Preparing To Install - GE 21 Owner's Manual And Installation

Preparing to install the refrigerator.
Read these instructions completely and carefully.
Water Supply to the Icemaker
The icemaker will have to be connected to a cold
water line.
Refrigerator Location
Do not install the refrigerator where the
temperature will go below 60°F (16°C)
because it will not run often enough to
maintain proper temperatures.
Clearances
Allow the following clearances for ease of
installation, proper air circulation and
plumbing and electrical connections:
Sides
Top
Back
Rollers
The rollers have 3 purposes:
Rollers adjust so the door closes easily when
opened about halfway. [Raise the front about
5/8" (15 mm) from the floor.]
Rollers adjust so the refrigerator is firmly
positioned on the floor and does not wobble.
Rollers allow you to move the refrigerator away
from the wall for cleaning.
Final leveling adjustments should be made after the
refrigerator has been installed.
To adjust the rollers on 25 ' , 27 ' , and 29 ' models:
Turn the roller adjusting screws clockwise to raise
the refrigerator, counterclockwise to lower it. Use a
3/8" hex socket or wrench, or an adjustable wrench.

You can order a GE water supply kit (containing
tubing, shutoff valve, fittings and instructions) by
visiting our Website at www.GEAppliances.com or
from Parts and Accessories, 800-626-2002.
Install it on a floor strong enough to support it
fully loaded.
To adjust the rollers on 21 ' and 23 ' models:
Remove the base grille by opening the doors,
removing the screws at each end, and pulling
it straight out.
Turn the front roller adjusting screws clockwise to
raise the refrigerator, counterclockwise to lower it.
Use a 3/8" hex socket or wrench, or an adjustable
wrench.
Roller adjusting screws
These models also have rear adjustable rollers so
you can align the refrigerator with your kitchen
cabinets. Use a long-handled 5/16" socket wrench
to turn the screws for the rear rollers— clockwise to
raise the refrigerator, counterclockwise to lower it.
