Before Using Your Icemaker and Dispenser
If you use your refrigerator before
the water connection is made, raise

arm in m in
(up) n)
position position
When water supply has been connected to icem~er,
move feeler arm to ON (down) position.
Depress water dispenser cradle for about two minutes
to remove trapped air from the water line and to fill
water reservoir automatically.
Ice cube mold automatically fills with water after
cooling to freezing temperatures. First cubes norrndly
freeze after several hours.
NOTE: With a newly-installed refrigerator, allow
about 24 hours for the freezer compartment to cool
down to the proper ice-m&ing temperature.
Once Your Icemaker and Dispenser are in Operation
Throw away the first few batches of ice cubes (16 or
24 cubes). This will flush away any impurities in the
water line. Do the same thing after vacations or
extended periods when ice isn’t used.
Discard tie fwst six glassfuls of water in the Mtchen
sink. This will eliminate the slight “plastic” taste
—
temporarily imparted to the water by the water reservoir.
Keep ice level to keep icemaker productive. Cubes
ejected into an empty storage bin will pileup close to
the
icem&er and push the feeler arm up to the STOP
position prematurely when the bin is only partially full.
Open the ice access door, reach in, level the cubes by
hand and
icemaking will resume. Keeping cubes
distributed evenly will allow the
icem~er to produce
enough ice to fill the bin to its maximum capacity.
Under certain mre circumstances, ice cubes maybe

simply add crushed ice or cubes before dispensing water.
To Stop Dispensing
Release pressure from cradle

Some slight dripping may
occur following dispensing
of crushed ice or water. If
excessive, the spill should
be wiped dry immediately.
Do not pour water in spill shelf because it is not self
draining-pour it in kitchen sink. The shelf and its
grille should be cleaned regularly according to Care
and Cleaning instructions.
If Ice Clumps Form in Storage Bin...
The icemaker ejects cubes in groups of eight, and
it is normal for several cubes to be joined together.
However, if you don’t use the ice very often ice
clumps may form in the storage bin and can
clog the dispenser.
If this happens:
● Remove storage bin from freezer compartment.
c Break up ice clumps with fingertip pressure
and discard remaining clumps.
“ Replace bin before remaining cubes melt
and fuse together.
To Remove Ice Cube Storage Bin
Lift the left corner to free
the bin from the shelf, and
pull the bin straight out
while supporting it at front
and back.
To Replace Ice Cube Storage Bin
Slide the bin back until the tab on the bin locks into
the slot in the shelf.
If bin does not go all the way back,
remove it and rotate the drive
mechanism 1/4 turn. Then push
bin back again until the tab on the
bin locks into the slot in the shelf.

Cleaning—Ouhide
The water and ice dispenser spill shelf should be
wiped dry immediately to prevent spotting. Water left on
the shelf may leave deposits that you can remove by
soaking with undiluted vinegar. You can also use a paste
of non-precipitating water softener (such as Calgon
brand) and water, or one teaspoon of citric acid powder
per pint of hot tap water. Soak until the deposit
disappears or becomes loose enough to rinse away.
Usually 30 minutes soaking time is adequate. Avoid
using wax on the spill shelf and trim.
The door handles and trim can be cleaned with a cloth
dampened with a solution of mild liquid dishwashing
detergent and water. Dry with a soft cloth. ‘
~hae~nd~ti WAX =$~e
Cleaning—Inside
Inside the fresh food and freezer compartments should
be cleaned at least once a year. Unplug the refrigerator
before cleaning.
If this is not practical, wring excess
moisture out of sponge or cloth when cleaning around

switches, lights or controls.
Use warm water and baking soda solution—about a
tablespoon of baking soda to a quart of water. This both
cleans and neutralizes odors. Rinse thoroughly with water
and wipe dry.
Other parts of the refrigerator—including door gaskets,
meat and vegetable drawers, ice storage bin and all plastic
parts-an be cleaned the same way. After cleaning door
gaskets, apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly to the door
gaskets at the hinge side. This helps keep the gaskets from
sticking and bending out of shape. If the freezer baskets
don’t slide freely after cleaning, lubricate them with
petroleum jelly. Do not use cleansing powders or other
abrasive cleaners.
Keep the finish clean. Wipe with a clean cloth lightly
dampened with kitchen appliance
wax or mild liquid
dishwashing detergent. Dry and polish with a clean, soft
cloth. Do not wipe the refrigerator with a soiled dishwashing
cloth or wet towel. These may leave a residue that can erode
the paint. Do not use scouring pads, powdered cleaners,
bleach or cleaners containing bleach because these products
can scratch and weaken the paint finish.
Protect the paint finish. me finish on the outside of the
refrigerator is a high quality, baked-on paint finish. With
proper care, it will stay new-looking and rust-free for
years. Apply a coat of
kitchetiappliance wax when the
refrigerator is new and then at least twice a
year.
Appliance Polish Wax & Cleaner (Cat. No. WR92X0216)
is available from GE Service and Parts Centers.
To help prevent odors, leave an open box of baking soda in
the rear of the refrigerator, on the top shelf. Change the box
every three months. An open box of baking soda in the
freezer will absorb stale freezer odors.
Do not wash any plastic parts from your
refrigerator in your automatic dishwasher.
Drain opening in freezer compartment. During yearly
cleaning, remove bottom freezer basket and flush a solution of
baking soda+ne teaspoon and two cups
of hot (not boiling) water— through the
drain line with the help of a meat baster.
This will help eliminate odor and reduce
the likelihood of a clogged drain line.

If drain becomes clogged, use a meat
baster and baking-soda-and- water

solution to force the clog through the drain line.
Behind Refrigerator
Care should be taken in moving your refrigerator away
from the wall. All types of floor coverings can be
damaged, particularly cushioned coverings and those
with embossed surfaces. Pull the refrigerator straight
out and return it to position by pushing it straight in.
Moving your refrigerator in a side direction may result
in damage to your floor covering or refrigerator.
Condenser
The condenser is located behind
the base grille. For most efficient
operation, remove the base grille
and either sweep away or
vacuum up dust that is readily
accessible. For best results, use a
brush specially designed for this
purpose. It is available at most
appliance parts stores. This easy
cleaning operation should be done at least once a year.

Drawer and Cover Removal
Drawers will stop before coming all the way out of
refrigerator to help prevent spilling onto floor.
Drawers can easily be removed by tilting up slightly
and pulling past “stop” location.
To remove drawers when the fresh food
compartment door cannot be opened fully:
1. Remove food from the shelf above the Moist ‘n
Fresh drawer and take out the shelf. Take food off the
glass cover and out of drawer.
2. Remove the flexible
gasket at the rear of the
Moist ‘n Fresh drawer. Lift
each end straight up until the
slots on the gasket are free of
the drawer support tabs.
3. Pull the drawer partway
out. Reach in, push the rear
of the glass up and, at the
same time, push it back
until
it clears the front corner
retainers.
4. Tilt and remove the cover.

5. Pull the drawer forward, lift
the front to clear stops, and
remove the drawer. If the
refrigerator door doesn’t open
completely, pull the drawer
out until it hits the door. Then
lift the drawer up until it is
higher than the drawer
supports, tilt it and take it out.
6. If tape holds Convertible Meat Pan cover to drawer
supports, remove the tape. Pull drawer partway out.
Reach in, push the rear of the glass up and, at the
same time, back, until it clears front-corner retainers.
7. Tilt and remove the

After cleaning, replace in
reverse order.
9. Reinstall the gasket at the
rear of the Moist ‘n Fresh
drawer. Fit the end of the
plastic drawer support into
the slot on the gasket, with
the rubber gasket flap facing
you. Make sure the gasket
snaps into place.

Water filter accessory
The perfect companion to your automatic
icemaker— a water filter
Your ice cubes can only be as fresh-tasting as the
water that produces them. That’s why it’s a good idea
to purify your water with a water filter.
Its activated charcoal removes musty, stale odors and
unpleasant medicinal, metallic tastes. A porous fiber
cartridge catches dirt, rust particles, sand and silt
while special crystals reduce deposits of hard scale.
The water filter is an option at extra cost and is
available from your GE dealer. Specify WR97X0214.
It has complete installation instructions and installs in
minutes on 1/4” O.D. copper water line.
