IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING!
Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner’s Manual.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:
This refrigerator must be properly installed
and located in accordance with the Installation
Instructions before it is used.
Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang
on the shelves in the refrigerator. They could
damage the refrigerator and seriously injure
themselves.
Do not touch the cold surfaces in the freezer
compartment when hands are damp or wet.
Skin may stick to these extremely cold surfaces.
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable
vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any
other appliance.
In refrigerators with automatic icemakers,
avoid contact with the moving parts of the ejector
mechanism, or with the heating element located
on the bottom of the icemaker. Do not place fingers
or hands on the automatic icemaking mechanism
while the refrigerator is plugged in.
Keep fingers out of the “pinch point” areas;
clearances between the doors and between
the doors and cabinet are necessarily small.
Be careful closing doors when children are
in the area.
Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and making
repairs.
NOTE: We strongly recommend that any servicing
be performed by a qualified individual.
Setting either or both controls to 0 (off) does not
remove power to the light circuit.
Do not refreeze frozen foods which have thawed
completely.

PROPER DISPOSAL OF THE REFRIGERATOR
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems
of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are
still dangerous…even if they will sit for “just a few
days.” If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator,
please follow the instructions below to help prevent
accidents.
Before You Throw Away Your Old
Refrigerator or Freezer:
Take off the doors.
Leave the shelves in place so that children may not
easily climb inside.
Refrigerants
All refrigeration products contain refrigerants,
which under federal law must be removed prior
to product disposal. If you are getting rid of an
old refrigeration product, check with the company
handling the disposal about what to do.
USE OF EXTENSION CORDS
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against the use
of an extension cord.
However, if you must use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL-listed (in the United States)
or a CSA-listed (in Canada), 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding type plug and
outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 120 volts.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING!
HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY
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.
If the outlet is a standard 2-prong outlet, it is your
personal responsibility and obligation to have it
replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall
outlet.
The refrigerator should always be plugged into its
own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage
rating that matches the rating plate.
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.
Repair or replace immediately all power cords that
have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not
use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage
along its length or at either end.
When moving the refrigerator away from the wall,
be careful not to roll over or damage the power cord.
READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
TurboCool rapidly cools the refrigerator
compartment in order to more quickly cool foods.
Use TurboCool when adding a large amount of
food to the refrigerator compartment, putting
away foods after they have been sitting out at
room temperature or when putting away warm
leftovers. It can also be used if the refrigerator has
been without power for an extended period.
Once activated, the compressor will turn on
immediately and the fans will cycle on and off
at high speed as needed for eight hours.
The compressor will continue to run until the
refrigerator compartment cools to approximately
34°F (1°C), then it will cycle on and off to maintain
this setting. After 8 hours, or if TurboCool is
pressed again, the refrigerator compartment
will return to the original setting.
How to Use
Press TurboCool. The TurboCool temperature
display will show Tc and the LED will be activated.
After TurboCool is complete, the TurboCool
indicator light will go out.
NOTES: The refrigerator temperature cannot
be changed during TurboCool.
The freezer temperature is not affected
during TurboCool.
When opening the refrigerator door
during TurboCool, the fans will continue
to run if they have cycled on.

About the temperature controls.
ge.com
The temperature controls are preset in the factory at 37°F for the refrigerator compartment and 0°F for the
freezer compartment. Allow 24 hours for the temperature to stabilize to the preset recommended settings.
The temperature controls can display both the SET temperature as well as the actual temperature in
the refrigerator and freezer. The actual temperature may vary slightly from the SET temperature based
on usage and operating environment.
On some models, setting both controls to the warmest setting until the display flashes (off) will stop
cooling in both the freezer and refrigerator compartments.
On other models, setting either control to the warmest setting until the display flashes (off) will stop
the cooling to the freezer and refrigerator.
NOTE: Turning the refrigerator off via the controls on the touch panel does not shut off electrical power
to the refrigerator.
NOTE: The refrigerator is shipped with protective film covering the temperature controls. If this film was
not removed during installation, remove it now.
About TurboCool.
(on some models)
How it Works
Not all features are on all models.
The Performance Air-Flow System is designed to
maximize temperature control in the refrigerator
and freezer compartments. This unique special
feature consists of the Air Tower along the back
wall of the refrigerator and the Air Tunnel on the
bottom portion of the freezer rear wall. Placing
food in front of the louvers on these components
will not affect performance. Although the Air Tower
and the Air Tunnel can be removed, doing so will
affect temperature performance. (For removal
instructions, on-line, contact us at ge.com or
call 800.GE.CARES. In Canada, contact us at

About ClimateKeeper2.
How it Works
The new ClimateKeeper2
is the industry’s
most advanced refrigeration system,
delivering optimum temperature and
humidity performance to keep food
garden fresh longer and reduce freezer
burn, while maintaining E star-level efficiency.
The new ClimateKeeper2 system features
two evaporators—one for the refrigerator
and one for the freezer.
This provides two separate cooling systems
for the entire unit, and separates the airflow
between the fresh food and freezer sections
during normal cooling operations.
This ensures that the humidity levels in the
fresh food section are significantly higher
than in a conventional system,* allowing
fresh produce and other unsealed foods to
retain their moisture content and freshness
longer. Moisture sensitive foods such as fresh
fruit, salads, rice, etc., can now be stored on
open shelves without excessive moisture loss.
Due to the higher humidity in the refrigerator,
you may on occasion experience fog or small
amounts of moisture in the refrigerator
compartment. This is normal and may
come and go as different food loads
and environmental conditions change.
Wipe dry with a paper towel if desired.
The separate airflow system minimizes
the mixing of air between the two
compartments, which reduces odor
transfer to improve the taste of ice.
The ClimateKeeper2 system also reduces
the number of defrosting cycles in the freezer
evaporator, thereby reducing freezer burn.
*Testing shows a higher level of humidity in
the Fresh Food section in ClimateKeeper2
refrigerators versus conventional units.

About the water filter. (on some models) ge.com
Water Filter Cartridge
The water filter cartridge is located in the back upper right
corner of the refrigerator compartment.
When to Replace the Filter on Models With
a Replacement Indicator Light
There is a replacement indicator light for the water filter
cartridge on the dispenser. This light will turn orange to tell
you that you need to replace the filter soon.
The filter cartridge should be replaced when the replacement
indicator light turns red or if the flow of water to the dispenser
or icemaker decreases.
When to Replace the Filter on Models Without
a Replacement Indicator Light
The filter cartridge should be replaced every six months or
earlier if the flow of water to the water dispenser or icemaker
decreases.
Removing the Filter Cartridge
If you are replacing the cartridge, first remove the old one by
slowly turning it to the left. Do not pull down on the cartridge.
A small amount of water may drip down.
Installing the Filter Cartridge
If you are replacing a SmartWater cartridge with
an adapter, it must be removed before installing the
cartridge. To remove the adapter, turn it to the left about
1/4 turn.
If you are replacing a Water by Culligan cartridge,
leave the adapter in place. This adapter will stay in
the refrigerator when you replace future cartridges.
On models without a replacement indicator light, apply
the month and year sticker to the new cartridge to remind
you to replace the filter in six months.
Fill the replacement cartridge with water from the tap to
allow for better flow from the dispenser immediately after
installation.
Line up the arrow on the cartridge and the cartridge
holder. Place the top of the new cartridge up inside
the holder. Do not push it up into the holder.
Slowly turn it to the right until the filter cartridge stops.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. As you turn the cartridge, it will
automatically raise itself into position. The cartridge will
move about 1/2 turn.
Run water from the dispenser for 3 minutes (about 1-1/2
gallons) to clear the system and prevent sputtering.
Press and hold the WATER FILTER pad (on some models)
on the dispenser for 3 seconds.
NOTE: A newly-installed water filter cartridge may cause
water to spurt from the dispenser.
Filter Bypass Plug
You must use the filter bypass plug when a replacement filter
cartridge is not available. The dispenser and the icemaker will
not operate without the filter or filter bypass plug.
To use the filter bypass plug on Water by Culligan models, you
must first remove the filter adapter from the cartridge holder
by turning it to the left.

About the refrigerator doors.
Refrigerator Doors
The refrigerator doors may feel different than
the ones you are used to. The special door
opening/closing feature makes sure the
doors close all the way and are securely
sealed.
When opening and closing the door you will
notice a stop position. If the door is opened
past this stop point, the door will remain
open to allow you to load and unload food
more easily. When the door is only partially
open, it will automatically close.
The resistance you feel at the stop position
will be reduced as the door is loaded
with food.
When the door is only partially open,
it will automatically close.
Beyond this stop the door will
stay open.
Door Alignment
If doors are uneven, adjust
the refrigerator door.
Using a 7/16 wrench, turn the door
adjusting screw to the right to raise the
door, to the left to lower it. (A nylon plug,
imbedded in the threads of the pin,
prevents the pin from turning unless
a wrench is used.)
After one or two turns of the wrench,
open and close the refrigerator door
and check the alignment at the top
of the doors.

About the automatic icemaker.
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.
If the refrigerator is operated before the
water connection is made to the icemaker,
set the power switch in the O (off) position.
When the refrigerator has been connected
to the water supply, set the power switch
to the l (on) position.
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.
You will hear a buzzing sound each time
the icemaker fills with water.
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.
Special note about dispenser models:
Dispenser models have a tilt-out ice bin.
The bin can be tilted out as shown in the
illustrations, and it will hold itself up while
you take ice out or turn the icemaker
power switch on and off. Be sure to put the
bin back in place before closing the door.
To restore your ice level from an empty
bucket stage, the following steps are
recommended:
12 hours after the first batch of ice has
fallen into the bin, dispense 3 to 4 cubes.
After an additional 6 hours, dispense
3 to 4 cubes again.
These steps will restore your ice level in
the shortest amount of time.
NOTE: In homes with lower-than-average
water pressure, you may hear the icemaker
cycle multiple times when making one batch
of ice.
A newly installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24 hours to begin making ice.
Lift the bin, then pull it
forward until the bin stops.
Removing Ice Bin (dispenser models)
CAUTION: The ice bin is heavy when full.
Set the power switch to the O (off) position
before removing the bin.
When replacing the bin, be sure to press
it firmly into place. If it does not go all the
way back, remove it and rotate the drive
mechanism 1/4 turn. Then push the bin
back again.

Important Facts About Your Dispenser
Do not add ice from trays or bags to
the storage 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 is blocking 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.
Some crushed ice may be dispensed even
though you selected CUBED ICE. 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.
About the ice and water dispenser. (on some models) ge.com
To Use the Dispenser
Select CUBED ICE, CRUSHED ICE or WATER.
Press the glass gently against the top of the
dispenser cradle.
The spill shelf is not self-draining. To reduce water
spotting, the shelf and its grille should be cleaned
regularly.
If no water is dispensed when the refrigerator is
first installed, there may be air in the water line
system. Press the dispenser arm for at least two
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 glassfuls
of water.
CAUTION: Never put fingers or any other objects
into the ice crusher discharge opening.
Locking the Dispenser
Press the LOCK pad for 3 seconds to lock the
dispenser and control panel. To unlock, press and
hold the pad again for 3 seconds.
Dispenser Light
The LIGHT pad turns the night light in the
dispenser on and off. The light also comes on
when the dispenser cradle is pressed. On some
models, if this light burns out, it should be replaced
with a 6 watt 12V maximum bulb.
Quick Ice
When you need ice in a hurry, press the QUICK
ICE pad to speed up ice production. This will
increase ice production for the following 48 hours
or until you press the pad again.
Door Alarm
To set the alarm, press the DOOR ALARM pad until
the indicator light comes on. This alarm will sound
if either door is open for more than 3 minutes.
The light goes out and the beeping stops when
you close the door.
Spill Shelf
Precise Fill
This water dispenser is equipped with a feature
called “precise fill.This feature allows you to
choose a precise amount of water (cups or
ounces) that you would like dispensed.
Press the WATER pad.
Press the CUPS or OUNCES pad.
Select the precise amount of water you
would like dispensed.
If you selected OUNCES, press the arrow
pads on either side of the display to select
the number of ounces you would like to have
dispensed between 1–99 ounces.
If you selected CUPS, press the arrow pads
on the left of the display to select the whole
cups (1–16 cups) and/or the arrow pads on
the right side of the display to select fractions
of a cup (1/4–3/4 cups).
Press the cup against the cradle and water
will begin dispensing. It will automatically
stop when the amount set has been
dispensed. The display will show there
is no water left to dispense, then reset.
NOTE: Do not leave the dispenser unattended
when water is being dispensed.
If you would like to stop dispensing water
before the specified amount has been
dispensed, just remove the cup from the

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. 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 liter) of water. Rinse thoroughly
and wipe dry.
The door handles and trim. Clean with
a cloth dampened with soapy water.
Dry with a soft cloth.
The stainless steel panels and door handles
(on some models) can be cleaned with
a commercially available stainless steel
cleaner. A spray-on stainless steel cleaner
works best.
Do not use appliance wax or polish
on the stainless steel.
Keep the outside clean. Wipe with a
clean cloth lightly dampened with kitchen
appliance wax or mild liquid dish detergent.
Dry and polish with a clean, soft cloth.
Do not wipe the refrigerator with a soiled
dish cloth or wet towel. These may leave
a residue that can erode the paint. Do not
use scouring pads, powdered cleaners,
bleach or cleaners containing bleach
because these products can scratch
and weaken the paint finish.
Cleaning the Inside
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.
Use of any cleaning solution other than
that which is recommended, especially
those that contain petroleum distillates,
can crack or damage the interior of the
refrigerator.
Avoid cleaning cold glass shelves with hot
water because the extreme temperature
difference may cause them to break.
Handle glass shelves carefully. Bumping
tempered glass can cause it to shatter.
Do not wash any plastic refrigerator parts
in the dishwasher.
The chill/thaw tray is dishwasher safe.

For long vacations or absences, remove
food and unplug the refrigerator. 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.
Set the icemaker power switch to the O (off)
position 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 to prevent serious property
damage due to flooding.

Behind 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.
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
icemaker supply line.
Preparing for Vacation
Preparing to Move
Secure all loose items such as shelves and
drawers by taping them securely in place
to prevent damage.
When using a hand truck to move the
refrigerator, do not rest the front or back
of the refrigerator against the hand truck.
This could damage the refrigerator. Handle
only from the sides of the refrigerator.
Be sure the refrigerator stays in an upright
position during moving.

Trim kits and decorator panels.
Read these instructions completely and carefully.
Before You Begin
Some models are equipped with trim kits that allow you to install door panels. You can order
pre-cut black, white, bisque or stainless steel decorator panels from GE Parts and Accessories,
800.626.2002, or you can add wood panels to match your kitchen cabinets.
Panels less than 1/4(6 mm) thick
When installing wood panels less than 1/4(6 mm) thick, you need to create a filler panel, such as 1/8
cardboard, that will fit between the face of the door and the wood panel. If you are installing the pre-cut
decorator panels, pre-cut filler panels are included in the kit. The combined thickness of the decorator
or wood panel and the filler panel should be 1/4 (6 mm).
For CustomStyle
models
3/4(19 mm) or Raised Panel
A raised panel design screwed or glued to a 1/4(6 mm) thick backing, or a 3/4 (19 mm) routed board can
be used. The raised portion of the panel must be fabricated to permit clearances of at least 2 (5.1 cm) from
the handle side for fingertip clearance.
Panels thicker than 1/4(6 mm), up to 3/4 (19 mm) max, will require that the outer 5/16(8 mm) of panel
perimeter be no thicker than 1/4(6 mm).
Weight limitations for custom panels:
