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
or by visiting our Website at www.GEAppliances.com
or Parts and Accessories, 800.626.2002.
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 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 mm)
• Top 1" (25 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
(ON SOME MODELS)
The rollers have 3 purposes:
• Rollers adjust so the door closes easily when opened
about 45°.
• 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.
NOTE: When rollers are properly adjusted, the top
of the refrigerator will not be level but will have a slight
backward tilt.
For models with a base grille, the grille must be removed
to access the roller adjusting screws.
To remove the base grille:
Grasp it about 6" from each
end and pull its bottom edge
toward you.
To replace the base grille:
Insert the tops of the metal
clips into the oval vents,
making sure one of the
plastic tabs on the back of
the grille goes into each of
the oval vents. Then push the
bottom of the grille forward
until it snaps into place.
To adjust the rollers, turn
the two front roller adjusting
screws clockwise to raise the
front of the refrigerator,
counterclockwise to lower it.
