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.
Do not refreeze frozen foods which have thawed completely.
NOTE: Turning the refrigerator off via the controls on the touch
panel does not shut off electrical power to the refrigerator.
READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

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.
DANGER! RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT

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.
About the temperature controls.
4
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.
Not all features are on all models. Your controls may be similar to the following:
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, 24 hours a day, contact
us at GEAppliances.com or call 800.GE.CARES.
In Canada, contact us at geappliances.ca or call
1.800.561.3344.)

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.

How it Works
OR
About ClimateKeeper2.
(on some models) GEAppliances.com
How it Works
The 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.
The ClimateKeeper2
system features two
HYDSRUDWRUV³RQHIRUWKHUHIULJHUDWRUDQGRQH
for the freezer.
This provides two separate cooling systems,
and separates the airflow between the fresh
food and freezer compartments during normal
cooling operations.*
This ensures that the humidity levels in the
fresh food compartment 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 fresh food 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.
* Freezer air is used in the CustomCool
feature.
** Testing shows a higher level of humidity in
the Fresh Food section in ClimateKeeper2
refrigerators versus conventional units.

Empty the pan. Place the Chill tray in the
pan. Place the items on the tray and close
the pan completely.
Select the ExpressChillpad. On some
models, you can then select the chill time
(use chart to determine best setting). Other
models will only have one option (45
minutes). On models with multiple settings,
tap the pad until the light appears next to
the desired setting.
To stop a feature before it is finished, tap
that feature’s pad until no options are
selected and the display is off.
During ExpressChill™, the display on the
controls will count down the time in the
cycle.
About ExpressChill. (on some models)
The ExpressChill™ feature is a system of
dampers, a fan and a temperature thermistor.
The pan is tightly sealed to prevent the pan’s
temperature from causing temperature
fluctuations in the rest of the refrigerator.
The controls for this pan are located in the top
of the refrigerator or on the dispenser with the
temperature controls.
How to Use

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 ithout 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 1-1/2 gallons (about three
minutes) 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 upon first use.
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.
For the maximum benefit of your filtration system, GE
recommends the use of GE branded SmartWater filters only.
Using GE branded filters in GE and Hotpoint refrigerators
provides optimal performance and reliability. GE branded
SmartWater filters are always the right choice because they
are patented and designed specifically for GE products. GE
SmartWater filters meet rigorous industry NSF standards for
safety and quality that are important for products that are
filtering your water. GE has not qualified non-GE branded
filters for use in GE and Hotpoint refrigerators and there is no
assurance that non-GE branded filters meet GE’s standards for
quality, performance and reliability.

About the refrigerator doors.
Refrigerator Doors
(on some models)
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.

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 OFF position.
When the refrigerator has been connected to the water supply,
set the power switch to the 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:
Some 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.
A newly installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24 hours to begin making ice.

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.

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.

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.

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 OFF
position and shut off the water supply to the

property damage due to flooding.
Care and cleaning of the refrigerator. (cont.)
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 (on some models).
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.
