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 the refrigerator on a floor strong enough to
support it when fully loaded.

PACKAGING TAPE
Remove all packaging tape and peel-off films. These
tapes were added to secure and protect your refrigerator
during shipping.
CLEARANCES
Allow the following clearances for ease of installation,
proper air circulation and plumbing and electrical
connections:
• Sides 1/8s (3 mm)
• Top 1s (25 mm)
• Back 1s (25 mm)
If the refrigerator is against a wall on either side, allow a
minimum of 1 3 ⁄
of the refrigerator to allow for door and handle
clearance.
ROLLERS
The rollers have 2 purposes:
The rollers are used to level the refrigerator.
NOTE: It is recommended that the refrigerator be
elevated 1/2s (13 mm) in the front. When installing an
icemaker, make sure that the icemaker is completely
level while maintaining the refrigerator incline.
Rollers allow you to move the refrigerator away from the
wall for cleaning.
To adjust the rollers:
Remove the base grille by pulling it straight out.
Turn the two front roller
adjusting screws clockwise
to raise the refrigerator,
counterclockwise to lower it.
Use a 3/8s socket wrench,
adjustable wrench or pliers.
NOTE: The refrigerator must be supported by all four
rollers. To test, move the refrigerator to make sure it does
not rock.
