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 smalll.

• 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.

• Setting either or both controls to the Off position does not remove power to the light circuit.

• Do not refreeze frozen foods which have thawed completely.

WARNING Explosion Hazard.
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion, or death.
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.

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.
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.
USE OF ADAPTER PLUGS
Adapter plugs are not permitted in Canada.
READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Recommended copper water supply kits are WX8X2, WX8X3 or WX8xX4, depending on the amount of tubing you need. Approved plastic water supply lines are GE SmartConnect™ Refrigerator Tubing (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.
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, 1/4” 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.
Be sure there is sufficient extra tubing to allow the refrigerator to move out from the wall after installation.
GE SmartConnect™ Refrigerator Tubing Kits are available in the following lengths:
6′(1.8m) – WX08X10006
15’ (4.6 m) -Wx08xX10015
25′(7.6m) -WX08X10025
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).

• Acold water supply. The water pressure must be between 20 and 120 p.s.i. (1.4-8.1 bar).

• Power drill.

• 1/2” or adjustable wrench.

• Straight and Phillips blade screwdriver.

• Two 1/4” outer diameter compression nuts and 2 ferrules (sleeves)—to connect the copper tubing to the shutoff valve and the refrigerator water valve.
  OR

• If you are using a GE SmartConnect™ Refrigerator Tubing kit, the necessary fittings are preassembled to the tubing.

• If your existing copper water line has a flared fitting at the end, you will need an adapter (available at plumbing supply stores} to connect the water line to the refrigerator OR you can cut off the flared fitting with a tube cutter and then use a compression fitting. Do not cut formed end from GE SmartConnect™ Refrigerator tubing.

• Shutoff valve to connect to the cold water line.
  The shutoff valve should have a water inlet with a minimum inside diameter of 5/32” at the point of connection to the COLD WATER LINE. Saddle- type shutoff valves are included in many water supply kits. Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve complies with your local plumbing codes.

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

1. SHUT OFF THE MAIN WATER SUPPLY
   Turn on the nearest faucet long enough to clear the line of water.

2. CHOOSE THE VALVE LOCATION
   Choose a location for the valve that is easily accessible. It is best to connect into the side of a vertical water pipe. When it is necessary to connect into a horizontal water pipe, make the connection to the top or side, rather than at the bottom, to avoid drawing off any sediment from the water pipe.

3. DRILL THE HOLE FOR THE VALVE
   Drill a 1/4” hole in the water pipe (even if using a self-piercing valve}, using a sharp bit. Remove any burrs resulting from drilling the hole in the pipe.
   Take care not to allow water to drain into the drill.
   Failure to drill a 1/4” hole may result in reduced ice production or smaller cubes.

4. FASTEN THE SHUTOFF VALVE
   Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with the pipe clamp.

5. TIGHTEN THE PIPE CLAMP
   Tighten the clamp screws until the sealing washer begins to swell.
   NOTE: Do not overtighten or you may crush the tubing.

6. ROUTE THE TUBING
   Route the tubing between the cold water line and the refrigerator.
   Route the tubing through a hole drilled in the wall or floor (behind the refrigerator or adjacent base cabinet) as close to the wall as possible.

7. CONNECT THE TUBING TO THE VALVE
   Place the compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for copper tubing onto the end of the tubing and connect it to the shutoff valve.
   Make sure the tubing is fully inserted into the valve. Tighten the compression nut securely.
   For plastic tubing from a GE SmartConnect™ Refrigerator Tubing kit, insert the molded end of the tubing into the shutoff valve and tighten compression nut until it is hand tight, then tighten one additional turn with a wrench.
   Overtightening may cause leaks.

8. FLUSH OUT THE TUBING
   Turn the main water supply on and flush out the tubing until the water is clear.
   Shut the water off at the water valve after about one quart (1 liter) of water has been flushed through the tubing.

To complete the installation of the refrigerator, go back to Step 1 in Installing the Refrigerator.

Troubleshooting Tips

Normal operating sounds.
Never 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.

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 SNAPS

• You may hear cracking or popping sounds when the refrigerator is first plugged in. This happens as the refrigerator cools to the correct temperature.
• The freezer control will click when starting or stopping the compressor.
• Defrost timer snapping in and out of the defrost cycle.
• Expansion and contraction of cooling coils during and after defrost can cause a cracking or popping sound.
• On models with an icemaker, after an icemaking 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 freezer 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 operating sounds, see the About the automatic icemaker section.
