IMPORTANT – Please read carefully.
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 receptacle 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, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT OR REMOVE THE THIRD
(GROUND) PRONG FROM THE POWER CORD.

CARING FOR YOUR STAINLESS STEEL
• Before installation or first use, we strongly advise that
you polish the stainless steel exterior and handle with
a commercially available stainless steel cleaner such as
Stainless Steel Magic.™To preserve and protect the fine
finish, we also strongly advise that you apply stainless
steel cleaner monthly.
STAINING WOOD DRAWER FRONTS
The drawer fronts are unfinished cherry wood. During
use, oil from hands may accumulate and stain the wood.
• The drawer fronts may be stained and sealed to match
adjacent cabinetry.
• Apply the stain and sealer according to the
manufacturer’s instructions. To avoid unpleasant odor,
keep the door open to ventilate and allow the
stain/sealer to dry completely before using the product.

TOOLS/HARDWARE REQUIRED
• Adjustable wrench
• Carpenter’s glue (ZIFI240 and ZIBI240 models only)
• Screwdriver (ZIFI240 and ZIBI240 models only)
• Water line can enter the opening through the floor or back
wall. The water line should be 1/4″O.D. copper tubing or
GE SmartConnect™kit between the cold water line and
water connection location, long enough to extend to the
front of the refrigerator. Installation of an easily accessible
shut-off valve in the water line is required.
• A cold water supply is required for automatic icemaker
operation. The water pressure must be between 20 and 120 p.s.i.
• Route GE SmartConnect™plastic tubing or 1/4″O.D.
copper tubing between house cold water line and the water
connection location.
• Install an optional water filter in the water line near the
refrigerator. A water filter is recommended in areas where
the water supply contains sand and particles. Installation
Instructions are packed with the filter.
NOTE: The only GE approved plastic tubing is supplied in
the GE SmartConnect™Refrigerator Tubing kits. Do not use
any other plastic water supply line because the line is under
pressure at all times. Other types of plastic may crack or
rupture with age and cause water damage to your home.
GE SmartConnect™Refrigerator Tubing Kits are available
in the following lengths:
2′(0.6 m) WX08X10002 15′(4.6 m) WX08X10015
6′(1.8 m) WX08X10006 25′(7.6 m) WX08X10025
Shut off the main water supply.
Turn on the nearest faucet long enough to clear the line
of water.
• Install a shut-off valve between the icemaker water valve
and cold water pipe in a basement or cabinet. The shut-off
valve should be located where it will be easily accessible.
• Turn on the main water supply and flush debris. Run about
a quart of water through the tubing into a bucket. Shut off
water supply at the shut-off valve.
NOTE: Saddle type shut-off valves are included in many
water supply kits. Before purchasing, make sure a saddle type
valve complies with your local plumbing codes.
NOTE: Commonwealth of Massachusetts Plumbing Codes
248CMR shall be adhered to. Saddle valves are illegal and
use is not permitted in Massachusetts. Consult with your
licensed plumber.

STEP 3 LEVEL
• Use an adjustable wrench
to turn the leveling legs
and raise or lower the product.
For built-in installation, adjust
the leveling legs slightly below
the bottom of the countertop.
INSTALLATION TIP:
Measure floor to underside
of countertop inside the
opening. If the room
floor is higher than the
opening floor, adjust the
rear leveling legs
approximately 1/8" less than the opening height.
Screw front legs all the way in to shorten the height at
the front. This will allow you to slightly tip the unit
into the opening. Once in the correct position, the
front legs can be adjusted to level the product.
Turn Right to Lower
Turn Left to Raise
STEP 4 CONNECT WATER SUPPLY
(ZIBI240 and ZIBS240 models only)
• Locate and bring the water line tubing to the rear
of the cabinet.
• Turn the water on to flush debris from the line.
Run about a quart of water through the tubing
into a bucket, then shut off the water.
Copper Tubing:
• Slip a 1/4″nut and ferrule over both ends of the
copper tubing. Insert the tube into the refrigerator
connection on the unit and tighten the nut.
• Turn on the water to check for leaks.
GE SmartConnect™Tubing:
• Insert the molded end of the tubing into the
refrigerator connection. Tighten the compression
nut until it is just hand tight.
• Tighten one additional turn with a wrench.
Overtightening can cause leaks!
• Turn on the water to check for leaks.
NOTE: Coil excess tubing length behind the unit.
STEP 2 INSTALL CUSTOM 3/4″DOOR
PANEL AND HANDLE (CONT.)
(ZIFI240 and ZIBI240 models only)
Install custom door panel and handle (cont.):
• A custom handle of your choice, supplied by your
cabinetmaker, must be installed onto the overlay
panel before the panels are slid into the trim.
Countersink all screws into the backer panel.
Screws cannot protrude from the backer panel.
• Slide overlay panel into the door trim.
• Reinstall the side trim using the trim screws
removed earlier.
• Place the brushed decorative cover over the side trim
to hide the screw heads. Ensure side trim is aligned
top to bottom and front to back. Snap into place.

STEP 6 SLIDE PRODUCT INTO
THE CUTOUT
CAUTION: Do not push against the door
panel with your knees. Do not push or lift the unit by
the door handle. Damage may occur!
ATTENTION : Ne poussez jamais le
panneau de la porte avec vos genoux. Ne poussez
jamais votre appareil ou ne le soulevez jamais par la
poignée de porte. Vous pouvez l’endommager.
• Open the door and gently push the unit back into
the opening with your hands against the sides.
Be careful not to entangle power cord.
• In a standard 24″opening, the front face of the
stainless steel door will be flush with adjacent
cabinetry. A custom panel door may protrude
1-3/4″beyond the surrounding cabinets.
• Check again to be sure the unit is level.
• If the unit is installed under a countertop, adjust
the leveling legs until the unit is resting firmly
against the underside of the countertop.
• If alignment with adjacent cabinetry is an issue,
use a shim to secure the unit against the underside
of the countertop.
STEP 5 CONNECT POWER
• Connect power cord plug to a properly grounded
receptacle.
• Check to make sure power is on by opening the door
to see if interior light turns on.
• Bar Refrigerator with Icemaker – The interior fan
runs all the time except during defrost cycle when
the door is open.
• Fresh-Food Refrigerator – The interior fan runs
all the time except when the door is open.
See the Owner’s Manual for further explanation of the fan.
STEP 7 SET TEMPERATURE
CONTROLS
• The temperature controls are preset. Refer to
the Owner’s Manual for more information. Allow
12–24 hours for the temperature to stabilize.
NOTE: The Fresh-Food Refrigerator or Bar Refrigerator
with Icemaker operate very quietly. You may not notice
the unit running, and when first installed, the fans and
motor may not come on immediately – this is normal.
If the display is lit and the light is working, the unit is
operating.
