3/4" OVERLAY PANEL DIMENSIONS
For a more custom appearance, overlay panels may be
installed on trimmed models. The overlay panel must
be secured to a 1/4" thick backer panel which slides
into the uim. A spacer panel 0.10" thick must be
placed between the overlay and backer panel.
Assemble the panels with glue and screws.
• Center the spacer panel on the backer panel, left to

FLOORING
For proper installation, tiffs refligerator must be
placed on a level surface of hard material that is
at tim same height as tim rest of tim flooring. This
surface should be suong enough to support a fidly
loaded refligeratoI, or approximately 1,500 lbs.
NOTE: Protect the finish of the flooring. Cut a large
section of the cardboard carton and place under the
refligerator where you are working.
GROUNDING THE REFRIGERATOR
IMPORTANT - (Please read carefully)
FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST
BE PROPERIX GROUNDED.
The power cord of tiffs appliance is equipped with
a three-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a
standard three-prong (grounding) wall receptacle to
minimize the possibility of elecuic shock hazard
flom this appliance.
Have tim wall oudet and circuit checked by a
qualified elecuician to make sure the outlet is
properly grounded.
Where a standard 2-prong wall oudet 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 PI,UG TO CONNECT
THE REFRIGERATOR TO A 2-PRONG OUTI,ET.
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD WITH THIS
APPI fiANCE.

STEP 2 INSTALL WATER LINE
• A cold water supply is required for automatic
icemaker operation. Tile water pressure must be
between 40 and 120 p.s.i.
• Route 1/4" OD copper or GE SmartConnecff M
plastic robing between house cold water lille and tile
water connection location.
• Tubing should be long enough to extend to tile
flont of tile refligerator. Allow enough tubing to
accommodate bend leading into tile water lille
COIlllectioIl.
NOTE: Tile only GE approved plastic robing is
supplied ill tile GE SmartConnect TM Refligerator
Tubing kits. Do not use any other plastic water supply
lille because tile lille is under pressure at all times.
Other types of plastic m W crack or rupture with age
and cause water damage to your home.

STEP 2 (continued)
• Turn on the main water supply and flush debris.
Run about a quart of water through the robing into
a bucket. Shut off water supply at the shuboff vane.
NOTE: Saddle type shut-off valves are included in
many water supply kits. Before purchasing, make
sure a saddle type vane complies with your local
plumbing codes.

STEP 5 LEVEL REFRIGERATOR
All models have 4-point leveling. The fiont is
supported by leveling legs, the rear is supported by
adjustable wheels. Both are accessible flom the flont
of the refligerator.
• To level the back of the refligerato_; turn the
7/16" hex nut located above the flont wheels. Turn
clockwise to raise or counterclockwise to lower the
refligerator.
• For flont leveling, use a 1-1/4" open-end wrench.
• Adjust height of refligerator to match installation
cutout opening 83-1/2" to 84-1/2". The refligerator
should be level and plumb with cabineuy.
HexNutAd
RearWheels j_Leveling Leg
CAUTION:
The rear leveling wheels and flont 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 refligerator on a sheet
of pl)_,vood or rtmners. Cabineuy uim 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.
PRUDENCE
I,es roues de nivellement arri&re et les pattes de
nivellement avant permettent un r_glage maximal
de 25 mm (1 po). Si l'ouverture pour le r_flig_rateur
a une hauteur sup_rieure _'t2,15 m (84-1/2 po),
l'installateur dolt _lever le r_flig_rateur sur une
feuille de conue-plaqu_ ou des glissib.res. I1est
_galement possible d'_{iouter des baguettes de
finidon des placards sur le haut de l'ouvermre afin
de la rdduire. Lever le r6frig6rateur de plus de 25
mm (1 po) endommage les pattes de nivellement
avant et les roues de nivellement arri6re.
