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 (some models only

have one control) to the

0 (off)

position does not

remove power to the light circuit.

■

■ Do not refreeze frozen foods which have

thawed completely.

Operating Instructions Safety InstructionsInstallation Instructions

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.

DANGER! RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT

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.

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.

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.

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

About the controls on the refrigerator.

Control Settings

Initially, set the control(s) at 5 (some models have

only one control). Allow 24 hours for the temperature

to stabilize.

Several adjustments may be required. Adjust the

control(s) one increment at a time and allow 12 hours

after each adjustment for the refrigerator to reach the

temperature you have set.

Setting the refrigerator control to 0 stops cooling in

both the freezer and refrigerator compartments but

does not shut off electrical power to the refrigerator.

The freezer control (on some models) has no effect on electrical power to the refrigerator.

Control settings will vary based on personal preferences, usage and operating conditions, and may require

more than one adjustment. Factors that affect temperature include the amount of food in the refrigerator or

freezer, the frequency of door opening and the temperature of food when it is placed in the refrigerator.

Troubleshooting TipsOperating Instructions

Safety Instructions Installation Instructions

About the automatic icemaker. GEAppliances.com

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

Automatic Icemaker (on some models)

The icemaker will produce approximately

3 to 3

⁄2 lbs. of ice 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 icemaker,

move the feeler arm to the

STOP

(up)

position.

When the refrigerator has been connected

to the water supply, move the feeler arm to

the

(down) position.

The icemaker will fill with water when it

cools to 15°F. A newly-installed refrigerator

may take 12 to 24 hours to begin making

ice cubes.

Once the icemaker 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 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, shrink or

fuse together.

On power switch models, the green power

light will blink if ice cubes get stuck in the

icemaker. To correct this, set the power

switch to

O (off)

and remove the cubes.

Set the power switch to

I (on)

to restart the

icemaker. After the icemaker has been

turned on again, there will be a delay of

about 45 minutes before the icemaker

resumes operation.

NOTE: In homes with lower-than-average water

pressure, you may hear the icemaker cycle multiple

times when making one batch of ice.

Icemaker accessory kit:

If your refrigerator did not already come

equipped with an automatic icemaker,

an icemaker accessory kit is available at

extra cost.

Check the back of the refrigerator for the

specific icemaker kit needed for your model.

To Use the Dispenser (on some models)

The water dispenser is located on the left

wall inside the refrigerator compartment.

To dispense water:

Hold the glass against the recess.

Push the water dispenser button.

Hold the glass underneath the

dispenser for 2–3 seconds after

releasing the dispenser button.

Water may continue to dispense

after the button is released.

If no water is dispensed when the refrigerator is first

installed, there may be air in the water line system.

Press the dispenser button for at least 2 minutes to

remove trapped air from the water line and to fill the

water system. During this process, the dispenser

noise may be loud as the air is purged from the

water line system. To flush out impurities in the

water line, throw away the first 6 glassfuls of water.

NOTE: To avoid water deposits, the dispenser

should be cleaned periodically by wiping with a

clean cloth or sponge.

Water Filter Accessory

The water filter is an option at extra cost

and is available from your dealer. Specify

WR97X0214. It has complete installation

instructions and installs on 1/4″ O.D.

copper water line or plastic tubing that

is included in a GE SmartConnect

™

Refrigerator Tubing kit. When using the

plastic tubing, an additional piece of plastic

tubing (WX08X10002) must also be

ordered since the plastic tubing should

not be cut.

NOTE: The only GE approved plastic tubing is that

supplied in GE 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.

Troubleshooting Tips

Operating Instructions Safety InstructionsInstallation Instructions

Care and cleaning of the refrigerator.

Cleaning the Outside

The door handles and trim.

Clean with

a cloth dampened with soapy water.

Dry with a soft cloth.

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.

The stainless steel door panels and handles.

The stainless steel panels can be cleaned

with a commercially available stainless steel

cleaner or a similar product using a clean,

soft cloth. Do not use appliance wax, polish,

bleach or products containing chlorine on

stainless steel doors and handles.

For best results, GE recommends using

stainless steel cleaner PM10X311 with

the WX10X307 polishing cloth, or for

convenience the SS cleaning wipes, part

number WX10X10001.

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. Thoroughly rinse

and wipe dry.

Avoid cleaning cold glass shelves (on some models)

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.

Do not clean with any products containing detergent,

bleach or ammonia. They may damage the

refrigerator.

Condenser

There is no need for routine condenser

cleanings in normal home operating

environments. However, in environments

that may be particularly dusty or greasy, the

condenser should be cleaned periodically

for efficient refrigerator operation.

For models with a base grille,

the grille must

be removed in order to clean the condenser.

To remove the base grille:

Grasp it about 6″ from each end and pull

its bottom edge toward you.

To replace the base grille:

Insert the tops of the metal clips into the

oval vents, making sure one of the plastic

tabs on the back of the grille goes into each

of the oval vents. Then push the bottom of

the grille forward until it snaps into place.

Cleaning the condenser:

Sweep away or vacuum up dust.

For models with a base grille,

reach the

condenser by inserting a brush or vacuum

hose into the oval holes.

For models without a base grille,

reach the

condenser by inserting a brush or vacuum

hose under the bottom of the refrigerator.

For best results, use a brush specially

designed for this purpose. It is available

at most appliance parts stores.

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.

BEFORE moving the refrigerator away from the wall,

be sure to adjust the leveling legs up. (See page 10

for details.)

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

(on some models).

GEAppliances.com

Preparing for Vacation

For long vacations or absences, remove

food and unplug the refrigerator. Move

the refrigerator control to the

0 (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.

Set the icemaker power switch to the

O (off)

position or move the feeler arm to the

STOP

(up) position (depending on 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.

Be sure the refrigerator stays in an upright position

during moving.

Some models have only one light.

Freezer Compartment Dome Light (on some models)

CAUTION:Light bulbs may be hot.

Unplug the refrigerator.

The bulb is located behind a light

shield at the back of the freezer

compartment. To remove, squeeze

the top and bottom of the shield and

pull the shield off.

After replacing with an appliance bulb

of the same or lower wattage, replace

the shield.

Plug the refrigerator back in.

Replacing the light bulbs.

Setting either or both controls to 0 (off) does not remove power to the light circuit.

Refrigerator Compartment—Upper Light

CAUTION:Light bulbs may be hot.

Unplug the refrigerator.

The bulbs are located at the top of the

compartment near the opening.

Replace with an appliance bulb of

the same or lower wattage.

• Do not install the refrigerator where the temperature

will go below 60°F (16°C) because it will not run often

enough to maintain proper temperatures.

• Do not install the refrigerator where the temperature

will go above 100°F (37°C) because it will not perform

properly.

• Install it on a floor strong enough to support it fully

loaded.

REFRIGERATOR LOCATION

INSTALLING THE WATER LINE (ON SOME MODELS)

Recommended copper water supply kits are WX8X2, WX8X3

or WX8X4, depending on the amount of tubing you need.

Approved plastic water supply lines are GE SmartConnect

™

Refrigerator Tubing (WX08X10006, WX08X10015 and

WX08X10025).

When connecting your refrigerator to a GE Reverse Osmosis

Water System, the only approved installation is with a GE RVKit.

For other reverse osmosis water systems, follow the

manufacturer’s recommendations.

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 you use your refrigerator before connecting the water line,

make sure the feeler arm is in the

STOP

(up) position.

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.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Installation Instructions

WHAT YOU WILL NEED

• Copper or GE 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 8′ (2.4 m). Be sure there is sufficient extra

tubing (about 8′ [2.4 m] coiled into 3 turns of about 10″ [25 cm]

diameter) to allow the refrigerator to move out from the wall

after installation.

GE SmartConnect

™

Refrigerator Tubing Kits are available in the

following lengths:

6′ (1.8 m) – WX08X10006

15′ (4.6 m) – WX08X10015

25′ (7.6 m) – WX08X10025

Be sure that the kit you select allows at least 8′ (2.4 m) as

described above.

NOTE: The only GE approved plastic tubing is that supplied

in GE 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 water supply kit (containing tubing, shutoff

valve and fittings listed below) is available at extra

cost from your dealer or from Parts and Accessories,

1.800.661.1616.

• 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.

• If you are using a GE 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 GE 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.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED (CONT.)

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 GE 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.

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.

CONNECT THE TUBING

TO THE VALVE

Turn the main water supply

on counterclockwise and flush

out the tubing until the water

is clear.

Turn on the nearest faucet counterclockwise long

enough to clear the line of water.

Install the shutoff valve on the nearest frequently used

drinking water line.

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 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.

DRILL THE HOLE FOR THE VALVE

Installation Instructions

NOTES:

• Before making the connection to the refrigerator,

be sure the refrigerator power cord is not

plugged into the wall outlet.

• We recommend installing a water filter 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

GE SmartConnect

™

Refrigerator Tubing kit, you

will need an additional tube (WX08X10002) to

connect the filter. Do not cut plastic tube to

install filter.

Remove the screws holding the right side of the

access cover. Fold back the cover.

Remove the plastic flexible cap

from the water valve

(refrigerator connection).

Place the compression nut and

ferrule (sleeve) onto the end of

the tubing as shown. On GE

SmartConnect

™

Refrigerator

Tubing kit, the nuts are already

assembled to the tubing.

Insert the end of the tubing into the water valve

connection as far as possible. While holding the

tubing, tighten the fitting.

For plastic tubing from a GE SmartConnect

™

Refrigerator Tubing kit, insert the molded end

of the tubing into the water valve connection and

tighten compression nut until it is hand-tight;

then tighten one additional turn with a wrench.

Overtightening may cause leaks.

Fasten the tubing into the clamp provided to hold

it in a vertical position. You may need to pry open

the clamp.

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.

Normal operating sounds. GEAppliances.com

Newer refrigerators sound different from older refrigerators. Modern refrigerators

have more features and use newer technology.

■

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 icemaker, after an icemaking cycle, you

may hear the ice cubes dropping into the ice bucket.

■

On models with a dispenser, during water dispense, you may

hear the water lines move at initial dispense and after

dispenser button is released.

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.

Do you hear what I hear? These sounds are normal.
