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)
If the refrigerator is against a wall on either side, allow
a 1/8" (3 mm) door clearance.
ROLLERS
The rollers have 3 purposes:
I
Rollers adjust so the doors close on their own when
opened about 45°.
I
Rollers adjust so the refrigerator is firmly positioned
on the floor and does not wobble.
I
Rollers allow you to move the refrigerator away from
the wall for cleaning.
To adjust the rollers:
Remove the base grille by
positioning hands as shown.
Rotate the bottom of the
grille outward until the clips
snap out.
Pull the grille away from the
refrigerator.
Using a screwdriver, turn
the two front roller adjusting
screws clockwise to raise

the refrigerator,

counterclockwise to lower it.
Replace the grille so the
notch in the grille will fit
around the bottom door
hinge.
Tilt the top of the grille
toward the refrigerator and
insert the long metal clips
into the top of the oval
openings at the bottom of
the refrigerator.
Rotate the bottom of the grille toward
the refrigerator until it snaps into place.
