)
some models
If the refrigerator has an icemaker, it will have to be
connected to a cold water line. A water supply kit
(containing copper tubing, shutoff valve, fittings and
instructions) is available at extra cost from your dealer,
by visiting our Website at GEAppliances.com (in Canada
at www.geappliances.ca) or from Parts and Accessories,

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.
• 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 3/4" (19 mm)
• Top 1" (25 mm)
• Back 2" (50 mm)
ROLLERS AND LEVELING LEGS
Leveling legs near each front corner of the refrigerator are
adjustable. They firmly position the refrigerator and prevent
it from moving when the doors are opened. Leveling legs
should be set so the front of the refrigerator is raised just
enough that the doors close easily when opened about
halfway.
Turn the leveling legs clockwise to raise the refrigerator,
counterclockwise to lower it.
Rollers next to the leveling legs allow you to move the
refrigerator away from the wall for cleaning.
Turn the legs counterclockwise until the weight of the
refrigerator is transferred from them to the rollers. After
rolling the refrigerator back into place, turn the legs
clockwise until the legs again bear the weight of the
refrigerator.
