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.
Allow the following clearances for ease of installation,
proper air circulation and plumbing and electrical connections.
• Sides 1/8″(4 mm) • Top 1″ (25 mm) • Back 1″ (25 mm)
A door clearance of 3/4″ (19 mm) is needed for a 90º door
opening which provides better access to food storage area.
CLEARANCES
If the refrigerator has an icemaker, it will have to be
connected to a cold water line. A GE water supply kit 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,

The rollers have 3 purposes:
Rollers adjust so the door closes easily when opened about
halfway.
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.
To adjust the rollers, remove the base grille by pulling it out
at the bottom.
Turn the roller adjusting screws clockwise to raise the
refrigerator, counterclockwise to lower it. Use an adjustable
wrench (3/8″ hex head bolt) or pliers.
To replace base grille, line up the clips on back of grille
between the bar and the bottom of the cabinet. Push forward
until grille snaps into place.

DOOR ALIGNMENT
After leveling, make sure that doors are even at the top.
To make the doors even, adjust the refrigerator door.
Using a 5/16″ socket wrench, turn the door adjusting screw
to the right to raise the door, to the left to lower it. (A nylon
plug, embedded in the threads of the pin, prevents the pin
from turning unless a wrench is used.)
After one or two turns of the wrench, open and close the
refrigerator compartment door and check the alignment at
the top of the doors.
