

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.

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.

FASTEN THE SHUTOFF VALVE

Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with the pipe clamp.

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

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

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.

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 (about 6 feet [1.82 m] coiled into 2 turns of about 10" [25 cm] diameter) to allow the refrigerator to move out from the wall after installation.

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. 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.

■ 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.	HUMMM...WHOOSH...	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.
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.■ 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 ice maker, after an ice making cycle, you may hear the ice cubes dropping into the ice bucket.		[AYDS]	WATER SOUNDS■ 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.

Truth or Myth
Truth or Myth? Answer Explanation
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 off by switching it to the OFF position.The freezer must be 15 degrees or colder before the icemaker will produce ice. Please allow at least 24 hours for the refrigerator to pull down and the unit's temperature to stabilize.
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. To help reduce to the potential for frost please make sure there is proper clearance to the air supply and vents in the freezer to improve circulation. Always cover food before loading into the refrigerator, moisture from open containers can add to the frost load.
Refrigerator door handles can be easily tightened.	TRUE If	door handles are loose or have a gap, the handle can be adjusted with set screws located on the ends of the handles.
After starting the ice maker throw away 24 hours of ice production.	TRUE To	avoid issues with odor and taste the first batch of ice should be discarded
Door removal is always required for installation.	MYTH Doors	should only be removed when necessary to prevent damage from passage way or access to final location. If doors are removed please review Reversing the Door Swing section for re-hang procedure.
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 fresh food door adjustment. There should be approximately a 14 " fall from the front to back to ensure that the doors always close.
Any All-Purpose cleaner can be used to clean my refrigerator.	MYTH All-	purpose cleaners are not recommended for use on the refrigerator.Do not use wax, polish, ammonia, bleach, or other products containing chlorine on for any surfaces. Clean with a cloth dampened with soapy water. Dry with a soft cloth. The stainless steel doors can be cleaned with a commercially available stainless steel cleaner. Cleaners with oxalic acid such as Bar Keepers Friend Soft CleanserTMwill remove surface rust, tarnish and small blemishes. Use only a liquid cleanser free of grit and rub in the direction of the brush lines with a damp soft sponge. Do not use appliance wax or polish on the stainless steel.
Gaskets will last longer with regular cleaning and maintenance.	TRUE Clean	gaskets with warm soapy water. Make sure all folds are clean and dry after cleaning. Make sure flanges are clear of any grit or grime. After cleaning the door gaskets, apply paraffin wax or petroleum jelly to the door gaskets and hinges at the hinge side. This helps keep the gaskets from sticking and bending out of shape.
Doors may be shipped with protective film that has to be removed before use.	TRUE Smooth	finished doors (Stainless, Slate, Gloss Black and Gloss White, or Silver Metallic) will have a clear plastic film on the door that must be removed after install.
