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.



 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.



 In refrigerators with automatic icemakers,

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 icemaking mechanism

while the refrigerator is plugged in.



 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.

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 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.

DANGER! RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT

GEAppliances.com

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.

About the 7”control panel for LCD models.

The temperature controls are preset in the factory at 38°F for the refrigerator compartment and –2°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.

Reset the LCD screen at any time by inserting a paper clip into the small hole next to the SD card slot under

the front edge of the dispenser opening.

NOTE: The refrigerator is shipped with protective film covering the temperature controls. If this film was

not removed during installation, remove it now.

Use the PHOTOS button to upload and display favorite photos that can

be used as a 15-minute slide show or as a screen saver. The screen saver

shows on the LCD screen after 2 minutes of inactivity. After 15 minutes,

the backlight will go out. If the slide show is selected instead of the screen

saver, the photos will scroll through in a slide show for 15 minutes before

the backlight goes out.

Select the PHOTOS button on the HOME screen to see default photos and

to begin the process of uploading photos.

UPLOADING PHOTOS

To upload photos, insert an SD card into the slot below the display.

Up to 100 photos (6 per page) from the SD card are displayed as

Photos can be selected one at a time on the screen or by using the

ALL button if all photos (30 max) from the SD card are to be uploaded.

To deselect all photos, select the NONE button. When photos have

been selected, press the UPLOAD button. Uploading 30 photos will

take between 3 and 16 minutes. The CANCEL button can be pressed

at any time to stop the uploading process. When the upload is complete,

the display will show UPLOAD COMPLETE. Select the EJECT button to eject

the SD card and wait to be prompted to remove the card. If the card

is removed without pressing the EJECT button, there is the possibility

of damaging the files on the SD card. When the SD card is removed,

the display returns to the PHOTOS screen.

NOTE: The dispenser will not work during photo upload.

SELECTING PHOTOS

The PHOTOS screen will display 6 thumbnail photos or you can

choose the full screen option. Navigate between screens using

the LEFT and RIGHT arrow keys on the sides of the display.

On the thumbnail screen, select photos one at a time by

touching that photo, select all of the photos by selecting

the ALL button or deselect all by selecting the NONE button.

SLIDESHOW

Select SLIDE SHOW on the PHOTOS screen to view uploaded

photos in a slide show from newest to oldest. (This does NOT set

the slide show as the screen saver. That is done in the SYSTEMS

section.)

DELETING PHOTOS

With photos selected that you want to delete, select the DELETE

button from either the thumbnail screen or the full screen.

The ALL button can be used with the DELETE feature. You

will be given an opportunity to CANCEL the action before

the photos are deleted.

UNITS

To change the temperature readings from English units to Metric units,

press the METRIC button. Units shown on the HOME screen will now read

in Celsius instead of Fahrenheit.

ICEMAKER

The unit comes with an icemaker installed. The icemaker rate of 9 cubes

per cycle will depend 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, press and release the ICEMAKER button on the SYSTEM screen

to disengage the icemaker. When the refrigerator has been connected to

the water supply, press and release the ICEMAKER button on the SYSTEM

screen to engage the icemaker. A newly installed refrigerator may take

12 to 24 hours to begin making ice cubes and the ICEMAKER default is

ON (check).

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.

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 icemaker cycle multiple times when making one batch of ice.

NOTE: Turn OFF the icemaker if the water supply is shut off.

About the control with temperature settings for non-LCD models.

The temperature controls are preset in the factory at 38°F for the refrigerator compartment and -2°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.

To change the temperature, press and

release the ADJUST FREEZER or ADJUST

REFRIGERATOR pad. The display will

show the actual temperature. To change

the temperature, tap either the ADJUST

FREEZER or ADJUST REFRIGERATOR pad

until the desired temperature is displayed.

Once the desired temperature has been

set, the temperature display will return

to the actual refrigerator and freezer

temperatures after 10 seconds. Several

adjustments may be required.

Each time you adjust controls, allow

24 hours for the refrigerator to reach

the temperature you have set.

Changing the Temperature

NOTE: The refrigerator is shipped with protective film covering the temperature controls. If this film was

not removed during installation, remove it now.

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 Energy Saver

Automatic Icemaker

The unit comes with an icemaker installed.

The icemaker rate of 9 cubes per cycle will

depend on the freezer compartment

temperature, room temperature, number

of door openings and other use conditions.

For Non-LCD Models: If the refrigerator

is operated before the water connection

is made to the icemaker, press and release

the ICE OFF/LOCK pad on the control panel

to disengage the icemaker.

When the refrigerator has been connected

to the water supply, press and release

the ICE OFF/LOCK pad on the control

panel to engage the icemaker.

For LCD Models: If the refrigerator is

operated before the water connection is

made to the icemaker, see ICEMAKER under

the Screen Functions of LCD Operations

section and follow the screen commands

to turn the icemaker OFF.

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.

NOTE: In homes with lower-than-average

water pressure, you may hear the icemaker

cycle multiple times when making one batch

of ice.

NOTE: If the water supply is shut off,

press and release the ICE OFF/LOCK pad

on the control panel of the non-LCD model.

For the LCD model, see ICEMAKER under

the Screen Functions of LCD Operations

section and follow the screen commands

to turn the icemaker OFF.

NOTE: It is normal to hear ice falling into the

ice compartment. It will make a marble-like

sound.

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