GEAppliances.com

Not all features are on all models.

Twin Drawer Shelf

To remove:

Remove the drawers.
Reach in, push the front of glass cover up,

and at the same time, pull it forward as

far as it will come.

Tilt it and take it out. Avoid cleaning the cold

glass cover with hot water because the extreme

temperature difference may cause it to break.

Remove the drawer frame. (Always

remove the glass cover before you take

out the drawer frame.)

Lift the frame off the supports at each side and

back, pull it forward, tilt it and take it out.

To replace:

Lower the frame until it rests on the

supports at each side and back.
Replace the glass cover, pushing its rear

edge firmly into the rear frame channel

and gently lowering the front into place.
Replace the drawers.

About the automatic icemaker.

A newly-installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24 hours to begin making ice.

Automatic Icemaker

(on some models)

The icemaker will produce approximately 70-100

cubes in a 24-hour period, depending on the

freezer compartment temperature, room

temperature, number of door openings and

other use conditions.
If the refrigerator is operated before the water

connection is made to the icemaker, set the

switch to OFF or move the feeler arm to the

STOP (up) position.
When the refrigerator has been connected to

the water supply, set the switch to the ON

position or move the feeler arm to the ON

(down) position.
The icemaker will fill with water when it cools to

15°F. A newly-installed refrigerator may take 12 to

24 hours to begin making ice cubes.
Once the icemaker starts to make ice, it may 

take up to 48 hours to fill the bin, depending

on the temperature settings and number of

door openings.
You will hear a buzzing sound each time the

icemaker fills with water.
Throw away the first few batches of ice 

to allow the water line to clear.
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, shrink or fuse

together.
Icemaker Accessory Kit

If your refrigerator did not already come

equipped with an automatic icemaker, an

icemaker accessory kit is available at extra cost.
Check the back of the refrigerator for 

the specific icemaker kit needed for 

your model.
