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)

connected to a cold water line. A GE water supply kit is
available at extra cost from your dealer, by visiting our
Website at OEAppliances.com (in Canada, at
www.GEAppliances.ca), or from Parts and Accessories,

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 90 ° 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.
O 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.)
O 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.
