Water And Electrical Locations
The opening must be prepared with the electrical and
water supply located as shown.
The cutout depth must be 24".
The refrigerator will project forward, slightly beyond
adjacent cabinets, depending on your installation.
Additional Specifications
• A 120 volt, 60Hz, 15 or 20 amp power supply is
required. An individual properly grounded branch
circuit or circuit breaker is recommended. Install a

GROUNDING THE REFRIGERATOR
IMPORTANT - (Please read carefully)
FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE
PROPERLY GROUNDED.
The power supply cord of this appliance is equipped
with a three-prong (grounding) plug which mates with
a standard three-prong (grounding) wall receptacle 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.
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
APPLIANCE.

Heavy –be careful when moving. When using an
appliance dolly, handle from Freezer side only.
•Carefully cut banding at the top and bottom, remove
outer carton.
•Slide out rear corner posts (2).
•Slide carton off top of cabinet.
NOTE: DO NOT LAY CABINET DOWN IN ORDER TO
REMOVE SKID!
•The unit is secured to the skid with 6 Phillip screws
and six 1/2" bolts.
•Remove all 6 Phillip screws that secure metal
brackets to the refrigerator.
•Remove the three 1/2" nuts and washers from the
Freezer side.
•Tilt unit up on Freezer side toward Fresh Food side.
•Push bolts down, remove metal bracket from
Freezer side.
•Slide the appliance dolly underneath the Freezer
side.
•Using corner posts (2 on front corners) to prevent
damage, secure unit to appliance dolly.
NOTE: If corner posts are too long, cut the posts to a
shorter length.
•Lift the unit off the skid with the appliance dolly.
•Remove toekick taped to the top of the unit.
•Set toekick aside for final installation.
CAUTION:DO NOT ATTEMPT TO
ROLL OR DRAG UNTIL UNIT IS OFF SKID.
CAUTION:MAKE SURE THE
WATER LINE IS CLEAR OF APPLIANCE
DOLLY TO AVOID DAMAGE.

Installation Instructions
STEP 2 INSTALL WATER LINE
•A cold water supply is required for automatic
icemaker operation. The water pressure must
be between 40 and 120 psi.
•Route 1/4" O.D. copper tubing or GE
SmartConnect™tubing between cold water
line and the water connection location.
•Tubing should be long enough to extend to the
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™refrigerator
tubing kits. Do not use other plastic water supply
line, because the line is under pressure at all times.
Certain types of plastic may crack or rupture with
age and cause water damage to your home.
GE SmartConnect™refrigerator tubing kits are
available in the following lengths:
2' (.6m) WX08X10002
6' (1.8m) WX08X10006
15' (4.6m) WX08X10015
25' (7.6m) WX08X10025
Shut off the main water supply.
Turn on the nearest faucet long enough to purge all
the water from the line.
•Install a shutoff valve between the icemaker water
valve and cold water pipe in a basement or cabi-
net. The shutoff valve should be located where it
will be easily accessible.
NOTE: It is best to install the valve into a vertical
water pipe. If you install the valve into a horizontal
water pipe, make the connection at the top or side to
avoid drawing off any sediment from the water pipe.
•Drill a 1/4" hole in the water pipe.
•Fasten the shutoff valve to the pipe with pipe
clamp.
•Tighten the clamp screws until the sealing washer
begins to swell. Do not OVER TIGHTEN.
•Place a compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) onto
the end of the tubing and connect it to the shutoff
valve. Make sure the tubing is fully inserted into the
valve and ferrule is tightened.
•Turn on the main water supply and flush debris.
Run about a quart of water through the tubing
into a bucket. Shut off water supply at the
shutoff valve.
NOTE: Saddle type shutoff valves are included in
many water supply kits. Before purchasing, make
sure a saddle type valve complies with your local
plumbing codes.

Installation Instructions
STEP 3 INSTALL SIDE PANELS
SKIP THIS STEP WHEN NOT USING SIDE PANELS
If you are using 1/4" side panels, they should be
inserted into the case trim. Fasten the panels to the
refrigerator with the 3M Dual Lock adhesive strips
before setting refrigerator in place.
STEP 4A ALTERNATE ANTI-TIP
PRECAUTIONS
SKIP THIS STEP WHEN USING ANTI-TIP BRACKETS
All Profile built-in refrigerators are top heavy.
They must be secured to prevent the possibility of
tipping forward. Use this alternative method to
secure the refrigerator whenever steel wall studs
are encountered.
STEP 2A WATER LINE
INSTALLATION WITH
A REVERSE OSMOSIS
SYSTEM
SKIP THIS STEP WHEN NOT USING AN RO SYSTEM
NOTE: If the water supply to the refrigerator is from a
Reverse Osmosis Water System use the refrigerator’s
filter bypass plug. Using the refrigerator’s water filtra-
tion cartridge with the RO filter can result in hollow
ice cubes.
•Open the top grille to view the filtration cartridge.
Rotate the filtration cartridge clockwise until
removed.
•Insert filter bypass plug. Rotate the filter bypass plug
counterclockwise until tightly secured in place.
STEP 4 INSTALL ANTI-TIP BRACKETS
WARNING:
The refrigerator is top-heavy and must be secured to
prevent the possibility of tipping forward.
•Cut a 2" x 4" wood
block 36" long,
and secure the
block to the
mounting
brackets
provided, using #12
or #14 wood screws.
•Secure the bracket
with a wood block to
the back wall so that it is 82"
(or the rear installation height) from the finished floor.

must be level and plumb with cabinets. The top
case trim at the front is 2-1/8" higher than the rear
and will overlap upper cabinets or cabinet trim.
•Open grille panel to access the top case trim.
•Use a 3/16" bit to drill 4 evenly spaced clearance
holes through the metal top case trim.
•Use a 1/16" bit to drill pilot holes through the
metal clearance holes and into wood soffit. The
holes should be centered in the soffit or a 3/4"
minimum wood brace. The brace spanning the
enclosure must be securely fastened to cabinets
on both sides.
•Install four, 1-1/2" drywall screws into the pilot holes.

STEP 7 LEVEL REFRIGERATOR
All models have 4-point leveling. The front and back
are supported by leveling legs. Both are accessible
from the front of the refrigrator.
•To level the back of the refrigerator, turn the 1/2"
hex nut located above the front wheels. Turn clock-
wise to raise or counterclockwise to lower the
refrigerator.
•For front leveling, use a 7/16" 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 cabinets.
CAUTION:
The rear
leveling legs
and front
leveling legs
are limited to
a maximum
height adjust-
ment 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. Cabinet trim could 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 and rear leveling legs.
STEP 5 CONNECT POWER
•Connect refrigerator power cord plug to a properly
grounded receptacle. Set the Master Power switch
to the I(ON) position.
•Check to make sure power to refrigerator is on by
opening refrigerator door to see if interior lights
are on.•After power has been established turn
the Master Power switch to the
O (OFF) position.
STEP 6 MOVE INTO
INSTALLATION SPACE
•Slide the unit into the installation space.
•Place excess slack in the power cord on top of the
refrigerator.
•Use care to ensure the power cord is not pinched
