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 to
0 (off)
does not
remove power to the light circuit.
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-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!
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 water filter (on some models).
On some models
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, the adapter 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 without 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 for 3 minutes
(about 1-1/2 gallons) to clear the system and prevent
sputtering.
Press and hold the
RESET 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.
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.

About the refrigerator doors. ge.com
Refrigerator Doors
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.
Door Alignment
If doors are uneven, adjust the
refrigerator door.
Using a 7/16socket wrench, turn
the door adjusting screw to the right
to raise the door; to the left, to lower
it. (A nylon plug, imbedded in the
threads of the pin, prevents the pin
from turning unless a wrench is
used.)
After one or two turns of the
wrench, open and close the
refrigerator door and check the
alignment at the top of the doors.
To remove the base
grille, open the doors,
remove the screw at
each end of the base
grille and then pull
the grille straight out.
7/16Socket Wrench
Raise
Support Leg
Before moving the refrigerator, you will
need to screw up the support leg. Once
the unit is relocated, you will need to
screw down the support leg again.
Screw down the support
leg until it touches the
floor. This will prevent
door misalignment.
About crisper removal.
Not all features are on all models.
Crisper Removal
Crispers can easily be removed by pulling
the drawer straight out and lifting the
drawer up and over the
stop
location.
If the door prevents you from taking out
the drawers, first try to remove the door
bins. If this does not offer enough
clearance, the refrigerator will need to
be rolled forward until the door opens
enough to slide the drawers out. In some
cases, when you roll the refrigerator out,
you will need to move the refrigerator
to the left or right as you roll it out.

About the automatic icemaker. ge.com
Automatic Icemaker
The icemaker 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.
See below for how to access ice and reach
the power switch on dispenser models.
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.
A newly installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24 hours to begin making ice.
Lift the bin, then pull it
forward until the bin stops.

To access ice and reach the
icemaker power switch:
Accessing Ice and Reaching the
Power Switch on Dispenser Models
There are two types of ice storage bins on
dispenser models.
One has a shelf above
the bin, the other does not.
Special note about dispenser models
without a shelf above the ice bin:
These 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.
To access ice, pull the bin forward.
To reach the power switch, pull the
shelf straight out. Always be sure to
replace the shelf.

About the ice and water dispenser (on some models).
To Use the Dispenser
Select
CUBED ICE , CRUSHED ICE
or
WATER .
Press the glass gently against the top of the
dispenser cradle.
The spill shelf is not self-draining. To
reduce water spotting, the shelf and its
grille should be cleaned regularly.
If no water is dispensed when the refrigerator is
first installed, there may be air in the water line
system. Press the dispenser arm for at least two
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 glassfuls of water.
CAUTION: Never put fingers or any other
objects into the ice crusher discharge opening.
Locking the Dispenser
Press the
LOCK CONTROL
pad for 3 seconds to
lock the dispenser and
control panel. To
unlock, press and
hold the pad again
for 3 seconds.
Dispenser Light
This pad turns the
night
light
in the dispenser on
and off. The light also
comes on when the
dispenser cradle is
pressed. If this light
burns out, it should be
replaced with a 6 watt
12V maximum bulb.
Quick Ice (on some models)
When you need ice
in a hurry, press this
pad to speed up ice
production. This will
increase ice production
for the following
48 hours or until you
press the pad again.
Door Alarm
To set the alarm,
press this pad until the

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.

Care and cleaning of the refrigerator.
Cleaning the Outside
The dispenser drip area
(on some models)
,
beneath the grille, should be wiped dry. Water
left in this area may leave deposits. Remove
the deposits by adding undiluted vinegar to
the well. Soak until the deposits disappear
or become loose enough to rinse away.
The dispenser cradle
(on some models).
Before cleaning, lock the dispenser by
pressing and holding the
LOCK CONTROL
pad for 3 seconds. Clean with warm
water and baking soda solution – about
a tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda to
a quart (1 liter) of water. Rinse thoroughly
and wipe dry.
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.
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. 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.
