CONNECTING ELECTRICITY
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard.
Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet
Do not remove the ground prong
Do not use an adapter
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.
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. 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.
USE OF EXTENSION 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 United States) or
a CSA-listed (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.
PROPER DISPOSAL OF YOUR OLD REFRIGERATOR
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.
IMPORTANT:
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:
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.
„ Take off the fresh food and freezer doors.
„ Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily
climb inside.

Important
facts about
your ice
& water
dispenser
• Do not add ice from trays or bags to the
storage bin. It may not crush or dispense well.
• 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, push it through with a wooden spoon.
• Beverages and foods should not be quickchilled in the ice storage bin. Cans, bottles or
food packages in the storage bin may cause
the icemaker or auger to jam.
• To keep dispensed ice from missing the glass,
put the glass close to, but not touching, the
dispenser opening.
Access Door
Ice Storage Bin
Rotate
Drive
Mechanism
• Sometimes a mound of ice chips will form
on the door in the ice chute. This condition
is normal and usually occurs when you have
dispensed crushed ice repeatedly. The ice
chips will eventually evaporate.
• Dispensed water is not ice cold. For colder
water, simply add crushed ice or cubes before
dispensing water.
• The first glass of water dispensed may be
warmer than the following ones. This is
normal.
• To eliminate drips on the spill shelf, tilt the
glass in slightly when dispensing water.
• Some crushed ice may be dispensed even
though you selected CUBES. 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 as small particles of
ice melt.

When the refrigerator has been connected to the
water supply, set the power switch to ON.
Throw away the first full bucket of ice.
Be sure nothing interferes with the sweep of the
feeler arm.
When the bin fills to the level of the feeler arm,
the icemaker 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: Icemaker works best between 40 and 120
PSI home water pressure.

How it Works
The Climate Control feature is a system of
dampers, a fan, a temperature thermistor, and a
heater. The Climate Control drawer can be used to
chill items quickly, thaw foods quickly or store items
at their optimum temperatures.
The drawer is tightly sealed to prevent the drawer’s
temperature from causing temperature fluctuations
in the rest of the refrigerator.
6(/(&77(03³Use this feature to store items
at their optimum temperatures. The CITRUS
setting will maintain a drawer temperature of
39–47°F by cycling a small heater off and on as
needed. The PRODUCE setting will maintain the
drawer temperature at 31–38°F by drawing in
additional cold air as needed. The MEAT setting
will maintain the drawer temperature at 27–37°F
by drawing in additional cold air as needed.
(;35(667+$:³This feature thaws items
in hours rather than days. Food is gently
thawed in a cool environment by circulating
air throughout the drawer. Temperature is
maintained in the drawer by cycling a small
KHDWHURIIDQGRQDVQHHGHG2QFHWKHWKDZ
cycle is complete, the pan will automatically
adjust to a temperature of 27–37°F to store
the food at its optimum temperature.
NOTE: By turning the controls on the Climate
Control drawer off, the drawer can be used as
a standard sealed produce pan.

NOTE: For food safety reasons, it is
recommended that foods be wrapped in
plastic wrap when using Express Thaw.™
This will help contain meat juices and
improve thawing performance.
• During Express Thaw™ and Express Chill,™
the display on the controls will count down
the time remaining in the cycle.
• After the Express Thaw™ cycle is complete,
the drawer will reset to the MEAT setting
(27–37°F) to help preserve thawed items
until they are used.

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.
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.
6WDLQOHVVVWHHO³Regularly 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 and the Monogram polishing cloth
are available through GE Parts and Accessories,
800.626.2002, or monogram.com. For Stainless
Steel Magic, order part number WX10X15. For

• The new variable speed compressor is designed to run for longer
periods of time to optimize efficiency and noise. You may notice
the compressor and/or fan speeds accelerate based upon door
openings and/or increased food loads.
• 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.
• Door left open or package holding door open.
• If either door is open for over 3 minutes, you may hear the fans

– You may hear a whooshing or gurgling sound when the doors close.
This is due to pressure equalizing within the refrigerator.
– A water dripping noise may occur during the defrost cycle as ice
melts from the evaporator and flows into the drain pan.
– The flow of refrigerant through the freezer 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.
– You may hear cracking or popping sounds when the refrigerator
is first plugged in or during/after the defrost cycle. This happens as
the refrigerator cools to the correct temperature.
– Electronic dampers click open and closed to provide optimal cooling
and energy savings.
– The compressor may cause a clicking or chirping sound when
attempting to restart (this could take up to 5 minutes).
– The electronic control board may cause a clicking sound when relays
activate to control refrigerator components.
– Ice cubes dropping into the bin and water running in pipes
as icemaker refills.
– The icemaker water valve will buzz when the icemaker fills
with water.
