BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Read these instructions completely and carefully.

IMPORTANT – Save these

instructions for local inspector’s use.

IMPORTANT – Observe all

governing codes and ordinances.

Note to Installer – Be sure to leave these instructions with the Consumer.

Note to Consumer – Keep these instructions for future reference.

Skill level – Installation of this appliance requires basic mechanical skills.

Completion time – Refrigerator Installation

15minutes

Proper installation is the responsibility of the installer.

Product failure due to improper installation is not covered under the Warranty.

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 1/8(3 mm)

Top 1(25 mm)

Back 1(25 mm)

If the refrigerator is against a wall on either side, allow a minimum of 134(45 mm) between the wall and the side of the refrigerator to allow for door and handle clearance.

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 GEAppliances.com (in Canada at 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.

ROLLERS

The rollers have 2 purposes:

The rollers are used to level the refrigerator.

NOTE: It is recommended that the refrigerator be elevated 1/2(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 3/8socket wrench,

 

adjustable wrench or pliers.

Front Roller Adjusting Screw

NOTE: The refrigerator must be supported by all four rollers. To test, move the refrigerator to make sure it does not rock.
