Preparing To Install The Refrigerator - GE 20 Owner's Manual

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.
A water supply kit (containing copper tubing, shutoff valve, fittings
and instructions) is available at extra cost from your dealer.
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:
If the refrigerator is against a wall on either side, allow the following
door clearances:
Sides 5/8" (15 mm)
Top 1" (25 mm)
If built-in, allow 7/8" (22 mm) for hinge covers.
Back 1" (25 mm)
