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,
by visiting our Website at www.GEAppliances.com
(in Canada at www.geappliances.ca) or from Parts and
Accessories, 800.626.2002 (in Canada 1.888.261.3055).
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.
• Do not install the refrigerator where the temperature
will go above 100°F (37°C) because it will not perform
properly.
• 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)
ROLLERS
The rollers have 3 purposes:
Rollers adjust so the doors close on their own when
opened about halfway. (Raise the front about 5/8
[16 mm] from the floor).
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.
Final leveling adjustments should be made after
the refrigerator has been installed.
To adjust the rollers:
Turn the roller adjusting screws clockwise to raise the
refrigerator, counterclockwise to lower it. Use a 3/8
hex socket or wrench, or an adjustable wrench.
