IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING!
Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owners 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.
DANGER! RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT

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.

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 (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.

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.

CONNECTING THE REFRIGERATOR
TO THE HOUSE WATER LINE
(icemaker and dispenser models)
A cold water supply is required for
automatic icemaker and dispenser
operation. If there is not a cold water
supply, you will need to provide one.
See “Installing the Water Line” section.
NOTES:
Before making the connection to the
refrigerator, be sure the refrigerator
power cord is not plugged into the wall
outlet.
If your refrigerator does not have a
water filter, we recommend installing
one if your water supply has sand or
particles that could clog the screen
of the refrigerators water valve. Install
it in the water line near the refrigerator.
If using GE SmartConnect Refrigerator
Tubing Kit, you will need an additional
tube (WX08X10002) to connect the filter.
Do not cut plastic tube to install filter.
If you are using copper tubing, place a
compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) onto
the end of the tubing coming from the
house cold water supply.
If you are using the GE SmartConnect
tubing, the nuts are already assembled
to the tubing.
If you are using copper tubing, insert
the end of the tubing into the refrigerator
connection, at the back of the refrigerator,
as far as possible. While holding the
tubing, tighten the fitting.
If you are using GE SmartConnect
tubing, insert the molded end of the
tubing into the refrigerator connection,
at the back of the refrigerator, and tighten
the compression nut until it is hand tight.
Then tighten one additional turn with a
wrench. Overtightening may cause leaks.

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 1.800.661.1616).
• A cold water supply. The water pressure must
be between 20 and 120 p.s.i. (1.48.1 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.

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.
CHOOSE THE VALVE LOCATION

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

Normal operating sounds.
Newer refrigerators sound different from older refrigerators.
Modern refrigerators have more features and use newer
technology.
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.
Sometimes the refrigerator runs for an extended period,
especially when the doors are opened frequently. This
means that the
Frost Guard
feature is working to
prevent freezer burn and improve food preservation.
You may hear a whooshing sound when the doors close.
This is due to pressure equalizing within the refrigerator.
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.
If either door is open for over 3 minutes, you may
hear the fans come on in order to cool the light
bulbs.
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.
Electronic dampers click open and closed to provide
optimal cooling and energy savings.
The compressor may cause a clicking or chirping
sound when attempting to restart (this could take
up to 5 minutes).
The electronic control board may cause a clicking
sound when relays activate to control refrigerator
components.
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.
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.
Do you hear what I hear? These sounds are normal.

FonctionnementMesures decurité Installation
Initialement, réglez le réglage de votre compartiment réfrigération en position et celui de5
votre compartiment congélation en position et attendez 12–24 heures que la température se5
stabilise.
Plusieurs ajustements peuvent être requis. Ajustez le réglage une unité à la fois, et attendez
12 heures après chaque ajustement que le réfrigérateur atteigne la température que vous
avez réglée.
Le fait de placer les réglages sur 0 arrête le refroidissement de votre compartiment
réfrigérateur et congélateur, mais n’affecte pas l’alimentation électrique du réfrigérateur.
Sur certains modèles, seulement le réglage de réfrigérateur a une position de 0.
Réglages par touche tactile
Si vous ajustez l’un des deux réglages en position , l’autre se mettra automatiquement en0
position 0. Les zéros clignoteront jusqu’à ce que vous régliez votre réfrigérateur.
Si les deux réglages sont en position et vous appuyez sur l’une des deux touches tactiles0
COLDER (plus froid), les réglages se remettront automatiquement en position 5.
Vous devez régler la température de votre réfrigérateur en fonction de vos préférences, votre
usage et vos conditions d’utilisation et cela peut nécessiter plus d’un réglage.
NOTE : Sur certains modèles, le réfrigérateur est expédié avec une pellicule de protection couvrant les
commandes de température. Si cette pellicule n’a pas été retirée au cours de l’installation faites-le

Lorsque vous vous absentez pendant une
riode prolone, videz et débranchez le
frirateur. Nettoyez l’inrieur avec une
solution d’eau et de bicarbonate de soude,
à raison d’une cuillère à soupe (15 ml)
de bicarbonate par pinte (1 litre) d’eau.
Laissez les portes ouvertes.
Mettez l’interrepteur d’alimentation
de la machine à glons à la position
OFF (arrêt)
et fermez l’alimentation
deau aufrigérateur.
Si la temrature risque de descendre sous
le point de conlation, demandez à un
parateur de vidanger la conduite deau
afin d’éviter les dégâts sérieux causés par
les inondations.
Entretien et nettoyage du réfrigérateur.
Derrière le réfrig rateuré
Prenez un soin particulier lorsque vous
éloignez le réfrirateur du mur. Tous les
types de retements de sol peuvent être
endommagés, particulièrement ceux qui
sont coussinés ou dont la surface est gaufrée.
Tirez le réfrirateur en ligne droite et,
lorsque vous le remettez en place, poussez-
le vers le mur en ligne droite. Les
déplacements laraux du réfrirateur
pourraient endommager le revêtement
de sol ou le réfrirateur.
Lorsque vous remettez le réfrigérateur en place
en le poussant, veillez à ne pas le faire rouler sur
le cordon d’alimentation ou sur la conduite d’eau
de la machine à glaçons.
Départ en vacances
D m nagementé é
Immobilisez tous les éléments amovibles,
tels que les clayettes et les bacs, à l’aide
de ruban gommé pour éviter de les
endommager.
Si vous utilisez un charriot pour ménager
le réfrirateur, ne laissez jamais le devant
ou le derrière du réfrirateur reposer
contre le charriot. Cela pourrait
endommager lefrigérateur. Ne
transportez lefrigérateur que par
les côtés.
Assurez-vous que le réfrirateur demeure debout
pendant son déménagement.
