Step 5
Level
Refrigerator
or Freezer
All models have 4-point leveling. The front is supported
by leveling legs, the rear is supported by wheels.
• Adjust rear wheels beneath the product to just barely
touch the 2x4 block.
• Turn the 7/16" hex nut located above the front wheels.
Turn to raise or lower the refrigerator.
• For front leveling legs, use a 1-1/4" open-end wrench.
• Adjust carefully, the refrigerator should be level and
plumb with cabinetry, and align with toekick height.
Step 6
Secure
Refrigerator
or Freezer
to Sides
When using 1/2" to 3/4" side panels, the front flange of
the case trim is attached to the side panel.
• Open door to access case trim.
• Drill hole in trim slightly below the interior opening.
Drive screw through the trim and into the side panel.
• Follow the same procedure on the opposite side.
If the product is installed between cabinets with no side
panels or in a custom enclosure, install a spacer block
as shown.
NOTE: Whenever possible,
perform this step for additional
anti-tip security. This step can
be used as an alternate to Step
4, Anti-Tip bracket installation,
whenever brackets cannot be
used.

Water
Supply
• Locate and bring tubing to the front of the cabinet.
• Turn the water on to flush debris from line. Run about
a quart of water through tubing into a bucket, then
shut-off water.
Copper Tubing:
• Slip a 1/4" nut and ferrule (provided) over both ends of
the copper tubing. Insert tube into the union fitting on
the unit and tighten nut to union.
• Turn on the water to check for leaks.
GE SmartConnect™ Tubing:
• Insert the molded end of the tubing into the
refrigerator connection. Tighten the compression nut
until it is just hand tight.
• Tighten one additional turn with a wrench.
Overtightening can cause leaks!
• Turn on the water to check for leaks.
CAUTION
PRUDENCE
The rear leveling wheels and front leveling legs
are limited to a maximum height adjustment of 1".
If the installation requires more than 84-1/2" height,
the installer should elevate the refrigerator on a
sheet of plywood or runners. Cabinetry trim could
also be added across the top of the opening to
shorten the opening. If you attempt to raise the
refrigerator more than 1", you will damage
the front leveling legs and the rear leveling
wheels.
Les roues de nivellement arrière et les pattes de
nivellement avant permettent un réglage maximal
de 25 mm (1 po). Si l’ouverture pour le réfrigérateur
a une hauteur supérieure à 2,15 m (84-1/2 po),
l’installateur doit élever le réfrigérateur sur une
feuille de contre-plaqué ou des glissières. Il est
également possible d’ajouter des baguettes de
finition des placards sur le haut de l’ouverture afin
de la réduire. Lever le réfrigérateur de plus de 25
mm (1 po) endommage les pattes de nivellement
avant et les roues de nivellement arrière.
NOTE: Make sure excess tubing length does not
interfere with toekick installation.
