WARNING
DANGER
CAUTION
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
To reduce the risk of fire, explosion, electric shock, or injury when using your
refrigerator follow these basic safety precautions:
WARNING
Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water
when they are cold. Glass shelves and covers may break if
exposed to sudden temperature changes or impact, such
as bumping or dropping. Tempered glass is designed to
shatter into many small pieces if it breaks.
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.
Do not refreeze frozen foods which have thawed
completely.
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 ice making mechanism
while the refrigerator is plugged in.
To reduce the risk of injury when using your refrigerator, follow these basic
safety precautions.
This refrigerator must be properly installed and located in
accordance with the Installation Instructions before it is
used.
Unplug the refrigerator before making repairs, replacing a
light bulb, or cleaning.
Note: Power to the refrigerator cannot be disconnected by
any setting on the control panel.
Note: Repairs must be performed by a qualified service
professional.
Replace all parts and panels before operating.
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
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.
To prevent suffocation and entrapment hazards to
children, remove the fresh food and freezer doors from any
refrigerator before disposing of it or discontinuing its use.
Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang on the door
handles or the shelves in the refrigerator. They could
seriously injure themselves.
CAUTION
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.

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.
WARNING
Tip Over Hazard.
Built-in style models (model PYE, CYE, GYE, PWE, CWE, and ZWE) are top heavy, especially with any doors
open. These models must be secured with the anti-tip floor bracket to prevent tipping forward, which
could result in death or serious injury. Read and follow the entire installation instructions for installing
the anti-tip floor bracket packed with your refrigerator.
INSTALLATION
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. Do not use an adapter.
The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own
individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating
that matches the rating plate.
A 115 Volt AC, 60 Hz, 15- or 20-amp fused, grounded
electrical supply is required. 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING
Suffocation and child entrapment hazard.
Remove fresh-food and freezer doors from the refrigerator, prior to disposal. Failure to do so can
result in child entrapment which can lead to death or brain damage.
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 fresh food and freezer 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.
PROPER DISPOSAL OF YOUR OLD REFRIGERATOR
IMPORTANT:
SAFETY (CONT.)
WARNING
Scalding Hazard.
The hot water dispenser is capable of heating water to a temperature of approximately 185°F (85°C).
Water temperatures above 125°F (52°C) can cause severe burns or death from scalding. Children, the
disabled, and the elderly are at highest risk of being scalded.
Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner’s Manual. To reduce the risk of severe burns,
scald injuries, or death when using your hot water dispenser, the instructions below must be followed:
HOT WATER DISPENSER
Do not permit children to use the hot water dispenser.
The hot water dispensing knob requires both twist and
push motions in order to reduce the risk of hot water being
dispensed unintentionally or by small children. Do not
tamper with or modify the hot water dispensing knob.
The water coming from the dispenser is very hot. Use
extreme caution when dispensing and drinking water. Allow
water to cool to a drinkable temperature before drinking.
When dispensing water below 125ÛF, always test the
temperature of the water before drinking.
When dispensing hot water, the container can become
very hot. Use a temperature insulating container, such as
ceramic or foam. Using container materials such as paper
or plastic may result in a burn while holding the cup. Do
not use glass containers, as thermal shock can cause the
container to break and may result in scalding or lacerations.
Always follow the formula manufacturer’s instructions for
preparation of baby formula.
Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of
unknown quality.
Your container should be close to the dispensing point to
minimize the splashing of hot water.
A newly installed water filter cartridge will cause water to
spurt from the dispenser. Run 2 gallons of water through
the cold water dispenser (about 5 minutes) to remove air
from the system. Until this air is removed from the system
through the cold water dispenser, DO NOT use the hot
water dispenser as it may result in spurting of hot water and
lead to hot water scalding.
The first time the hot water feature is used, confirm if
you live above 5000 feet (high altitude). This limits the
temperature of the hot water system to avoid boiling. To
access the high altitude selection, go to the settings menu.
The hot water dispenser is designed to only dispense water.
Do not attempt to heat or dispense anything other than
water. Do not attempt to disassemble or clean the tank.
The hot water dispensing tank is a non-pressurized tank,
with a vent on the tank and a dispenser tube outlet. Do
not modify the system, close or block the dispense tube, or
connect any other type of device to the tank or dispense
tube. Doing so may lead to rupture of the tank and hot
water scalding.

About the dispenser. (CFE & CYE Models Only)
Dispenser tray
Important Facts About Your Dispenser
Do not add ice from trays or bags to the door ice maker
bucket. It may not crush or dispense.
Avoid overfilling glass with ice and use of narrow glasses.
Backed-up ice can jam the chute or cause the door in the
chute to freeze shut. If ice is blocking the chute remove the ice
bucket, poke it through with a wooden spoon.
Beverages and foods should not be quick-chilled in the
door ice maker bin. Cans, bottles or food packages in the
storage drawer may cause the ice maker or auger to jam.
To keep dispensed ice from missing the glass, put the glass
close to, but not touching, the dispenser opening.
Some crushed ice may be dispensed even though you
selected CUBED ICE. This happens occasionally when a few
cubes accidentally get directed to the crusher.
After crushed ice is dispensed, some water may drip from the
chute.
Sometimes a small mound of snow will form on the door in the
ice chute. This condition is normal and usually occurs when you
have dispensed crushed ice repeatedly. The snow will eventually
evaporate.
If no water is dispensed when the refrigerator is first installed,
there may be air in the water line system. Press the dispenser
paddle for at least five minutes to remove trapped air from the
water line and to fill the water system. To flush out impurities in
the water line, throw away the first six full glasses of water.
To remove Dispenser Tray
Pull Dispenser Tray out until it stops.
Locate tab in the center on the bottom and push up.
Pull Dispenser Tray assembly out.
Lift metal Dispenser Tray out at center notch to clean.
To reinstall Dispenser Tray
Place the Dispenser Tray cover on top of catch tray and
position under the two plastic retainers on either side.
Center Dispenser tray, and align with center guides.
Push in until is firmly in place.
Water & Ice Dispenser
(See About the controls
with temperature settings &
About the control features)
To Use the Internal Water Dispenser (CWE Models Only)
The water dispenser is located on
the left wall inside the refrigerator
compartment.
To dispense water:
Hold the glass against the recess.
Push the water dispenser button.
Hold the glass underneath the
dispenser for 2–3 seconds after
releasing the dispenser button. Water
may continue to dispense after the
button is released.
If no water is dispensed when the refrigerator is first installed,
there may be air in the water line system. Press the dispenser
button for at least 5 minutes to remove trapped air from the
water line and to fill the water system. During this process,
the dispenser noise may be loud as the air is purged from the
water line system. To flush out impurities in the water line,
throw away the first 6 glassfuls of water.
NOTE: To avoid water deposits, the dispenser should be
cleaned periodically by wiping with a clean cloth or sponge.
WARNING
Laceration Hazard
Never put fingers or any other object into ice crusher
discharge opening. Doing so can result in contacting the ice
crushing blades and lead to serious injury or amputation
Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice. A delicate glass may
break and result in personal injury.
About the GE
®
RPWFE water filter cartridge.
11
*Select Models Only
Water Filter Cartridge
The water filter cartridge is located in the fresh food interior
on the left side wall, near the top.
This product uses radio frequency identification (RFID) to
detect leaks and monitor filter status. The RFID technology is
certified by the FCC.
When to replace the filter cartridge
The filter cartridge should be replaced every six months or
earlier if 170 gallons of water has been dispensed or the flow of
water to the dispenser or icemaker decreases.
Touch Screen Models: A filter status message will appear on
the screen when the water filter needs to be replaced. The filter
status will automatically update when the filter is replaced.
Non-touch Screen Models: A filter indicator light will illuminate
on the screen when the water filter needs to be replaced.
Removing the filter cartridge
To replace the filter, first remove the old cartridge by opening
the filter door and pulling on the bottom of the cartridge to allow
it to swing outward. When the cartridge can no longer swing,
gently pull to unseat it from the cartridge holder. DO NOT TWIST
CARTRIDGE. A small amount of water may drip out.
Installing the Filter Cartridge
1. Align top of filter cartridge with cartridge holder with the word
“FRONT” facing outward then push the cartridge toward
the rear of the unit until it is fully seated. DO NOT TWIST THE
FILTER CARTRIDGE!
2. While continuing to ensure cartridge is fully seated in the
holder, gently swing the filter inward until it is in position. If
filter will not swing easily, check to ensure filter is properly
aligned and fully seated within the cartridge holder. Close the
filter door.
3. Run two gallons of water through the cold water dispenser
(about 5 minutes) to remove air from the system. A newly
installed filter cartridge will cause water to spurt from the
dispenser. Use a large pitcher or sports bottle to catch the
water spray. DO NOT use hands-free auto-fill (some models)
until all air is removed from the system.
4. Reset Filter Status message (non-touch screen models).
WARNING
Scalding Hazard.*
Use of the hot water dispenser prior to purging air from the
system may result in spurting of hot water and lead to hot water
scalding. Follow the instructions above to purge all air from the
system through the cold water dispenser prior to using the hot
water dispenser.
Note: It is normal for water to appear discolored during the initial
system flush. Water color will return to normal after first few
minutes of dispensing.
Filter Bypass Plug
To reduce the risk of property damage due to water leakage,
you MUST use the filter bypass plug when a replacement filter
cartridge is not available. Some models do not come equipped
with the filter bypass plug. To obtain a free bypass plug, call
800-GECARES. In Canada, call 800.561.3344. The dispenser and
icemaker will not operate without either the filter or bypass plug
installed. The bypass plug is installed in the same way as a filter
cartridge.

About the automatic ice maker.
A newly installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24 hours to begin making ice.
Automatic Ice maker (on some models)
The ice maker will produce seven cubes
per cycle approximately 100–130 cubes
in a 24-hour period, depending on freezer
compartment temperature, room temperature,
number of door openings and other use
conditions.
The ice maker will fill with water when it cools to
15°F (–10°C). A newly installed refrigerator may
take 12 to 24 hours to begin making ice cubes.
If the refrigerator is operated before the water
line connection is made to the unit or if the
water supply to an operating refrigerator is
turned off, make sure that the ice maker is
turned off. Once the water has been connected
to the refrigerator, the ice maker may be turned
on. See the table below for details.
You may hear a buzzing sound each time the
ice maker fills with water.
Throw away the first few batches of ice to allow
the water line to clear.
Be sure nothing interferes with the sweep of the
feeler arm.
When the bin fills to the level of the feeler
arm, the ice maker will stop producing ice. It is
normal for several cubes to be joined together.
If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes will
become cloudy, taste stale and shrink.
NOTE: In homes with lower-than-average water
pressure, you may hear the ice maker cycle
multiple times when making one batch of ice.

Installation Instructions
CONNECTING THE REFRIGERATOR
TO THE HOUSE WATER LINE
A cold water supply is required for automatic ice maker
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
refrigerator’s 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.
• Before connecting the water line to the house, purge
the house line for at least 2 minutes.
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.

INSTALLING THE WATER LINE
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 (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 (RO)
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 an RO water filter can result
in hollow ice cubes. Some models do not come
equipped with the filter bypass plug. To obtain a
free bypass plug, call 800-GECARES. In Canada call
800.561.3344.
This water line installation is not warranted by the
refrigerator or ice maker 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.
For LCD Models: If the refrigerator is operated
before the water connection is made to the ice
maker, see ICE MAKER under “settings” menu of
the LCD Operations section and follow the screen
commands to turn the ice maker OFF.
Do not install the ice maker 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.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
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:
8’ (2.4 m) – WX08X10006
15’ (4.6 m) – WX08X10015
25’ (7.6 m) – WX08X10025
Installation Instructions
INSTALLING THE WATER LINE (cont.)
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. (1.4–8.1 bar).
• Power drill.
• 1/2” or adjustable wrench.
• Straight and Phillips blade screwdriver.
• Two 1/4” outer diameter compression nuts

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.
WHAT YOU WILL NEED (CONT.)
SHUT OFF THE MAIN WATER SUPPLY
Turn on the nearest faucet long enough to clear
the line of water.
Install the shutoff valve on the nearest frequently
used drinking water line.
1
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
2
DRILL THE HOLE FOR THE VALVE
3
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.
37
Installation Instructions
38
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. Over
tightening may cause leaks.

INSTALLING THE WATER LINE (cont.)
Normal operating conditions.
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.
You may hear a whooshing sound when the doors close. This is
due to pressure equalizing within the refrigerator.
After dispensing ice, a motor will close the ice chute to keep
warn room air from entering the ice bucket, maintaining ice at a
freezing temperature.
The hum of the motor closing the ice chute is normal, shortly after
dispensing ice.
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.
Expansion and contraction of cooling coils during and after
defrost can cause a cracking or popping sound.
On models with an ice maker, after an ice making 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 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 conditions are normal.
39
START UP COOLING
It can take up to 24 hours for the refrigerator and freezer
temperatures to match the display. During that time refrigerator and
freezer door openings should be minimized.
TIPS
Freezer cools first.
Refrigerator compartment cools last; it may take several
hours after the freezer.
Turning off ice maker makes both fresh food and freezer
food cool faster.

Truth or Myth? Answer Explanation
The refrigerator water filter may require replacement
prior to six months of use
TRUE The water filter indicator will indicate the need to replace the water
filter every six months or 170 gallons of water dispensed (select models
only). Water quality varies from city to city. If water flow from the
dispenser slows, or ice production decreases, the water filter should be
replaced, even though the filter indicator may not indicate the need for
replacement.
The automatic ice maker in my refrigerator will
produce ice when the refrigerator is plugged in to a
power receptacle.
MYTH The refrigerator must be connected to water, and the ice maker must be
turned on. Make sure the ice maker is turned on, only after the water
line is connected and water is turned on. The ice maker can be turned
on/off from the controls and ensure the ice maker is on, as indicated on
the refrigerator control panel. See About the Automatic Ice Maker.
After the refrigerator has been plugged in and
connected to water, I will immediately have unlimited
chilled water available from the water dispenser.
MYTH The water dispenser tank located inside the refrigerator stores water
for dispensing. The water in this tank requires 24 hours to chill after
installation. High usage conditions will not allow time for the water to
chill.
After water dispenses, a few drops of water are
normal.
TRUE A few drops of water may fall from the dispenser, after the dispenser
paddle has been released. To minimize the drops, remove the glass
slowly from the dispenser.
I will never see frost inside the freezer compartment. MYTH Frost inside the freezer typically indicates that the door is not properly
sealed, or has been left open. If frost is found, clear the frost using a
plastic spatula and towel, then check to ensure that no food packages
or containers are preventing the freezer door from closing. Check the
refrigerator control panel to ensure the door alarm is on.

Truth or Myth? Answer Explanation
When the refrigerator is installed, or after replac-
ing the water filter, I must dispense water for five
minutes.
TRUE
A newly installed refrigerator or water filter contains air in the water lines.
Press the dispenser paddle and dispense cold water for at least 5 minutes
to remove air from the water line, and flush the filter.
To fill the ice bucket to the maximum capacity, I
should dispense 12 and 18 hours after installation.
TRUE Dispensing 3-4 cubes 12 hours and 18 hours after installation, allows
ice to disperse within the ice bucket, which in turns calls on the ice
maker to produce additional ice. Normal ice production = 100 cubes in
24 hours.
I can use the water filter bypass plug to determine if
the filter requires replacement.
TRUE Decrease in flow from the water dispenser, or decreased ice production,
may indicate the need to replace the water filter. Install the water filter
bypass plug (provided with the refrigerator on some models*), and
check flow from the dispenser. If water flow returns to normal with the
bypass plug in place, replace the water filter.
The top of the refrigerator doors will always be
aligned.
MYTH Several things can affect the fresh food door alignment, including the
floor the refrigerator is installed on and loading of doors. If the top of
the fresh food doors are not aligned, use a 1/4” allen wrench to adjust
the right/left hand door. The adjustment screw is located on the bottom
right or left hand side of the door; open the freezer door to access the
screw.
Refrigerator door handles can be easily tightened. TRUE If door handles are loose or have a gap, the handle can be adjusted
using a 1/8” allen wrench, on set screws located on the ends of the
handles.
There may be odor and taste problems with your ice. TRUE After starting the ice maker throw away 24 hours of ice production to
avoid odor and taste problems.
I can make fine adjustments to the fresh food doors
to align them.
TRUE If the fresh food doors are not aligned, use a 1/4” Allen wrench to adjust
the right hand door. The adjustment screw is located on the bottom of
the right/left door. Open the freezer door to access.
Door handles should always be removed for
installation.
MYTH Check chart on reverse side of this instruction. If the doors must be
removed do not remove the handles, or if the refrigerator will fit easily
through the passage way opening. Adjust handles that are loose or
have a gap, by adjusting 1/8” set screws on either end of handles.
Door removal is always required for installation. MYTH Check chart on reverse side of this instruction. Doors should only be
removed when necessary to prevent damage from passage way or
access to final location.
Refrigerator doors that won’t close after installation,
can be adjusted to close properly.
TRUE Door mechanism works best if installed at 90°+. If installed at 180°,
remove the door from the mid hinge, and swing the door 180° before
reinstalling. See Reinstalling the Refrigerator Doors.
There is an adjustment to rear wheels. MYTH Front leveling legs are adjustable and should be used to balance the
refrigerator. Leveling legs are used to make initial fresh food door
adjustment.
Check for leaks after all water connections are made. TRUE While purging the air from the water system, check all water line
connections for leaks. Check the connection to the household water
supply at back of refrigerator, and door water line connect.
My LCD display will always be on when I plug the
power cord in at installation.
MYTH If the refrigerator has been stored in a cold environment, the LCD may
be slow to give a proper display. Give the refrigerator enough time to
warm up, and the display should be okay.
Any packaging residue can be cleaned off the
refrigerator using any cleaner.
MYTH Do not use wax, polish, bleach, or other products containing chlorine
on Stainless Steel panels, door handles and trim. Check this instruction
under “Cleaning the Outside” for full details.
