Keep fingers out of dm
"pinch point" areas;
clearances between tile
doors and bem'een tile doors
and cabinet are necessarily

IMPORTANT:
PROPERDISPOSALOFTHEREFRIGERATOR
Child enuapment and suflbcafion are not problems of
lhe past. Junked or abandoned refigerau_rs are slill
dangerous...even if lhey _dll sit for ".just a few days."
If you are gelling rid of}xmr old refigerator, please
follow the instnlclions below to help prevent accidents.
Before You ThrowAway YourOld Refrigerator
or Freezer:
Take off the doors.
Leave the shelves in place so that children may not
easily climb inside.
CFCDisposal
Your old refiigeralor has a cooling system that used
CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons). CFCs are believed to harm
stratospheric ozone.
If you are throating away }xmr old refigeralor, make
sure the CFC refligerant is removed for proper disposal
by a qualified sel_icer. If you inlenlionally release ibis
CFC refigeranl >)u can be subject to fnes and
imprisonment under provisions of environmental
legislalion.

[, WARNING!
HOWTOCONNECTELECTRICITY
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 _4tl_ a 3-prong
(glounding) plug which mates _4tl_ a standard 3-prong
(glounding) wall outlet to minimize d_e possibility of electric
shock hazard flom this appliance.
Have tl_e wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified elecn_ician
to make sure the oudeI is properly grounded.
Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your
personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced _Stl_ a
properly glounded 3-prong wall outlet.
The refl_igerator should always be plugged into its o_m individual
electrical outlet which has a vohage rating that matches the rating
plate.
This provides d_e best pedbnnance and also prevents overloading
house _fing ci_cuits which could cause a fi_e h_ard flom
oveflmated wi_es.
Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power cord.
Ahvays grip plug firmly and pull straighl out flom the outlet.
Repai_ or replace immediately all power cords dmt have become
flayed or othe_se damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks
or abrasion damage along its lengd_ or at either end.
When moving the refl_igerator mvay flom d_e wall, be careful not to
roll over or damage dm power cord.
USEOFADAPTERPLUGS
(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 adaptor, where local codes permit, a
temporaryconnectionmay be made to a properly g_ounded 2-prong
wall outlet by use ofa UL-listed adapter available at most local
hmdware stores.
background
The larger slot in the adapler must be alig_md _fl_ tim larger slot in
tim wall outer to pro_ide proper polarity in tim connection of tim
power cord.
When disconnecting the power cord tiom tim adapter, ahvays hold
tim adapler in place _dth one hand while pulling the power cord
plug _dfl_ tim other hand. If fl_is is not done, tim adapter ground
terminal is ve D- likely to break _dth repeated use.
If the adapter gTound mnninal breaks, DO NOTUSE tim refiigerator
until a proper ground has been established.

USEOFEXTENSIONCORDS
Because of potential safety hazards under certain
conditions, we strongly recommend against the use of an
extension cord.
However, if you must use an exmnsion coM, it is absolutely
necessa U that it be a UL-listed (in the Unimd Stares) or a CSA-
listed (in Canada), 3-_dre grounding bi)e appliance exlension cord
having a grounding bi)e plug and outlet and that lhe elecwical
rating of tim cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 120 vohs.

Your continued health and safety are important to us.
Please read and follow this Safety Information carefully.
We want you to remain a happy and healthy part of our
GEfamily.

Installing the water line.
Read these instructions completely and carefully.
Before YouBegin
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.
Toprevent bums 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 feeler arm is kept in the STOP (up)
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 insulated or wired
in a manner to prevent the hazard of electric shock.
All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing
code requirements.
