GE APPLIANCES 200D2600P016 Profile Refrigerator Owner’s Manual

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 vapoB 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 (100B 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 O (Off) does not remove power to the light circuit.
• Do not refreeze frozen foods which have thawed completely.
• Always clean the CustomCool Tray after thawing food.

A DANGER! RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT

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.

CFC Disposal
Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system that used CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons). CFCs are believed to harm stratospheric ozone.

If you are throwing away your old refrigerator, make sure the CFC refrigerant is removed for proper disposal by a qualified servicer. If you intentionally release this CFC refrigerant you can be subject to fines and imprisonment under provisions of environmental legislation.

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-Iisted (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.

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.

USE OF ADAPTER PLUGS

(Adapter plugs not permitted in Canada)

Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against the use of an adapter plug.

However, if you must use an adapter, where local codes permit, a temporary connection may be made to a properly grounded 2-prong wall outlet by use of a UL-listed adapter available at most local hardware stores.

The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned with the larger slot in the wall outlet to provide proper polarity in the connection of the power cord.

When disconnecting the power cord from the adapter, always hold the adapter in place with one hand while pulling the power cord plug with the other hand. If this is not done, the adapter ground terminal is very likely to break with repeated use.

If the adapter ground terminal breaks, DO NOT USE the refrigerator until a proper ground has been established.

Attaching the adapter ground terminal to a wall outlet cover screw does not ground the appliance unless the cover screw is metal, and not insulated, and the wall outlet is grounded through the house wiring. You should have the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.

READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

About the temperature controls.

Performance Air Flow System

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 1.800.361.3400.)

About TurboCool.™

How it Works
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 refrigerator temperature display will show TC.
After TurboCool is complete, the refrigerator compartment will return to the original setting.

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.

WATER SUPPLY TO THE ICEMAKER (ON SOME MODELS)

If the refrigerator has an icemaker, it will have to be connected to a cold water line. A GE water supply kit (containing tubing, shutoff valve, fittings and instructions) is available at extra cost from your dealer, by visiting our Website at GEAppliances.com (in Canada at geappliances.ca) or from Parts and Accessories, 800.626.2002 (in Canada 1.888.261.3055).

REFRIGERATOR LOCATION

• Do not install the refrigerator where the temperature will go below 60°F (16°C) because it will not run often enough to maintain proper temperatures.
• Do not install the refrigerator where the temperature will go above 100°F (37°C) because it will not perform properly.
• Install it on a floor strong enough to support it fully loaded.

CLEARANCES

Allow the following clearances for ease of installation, proper air circulation and plumbing and electrical connections:

ROLLERS

The rollers have 3 purposes:

• Rollers adjust so the door closes easily when opened about halfway. [Raise the front about 5/8² (16 mm) from the floor.]
• Rollers adjust so the refrigerator is firmly positioned on the floor and does not wobble.
• Rollers allow you to move the refrigerator away from the wall for cleaning.

Final leveling adjustments should be made after the refrigerator has been installed.

To adjust the rollers on 25¢, 27¢ and 29¢ models:

• Turn the roller adjusting screws clockwise to raise the refrigerator, counterclockwise to lower it. Use a 3/8² hex socket or wrench, or an adjustable wrench.

DOOR ALIGNMENT

After leveling, make sure that doors are even at the top.
To make the doors even, adjust the refrigerator door.

1. Using a 7/16² socket 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.)
2. After one or two turns of the wrench, open and close the refrigerator door and check the alignment at the top of the doors.

DIMENSIONS AND SPECIFICATIONS
(for CustomStyle™ models)

INSTALLING THE WATER LINE (ON SOME MODELS)

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

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.

If the water supply to the refrigerator is from a Reverse Osmosis Water Filtration System AND the refrigerator also has a water filter, use the refrigerator’s filter bypass plug. Using the refrigerator’s water filtration cartridge in conjunction with the RO filter can result in hollow ice cubes and slower water flow from the water dispenser.

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.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED

• Copper or GE SmartConnect™ Refrigerator Tubing kit, 1/4² 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 10² [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¢ (.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.

• 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 (in Canada 1.888.261.3055).
• A cold water supply. The water pressure must be between 20 and 120 p.s.i. (1.4–8.1 bar).

Install the shutoff valve on the nearest frequently used drinking water line.

Normal operating sounds.

These sounds are normal and are due mostly to highly efficient operation.
