•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.

CONNECTING THE REFRIGERATOR TO THE HOUSE WATER LINE (icemaker models)
A cold water supply is required for automatic icemaker operation. If there is not a cold water supply, you will need to provide one. See Installing the Water Line section.
NOTES:
•Before making the connection to the refrigerator, be sure the refrigerator power cord is not plugged into the wall outlet.
•If your refrigerator does not have a water filter, we recommend installing one if your water supply has sand or particles that could clog the screen of the refrigerator’s water valve. Install it in the water line near the refrigerator. If using GE SmartConnect™ Refrigerator Tubing Kit, you will need an additional tube (WX08X10002) to connect the filter. Do not cut plastic tube to install filter.
