to minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard
from this appliance.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a
qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is
proper_ grounded.
Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered,
it is your personal responsibility and obligation to
have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong
wall outlet.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY
CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT
OR REMOVE THE THIRD
(GROUND) PRONG FROM
THE POWER CORD.
DO NOT USE AN ADAPTER PLUG TO CONNECT
THE REFRIGERATOR TO A 2-PRONG OUTLET.
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD WITH THIS

front of the refrigerator. Allow enough tubing to
accommodate bend leading into the water line
connection,
NOTE: The only GE approved plastic tubing is
supplied in the GE SmartConnect TM Refrigerator
Tubing kits. Do not use any other plastic water supply
line because the line is under pressure at all times.
Other types of plastic may crack or rupture with age
and cause water damage to your home.
GE SmartConnect TM Refrigerator Tubing Kits are
available in the following lengths:
2' (.6 m) WX08X10002
6' (1.8 m) WX08X10006

ISTEP LEVEL REFRIGERATOR
All models have 4-point leveling. The front is
supported by leveling legs, the rear is supported by
adjustable wheels. Both are accessible from the front
of the refrigerator.
• To level the back of the refrigerator, turn the
7/16" hex nut located above the front wheels. Turn
clockwise to raise or counterclockwise to lower the
refrigerator.
• For front leveling, use a 1-1/4" open-end wrench.
• Adjust height of refrigerator to match installation
cutout opening 83-1/2 to 84-1/2". The refrigerator
should be level and plumb with cabinetry.
RearWheels
LevelingLeg
CAUTION:
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.
