WATER SUPPLY TO THE ICEMAKER

If the refrigerator has an icemaker, it will have
to be connected to a cold water line. A GE water supply
kit (containing tubing, shutoff valve, fittings
and instructions) is available at extra cost from your
dealer or by visiting our Website at GEAppliances.com or
Parts and Accessories, 800.626.2002.
REFRIGERATOR LOCATION

go below 60°F (16°C) because it will not run often enough
to maintain proper temperatures.

will go above 100°F (37°C) because it will not perform
