WARNING!
HOWTOCONNECTELECTRICITY
Do not, under an},circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
For personal safe_ 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 (grotmding) wall outlet to
minimize the possibili F of electric shock haa_rd
fl'om 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 refl-igerator should alwa D be plugged into its
own individual electrical outlet which has a w)lmge
rating that matches the rating plate.
This provides the best pe_l'ommnce and also
I)re'_ents oxerloading, house wiring circuits which
could cause a fire hazard from oxerheated wires.
Never unplug your refl-igerator by pulling on the
power cord. Mways grip plug firefly and pull
straight out fl'oln the outlet.
Repair or replace immediately all power cords that
have become fl'ayed or otherwise damaged. Do not
use a cord that sho_vs cracks or abrasion damage
along its length or at either end.

Aboutthe controlsonthe refrigerator, w Hot.oi,t.com
Thecontrols on your refrigerator will look like one of the following:
ControlSettings
Initially, set the control(s) at 5 (some models have only one control). Allow 24 hours for the
temperature to stabilize.
Several adjustments may be required. Adjust the control(s) one increment at a time and
aflow 12hours after each adjustment for the refrigerator to reach the temperature you
have set.
Setting the refrigerator control to 0 stops cooling in both the freezer and refrigerator
compartments but does not shut off electrical power to the refrigerator. The freezer
control (on some models) has no effect on electrical power to the refrigerator.
Controlsettings will vary based on personal preferences, usage and operating conditions,
and may require more than one adjustment. Factors that affect temperature include the
amount of food in the refrigerator or freezer, the frequency of door opening and the
temperature of food when it is placed in the refrigerator.

• Top 1" (25 turf)
• Back 1" (25 turf)
If the reti_igerator is to be installed next to a wall on the
hinge side, allow 5/16" (8 roro) door clearance.
ROLLERS (ON SOME MODELS)
The rollers have 3 purposes:
• Rolle_ a(!just so the door closes easil) when opened
ablaut 4:5°.
• Rolle_ at!just so the refl_igerator is firofl) positioned on
the floor and does not wobble.
• Rollet_ allow you to mro,e the refl'igemtor away fl'oro the

WHAT YOU WILL NEED
• Copper or GE SmartCmmect'" Refrigerator Tubing
kit, 1/4" outer diameter to connect the refi'igerator
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 ti'om the water valve on the back of the
reti'igerator t(> 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 10 _' [25 cin]
diameter) to allow the refi'igerator to move otlt froill
the wall aiier installation.
GE Sxnart(;onnect ''_ Refl'igerator Tubing Kits are
available ix] the fi>llowing lengths:
2' (.6 m) - WX08X10002
6' (1.8 m) - X,_X08X10006
15' (4.6 m) - X,_X08X10015
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

refrigerator cools to the correct teil/l)erattlre.
• The compressor may cause a clicking or chirping
sound when attempting to restart (this could take
up to 5 minutes).
• Expansion and contraction of cooling coils during
and after defl'ost can cause a cracking or i)oi)ping
SOtlnd.
• On models with an icemake_; after an icemaking
cycle, you may hear the ice cubes dropping into
