CONNECTING ELECTRICITY

WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet
Do not remove the ground prong
Do not use an adapter
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.
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 tomake 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.
Immediately discontinue use of a damaged supply cord. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a qualified service professional with an authorized service part from the manufacturer.
When moving the refrigerator away from the wall, be careful not to roll over or damage the power cord.

Press the dispenser button and run 1½ gallons (5.67 liters) 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.

RPWFE WATER FILTER

WATER FILTER CARTRIDGE
The water filter cartridge is located in the refrigerator interior on the left side wall, near the top.
Select models use radio frequency identification (RFID) to detect leaks and monitor filter status. The RFID technology is certified by the FCC.

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 cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.”
“This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.”
When to Replace the Filter Cartridge
The filter cartridge should be replaced every six months  or earlier if 170 gallons (643.52 liters) 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
DO NOT TWIST CARTRIDGE! Twisting may damage refrigerator or filter.

  1. Remove the old cartridge by opening the filter door and pulling on the bottom of the cartridge to allow it to swing outward.
  2. When the cartridge can no longer swing, gently pull to unseat from the cartridge holder. A small amount of water may drip out.

DO NOT TWIST CARTRIDGE!
Installing the Filter Cartridge

  1. Center the cartridge with cartridge holder with the word FRONT facing outward. Push the cartridge inward until it is fully seated. FRONT should be centered with the cartridge holder for proper installation. The RED indicators should not be visible.
    MONOGRAM ZWE23 French Door Bottom Freezer Freestanding Refrigerator -
swing

  2. While continuing to ensure cartridge is fully seated in the holder, gently swing the filter inward until it is in position. Iffilter will not swing easily, check to ensure filter is properlyaligned and fully seated within the cartridge holder.

  3. For dispenser models – Run two gallons (7.75 Liters) 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.
    NOTE: It is normal for water to appear discolored during the initial system flush. Water color will return to normal after the first few minutes of dispensing. For icemaker-only models – Discard the first bin of ice to allow air to purge from the system. A newly installed filter cartridge will cause water to spurt into the icemaker
    body, which could lead to ice droplets around the icemaker area.
    NOTE: It is normal for these droplets and initial ice production to appear discolored during the initial system flush. Ice color will return to normal after the first bin of ice production.
    DO NOT use the hot water dispenser or Autofill function until all air is removed from the system.

  4. Reset Filter status message (non-touch screen models).
    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. Some models do not come equipped with the filter bypass plug. To obtain a free bypass plug, visit us on-line at geappliances.com/service. In Canada, visit geappliances.ca/service. The dispenser and icemaker will not operate without either the filter or the bypass plug installed. The bypass plug is installed in the same way as a filter cartridge.

WARNING
To reduce the risk associated with choking, do not allow children under 3 years of age to have access to small parts during the installation of this product.
The disposable filter cartridge should be replaced every 6 months at the rated capacity, or sooner if a noticeable reduction in flow rate occurs. For the maximum benefit of your filtration system, GE Appliances, a Haier company, recommends the use of GE Appliances-branded filters only. Using GE Appliancesbranded filters in GE Appliances refrigerators provides optimal performance and reliability. Our filters meet rigorous industry NSF standards for safety and quality that are important for products that are filtering your water. There is no assurance that brands other than GE Appliances filters meet our standards for quality, performance and reliability.

AUTOMATIC ICEMAKER

**AUTOMATIC ICEMAKER*
NOTE:** A newly installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24 hours to begin making ice.

WARNING
Connect to potable water supply only.
A cold water supply is required for automatic icemaker operation. The water pressure must be between 40 and 120 psi (275-827 kilopascals).
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.
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.
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 icemaker is turned off. Once the water has been connected to the refrigerator, the icemaker may be turned on. See the table below for details.
You may hear a buzzing sound each time the icemaker fills with water.
Throw away the first bin of ice to allow the water line to clear. It is normal for ice to appear discolored in the first 24 hours of production, or after water filter replacement.
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.
CAUTION To minimize the risk of personal injury, 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.

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. 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.
Do not wash any plastic refrigerator parts in the dishwasher.
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.

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.
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
When pushing the refrigerator back, make sure you don’t roll over the power cord or icemaker supply line.

PREPARING FOR VACATION

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.
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 icemaker (pg. 18).
Upon returning from vacation:

  1. Replace the water filter.
  2. Run 2 gallons (7.57 liters) of water through the cold water dispenser (about 5 minutes) to flush the system.

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.

THE PROBLEM SOLVER

NORMAL OPERATING SOUNDS
Newer refrigerators sound different from older refrigerators.
Modern refrigerators have more features and use newer technology.
Do you hear what I hear? These sounds are normal.

HUMMM…
WHOOSH…

  • The new high efficiency compressor may run faster and longer than your old refrigerator and you may hear a high-pitched hum or pulsating sound while it is operating.
  • You may hear a whooshing sound when the doors close. This is due to pressure equalizing within the refrigerator.
  • After dispensing ice, a motor will close the ice chute to keep warn room air from entering the ice bucket, maintaining ice at a freezing temperature.

The hum of the motor closing the ice chute is normal, shortly after dispensing ice.

WHIR !

  • You may hear the fans spinning at high speeds. This happens when the refrigerator is first plugged in, when the doors are opened frequently or when a large amount of food is added to the refrigerator or freezer compartments. The fans are helping to maintain the correct temperatures.
  • The fans change speeds in order to provide optimal cooling and energy savings.

CLICKS, POPS, CRACKS and CHIRPS

  • You may hear cracking or popping sounds when the refrigerator is first plugged in. This happens as the refrigerator cools to the correct temperature.
  • Expansion and contraction of cooling coils during and after defrost can cause a cracking or popping sound.
  • On models with an icemaker, after an ice making cycle, you may hear the ice cubes dropping into the ice bucket.
  • On models with a dispenser, during water dispense, you may hear the water lines move at initial dispense and after dispenser button is released.

WATER SOUNDS

  • The flow of refrigerant through the cooling coils may make a gurgling noise like boiling water.
  • Water dropping on the defrost heater can cause a sizzling, popping or buzzing sound during the defrost cycle.
  • A water dripping noise may occur during the defrost cycle as ice melts from the evaporator and flows into the drain pan.
  • Closing the door may cause a gurgling sound due to pressure equalization.

For additional information on normal icemaker and dispenser operating sounds, see the
Automatic Icemaker and Internal Water Dispenser sections.
