Installation
Trim Kits and Decorator Panels
(Continued next page)
15
Read these instructions completely and carefully.
Before You Begin
Some models are equipped with trim kits that allow you to install door panels. You can order
pre-cut black or white decorator panels from GE Parts and Accessories, 800.626.2002, or you can
add wood panels to match your kitchen cabinets.
Panels less than 1/4″(6 mm) thick
When installing wood panels less than 1/4″ (6 mm) thick, you need to create a filler panel, such as 1/8″
cardboard, that will fit between the face of the door and the wood panel. If you are installing the pre-cut
decorator panels, pre-cut filler panels are included in the kit. The combined thickness of the decorator
or wood panel and the filler panel should be 11/32″(8.7 mm) with the panel itself being no larger than
1/4″(6 mm).
For panel required models
Panels 1/4″thick or less
1/4″max
The handle and the top and bottom trim stand in front of the surface of the door, which requires that the
filler be smaller in length and width than the panel. Use the guidelines below and tape the filler onto the
back of the panel.

Dimensions for Custom Wood Panels
3/4″ (19 mm) or Raised Panel
A raised panel design screwed or glued to a 1/4″ (6 mm) thick backing, or a 3/4″ (19 mm) routed board
can be used. The raised portion of the panel must be fabricated to permit clearances of at least 2″ (5.1 cm)
from the handle side for fingertip clearance.
Panels thicker than 1/4″ (6 mm), up to 3/4″ (19 mm) max., will require that the outer 5/16″ (8 mm) of
panel perimeter be no thicker than 1/4″ (6 mm).
Weight limitations for custom panels:

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.

POWER CORD
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with
a 3-prong (grounding) plug, which mates with a
standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet 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
properly grounded.
If the outlet is a standard 2-prong outlet, it is your
personal responsibility and obligation to have it
replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall
outlet.
WARNING: Do not, under any circumstances, cut
or remove the third (ground) prong from the power
cord. For personal safety, this appliance must be
properly grounded.
The refrigerator should always be plugged into its
own individual electrical outlet, which has a voltage
rating that matches the rating plate.
USE OF EXTENSION CORDS
Because of potential safety hazards under certain
conditions, we strongly recommend against the use
of an extension cord.
However, if you must use an extension cord, it is
absolutely necessary that the extension cord be:
UL-listed (in the United States) or CSA-listed (in•
Canada).
A 3-wire grounding type appliance extension•
cord having a grounding type plug and outlet.
A cord with an electrical rating of 15 amperes•
(minimum) and 120 volts.

template (included inside the anti-tip kit)
onto the floor up against the rear wall,
within W, and in line with the desired
location of the RH side of the refrigerator
(see Figure 1).
Place the anti-tip floor bracket onto the
locator template with its RH floor holes
lined up with the floor holes indicated
on the template sheet, approximately 71⁄4”
from the edge of the sheet or the RH side
of the refrigerator.
Hold down in position and use the anti-tip
floor bracket as a template for marking
the holes based upon your configuration
and type of construction as shown in Step
3. Mark the hole locations with a pencil,
nail or awl.
NOTE:
•It is REQUIRED to use at least 2 screws
to mount the floor bracket (one on each
side of the anti-tip floor bracket). Both
must be into either the wall or the floor.
Figure 2 indicates all the acceptable
mounting configurations for screws.
Identify the screw holes on the anti-tip
floor bracket for your configuration.

POSITIONING THE REFRIGERATOR
TO ENGAGE THE ANTI-TIP FLOOR
AND BASE BRACKETS
Before pushing the refrigerator into the
opening, plug the power cord into the
receptacle and connect waterline (if
equipped). Check for leaks.
Locate the refrigerator’s RH side and
move back approximately in line with the
RH side of the cabinet opening, W. This
should position the anti-tip floor bracket
to engage the anti-tip base bracket on the
refrigerator.
Gently roll the refrigerator back into
the cabinet opening until it comes
to a complete stop. Check to see if
the refrigerator front lines up with the
cabinet front face. If not, carefully rock
the refrigerator forward and backward
until engagement occurs and you notice
that the refrigerator is fully pushed up
against the rear wall.
OPTIONAL: Adjust the rear (and front)
wheel height settings to fully engage the
rear anti-tip brackets, while also aligning
the refrigerator front with the cabinet
front face.

About the controls with temperature settings.
The temperature controls are preset in the factory at 37°F for the refrigerator compartment
and 0°F for the freezer compartment. Allow 24 hours for the temperature to stabilize to the
preset recommended settings.
The temperature controls can display both the SET temperature as well as the actual
temperature in the refrigerator and freezer. The actual temperature may vary slightly from
the SET temperature based on usage and operating environment.
Setting either or both controls to OFF stops cooling in both the freezer and refrigerator
compartments, but does not shut off electrical power to the refrigerator.
For Controls-on-the-Door Models:
To change the temperature, press and release the
WARMER or COLDER pad. The ACTUAL TEMP light
will come on and the display will show the actual
temperature. To change the temperature, tap
either the WARMER or COLDER pad until the
desired temperature is displayed.
For Controls Inside the Refrigerator:
Opening the door displays the actual temperature.
To change the temperature, press either the
WARMER or COLDER touch pads until the
desired temperature is displayed.
Once the desired temperature has been set,
the temperature display will return to the actual
refrigerator and freezer temperatures after 5
seconds. Several adjustments may be required.
Each time you adjust controls, allow 24 hours for the
refrigerator to reach the temperature you have set.
To turn the cooling system off, tap the WARMER pad
for either the refrigerator or the freezer until the
display shows OFF.To turn the unit back on, press the
COLDER pad for either the refrigerator or freezer.
Then press the COLDER pad again and it will go to
the preset points of 0°F for the freezer and 37°F for
the refrigerator. Setting either or both controls
to OFF stops cooling in both the freezer and
refrigerator compartments, but does not shut
off electrical power to the refrigerator.
Changing the Temperature
NOTE: The refrigerator is shipped with protective film covering the temperature controls.
If this film was not removed during installation, remove it now.
