WATER SUPPLY TO THE ICEMAKER
(on some models
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 from Parts and Accessories, 800-626-2002.
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.
• Install it on a floor strong enough to support it fully
loaded.

CLEARANCES
Allow the following clearances for ease of installation,
proper air circulation and plumbing and electrical
connections.
• Sides 1/8" (4 mm)
• Top 1" (25 mm)
• Back 1" (25 mm)
A door clearance of 3/4" (19 mm) is needed for a 90°
door opening which provides better access to the food
storage area.
ROLLERS
The rollers have 3 purposes:
Rollers adjust so the door closes easily when opened
about halfway.
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.
To adjust the rollers, remove the base grille by pulling it
out at the bottom.
Turn the roller adjusting screws clockwise to raise the
refrigerator, counterclockwise to lower it. Use an
adjustable wrench (3/8" hex head bolt) or pliers.
To replace base grille, line up the clips on back of grille
between the bar and the bottom of the cabinet. Push
forward until grille snaps into place.
