IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
GE Appliances website
For more information on your refrigerator’s operation, visit
www.GEAppliances.com
This refrigerator must be properly installed and located in
accordance with the Installation Instructions before it is used.
Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and making repairs.
NOTE: Repairs must be performed by a qualified Service
Professional.
Replace all parts and panels before operating.
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
certified (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.
To prevent suffocation and entrapment hazards to children,
Remove the fresh food and freezer doors from any refrigerator
before disposing of it or discontinuing its use.
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
Power to the refrigerator cannot be disconnected by any
setting on the control panel, refrigerator must be unplugged to
remove power.
Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang on the door handles
or the shelves in the refrigerator. They could seriously injure
themselves.
In refrigerators with automatic ice makers, 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.
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.
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.
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 refreeze frozen foods which have thawed completely.
Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice (on models with ice
dispenser)
This is the safety alert symbol. This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others. All safety
messages will follow the safety alert symbol and the word “DANGER”, “WARNING”, or “CAUTION”. These words are defined as:
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
To reduce the risk of fire, explosion, electric shock, or injury when using your
refrigerator follow these basic safety precautions:

READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING Suffocation and child entrapment hazard.
Remove fresh-food and freezer doors from the refrigerator, prior to disposal. Failure to do so can
result in child entrapment which can lead to death or brain damage.
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 fresh food and freezer 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.
PROPER DISPOSAL OF YOUR OLD REFRIGERATOR
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.
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.
IMPORTANT:

About the dispenser.*
Dispenser tray
Important Facts About Your Dispenser
Do not add ice from trays or bags to the door ice maker
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 ice maker bin. Cans, bottles or food packages in the
storage drawer may cause the ice maker 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.
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 remove Dispenser Tray (Type A Only)
Pull Dispenser Tray out until it stops.
Locate tab in the center on the bottom and push up.
Pull Dispenser Tray assembly out.
Lift metal Dispenser Tray out at center notch to clean.
To remove Dispenser Tray (Type B Only)
Pull Dispenser Tray out.
To reinstall Dispenser Tray (Type A Only)
Place the Dispenser Tray cover on top of catch tray and
position under the two plastic retainers on either side.
Center Dispenser tray, and align with center guides.
Push in until it locks firmly in place.
To reinstall Dispenser Tray (Type B Only)
Center Dispenser Tray and push in until it snaps in place.
Water & Ice Dispenser
(See About the controls
with temperature settings &
About the control features)
To Use the Internal Water Dispenser*
The water dispenser is located on the
left wall inside the refrigerator compart-
ment.
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 5 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.
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.

About the GE® RPWFE water filter cartridge.
Water Filter Cartridge
The water filter cartridge is located in the fresh food interior
on the left side wall, near the top.
This product uses radio frequency identification (RFID) to
detect leaks and monitor filter status. The RFID technology is
certified by the FCC.
When to replace the filter cartridge
The filter cartridge should be replaced every six months or
earlier if 170 gallons of water has been dispensed or the flow of
water to the dispenser or icemaker decreases.
Touch Screen Models: A filter status message will appear on
the screen when the water filter needs to be replaced. The filter
status will automatically update when the filter is replaced.
Non-touch Screen Models: A filter indicator light will illuminate
on the screen when the water filter needs to be replaced.
Removing the filter cartridge
To replace the filter, first remove the old cartridge by opening
the filter door and pulling on the bottom of the cartridge to allow
it to swing outward. When the cartridge can no longer swing,
gently pull to unseat it from the cartridge holder. DO NOT TWIST
CARTRIDGE. A small amount of water may drip out.
Installing the Filter Cartridge
1. Align top of filter cartridge with cartridge holder with the word
FRONT” facing outward then push the cartridge toward
the rear of the unit until it is fully seated. DO NOT TWIST THE
FILTER CARTRIDGE!
2. While continuing to ensure cartridge is fully seated in the
holder, gently swing the filter inward until it is in position. If
filter will not swing easily, check to ensure filter is properly
aligned and fully seated within the cartridge holder. Close the
filter door.
3. Run two gallons of water through the cold water dispenser
(about 5 minutes) to remove air from the system. A newly
installed filter cartridge will cause water to spurt from the
dispenser. Use a large pitcher or sports bottle to catch the
water spray. DO NOT use hands-free auto-fill (some models)
until all air is removed from the system.
4. Reset Filter Status message (non-touch screen models).
WARNING Scalding Hazard.*
Use of the hot water dispenser prior to purging air from the
system may result in spurting of hot water and lead to hot water
scalding. Follow the instructions above to purge all air from the
system through the cold water dispenser prior to using the hot
water dispenser.
Note: It is normal for water to appear discolored during the initial
system flush. Water color will return to normal after first few
minutes of dispensing.
Filter Bypass Plug
To reduce the risk of property damage due to water leakage,
you MUST use the filter bypass plug when a replacement filter
cartridge is not available. The dispenser and icemaker will not
operate without either the filter or bypass plug installed. The
bypass plug is installed in the same way as a filter cartridge.
FCCID: ZKJ-EBX1532P001 ICID: 10229A-EBX1532P001
“This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is
subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not

About the automatic ice maker.
A newly installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24 hours to begin making ice.
Automatic Ice Maker*
The ice maker 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 ice maker 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 ice maker is
turned off. Once the water has been connected
to the refrigerator, the ice maker may be turned
on. See the table below for details.
You may hear a buzzing sound each time
the ice maker 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 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 and shrink.
NOTE: In homes with lower-than-average water
pressure, you may hear the ice maker cycle
multiple times when making one batch of ice.

Care and cleaning of the refrigerator. GEAppliances.com
Cleaning the Outside
The stainless steel panels, door handles and trim.
Do not use appliance wax, polish, bleach, or other products
containing chlorine on stainless steel.
Stainless steel (on some models) can be cleaned with a
commercially available stainless steel cleaner. A spray-on
stainless steel cleaner works best.
Silver-accented plastic parts.
Wash parts with soap or other mild detergents. Wipe clean
with a sponge, damp cloth or paper towel.
Do not use scouring pads, powdered cleaners, bleach or
cleaners containing bleach because these products can
scratch and weaken the paint finish.
Should spill tray need cleaning use lime remover.
Cleaning the Inside
To help prevent odors, leave an open box of baking soda in
the refrigerator and freezer compartments.
Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning.
If this is not practical, wring excess moisture out of sponge or

tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda to a quart (1 liter) of water.
This both cleans and neutralizes odors.
Rinse and wipe dry.
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.
Raise the leveling legs located at the bottom front of 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.
Lower the leveling legs until they touch the floor.
When pushing the refrigerator back, make sure you don’t
roll over the power cord or water 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.
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.
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.
LCD Models: turn refrigerator off at control (pg 7) .
If the temperature can drop below freezing, have a qualified
service technician drain the water supply system to prevent
serious property damage due to flooding.
1) Turn refrigerator off (pg. 7) or unplug the refrigerator.
2) Empty ice bucket
3) Turn water supply off
If you cut the water supply off, turn off the ice maker (pg. 18).
