WARNING
Refrigerator is much heavier at the top than at the
bottom. To avoid a risk of death or serious injury, be
careful when moving, and when using a hand truck,
handle only from side.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ROLL UNIT OFF SKID.
AVERTISSEMENT
Parce que le haut du réfrigérateur est plus lourd que sa base,
la prudence est de mise lors son déplacement, de l'utilisation
d'un diable-brouette, de sa manipulation faite seulement sur
son côté afin d'éviter les blessures graves ou mortelles.
IL NE FAUT PAS ESSAYER DE FAIRE ROULER L'APPAREIL
MÉNAGER POUR L'ENLEVER DE LAY PALETTE..
• Carefully cut banding at the top and bottom, remove the
outer carton.
• Slide out the back corner posts (2).
• Slide the carton off the top of the cabinet.
NOTE: IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO LAY THE CABINET DOWN
IN ORDER TO REMOVE THE SKID!
STEP 2 INSTALL WATER LINE
• A cold water supply is required for automatic
icemaker operation. The water pressure must be
between 40 and 120 p.s.i.
• Route 1/4" OD copper or GE SmartConnect
tubing between house cold water line and the water
connection location.
• Tubing should be long enough to extend to the front of
the refrigerator. Allow enough tubing to accommodate
bend leading into the water line connection.
NOTE: The only GE-approved plastic tubing is supplied
in the GE SmartConnect
™
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.
