DANGER! RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT
PROPERDISPOSAL OF THE REFRIGERATOR
Childentrapment and suffocation are not problems of
the past. Junked orabandoned refrigerators are still
dangerous_.evenif they will sit for ':justa few dags."
If Uouare getting rid of your old refrigerator,please
follow the instructions belowto help prevent
accidents.
Before You ThrowAway Your Old

old refrigeration product, check with the compang
handling the disposal about what to do.
USEOFEXTENSIONCORDS
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we stronglg recommend against
the use of on extension cord.
However,if you must use an extension cord, it isabsolutely necessary that it be a UL-listed(inthe United States)
or aCSAcertified (inCanada),3-wire grounding tgpe appliance extension cord having a grounding tgpe plug
and outlet andthat the electrical rating of the cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 120volts.

WARNING!
HOW TOCONNECT 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.
The power cord ofthis appliance isequipped
with a 3-prong (grounding)plug which mates
with a standard 3-prong (grounding)wall outlet to
minimize the possibilityof electricshock hazard from
this appliance.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a
qualified electrician to make surethe outlet is
properly grounded.
Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet isencountered,
it is your personalresponsibility and obligation to
have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong
wall outlet.
The refrigerator should always be plugged into its
own individual electricaloutlet which hasa voltage
rating that matches the rating plate.
Thisprovides the best performance and alsoprevents
overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a
fire hazardfrom overheated wires.
Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the
power cord.Always grip plug firmly and pull straight
out from the outlet.
Repairor replaceimmediately 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 rollover or damage the
power cord.

[] CONNECTING THE REFRIGERATOR
TO THE HOUSE WATER LINE
(icemaker models)
A cold water supply isrequired for automatic
icemaker operation. If there isnot a cold water
supply, you will need to provide one. SeeInstalling
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 inthe water line
near the refrigerator. If using GESmartConnecf"
Refrigerator Tubing Kit, you will need an additional
tube (WXO8XIO002)to connect the filter.Do not cut
plastic tube to install filter.
