IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS  
• In refrigerators with an automatic icemaker,  
w WARNING –  
When using  
this appliance, always exercise basic safety  
precautions, including the following:  
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.  
• Use this appliance only for its intended  
purpose as described in this Owner’s Manual.  
• This refrigerator must be properly installed  
in accordance with the Installation  
Instructions before it is used.  
• 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 allow children to climb, stand or  
hang on the shelves in the refrigerator.  
They could damage the refrigerator and  
seriously injure themselves.  
• Unplug your refrigerator before cleaning  
and making repairs. NOTE: We strongly  
recommend that any servicing be performed  
by a qualified individual.  
• After your refrigerator is in operation,  
do not touch the cold surfaces in the  
freezer compartment, particularly when  
hands are damp or wet. Skin may adhere  
to these extremely cold surfaces.  
• Before replacing a burned-out light bulb,  
set the Master Light switch in the OFF  
position to turn off the lights in order to  
avoid contact with a live wire filament.  
(A burned-out light bulb may break when  
being replaced.) NOTE: Setting the

does not remove power to the light circuit.  
• Do not refreeze frozen foods which have  
thawed completely.  
w DANGER: RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT  
Child entrapment and suffocation are not  
problems of the past. Junked or abandoned  
refrigeration products are still dangerous…  
even if they will sit for “just a few days.”  
If you are getting rid of your old appliance,  
please follow these instructions to help  
prevent accidents.  
Before You Throw Away Your Old  
Refrigeration Product:  
Take off the doors.  
Leave the shelves in place so that children  
may not easily climb inside.  
CFC DISPOSAL  
Your old refrigerator may have a cooling  
If you are throwing away an old refrigeration  
product, make sure the CFC refrigerant is  
system that used CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons).  
CFCs are believed to harm stratospheric ozone. removed for proper disposal by a qualified  
servicer. If you intentionally release this  
CFC refrigerant, you can be subject to fines  
and imprisonment under provisions of  
environmental legislation.

AVERTISSEMENT :  
Lorsque vous utilisez le réfrigérateur,  
observez toujours certaines précautions  
de base, notamment :  
• Éloignez les doigts des parties du  
réfrigérateur où l’on peut facilement se  
pincer : les espaces entre les portes et les  
placards sont toujours étroits. Soyez prudent  
lorsque vous fermez les portes de l’appareil  
en présence des enfants.  
• N’utilisez le réfrigérateur que pour son usage  
prévu, comme décrit dans le présent manuel.  
• Installez le réfrigérateur conformément aux  
directives d’installation avant de l’utiliser.  
• Ne laissez pas les enfants grimper, s’asseoir,  
se tenir debout ni se pendre aux clayettes du  
réfrigérateur. Ils pourraient endommager le  
réfrigérateur et se blesser gravement.  
• Débranchez votre réfrigérateur avant  
de le nettoyer et de le réparer.  
REMARQUE : Nous vous recommandons  
vivement de confier toute réparation à un  
technicien qualifié.  
• Une fois le réfrigérateur en marche, ne  
touchez pas les surfaces froides du  
• Avant de remplacer une ampoule grillée,

DO NOT USE AN ADAPTER PLUG TO  
CONNECT THE REFRIGERATOR TO  
A 2-PRONG OUTLET.  
remove the third (ground) prong from the  
power cord. For personal safety, this appliance  
must be properly grounded.  
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD  
WITH THIS APPLIANCE.  
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.  
Never unplug an appliance by pulling on the  
power cord. Always grip the 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.  
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.  
When moving the appliance, be careful not to  
roll over or damage the power cord.  
Use of a GFI (Ground Fault Interruptor) is not  
recommended for the refrigerator outlet.  
The appliance 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.

Drive  
Mechanism  
Do not add ice from trays or bags to the  
storage bin. It may not crush or dispense well.  
Some crushed ice may be dispensed even  
though you selected CUBES. This happens  
occasionally when a few cubes accidentally  
get directed to the crusher.  
Important  
facts about  
your ice  
& water  
dispenser  
Avoid overfilling glass with ice and use of  
narrow or extra-tall glasses. Backed-up ice  
can jam the chute or cause the door in the  
chute to freeze shut. If ice is blocking the  
chute, poke it through with a wooden spoon.  
After crushed ice is dispensed, some water  
may drip from the chute.  
Sometimes a 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.  
Beverages and foods should not be  
quick-chilled in the ice storage bin.  
Cans, bottles or food packages in the  
storage bin may cause the icemaker  
or auger to jam.  
Dispensed water is not ice cold. For colder  
water, simply add crushed ice or cubes  
before dispensing water.  
To keep dispensed ice from missing  
the glass, put the glass close to, but not  
touching, the dispenser opening.  
The first glass of water dispensed may be  
warmer than the following ones. This is  
normal.

Care and Cleaning  
Built-In Refrigerators  
The spill shelf and the  
area beneath it should  
be cleaned periodically  
with a mild liquid dish  
detergent.  
Do not wipe the refrigerator with a soiled  
dish cloth or wet towel. These may leave  
a residue that can damage the finish. Do not  
use scouring pads, powdered cleaners, bleach  
or cleaners containing bleach because these  
products can scratch and damage the finish.  
Cleaning  
outside  
Dispenser cradle–Before cleaning, lock the  
dispenser by touching CONTROL LOCK for  
3 seconds to prevent activating the dispenser.  
Clean with warm water and a mild liquid  
dish detergent. Rinse thoroughly and  
Stainless steel–Regularly clean and polish  
the Stainless Steel Door Panels and Handles  
(on some models) with a commercially  
available stainless steel cleaner such as Stainless  
Steel Magic™ to preserve and protect the fine  
finish. Stainless Steel Magic is available through  
GE Parts and Accessories, 800.626.2002, or  
GEAppliances.com. Order part number  
WX10X15.  
wipe dry. Unlock the dispenser by touching  
CONTROL LOCK for 3 seconds.  
Door handles and trim–Clean with a cloth  
dampened with soapy water. Dry with a soft  
cloth.  
Do not use appliance wax or polish on the  
stainless steel.  
Keep the outside clean. Wipe with a clean  
cloth lightly dampened with mild liquid dish  
detergent. Dry with a clean, soft cloth.  
Turn off power at the circuit breaker or  
fuse box before cleaning. If this is not  
practical, wring excess moisture out of  
sponge or cloth when cleaning around  
switches, lights or controls.  
Other parts of the refrigerator–including  
door gaskets, meat and vegetable drawers,  
ice storage bin and all plastic parts–can be  
cleaned the same way.  
Cleaning  
inside  
Do not wash the tray or any plastic refrigerator  
parts in the dishwasher.  
Use warm water and baking soda solution–  
about a tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda  
to a quart (1 liter) of water. This both cleans  
and neutralizes odors. Thoroughly rinse  
and wipe dry.  
Avoid cleaning cold glass shelves with hot water  
because the extreme temperature difference  
may cause them to break. Handle glass shelves  
carefully. Bumping tempered glass can cause it  
to shatter.

Care and Cleaning  
Built-In Refrigerators  
There is no need for routine condenser  
cleanings in normal home operating  
environments. However, in environments  
that may be particularly dusty or greasy,  
the condenser should be cleaned (at least  
annually) for efficient refrigerator operation.  
Cleaning the  
condenser  
To clean the condenser:  
1. Turn off the power at the circuit breaker  
or fuse box. Wait about 30 minutes for  
the condenser area to cool.  
2. Raise the grille panel at the top of the  
refrigerator.  
3. Use a soft bristle brush to loosen dust and  
lint on the condenser fins. Use a vacuum  
hose to remove soil.  
4. Lower the grille panel.  
5. Turn the power on at the fuse box or  
circuit breaker.  
For long vacations or absences, remove food  
and shut off power to the refrigerator at the  
fuse box or circuit breaker. Clean the interior  
(see Cleaning Inside). Leave doors open.  
For shorter vacations, remove perishable foods  
and leave controls at regular settings. However,  
if the room temperature is expected to drop  
below 60°F (16°C), follow the same instructions  
as for long vacations.  
Preparing  
for vacation  
Set the icemaker power switch to the O (off)  
position and be sure to shut off the water  
supply to the refrigerator.  
Secure all loose items such as grille, shelves  
and drawers by taping them securely in place  
to prevent damage.  
Be sure the refrigerator stays in an upright  
position during moving.
