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!
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 the controls to the O (off) position does
not remove power to the light circuit. On some
models, only the refrigerator control has a
O (off) setting.
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.

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.

About the automatic icemaker.
A newly-installed refrigerator may take 12–24 hours to begin making ice.
Crisper Removal
To Remove:
These drawers can be removed easily by
lifting up slightly while pulling the drawer
past the stop location.
When the door cannot be fully opened,
remove the drawer farthest from the door
first. Make sure the drawer closest to the
door is fully closed. There is a latch at the
front of the center slide rail. Push down on
the latch and slide the center slide rail, to
which the drawer is attached, away from the
door. Remove the drawer.
Icemaker Accessory Kit
If your refrigerator did not come already
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.
Automatic Icemaker (on some models)
The icemaker will produce seven or eight
cubes (depending on model) 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.
There are two types of icemakers: power
switch models and feeler arm models.
If the refrigerator is operated before the
water connection is made to the icemaker,
set the power switch to O (off) or move the
feeler arm to the STOP (up) position.
When the refrigerator has been connected
to the water supply, set the power switch to
the I (on) position or move the feeler arm to
the ON (down) position. On power switch
models, the green light will come on.
You will hear a buzzing sound each time
the icemaker fills with water.
The icemaker will fill with water when it
cools to approximately 15°F. A newly-
installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24
hours to begin making ice cubes.
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.
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.

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 mild liquid
dish detergent. Dry 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 refrigerator 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 refrigerator parts in the dishwasher.
Wash ice trays in lukewarm water only—do not put
them in an automatic dishwasher.
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.

INSTALLING THE WATER LINE
(ON SOME MODELS)
Installation Instructions
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
(WX08X10002, 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 icemaker power switch is
in the O (off) 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
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:
2′ (0.6 m) – WX08X10002
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.

Installation Instructions
SHUT OFF THE MAIN WATER
SUPPLY
Turn on the nearest faucet long enough to clear
the line of water.
Install the shutoff valve on the nearest frequently used
drinking water line.
1
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.
CHOOSE THE VALVE LOCATION
2
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
3
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,
800.626.2002.
A cold water supply. The water pressure must be
between 20 and 120 p.s.i. (1.4–8.1 bar).
Power drill.
1/2or adjustable wrench.
Straight and Phillips blade screwdriver.
Two 1/4outer 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 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

INSTALLING THE WATER LINE
(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.
CONNECT THE TUBING
TO THE VALVE

Turn the main water supply on and flush out the
tubing until the water is clear.
Shut the water off at the water valve after about
one quart (1 liter) of water has been flushed
through the tubing.

(refrigerator connection).
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.
