About the controls with
temperature settings. (for ot,_er models, see next page)
NOTE."Therefrigeratorisshippedwithprotectivefilmcovering#retemperaturecontrols.
If thisfilm wasnotremovedduringinstallation,removeit now
The temperature controls are preset in the factory at 37°F for the refrigerator compartment
and O°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 weft 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.

Initiafly, set the refrigerator control at5 and the freezer control at5 and allow 24 hours
for the temperature to stabilize.
Several adjustments may be required. Adjust the controls one increment at a time, and
allow 24 hours after each adjustment for the refrigerator to reach the temperature you
have set.
Setting either or both controls to 0 stops cooling in both the refrigerator and freezer
compartments, but does not shut off electrical power to the refrigerator.

INSTALLING THE REFRIGERATOR
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 IO0°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 easeof installation,
proper air circulation and plumbing and electrical
connections.
Sides 1/8"(4 mm)
Top 1"(25 mm)
Back 1"(25 mm)
REMOVE TOP CAP (onsomemodels)
• IMPORTANTNOTE:This refrigeratoris 34-1/2" deep.
Doorsand passagewaysleadingto the installation
locationmust be at least 36"wide in order to
leavethe doors and handlesattached to the
refrigeratorwhile transporting it into the installation
location.Ifpassagewaysare lessthan36",the
refrigeratordoors and handlescaneasilybe scratched
and damaged.The top cap and doorscanbe removed
to allow the refrigeratorto be safely moved indoors.
Start with Step A.
• Ifit is not necessaryto remove doors, skipStep A.
Leavetape and allpackaging on doors untilthe
refrigeratoris in the final location.
• SKID REMOVAL:lilt refrigeratorto eachsideto

CONNECTING THE REFRIGERATOR
[]
TO THE HOUSE WATER LINE
(icemaker and dispenser models)
A cold water supply is required for automatic
icemaker operation. If there is not a cold water
supply, you will need to provide one. See
Installing the Water Line section.
NOTES:
• Before making the connection to the
refrigeratom;be sure the refrigerator power cord
is not plugged into the wall outlet.
• If your refrigerator does not have a water filtem;
we recommend installing one if your water
supply has sand or particles that could clog the
screen of the refrigerator's water valve. Install it
in the water line near the refrigerator. If using
GE SmartConnectTM Refrigerator Tubing Kit, you
will need an additional tube (WXOSXIO002)to
connect the filter. Do not cut plastic tube to
install filtem;

[] CONNECTING THE REFRIGERATOR
TO THE HOUSE WATER LINE
(cont.)
[] If you are using copper tubing, place a
compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) onto
the end of the tubing coming from the
house cold water supply.
If you are using the GE SmartConnect TM
tubing, the nuts are already assembled to
the tubing.
[] If you are using copper tubing, insert
the end of the tubing into the refrigerator
connection, at the back of the refrigerator,
as far as possible. While holding the
tubing, tighten the fitting.
If you are using GE SmartConnect TM
tubing, insert the molded end of the
tubing into the refrigerator connection,
at the back of the refrigerator, and tighten
the compression nut until it is hand tight.
Then tighten one additional turn with a
wrench. Overtightening may cause leaks.
[] Fasten the tubing into the clamp provided
to hold it in position. You may need to pry
open the clamp.
[] TURN ON THE WATER SUPPLY
(icemaker and dispenser models)
Turn the water on at the shutoff valve
(house water supply) and check for
any leaks.
[] PLUG IN THE REFRIGERATOR
On models with an icemaker, before
plugging in the refrigerator, make sure
the icemaker power switch is set to the

[] LEVEL THE REFRIGERATOR
The leveling legs have 3 purposes:
1) Leveling legs adjust so the door closes
easily when opened about halfway.
(Front of the refrigerator should be
1/4" [6 mm] higher than the rear of
the refrigerator).
2) Leveling legs adjust so the refrigerator
is firmly positioned on the floor and
does not wobble.
3) Leveling legs serve as a stabilizing
brake to hold the refrigerator securely
in position during operation and
cleaning.
[] Turn the leveling legs clockwise to raise the
refrigerator, counterclockwise to lower it.
-& CAUTION: Toavoidpossible
personal injury or property damage, the
leveling feet must be firmly touching
the floor.
[] Install the base grille by aligning the
prongs on the back of the grille with the

REVERSING THE DOOR SWING (Single Door Refrigerator Models only)
IMPORTANT NOTES
When reversing the door swing:
NOTE: Door swing is not reversible on some
stainless steel models.
• Read the instructions all the way through
before starting.
• Handle parts carefully to avoid scratching
paint.
• Set screws down by their related parts to
avoid using them in the wrong places.
• Provide a non-scratching work surface for
the doors.
IMPORTANT: Once you begin, do not move
the cabinet until door-swing reversal is
completed.
These instructions are for changing the
hinges from the right side to the left side--if
you ever want to change the hinges back to
the right side, follow these same instructions
and reverse all references to left and right.
• Once door swing is finalized, ensure
the logo badge is properly aligned and
permanently secured to the door by
removing the adhesive cover on the back
side. NOTE: If necessary call Customer
Service for a replacement badge.
Unplug the refrigerator from its electrical
outlet.
Empty all door shelves, including the dairy
compartment.
[] REMOVE THE
REFRIGERATOR DOOR
[] Tape the door shut with masking tape.
