[STEP1] REMOVEPACKAGING

CAUTION:Refrigerator is much heavier at the

top than at the bottom-be careful when moving. When

using a hand truck, handle from side only,

PRUDENCE:Le rdrige.rateur est beaucoup

plus Iourd en haut qu'en bas. IIfaut 6tre prudent Iors

, Carefully cut banding at the top and bottom,

remove outer carton.

, Slide out back corner posts (2).
, Slide carton off top of cabinet.

NOTE: IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO LAY CABINET DOWN IN

ORDER TO REMOVE SKID!

, The unit is secured to the skid with 2 full-length

tie-down straps. Remove the ten 5/16" bolts from the

base channels in the tie-downs.

STEP 2 INSTALL WATER LINE

, A cold water supply is required for automatic icemaker

operation. The water pressure must be between 40 and

120 p,s,i,

, Route 1/4" OD copper or GE SmartConnect TMplastic tubing

between house 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 OE-approved plastic tubing is supplied in
the GESmartConnect TMRefrigerator 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 TMRefrigerator Tubing Kits are available in
the following lengths:
2'(.6 m) WXO8XIO002 6'(1.8 m) WXO8XIO006

, Install a shut-off valve between the icemaker water

valve and cold water pipe in a basement or cabinet. The

shut-off valve should be located where it will be easily
accessible.

, 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 shut-off valve.

NOTE:Saddle type shut-off valves are included in

[STEP 5 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,

Leveling

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,

STEP6 SECUREUNIT TO WALL

The "L" rod can be found in the upper left corner of
the unit in the access compartment, Look through the
access compartment to make sure the rod lines up with
the anti-tip bracket,
There are 2 washers and a hair pin cotter with the rod,
Remove the washers and hair pin cotter from the end of

the rod,

Rotate and move the ,:: .......

"L" rod into the slot in : .....

the anti-tip bracket tab, " ----.
Once it is in the slot,

rotate the "L" rod so the
hook portion is pointing ',,,

down, The holes at the ',,
front end of the rod

should be in a vertical EngagedinBracket
position,
Pull out on the end of the rod to make sure it is secure

in the bracket,
Locate the hole on the rod that is closest to the unit, A

hair pin cotter will be put through this hole to secure the
rod, If this hole appears to be too far away for a snug fit
against the unit, add the washers one at a time until the
pin will fit tightly into the hole,
Align the straight section of the pin with the hole from
the underside of the rod, Push the pin up until it snaps
into position, Pliers may be used, NOTE: The hair pin
cotter must be vertical when this step is completed to
ensure the "L" rod is engaged in the bracket,
Check the rod for tightness by pulling forward, If the rod
moves, remove the hair pin cotter and place another
washer on the rod, Reinsert the pin,
