Installing The Refrigerator - GE 26 Manuel D'utilisation Et D'installation

INSTALLING THE REFRIGERATOR

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)
REMOVING THE REFRIGERATOR DOORS
• IMPORTANT NOTE: This refrigerator is 35.6" deep. Doors
and passageways leading to the installation location
must be at least 36" wide in order to leave the doors and
handles attached to the refrigerator while transporting it
into the installation location. If passageways are less than
36", the refrigerator doors and handles can easily be
scratched and damaged. The top cap and doors can be
removed to allow the refrigerator to be safely moved
indoors. Start with Step 1.
• If it is not necessary to remove doors, skip to Step 9. Leave
tape and all packaging on doors until the refrigerator is in
the final location.
• NOTE: Use a padded hand truck to move this refrigerator.
Place the refrigerator on the hand truck with a side
against the truck. We strongly recommend that TWO
PEOPLE move and complete this installation.
