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.
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.

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
is available at extra cost from your dealer, by visiting
our Website at GEAppliances.com (in Canada, at
www.GEAppliances.ca), or from Parts and Accessories,
800.626.2002.
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 90º door
opening which provides better access to food storage area.
DOOR ALIGNMENT
After leveling, make sure that doors are even at the top.
To make the doors even, adjust the refrigerator door.
Using a 5/16" socket wrench, turn the door adjusting
screw to the right to raise the door, to the left to lower
it. (A nylon plug, embedded in the threads of the pin,
prevents the pin from turning unless a wrench is used.)
After one or two turns of the wrench, open and close
the refrigerator compartment door and check the
alignment at the top of the doors.
To remove the base
grille, open the doors
and then pull the
grille straight out.
