USEOFEXTENSION 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 [Jnited States_or a
C_ A-hsted (in Canada!, 3-wire grounding t_1)eappliance extension cord having a grounding t_1)eplug and outlet
and that the electrical rating of the cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 120 vohs.
GEAppliances.com
,&WARNING!
HOWTOCONNECT 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.
UREpROpE R OROU1D
/// EXISTS BEFOREUSE
The power cord of d_is appliance is equipped wid_ a 3-prong ;grotmding! plug whid_ mates
with a standard 3-prong ;grounding) wall outlet to minimize the possibiliff of electric shock
hazard from this appliance.
Have the wall outlet and circttit d_eckcd by a qualified electridan to make sure the outlet is
properly grounded.
If the outlet is a stm_dard 2-prong outlet, it is your personal responsibiliff and obligation to
have it replaced wid_ a properly grotmded 3-prong wall outlet.
The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own
individual electricN outlet which has a voltage rating that
matches the rating plate.
This provides the best pert})rmance and also prevents
overloading house wiring cirolits whid_ could cause a tire
hazard from covefl_eatedwires.
Never unph g your refrigerator by pulling on the power cord.
_Mwaysgrip plug tirmly and pull straight out from the outlet.
Repair or replace iminediately all power cords dmt 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 FactsAbout YourDispenser
Do not add ice from trays or bags to tile storage bin. It may
not crush or dispense well.
Avoid c0verfilling glass with ice and use of narrow glasses.
Backed-up ice can jam the dmtc or cause the door in the
dmte to freeze shut. If ice is blocldng the chute, poke it
through with a wooden spoon.
Beverages and floods shouM not be quick-dlilled in die ice
storage bin. Cans, bottles or flood pa&ages in the storage bin
may cause the icelnakcr or atger to jam.
To keep dispensed ice from missing the glass, put the glass
dose to, Nit not toudling, the dispenser c0pening
Some crushed ice may be dispensed even though }ou selected
CubedThis happens occasionally when a few cubes have been
left in the crusher.
_M'ter crashed ice is dispensed, some water may drip from the
dmte.
Sometimes a small mound of snow will florm on the door in
the ice dmte. This condition is normal and usually occurs
when you have dispensed crushed ice repeatedly: The snow
will eventually evaporate.
The first glass of water dispensed may be warmer than the
fl01k_ving ones. This is normal.
Dispensed water is not ice cold. For colder ware1; simply add

BEFOREYOUBEGIN
Recommended copper water supply kits are WXSX2,
1\'_28X3 or 1\'_28X4, depending on the amount of ulbing
you need. Approved plastic water supply lines are GE
SmartConnec" Refrigerator Tubing (1\'2_408X10002
1\'2_408X 10006, 1\'LX08X 10015 and 1\'2_408X 10025).
When connecting your refrigerator m a GE Reverse Osmosis
"_\;amr System, the o_fly approved installation
is with a GE R\TKit. For other reverse osmosis water systems,
fi)llow the manuthcmrer's recommendations.
If the water supply to the refrigerator is froln a Reverse
Osmosis Water Filtration System _\'D the refrigerator also
has a water filter, use the refrigerator's filter bypass plug:
[sing the refrigerator's water filtration cartridge in
conjunction with the RO filter cast resuh in hollow ice cubes
and slower water flow from the water dispenser.
This water line installation is not warranted by the
refrigerator or icelnaker mmmfacmrer. Follow these
instructions carefully to minimize the risk of expensive water
damage.
Water hammer iwater 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 heft)re connecting the water line,
make sure the icelnaker power switch is in the 0YYposition.
Do not install the icemaker robing in areas where
telnperamres fall below freezing:
All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing
code requirements.
WARNING - Co,,,,ect to potable water
supply only.
WHAT YOUWiLL NEED
* Copper or GE SmartConnect TM Refrigerator Tubing kit,
1/4" outer diameter to connect the refrigerator to the
water supply. If using copper, be sure bott_ ends of the
robing are cut square.
To determine how much robing 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 robing to allow the refrigerator to move out
from the wall aRer installation.
GE SinartConnec MRefrigerator Tubing Kits are available
in the following lengths:
2' (0.6 in) WX08X10002
6'(1.8 m) WX08Xl0006
15' (4.6 m) WX08X10015
25' (7.6 m) WX08X10025
WHM YOUWiLL NEED(CONT.)
NOTE: The only GE approved plastic robing is that
supplied in GE SmartConnect TM 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.
* AGE water supply kit containing robing, shutoff valve
and fittings listed below'_ is available at extra cost from
your dealer or froln Parts and Accessories,
800.626.2002.
. A cold water supply. The water pressure must be
between 20 and 120 p.s.i. (1.4 8.2 bar) on models without
a water filter and between 40 and 120 p.s.i. (2.8 8.2 bar)
on models with a water filter.
. 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 TM Refrigerator
Tubing kit, the necessary fittings are preasselnbled 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 froln GE SlnartCom_ect TM
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-_pe
shutoff valves are included in many water supply kits.
Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-D_pe valve
COlnplieswith your local plumbing codes. Install the
shutoff valve on the nearest frequently used drinking
water line.

JJ-f]SHUT OFFMAiN WMER SUPPLY
[!] DRILLTHE HOLEFORTHEVALVE
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 tile connection to tile top or side,
rather than at the bottom,
to avoid drawing off"any sediment froln tile
water pipe.
Drill a 1/4" hole in tile water pipe (even if using a self-
piercing valve) using a sharp bit. Rclnove any burrs
resulting from drilling tile hole in tile 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.

as close to tile wall as possible.
NOTE: Be sure there is sufficient extra tubing to allow
tile refrigerator to move out from tile wall after
installation.

If your refrigerator does not have a water filter, we
recommend installing one if your water supply has
sand or particles that could clog tile screen of tile
refrigerator's water valve. Install it in tile water line
near tile refrigerator. If using a GE SmartConnect TM
Refrigerator Tubing kit, you
will need an additional tube (WX08X10002)
