Installation Instructions Preparing To Install The Refrigerator - GE 22 Owner's Manual And Installation Instructions

Preparing to install the refrigerator.
Read these instructions completely and carefully.
Water Supply to the Icemaker
If the refrigerator has an icemaker, it 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:
Base Grille
Remove end
cap(s), then
remove the base
grille by grasping
it at the bottom
and pulling it
straight out.
Rollers
The rollers have 3 purposes:
Rollers adjust so the door closes easily when
opened about halfway. [Front of refrigerator
should be 1/4" (6 mm) higher than the rear
of refrigerator.]
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.
A water supply kit (containing copper tubing,
shutoff valve, fittings and instructions) is available
at extra cost from your dealer or from Parts and
Accessories, 800.626.2002.
