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 Appliances water
supply kit (containing tubing, shutoff valve, fittings and
instructions) is available at extra cost from your dealer or
by visiting our Website at GEAppliances.com (in Canada
at www.geappliances.ca) or from Parts and Accessories,
1.877.959.8688.
REFRIGERATOR LOCATION
• Do not install the refrigerator where the temperature
will go below 55°F (12.7°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 1/8 (3.5 mm)
• Top 1/8 (3.5 mm)
• Back 1 (25 mm)
If the refrigerator is to be installed next to a wall on the
hinge side, allow 5/16 (8 mm) door clearance.
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.
